Eyelash and eyebrow tinting will usually last about 4 to 6 weeks.

Yes, neither will affect your tinting.

If you wear contact lenses to your appointment, you will have to take them out while your lashes are being tinted.

Your hair should be at least a quarter of an inch to a half inch long for waxing or sugaring. If the hair is too long, we advise trimming it back to about a half inch; sugaring hair that is too long can cause more discomfort and hair breakage.

Sugaring, an alternative to waxing, gets its name from the sticky sugaring paste used. Sugaring is much faster than waxing, and the experience more comfortable. Unlike strip or hard waxing, sugaring paste won’t adhere to live skin cells, so there is no trauma to the skin, so sugaring is more gentle and preferred for areas that tend to be more sensitive.  The hair is removed in the direction of growth, resulting in less breakage. Sugaring is great for removing unwanted hair from all areas of the body – arms, back, legs, and especially sensitive areas such as underarms and bikini/brazilian.

Sugaring/waxing lasts far longer than shaving because the hair is removed at its roots, not cut. Typically, clients schedule appointments every 3 to 6 weeks depending on the individual and the area of the body.

Avoid touching the area, as dirt and oils can cause irritation. Avoid direct heat (hot baths, tanning, etc.) the day of and day after. Excessive perspiration following sugaring or waxing can harbor bacteria that may cause breakouts, so avoid intensive exercise for a day or so. We highly recommend Finipil to prevent any skin reactions resulting from waxing or sugaring. Finipil is a noncomedogenic (meaning it doesn’t clog pores) antiseptic cream that protects against infection (in-grown hairs) while soothing and moisturizing the skin. We love it and have it available at New Skinsations.

Exfoliate and Shave. Shower the day before your tan appointment to shave and scrub any dead skin away. Exfoliating and shaving prior to a spray tan will help prolong its appearance. Shaving excessively after a spray tan may make it fade prematurely. Shave 8 hours before or wax a minimum of 24 hours before your tanning appointment.

Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing and undergarments. The tan will take a few minutes to dry immediately after and you will want to wear loose-fitting clothing so that you minimize rubbing. The tanning solution may have a cosmetic bronzer in it, so you may want to wear dark clothing in case the bronzer rubs off onto clothing. It will wash out of most fabrics but may stain nylons, lycra, and silks.

Remove or avoid wearing makeup and moisturizer as this acts as a barrier to the spray and stops the process from working properly. If you forget or don’t have time to remove your makeup, you can always do so after you arrive for your appointment.

It is recommended that you wait at least 8 to 12 hours before you shower after a spray tan. During this time, avoid getting wet in any way, including your hands to prevent uneven coverage. Avoid exercising until after your shower because friction and sweat can affect the development of your tan. When you shower, do not be alarmed if you see color washing off, the color you see is not your tan washing off, but only the cosmetic bronzer. Bronzer is used so that you can see where the tan solution has been applied. It washes right off at the time of your first shower, leaving your skin with your golden tan.

DHA is the key ingredient in any spray tanning solution. However, all DHA formulas are not created equal.  In fact, it's not even close...

What You Should Know About DHA—What To Look For… And Watch Out For:

DHA is non-toxic and is the active ingredient shared by all spray tanning solutions. It’s a totally natural, completely safe substance derived from plant sources such as sugar beets and sugar cane. When DHA and other complementary ingredients are applied to the body, they naturally respond to the amino acids in the outer layer of the skin and change its color to a tan tone that looks great. The tan generally lasts for 7 to 10 days depending on the skin type, additives, and other factors.

But the tanning solution itself isn’t guaranteed to give you a great tan just because it contains DHA. Most brands of solutions are available in just one color... just ONE!  Because they have only one color, they have to compensate for clients who want darker tans by simply globbing more tanning solution on them or they use solutions that contain ridiculous amounts of DHA in order to FORCE color. This leads to a host of problems, ranging from the customer feeling like they’re wearing a layer of sticky, dried soda, to unnatural colors, for example, when the spray tan result looks orange or "brassy".  These undesirable results can often be attributed to all the extra DHA.  Also, other tanning solution companies think that simply putting a higher concentration of DHA in their formulas is a good thing. Some companies even brag about concentrations as high as 10, 15, and even 20% DHA. Well, all this DHA may make you look more tan, but it definitely comes with a price. Higher concentrations of DHA will dry out the skin, leaving dry patches with a “lizardy” look and feel—not good.

The solutions that we use are all designed to complement your natural skin tones, and the 5 different colors offered can be mixed as needed, which allows us to create an exact, perfect mix for any given client when we need to. These formulas use reasonable levels of DHA (never exceeding 10% DHA) for optimal results. To achieve the darker skin tones in our darker formulas, the level of DHA is mixed with other tanning agents to create the desired effect. When we first apply our tanning solution, the immediate resulting color is from the cosmetic bronzers in the formula, NOT from the DHA—which naturally takes about 8 to 12 hours to fully activate.   Also, the solutions that we use are formulas that do not dehydrate the skin, are smooth to the touch, and absorb faster on the skin because of the smaller particle size produced by our superior sprayers. Lastly, there is never a need to “glob” on an excess of the solution; this is not required to attain the desired darkness level of color. Applying more of the solution doesn’t help a tan look better any more than using an entire bottle of shampoo on your hair at one time will make your hair any cleaner.   

All-in-all, solution quality plays a key role in producing a really good-looking spray tan!  When these superior spray tan formulas are paired with our exceptional airbrush equipment and trained professionals, the results are outstanding!

Our spray tans usually last about 7 to 10 days.  Follow the spray tan care instructions to help prolong the wear of your tan.  Also, ask us about our Tan Extender lotion.
