Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our Luxury Spray Tan technicians use the award winning machine to spray the award winning sunless formula onto your skin. The active ingredient and coloring agent in the solution dihydroxyacetone (DHA) causes a chemical reaction with the amino acids on the outer most layer of the skin. This reaction causes the color of the skin to change, producing a beautiful natural tan. DHA starts to react with the skin within 2 hours of the Luxury Spray Tan application and continues to do so for a total of 8-12 hours. As your dead skin cells are sloughed off or worn away from the surface your tan begins to fade.

  • Our team at Luxury Spray Tan likes perfection. All of our Luxury Spray Tan techs have had hands on training from Norvell University and are Master Certified Sunless Experts. We go out of our way to make sure you achieve the very best and natural looking spray tan – each and every time. We consult with our clients on the desired color of your spray tan and take the time to make sure you receive the perfect spray tan.

  • Receiving a Mobile Spray Tan with Luxury Spray Tan couldn’t be easier. We can come to your home, office, resort, and more. It only takes 10 -20 minutes to set-up, spray the tan and pack up; you can even do it on your lunch break. Luxury Spray Tan uses a protective mobile spray tanning tent, which means there is no mess to cleanup. Mobile spray tanning is ideal for the entertainment industry, fitness competitions, concierge service for their guests, girl’s night in/out, and wedding parties, plus much more!

  • A professional application such as a Luxury Mobile Spray Tan will last longer than an at-home application, as there is usually a greater percentage of DHA used. With proper care, your Luxury Spray Tan can last for a week or more. See our Tips page for before and after care to extend the longevity of your tan’s life to its fullest.

  • It is best to wait about 8 hours after your Basic Luxury Spray Tanning session before you shower to give the DHA time to fully react with the skin proteins. We recommend 12 hours and for best results wait 24 hours. We also offer an Express tan which allows you to rinse off within 1-4 hours later.

  • Dry, flaky skin will slough off faster and color will fade sooner so it is important to keep skin moisturized after your Luxury Spray Tanning session. Moisturizing slows down your body's natural exfoliation process.

  • As most of the Spray Tan solutions contains a cosmetic bronzer, some of the bronze color may rub off on clothing or bed sheets. This is most likely to happen when you get dressed immediately after your Luxury Mobile Spray Tanning session. To minimize the chance of the tint transferring to clothing, we recommend that you wear loose-fitting, darker clothes after your Luxury Spray Tanning session. Also try to refrain from physical exertion that could result in you sweating until you shower and wash off the cosmetic bronzer. The cosmetic tint is water-soluble. Therefore, in most cases, the color will come out of clothing and sheets in the wash.

  • Your custom Luxury Spray Tanning session will normally takes about 15 to 20 minutes.

  • DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is all-natural and has been approved by the FDA for cosmetic use for over 30 years. Spray Tanning is the best and safest alternative to the dangers of sun exposure. The sunless tanning application is safe, effective and takes as little as 15-20 minutes from start to finish. The solution takes 8-12 hours to fully develop and your spray tan will darken during this time.

  • There are no known side effects from the application but you should always consult with your physician before receiving a Luxury Spray Tan. Results on pregnant woman may differ due to the hormonal changes in the body.

  • We don’t do orange! After research and testing almost every product in the market, we have found incredible products in Norvell that are truly the best solutions on the market. They do not use the usual dyes that produce the orange discoloration that you may have experienced in the past from other sunless tanning products. We take the high grade DHA Norvell Solutions and customize them to your skin type, which will give you better and longer lasting results.

  • Yes, you can get your Luxury Spray Tan at night or go to sleep shortly after your Spray Tan session. Some of the cosmetic bronzer may rub off on your sheets but will wash out with the possible exception of very few fabrics such as wool, silk, spandex, and lycra. We recommend you do not sleep on any of these types of fabrics within 8-10 hours of your session to be safe. We actually recommend our Luxury Mobile Spray Tan service at any time of day.

  • No. There is NO SPF or protection from your Luxury Spray Tan. We highly recommend wearing sunscreen every day and personally love the brands Sun Bum, Coola, Hempz, Alba, and Supergoop. We sell Hempz at the salon if you want to pick up a bottle!
