Please read the following PREP guidelines prior to your appointment:
WAX + SHAVE: waxing should be completed at least 48 hours prior to your appointment and shaving should be completed with a razor that lacks a moisture strip.
EXFOLIATE: use an exfoliating mitt to exfoliate your skin at least 24 hours prior to your appointment.
SPA TREATMENTS: tanning should always be the last beauty treatment completed.
NO BARRIERS: forego any lotions, oils, deodorant, perfumes, or makeup the day of your appointment. All of these can create a barrier on the skin that the tan will not adhere to.
CLOTHING: wear dark, loose clothing with open-toed sandals.
MANI + PEDI: complete mani and pedis the day prior.
SHOWERING: showering should be completed AT LEAST four hours prior to tanning to allow your pH levels to neutralize. If you must shower within four hours, run cold water at the end. Any bar soaps/cream-based body washes (dove specifically) are known to leave a residue on the skin and create a barrier that the tan cannot penetrate through and may leave streaks. A gel-based body wash is best.
SKINCARE: I recommend discontinuing the use of retinol and AHAs/BHAs days prior to your appointment, as these products can impact the color on your face.
