Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely the safest way to achieve a tan! Airbrush Tanning is the fastest, safest way to have an instant bronze without the premature aging and skin damage that UV rays cause. The active ingredient in airbrush tanning solutions is DHA (dihydroxyacetone) which has been approved for use in sunless tanning by the FDA for over 30 years. DHA derived from raw sugar cane and reacts with the amino acids(proteins) in the outer layer of the skin to produce a bronze color. Our solution is a premium product to produce a natural looking color that we customize to your skin tone. As always we as that you consult your physician before your airbrush tan if you have any concerns.

We have never turned anyone orange since our existence. We carry a line of solution which has been tested on about every skin tone you can think of. The only way the color will not come out as it should would be for you to come in dirty( no shower and body has all natural oils on your skin) or you put a barrier lotion over your skin. You want to come in exfoliated and clear of all lotions, makeup, and perfumes. As an example, when you add perfume on your skin, you then change the composition of the solution by adding the ingredients of your perfume.

We recommend you wear dark, loose clothing to try to prevent the color guard from rubbing off on your clothes. If you do see some color rub off prior to your first shower, it should completely wash out when you wash your clothes. Do NOT wear spandex/ lycra, wool,  nylon, silk, or leather as these all can stain.

It should take no longer than 10 to 15 minutes for a full body tan. Since EO Tan and Spa always gives as many coats as needed, it usually takes 15 minutes, which includes 5 more minutes for drying time.

Your airbrush tan typically last between 7-10 days depending on your after tan skincare. The day after your tan, we recommend moisturizing daily (2 times a day for very dry skin). 

You may wear a dark, snug fitting swimsuit or undergarment. Some women opt to have no tan lines at all. Men may NOT tan nude. We do ask that men wear some type of undergarment (boxers, boxer briefs, underwear, or a sock must be worn at all times). Cliens under the age of 18 must have a legal guardian present, and may not under any circumstances tan nude. 

Absolutely. In fact, there is no SPF protection in the airbrush solution. If you would normally tan in the sun, you will still tan with your airbrush tan. If you would normally burn, you will still burn with your airbrush tan. I always recommend wearing SPF protection with or without an airbrush tan.

The solution will not discolor nail polish. Out solution is a water base. However, we will have you apply specialized lotion to nails and cuticles prior to your airbrush application. The EO Tan Tantress will also wipe your nails down after the airbrush tan.

If you have any concerns, please contact your doctor.

Being that is is a service, we always appreciate when someone tips. However, by no means are you required to do so.

EO stands for elevating ordinary. The difference between ordinary and elevating ordinary is that little extra. That is exactly what EO Tan and Spa is all about, going that little extra to make sure our clients are beyond happy. We are all about Elevating Ordinary to Extraordinary!

It is always recommended to come in and do a skin analysis prior to your facial appointment to see what your skin needs and your concerns as well.
