Our Process: The Secret to Your Perfect Glow
Ever wonder how the airbrush spray tan process works? It’s not magic, but it’s pretty close. At A Shore Thing Spray Tan Bar, we use top-notch tools like the Apollo Mighty Mist machine, Sjolie tanning solutions, and Glow by Erin finishing powder to give you that just-back-from-the-beach look. If you’re in Apex, Raleigh, Cary, Holly Springs, or Fuquay Varina, NC, and ready to learn how we create your flawless glow, let’s dive in!
Step 1: Meet the Mighty Mist
First up, the Apollo Mighty Mist. This isn’t your average spray gun—it’s a precision tool designed for expert-level tanning. Think of it as the Ferrari of spray tan machines. The Mighty Mist delivers a super-fine mist of tanning solution, ensuring even coverage without streaks. It’s gentle, effective, and efficient, so you’ll be bronzed and ready in just minutes.
Step 2: The Power of Sjolie Tanning Solutions
Here’s where the real magic happens: Sjolie tanning solutions. These products are vegan, cruelty-free, and made with natural ingredients. No funky chemicals or harsh smells—just high-quality DHA (the active ingredient that makes your skin tan). We customize the solution to match your skin tone and desired level of bronze, so whether you’re after a subtle glow or a deep tan, we’ve got you covered.
Pro Tip: Sjolie solutions develop gradually, so your tan will look natural and flawless as it darkens over the next 8-12 hours.
Step 3: Glow by Erin Finishing Powder
Nobody likes that sticky feeling post-spray tan. That’s where Glow by Erin finishing powder comes in. This light, talc-free powder is dusted onto your skin after your tan to absorb excess moisture and leave you feeling fresh. Bonus: it smells amazing and prevents any post-tan mishaps (like sticking to your car seat).
How It All Comes Together
Here’s the play-by-play:
Prep: You’ll arrive at our studio, and we’ll walk you through pre-tan instructions to ensure your skin is ready for optimal results. After you’re undressed and prepped, we’ll spray a PH balancing spray to neutralize your skin and get it ready to accept the tanning solution.
Spray: Using the Apollo Mighty Mist, we’ll apply a layer of Sjolie tanning solution. Our expert technicians know all the tricks to give you even, natural-looking coverage. The DHA is the ingredient that will color your skin and your final color will develop over the next 24 hours. In the meantime, a cosmetic bronzer will have you glowing instantly and will wash off when your real tan is ready.
Finish: Glow by Erin finishing powder seals the deal, so you can leave feeling confident and comfortable.
