Every skin tone develops differently-even when using the same solution and the same prep. A trial tan is the best way to make sure you LOVE your wedding day color. 

During your trial, we:

-test solution strength and undertones

-see how your skin develops over 24 hours

-note your preferred depth of color

-ensure your tan photographs flawlessly

Skipping a trial tan may limit how much fine-tuning we can do during wedding-week. For this reason, a trial tan is strongly encouraged.

Both options look equally as beautiful once fully developed. The only difference is how long you wait before rinsing.

Classic: Rinse in 8-12 hours, color fully develops in 24 hours

Express: Rinse in 2-5 hours, color fully develops in 24 hours.

For brides, express is recommended.

This gives us more flexibility on timing, more control, and reduces stress because:

-color develops faster

-we can evaluate results sooner

-you're not sleeping in your spray tan, potentially causing unintentional flaws in your sleep (skin to skin contact, sweating, etc.)

Brides are not required to choose express, but it is the best option for peace of mind.

2+ weeks before the wedding: Bridal trial tan

2-3 days before the wedding: Wedding day tan

48 hours is ideal for the color to settle and bronzer to wash off and avoid transferring onto your dress.

Skin prep is EVERYTHING. 

To get the most even, long-lasting tan possible, please follow prep instructions exactly:

-Exfoliate 24-48 hours before your tan

-Shave/wax 24 hours before

-No lotions, oils, deodorants, or makeup the day of your tan

-Arrive with clean, dry skin.

You'll receive full detailed prep instructions after booking.

Your tan will continue to develop over 24 hours. During that time:

-Avoid sweating, crying, getting wet.

-No soap, shampoo, or conditioner at your first rinse

-Avoid hot tubs, pools, retinoids, and exfoliants

You'll receive full detailed prep instructions after booking.

To ensure the smoothest experience possible:

-Bridal trials are strongly recommended for brides

-Express tans are recommended

-Color development varies by individual; full color development appears at 24 hours

-No refunds are provided for tans that develop normally but differ from the bride's expectations when no trial was completed

-Complimentary adjustments may be offered only when timing allows and only when photos are provided

Failure to follow prep and aftercare instructions may affect the final result.

I am not responsible for tans that develop differently due to hormones, medications, cycle changes, or skincare products.

This policy ensures your tan looks its absolute best while keeping stress low for both of us.
