When it comes to event prep, your glow deserves just as much attention as your outfit and hair. Whether you’re attending a wedding, photoshoot, or special occasion, timing your tan is everything.
At 360 Tans, we help clients across Austin plan their perfect spray tanning schedule so their color develops beautifully — soft, even, and camera-ready right when it counts.
When to Book Your Austin Spray Tanning Appointment
For the most natural results, we recommend booking your Austin spray tanning session two days before your event.
That window gives your color time to fully develop, settle into your skin, and fade just enough to look effortlessly natural.
✨ Two Days Before: Best for most events — your color will be at its peak.
✨ One Day Before: Ideal if you’re getting a rapid tan (rinse after 2–4 hours).
✨ Three Days Before: Great for first-timers who want to test the shade and rinse time.
If you’re unsure, our expert artists can help you choose the perfect schedule for your skin and your plans.
The Perfect Glow for Every Occasion
💍 Weddings: Tan two days before the ceremony. Brides should do a trial tan 3–4 weeks prior to perfect their tone.
📸 Photoshoots: Tan one to two days before — the color looks balanced under both natural and flash lighting.
☀️ Vacations: Book one to two days before you leave so you arrive glowing.
🎉 Special Events: Tan two days before for smooth, even color and hydrated skin.
Your tan should enhance your look — not compete with it.
Why Timing Matters
Your tan develops over several hours as the DHA interacts with your skin. Giving your color enough time to mature before your event ensures:
An even, natural finish
No bronzer transfer
Smooth, hydrated skin for makeup or dresses
Rushing the process can leave your color lighter or less balanced. A little planning goes a long way.
