FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before your first mobile spray tan session.

How does mobile spray tanning work?

We travel to your home, dorm, office, or event anywhere in our Erie County service area with a private pop-up tent and professional airbrush equipment. You provide a small space with a level floor โ€” we handle everything else, including setup and cleanup.

How long does a spray tan session take?

Most solo sessions take 20โ€“30 minutes, including a quick consultation to pick your shade. Group and bridal party sessions typically run 20โ€“25 minutes per person.

How do I prepare for my appointment?

Exfoliate and shave 24 hours before your session, arrive with clean, product-free skin, and wear loose, dark clothing to your appointment. Avoid moisturizer, deodorant, and makeup the day of your session.

When will I see color, and how long does it last?

Color develops over 4โ€“8 hours depending on the solution you choose (or 1 hour with our Express Rapid Tan add-on). A typical tan lasts 7โ€“10 days with proper aftercare and daily moisturizing.

Is the solution safe, and will it smell?

Yes โ€” we use professional, skin-safe DHA-based solution free of harsh chemicals. Most modern solutions have little to no scent, and any initial smell fades within a few hours of rinsing.

Do you travel outside Erie and Millcreek?

Yes. We regularly serve Harborcreek, Fairview, McKean, North East, Girard, Edinboro, Waterford, Summit Township, Wesleyville, and Lawrence Park. Outer Erie County bookings may include a small travel fee โ€” see our Service Area page or ask when you book.

Can I book a group or bridal party session?

Absolutely โ€” our party and bridal packages are some of our most popular bookings. We recommend booking at least 2โ€“3 weeks ahead for weddings, and we're happy to do a trial tan before the big day.

What's your cancellation policy?

We ask for at least 24 hours' notice to reschedule or cancel so we can offer the slot to another client. Same-day cancellations may be subject to a small fee.
