Frequently asked questions.
The most common questions we get asked:
-
You will want to book your tan 2 days prior to your event. If you are a bride we recommend 2-3 days in advance. For vacays, we suggest the day before.

Not at all! Each tan is customized to you match your skin-tone and undertones, giving you a flawless and natural color.

A gorgeous tan starts with the right prep work. Check our “Need to Know” tab and under Spray Tans, you will get all the information you need to know for prep, what to expect during, and how to care for your tan after your session.

Tan longevity 100% depends on how well you prepare and care for your tan.
Typically our Rapid tans last 5-7 days and our Aloe or 8 hour Solutions last anywhere from 7-14 days.
A little tip:
Hydrated tans last longer! So don’t forget to drink up that water and apply moisturizer to your skin 2x a day.

Our mamas love getting a spray tan! We use clean, organic, vegan and non-toxic solutions.

Absolutely! 100%! Your spray tan does not protect you from sun burns, so if you plan to be out in the sun, don’t skip that SPF.
Not all SPF is safe for your tan, meaning some will fade your tan more quickly. Check out what products to you in this section of FAQ’s for spray tan approved SPF.
-
We suggest wearing loose and dark clothes immediately after and to sleep in the night of your tan! You may experience a slight transfer of color from the cosmetic bronzer, but once you have your first shower, you should not have any color rubbing off. If you do, the tan will come out of your clothing and/or sheets when you wash them.
-
You can expect minimal pain and some discomfort, especially if this is your first time removing hair.
Following pre sugaring instructions will help to lessen any pain and lower discomfort.
You can expect some tenderness up to 48 hours post session.
Following post care instructions is important to keeping things smooth.
Head over to our “Need to Know” section under Sugaring for prep and aftercare.
-
Hair growth cycle is every 3-4 weeks and comes in 3 stages. For optimal results and more hair removed we suggest the following time frames:
Brazilians we suggest every 4-5 weeks, depending on your hair growth.
Underarms every 2-4 weeks.
Legs 3-5 weeks.
*Remember that if hair is shorter than 1/4 inch, it cannot be removed. So opt for hair length that is about a grain of rice and you should be good to go.
-
Brazilian sugaring is a service that is referred to for the intimate area.
All hair is removed from the front and the back.
Some do opt to leave a little there but most choose to go completely bare. Make sure to let your sugarista know what you prefer.
-
Sugaring is a natural alternative to waz for hair removal.
It is 3 ingredients:
Sugar
Water
Lemon
It is safe on sensitive clients and can even help brighten darker areas due to the lemon. It works by going into the hair follicle, it is applied against hair growth and removed with the hair growth. This allows for more hair to be taken at the root and lessens ingrown. Hair comes back softer and less over time. Because it is natural, it does not adhere to live skin, only the hair. We are absolutely obsessed with Sugar. The results are amazing!
-
Our most popular is: Glo2facial it not only provides the longest lasting results but it is our longer appointments. Giving you luxury, relaxation and results.
But don’t worry! If you are unsure we can find what works best for your skin, the results you are wanting.
-
Dermaplaning is a great option for almost everyone! It is also a great option for sensitive clients and those who do not want to wax or sugar their face.
Dermaplaning cannot be done over acne so if you are experiencing significant breakout, it would be best to schedule an acne facial and dermaplane another time.
If you are diabetic, you must have doctor approval prior to your appointment. We use a surgical blade and while it is rare, nicks can happen.
