🛁 Exfoliate Like a Pro!

24-48 hours before your tan, exfoliate! This removes dead skin and gives us a fresh, smooth canvas for the best results. Use an exfoliating mitt and scrub, but if your scrub contains oils, make sure you exfoliate 48 hours before your tan, not the night before. Stay away from Tree Hut Body Scrub it will make your tan streaky if used before a tan.

✔️ Moisturize after exfoliating to keep your skin hydrated and happy!


💅 Plan Your Beauty Treatments Ahead!

Got waxing, facials, pedicures, or manicures? Schedule them at least 24 hours before your tan. If you get them on the same day, DO NOT apply lotion after!

🚨 Applied lotion before your tan? No worries! We have a special mitt to remove it right before your session for $7.


💆‍♀️ Massages? Do Them in Advance!

Massage before a tan? Yes—but do it at least 48 hours ahead of time! Oils left on the skin can create streaks and interfere with your glow. And after your tan? Massages are a no-go—they’ll ruin your fresh bronzed look.


🚿 Use a Spray Tan-Safe Body Wash!

Not all body washes are created equal! 🧴 Some will strip your tan and leave it uneven. Dove, Bath & Body Works, Dial, and Irish Spring? BIG NO! 🚫

✅ Stick to Hempz, Potted Plant, Raw Sugar, Glo Bars, or Shea Moisture for the best results. Need a tan-safe body wash? We’ve got you covered! Pick one up in the salon or ask about local delivery!


🪒 Shave & Exfoliate 24 Hours Before!

Shave any unwanted hair and exfoliate at least 24 hours before your tan. Avoid showering right before your appointment—it's not ideal for the best results.

🚨 Need to shower within 4 hours of your tan? Rinse with cool water at the end and let us know—we have a special mitt ($7) to prep your skin before your session! Do NOT use an Exfoliating Body Scrub of any kind on the day of your tan. ESPECIALLY TREE HUT!


🚫 Keep It Clean Before Your Appointment!

Arrive free of deodorant, perfume, lotion, oils, and makeup—these act as a barrier and can affect how your tan develops.

💡 Coming straight from work? No worries! You don’t have to go all day without makeup or deodorant. We have wipes on hand so you can freshen up right before your session. Please don’t skip these items during the day—just make sure to wipe them off before your tan for the best results!

🚨 Avoid using topical acne meds on your face 48 hours before your tan to ensure the most even glow.


👗 Dress for Success! (And By That, We Mean Loose Clothes!)

After your tan, wear dark, loose clothing and open-toed sandals. 🚫 Avoid tight jeans, leggings, or yoga pants—they can rub against your fresh tan and mess with your results.


☀️ Sunburn? We Can’t Spray You!

If you have a fresh sunburn or peeling skin, we CANNOT spray you—it will only make it look worse. Let your skin heal first, then book your glow session! We do sell an amazing burn gel & offer Hydration Treatments ask us about it.


👙 What Do I Wear During My Tan?

Ladies—you choose! You can go nude, topless, wear a bikini, or undergarments—whatever makes you feel comfortable. Just remember: tan lines will match whatever you wear!

👨‍🦰 Men must wear undergarments—no exceptions.


🔥 Warning: Spray Tans Are Highly Addictive!

Once you see your flawless, glowing skin, you’ll never go back! Don’t say we didn’t warn you. 😉
