What to Expect When You Get an Airbrush Spray Tan
You’ve decided it’s time to trade in your winter pale for a glowing, sun-kissed vibe. But instead of baking in the sun (or risking a streaky self-tanner disaster), you’re taking the plunge with an airbrush spray tan at A Shore Thing Spray Tan Bar. Great choice, by the way! Whether you’re in Apex, Raleigh, Cary, Holly Springs, or Fuquay Varina, we’re here to spill the tea on everything you can expect from your spray tan experience.
Step 1: The Warm Welcome
First things first: when you walk into A Shore Thing Spray Tan Bar, you’ll be greeted with beachy vibes, friendly smiles, and maybe even the faint sound of waves crashing (ok, that might be your imagination). Our goal? Make you feel like you’re on a mini-vacay before your tan even starts. Bonus…we also have a complimentary snack bar. Say what?
Step 2: Craft Your Tan
No two tans are alike—and that’s how it should be! Start your experience off at Tan Bar where you will work with our expert technicians to determine your skin tone, your desired level of glow, and any specific concerns you may have. Add in scents like pineapple or gold shimmer drops for that customized experience. Want a subtle “I just got back from the Bahamas” look? Or maybe a bold “I live at the beach” vibe? We’ve got you.
Step 3: The Prep
Before the magic happens, you’ll be asked to change into whatever you’re comfortable with: a swimsuit, undergarments, or nothing at all. (Pro tip: we have disposable options if you want minimal tan lines.) We’ll give you a hair net, foot protectors, and a quick refresher on how to stand like a bronzing boss. We even have tan stickers like hearts and cherries if you want to have fun with your new skin color!
Step 4: The Tan
This is where the airbrush artist works their magic. The session typically takes about 10-15 minutes. First, we’ll apply a PH balancing spray to help the tanning solution work it’s magic. Then, using a handheld spray gun, we’ll apply an even layer of tanning solution tailored to your preferences. Don’t worry, it’s not like standing in front of a car wash—it’s quick, precise, and actually kind of relaxing.
Step 5: The Drying Dance
After your spray, you’ll stand in front of a fan to let your tan set. This is the perfect moment to practice your “I’m on a tropical beach” pose for Instagram. We’ll then top you off with a shimmery finishing powder to take away any sticky areas so you can get home feeling luxurious, not sticky!
Step 6: The Post-Tan Glow-Up
We’ll give you post-care instructions to keep your tan looking flawless. The golden rule? No water, sweat, or tight clothing for at least 8 hours. That means skipping the gym, the pool, and the skinny jeans. You’ll thank us later.
