Please read, understand, and agree to the following:
Airbrush tanning is accomplished by application of a solution containing the active ingredient: DHA (Dihydroxyacetone). DHA is generally considered to be safe and has been FDA approved ONLY if you follow guidelines to protect mucous membranes. The FDA advises asking the following questions when considering the application of DHA products by spraying:
1. Are you protected from exposure in the entire area of the eyes, in addition to the eyes themselves?
2. Are you protected from exposure on the lips and all parts of the body covered by mucous membrane?
3. Are you protected from internal exposure caused by inhaling or ingesting the product?
If the answer to any of these questions is "no," you are not protected from the unapproved use of DHA. You should request measures to
protect your eyes and mucous membranes and prevent inhalation.
- You will be guided to the airbrush tanning area where you will dress down to your comfort level. Disposable undergarments are available upon request. Understand that the solutions bronzer will wash out of most clothing. It is advised to wash any clothing worn as soon as possible after your session. It is recommended to wear dark, loose fitting cotton clothing after your appointment.
- Your technician will airbrush you. After application, your skin will be dried and powdered before you dress. Do not bathe or sweat excessively for the recommended amount of processing time. The solution may give you an immediate bronzing effect. This bronzing effect is a result of a temporary coloring additive in the solution that will remain on the skin until your first rinse. During your first rinse, the bronzer will come off and your sunless tan produced by DHA will be revealed within 12-24 hours. Everyone's skin reacts to DHA differently so you may have development after your first rinse but you also may not. If you do not show any signs of development after 12 hours, please inform us.
- All people, all skin, is different: All ingredients used in this service are intended for cosmetic use and generally regarded as safe. There are, however, occasions where individuals may be allergic to one or more ingredients in the airbrush solution. Please request a copy of the ingredients list if you have any known allergies and discuss alternative options with your technician.
- Be advised there is a small percentage of people whose skin may not react favorably to airbrush tanning. For this reason, we do NOT advise being sprayed for the first time when your appearance is critical: (Wedding, Photo Shoot, Prom, etc.) Please schedule a trial session at least four weeks before your event, for best results.
- Pregnant or nursing women should consult their physician and obtain a written release before making an appointment. Women that are in their first trimester will not be sprayed under any circumstances. Airbrush tanning is not normally contraindicated when a mask or nose filters are used, but each pregnancy is different. Your medical care provider may prefer a more cautious approach based on your specific needs and health concerns.
- We reserve the right to refuse to spray anyone who has a sunburn. It is not advised to spray tan over a burn as it will result in peeled skin that can last 5-10 days. You, the client, assume all responsibility if your tan reacts from any peeling skin after sun exposure or from cosmetic procedures such as lasers or chemical peels without informing your technician prior.
- This product does not contain a sunscreen and does not protect against sunburn. Repeated exposure of unprotected skin to UV light may increase the risk of skin aging, skin cancer, and other harmful effects to the skin even if you do not burn.
