Your Questions, Answered

  • Eliminates Tan Lines: Strapless, backless, or plunging necklines look cleanest without contrasting strap lines from everyday outdoor wear. Shade technicians are trained to do custom tan line fills ins, which will blend even the most noticeable lines.

    Makes White Gowns Pop: A subtle, warm skin tone creates a beautiful contrast against white, ivory, or alabaster wedding fabrics.

    Camera-Ready Dimension: Flash photography and light (white) clothing can wash out complexions, but a subtle tan adds depth, warmth, and contouring on camera. Professional spray tanning balances redness, hyper pigmentation, and covers blemishes across your arms, chest, and back.

    UV-Free: You avoid the risks of skin damage, redness, sunburn, fungal infections, or peeling skin right before your big event by choosing a spray tan over a bed.

    Honeymoon Longevity: High-quality sunless formulas easily last 5 to 7 days, keeping you glowing straight through your travel departure.

    Time-Saving Convenience: Achieving an even color takes less than 20 minutes versus needing multiple sessions.

  • Tests Your Skin Chemistry: Sunless solutions react differently to everyone's unique skin pH, making a trial the only way to see the actual final color.

    Locks in the Perfect Shade: You can adjust the formulation to be lighter or darker for the wedding based on how the trial fades

    Coordinates with Your Makeup: Your makeup artist needs to see your tanned complexion to correctly match your wedding day foundation and concealer.

    Reveals Your Fade Timeline: You will learn exactly which day after application the tan looks its absolute best, pinpointing your ideal wedding appointment window.

    Highlights Hidden Dry Patches: The trial exposes any areas on your body (like elbows, knees, or wrists) that need extra exfoliation or moisture before the big day.

    Precludes Allergic Reactions: It ensures you will not experience unexpected skin irritation, rashes, or breakouts from the tanning solution ingredients. It’s uncommon, but also not the time you want to deal with any adverse effect.

  • Why Spray Tans Transfer (and How to Prevent It):

    The Culprit is Guide Bronzer that hasn’t been properly rinsed: The initial dark color you see immediately after your appointment is just a temporary cosmetic dye (guide bronzer) used by the technician to see where they are spraying. We offer clear solution as an option to avoid this all together.

    The Solution is the Rinse: Once you take your first lukewarm shower, this cosmetic guide bronzer washes completely down the drain. The actual tan underneath is a clear reaction with your skin cells and cannot rub off.

    A fully developed and properly rinsed spray tan will not permanently stain your wedding dress. However, minor rub-off can happen due to sweat and friction if you do not follow the correct rinsing instructions

  • Schedule the trial 2 to 4 weeks before the wedding, ideally a couple of days before your bachelorette party, bridal shower, or makeup trial, so you have a tan for those events too and can see photographs of your tanned skin in light colored clothes.

    Our Trial and No Error Wedding Package is a great for for this timeline.

  • We recommend two days before your wedding and after you’ve done your manicure,pedicure, and waxing appointments.

  • Sure! If you’re a chill bride who has had spray tans in the past and knows how their skin will react ( and has no peeling or active sunburn going on), we will tan you.

  • All of our technicians are trained to spray the Shade and Seeker way. We also leave detailed notes for every client in their file, so anyone who tans you can replicate or adjust the tan based on the last one you had. No guesswork involved.

    Why It Matters Before Your Tan

    Monday / Tuesday
    (4–5 Days Out) Facials & Lashes: Gives your skin time to calm down. Facials use heavy oils and steam that will completely block or strip a spray tan.

    Wednesday Morning
    (3 Days Out) Waxing & Threading: Waxing removes dead skin and leaves an invisible residue. Tanning too soon after creates a patchy, uneven look.

    Wednesday Afternoon
    (3 Days Out) Manicure & Pedicure:Allows you to get the necessary scrubs, soaking, and oils out of the way. Ensure your tech skips the post-service lotions.

    Thursday Morning
    (2 Days Out)The "Reset" Shower: Your final chance to shave and heavily exfoliate. Use an exfoliating mitt to remove all oil, sweat, and old product

    Thursday Afternoon
    (2 Days Out)The Spray Tan

    This is the golden window. It gives the tan time to fully develop, allows you to rinse the guide color off, and looks best for rehearsal.

    Thursday Night 2 hours later
    A lukewarm water-only rinse to wash off the cosmetic bronzer. Your final, beautiful color will settle perfectly by Saturday morning.

    Friday Morning

    Now a soap shower- you can wash your hair, shave with hair conditioner and a new razor, no sulfates or exfoliating, pat dry, moisturize. You’re ready!

  • Preparation is the single most important factor for a flawless, streak-free wedding glow. Because spray tan solution binds directly to your dead skin cells, you must create a perfectly smooth, clean, and blank canvas for the solution to absorb evenly.

    8-24 Hours Before: The "Exfoliate & Hair Removal" Phase

    Exfoliate Heavily: Use an exfoliating mitt or washcloth. Scrub your entire body, focusing intensely on rough areas like elbows, knees, ankles, and your collarbones. Shave Thoroughly.

    Moisturize Night-Before: After this shower, apply a lightweight, basic lotion to your skin to lock in hydration overnight. This prevents your skin from being overly dry and absorbing too much tanning solution.

     

    Day of Appointment: The "Blank Canvas" Phase

    On the day of your spray tan, your goal is to have absolutely nothing sitting on top of your skin when we start spray tanning you.

    The four No's within four hours of your tan: Do not apply moisturizer, deodorant, perfume, or makeup- or make sure to remove them when you get here with our rough draft wipes, gentle makeup wipes, or baby wipes. We have you covered.

    Why it matters: Deodorant reacts chemically with spray tan solution, turning your armpits a bright, patchy green. Makeup and lotion will act as a barrier, leaving you with a pale face or splotchy patches.

    Bring Baggy, Dark Clothing: Leave the leggings, jeans, and bras at home. Wear loose-fitting pants, an oversized dark t-shirt or long sleeve shirt, and loose shoes/sandals. Tight clothing will rub the wet tan right off your skin before it can develop.

  • Yes.
