SPRAY TANS DON’T BEGIN & END AT OUR DOORS

The end spray tan result is based on 50% of the artist's work and 50% on the client's preparation and aftercare of the tan. We can give you the best spray tan using the best products and technique, but without the right prep/aftercare it won't turn out as flawless as we want it to!

Everything you need to do and know before you come in for your appointment.

Creating a smooth, even, and pH balanced canvas is an extremely important part of the spray tan process. Follow these prep steps for a flawless tan

  • Exfoliate your skin & shower the night before the tan - NOT the day of the tan.

    If possible, exfoliate 2-3 times leading up to the day of the appointment with the last time being the night before.

    Avoid scrubs with oils as they may leave an oil residue preventing the spray tan solution from soaking into your skin properly.

    (Ask us about the exfoliation mitt we carry in-studio created specifically for spray tan prep and locally made in Toronto).

  • On the days leading up to the tan, moisturize your skin often! The more your skin is moisturized, the better. But don’t use lotion ON the day of the appointment.

    Drink lots of water so your skin is also hydrated from the inside out.

  • Shave 24 hours before the tan, NOT the day of the tan.

    Waxing should be done at least 48 hours prior so that no residue is left on the skin.

    Manicures/pedicures should also be done 24-48 hours before the tan.

    If you must do nails afterwards, we recommend just a polish change as you want to avoid any soaking & scrubbing that occurs with a full mani/pedi.

  • On the day of the tan, do not shower! You should have already done this last night when exfoliating. Do not put any product on the skin. This includes lotion, oil, deodorant (especially spray deodorants or the Dove brand deodorant), serums, perfume, or makeup.

  • Bring dark, loose clothing. No jeans, leggings, or bras can be worn right after the appointment (unless you’re wearing the bra during the tan).

    If it looks like it may rain, bring an umbrella and wear clothes that cover you up as you cannot get your skin wet after the spray tan until your first shower.

  • Please do not come to the appointment with jewelry on. Jewelry must be removed before arriving -especially bracelets, necklaces, and anklets.

    Please leave all jewelry at home as you cannot put it back on after the tan, it often takes a lot of time to remove finicky necklaces or bracelets, and clients will regularly forget jewelry at our salon.

    *We are not responsible for jewelry or any other valuable/sentimental items left here after the appointment.

  • If you have any sunburns or recent sun/UV damage at all, we will not be able to spray tan you.

    This includes minor sunburns, even if there was no peeling or intense redness.

    Please note: it is the client's responsibility to prevent UV and sun damage prior to the appointment. Any appointments that we must turn away/cancel within 48 hours of the appointment time due to UV damage will be treated as a late cancellation and charged 100% of the service fee.

  • Ideally, lash extension appointments should be booked at least 1 day prior to the spray tan appointment, not after the spray tan.

    If you’re absolutely not able to do your lashes until after your spray tan:

    • If you are doing your lashes the same day, before rinsing off the tan, you may want to consider not tanning your face.

    • If you are doing your lashes after you’ve rinsed off the tan, you could still tan your face but potentially run the risk of the lash tape/eye cushions removing some of the tan. It doesn’t happen often but it’s up to you if you want to risk that -you can always fix with makeup.

  • We kindly ask you not to bring any guests with you unless they are also booked for an appointment. This includes children as we’re located in a beauty studio with other service providers using lots of equipment that can be hot, sharp, heavy, expensive to replace if broken, or potentially came into contact with chemicals.

    For liability reasons and out of respect for the other service providers in the studio, we will have to turn away anyone who arrives with a guest especially if the guest is a minor. This would be considered a late cancellation and the fee would apply.

  • Our address is: 700 Chrislea Rd inside URBAN BODY BEAUTY & TRAINING STUDIO (Unit 2) in Vaughan, ON. The closest major intersection is Langstaff & Weston Rd.

    PARKING: there’s parking directly out front of our building. If all the spots are taken, you can also park at Nascosto restaurant to the left of our building (they have parking in both the front and back).

    Walk in to Urban Body Beauty & Training Studio through the doors on the far right. Walk up the stairs and take a seat in the waiting area above the stairs -we are by appointment only and don’t have a receptionist but we assure you that one of our artists will come get you when they are ready! :)

    Late arrivals: please note we have a 5 minute grace period. Spray tans are a quick service and we are often booked back to back so please allow yourself ample time to arrive on time and take into consideration the possibility of traffic. If a client is more than 5 minutes late, the appointment will be cancelled with the cancellation fee applied. Thank you for understanding!

Everything you need to do and know AFTER you come in for your appointment.

Caring for your tan after the appointment is going to play a role in how the final result turns out. Just like caring for your lashes, nails, or hair, your spray tan needs a little TLC too! Follow these tips to help prolong the tan and ensure that it fades smoothly and evenly.

  • Immediately after the spray tan, before the first shower, you cannot get wet or sweat at all.

    This means no washing dishes, no working out during the processing time, no crying, walking outside in the rain, etc.

    Use this as an excuse to rest, relax, and just chill! You deserve it😉

  • Do not touch your skin until after your first rinse!

    This means no skin to skin contact with yourself or anyone else until your first shower.

    Colour may smudge or transfer from one part of your body to another (most commonly seen is the palms of the hands when people itch their face or another part of the body).

    Wearing long sleeves/pants will help prevent this.

  • Your artist will tell you how many hours to wait before your first shower. This first shower is ONLY A RINSE using water! Avoid hot water -you don’t have to freeze, lukewarm is fine! We just don’t want to dry out the skin with scorching hot water.

    Do not wait longer to rinse than what the artist recommended or you run the risk of undesired results.

    Do not use any product at all. This includes body wash, soap, scrubs, shampoo, conditioner, etc. Water only!

    You'll see the bronzer coming off your body which is exactly what we want; rinse every crevice of your body and when the water runs completely clear you can get out.

    Always pat skin dry with the towel, never rub your skin with the towel!

  • Moisturize your skin every single day using tan friendly products (you can purchase these at your appointment) to prolong the tan and keep it looking smoother.

    Dry skin and spray tans do not mix well.

    Most drugstore lotions/body washes will have ingredients that could strip the tan; we carry tan-safe moisturizers and body washes that can be purchased in-studio that will not strip your tan and will actually help to prolong it.

    If possible, moisturize 2x per day.

    Avoid Dove products, soap bars, spray deodorant, aerosol sunscreen, and products with mineral oil.

  • We recommend avoiding shaving with a spray tan but if you absolutely need to shave, use a brand new sharp razor rather than a dull razor that will scrape your skin.

    Shave with conditioner or coconut oil, not shave gel.

    NO WAXING and no laser while you have a spray tan.

  • Spray tans do not prevent you from the damage of UV rays.

    You still need to wear SPF! We recommend the Sun Bum brand (use the lotion sunscreen product, not the aerosol).

    Whether you normally burn in the sun or you normally tan in the sun, your skin will react the same way it usually does even with the spray tan.

  • If you want to prolong the tan, we recommend that you invest in some of our sunless tanning products at your appointment!

    Our clear self-tanner touch up spray is great for refreshing the tan on areas that fade the quickest such as the face, hands, and feet.

    Our spray tan safe moisturizers come in small travel sizes (carry-on friendly) or full sized!

    Our spray tan friendly body washes not only smell yummy and luxurious, but they make a HUGE difference in maintaing your tan and how long it lasts. Soap bars and most body washes from drug stores will strip the tan quicker due to their ingredients.

    Ask us to see what options we sell in studio at your appointment!
