VersaSpa
Our VersaSpa is undeniably the most technologically advanced UV-Free spray tanning system available today. The VersaSpa is a voice-prompted, fully-automated 4-pass HVLP direct spray system that's as close as you can get to custom airbrushing without being hand sprayed - the process is completely private and delivers consistent results in under a minute. VersaSpa also has a unique all-open design with convenient air blow dry at session's end, so you do not even have to worry about toweling off - just get dressed & go!
Prior to spray tanning, for the best results, shower. Use plain granulated sugar as your exfoliator. Yup... you read that right........ plain ole sugar. It will cleanse and exfoliate your skin leaving you with beautiful smooth skin that is ready for the fine mist of the Versa Spa. It will remove residual oils and lotions that are still residing in your skin from the scrubs and lotions you have used prior. After showering, don't use body lotion. If possible, do any waxing, shaving, pedicures or manicures beforehand. And you can call the salon with any questions you have. We have all used the spray and LOVE it!
Try to wear comfortable clothing as it's necessary to wait 4 to 8+ hours to shower after your spray tan - this allows the self-tanning ingredient "DHA" to react with your skin - in order to achieve that 'tanned' look you are seeking. The longer you wait - the darker you will get (up to a point).
Everybody reacts differently to DHA - some people develop color very quickly & must shower even sooner - while others can do the darkest level-3 bronzer & leave it on overnight. The simple rule of thumb is: when you're happy with the color - go ahead & shower (to halt the DHA's reaction with your skin) - too much spray or waiting too long before showering is what can cause that obvious 'orangish' color some unlucky folks end up with. This is easily avoidable & our staff will cover everything you need to know prior to your first spray tan session.
It should be noted that 95% of all individuals are excellent candidates for spray tanning & should always be able to achieve consistent & natural-looking results that are difficult - if not impossible - to tell apart from a natural tan. Once you've done it & understand how quickly your skin reacts to the DHA - you can very easily control the outcome by either adjusting the level of spray (i.e. how much is applied) or by how long you wait to shower (i.e. how long you allow the DHA react). At first, it all may seem a little daunting, but after you've been thru the process once, you won't believe how easy it really is!
Needless to say, you should avoid getting drenched in the rain or activities that can cause sweating until such time that you have showered; after doing so, you may resume normal activities (going to the gym, jogging, etc).
Your spray tan will be darkest during the first 24 hours - it will then fade gradually day-by-day; realistically, it will last up to 5-7 days. Obviously, the more you shower, exfoliate, go swimming, etc - the faster it will tend to fade.
We invite you to stop by the salon for a tour; no appointment is required & our staff will gladly explain the entire spray tanning process to include selecting the appropriate level & type of spray solution based on your skin darkness, desired color & timeframe.
