Step 1: A Warm Welcome and Quick Consultation

When you arrive at our Austin spray tanning salon, one of our trained spray tan artists will walk you through the process. We’ll ask about your skin type, tanning goals, and any upcoming events to design a tan just for you.

✅ Shade Selection: We’ll custom-mix your formula from over 50 shades for a natural finish.

✅ Skin Prep Guidance: If needed, we’ll help you remove lotion or deodorant with our in-house Prepare spray to ensure even absorption.

✅ Comfort and Privacy: Each client has a private room to feel completely at ease.

Step 2: Expert Application

This is where our salon stands out. Unlike automated booths, every spray tan is applied by hand for precise, even coverage.

✨ Custom Techniques: Our artists are trained in the exclusive 360 Tans spray system for consistent results every time.

✨ Signature 3D Contouring: We’ll enhance your natural definition with subtle shading.

✨ Clear or Tinted Formulas: Choose between clear for zero transfer or tinted for instant color.

Step 3: Post-Tan Touches

Once your tan is applied, we’ll:

Apply Setting Powder with a spray gun for a smooth, dry finish that locks in color and prevents smudging.
Share aftercare tips so your glow lasts longer and fades evenly.
Recommend products like Polish (a body wash replacement) and Hydrating Moisture Lock Spray to keep your skin hydrated and glowing.

Step 4: Pair It With Wellness

For the ultimate glow, many clients pair their tan with:

Red Light Therapy to refresh their skin before tanning.
Hydro Steam Sauna to remove old color and start fresh.
