"What shade should I go for?"
And honestly, everyone is different.. What you like may not be what your friend likes so here’s a quick rundown of our spray tan options..
SUNKISSED - Our lightest shade. Perfect if you're naturally fair, new to spray tanning or just want a lovely subtle glow without looking like you've been away for three weeks!
HOLIDAY GLOW - Exactly what it says on the tin! That gorgeous holiday colour that makes you look like you've had a wee week in the sun. Perfect for everyday tanning.
DEEP TAN - For the girls who love a proper bronzed look! A deeper, darker colour that's gorgeous for nights out, holidays and special occasions.
ULTRA DARK - Now this one is NOT for everyone..
If you love a really deep, dark tan then this is for you. But if you're naturally very pale, we wouldn't necessarily recommend jumping straight to our darkest shade.
THE CLEAR TAN! - This one is a HUGE favourite with our brides, and for good reason! Our Clear Spray Tan comes in Light, Medium and Dark, so you can still get that gorgeous deep bronzed colour without any cosmetic bronzer in the solution. No bronzer means no guide-colour to transfer onto your clothes or wedding dress!
And don't worry, just because it's clear doesn't mean it's going to be lighter. You can achieve the same gorgeous dark results as our classic spray tan!
The only real difference is that you won't see an instant colour when we spray you, you’ll leave the salon looking the exact same leaving as you did when you came in..as there's no bronzer in the solution.
AND NOT FORGETTING OUR EXPRESS TAN! - This one's perfect for the girls who don't want to sleep in their tan or just don't fancy sitting about in it all night.
With our Express Tan you can rinse off after just
2 hours for medium
4 hours for dark
5–6 hours for extra dark!
So if you're one of those girls who hates the feeling of having tan on or just wants to get showered and into your jammies, this one's for you!
And don't worry, your tan will still continue developing after you've rinsed it off, so you'll wake up with a gorgeous colour without having to sleep in it!
Here's something else worth knowing...
Our three types of spray tan have different development times!
CLASSIC SPRAY TAN: Develops over approximately 8–12 hours.
CLEAR SPRAY TAN: Takes around 16–24 hours to fully develop.
EXPRESS TAN : Can wash off in as little as 2 hours.
We always recommend booking any spray tans for a special occasion 2 days before to let the magic happen. Something people don’t realise is your tan can continue developing after your first shower, so don't judge the final result too early... It's doing its thing! You just need to give it time.
And please don't feel like you need to know exactly what shade to book. That's what we're here for! We always have a wee chat before your tan about what colour you'd like, what you're getting it done for and what will suit your skin best.
Whether you're after a natural everyday glow, a proper dark tan or a transfer-free option for your wedding dress, we've got you covered!
