Your Questions, Answered:

  • Our in-home studio is based in Goochland, VA. We are 5 minutes from the Gum Spring exit, right off of 64. We do not advertise our address for safety reasons. Once your appointment and payment have been confirmed, we will communicate with you the address for your appointment.

  • We do! I can travel and tan you in the comfort of your home for an additional fee. We travel within 15 miles of Goochland. Each in-home appointment must be accepted and will be taken on a case-by-case basis.

  • We recommend wearing dark, loose clothing to your session to avoid rubbing off your new spray tan and staining your clothes. During the application process, we recommend wearing a black bikini, a dark-colored thong, or, best of all, your birthday suit to avoid tan lines.

  • We recommend 2-3 days before your big day; however, we know life can be crazy! We offer a rapid solution that develops rapidly in 2-4 hours instead of the traditional 8-hour developing solution. We recommend a rapid solution the day before if you are on a time crunch!

  • We encourage everyone to check with their doctor before booking their spray tan. We use a tanning solution that is paraben, gluten, fragrance, and preservative-free. We use the cleanest solution available on the market. We do recommend waiting until 15 weeks to get your glow on!

    All spray tan solutions contain DHA, so please be aware that there is no such thing as an organic tanning solution. All tanning solutions contain this chemical in order to generate your tan.

  • Welcome! We love first time tanning clients and welcome them with open arms arms. We will walk you through the entire process start to finish! you are always welcome to message us if you want the low-down prior to your appointment in order to feel more comfortable and prepared leading up to your date with us!

Prep + Post Care:

  • Exfoliate thoroughly

    • Focus on dry areas: elbows, knees, ankles, hands

    • Use a scrub or exfoliating mitt (no oily products)

    Hair removal (if needed) and Pedicures BEFORE your appointment:

    • Shave or wax at least 24 hours before

    • This prevents irritation and dark pores

  • Come completely clean

    • Shower with no soap residue, oils, or conditioner left on skin

    • Do NOT apply:

      • Lotion

      • Deodorant

      • Perfume

      • Makeup

    Wear loose, dark clothing

    • Think oversized tee, sweatpants, slides

    • No tight bras/leggings (they can cause lines)

  • Right Before Your Tan:

    • Leave the jewelry at home

    • Bring or wear dark underwear or bikini bottoms, or plan on going naked to avoid tan lines!

  • Immediately After:

    • Stay dry until your rinse time

    • Wear loose, dark clothing

    • Avoid sweating or skin-to-skin contact

    When to Rinse (VERY important):

    Your artist will tell you based on depth:

    • 1–2 hours → light tan

    • 3 hours → medium

    • 4–5 hours → dark

    Do NOT go longer than recommended as it can cause your tan to overdevelop.

    First Shower:

    • Quick rinse with lukewarm water only

    • No soap, no shaving

    • Rinse until water runs clear (bronzer coming off is normal)

    After Rinse:

    • You may not look super dark yet — color develops over the next 12–24 hours

    • Wait 12–24 hours before using soap

    Remember it is a rapid rinse, not a rapid development. Your full tan will be developed 24 hours after your appointment.

    • No workouts
