spray tan tips

    • Exfoliate, shave, or wax at least 24 hours before your appointment

    • Schedule pedicures and large area waxes at least 24+ hours before your tan Schedule lash lifts for at least 24 hours before or after tan appointment

    • Brow lamination should be 48 hrs before or after your tan

    • Avoid Retinol/Retin-A on face, neck, chest for 2-7 days before your appointment, depending on the strength of your product

    • Please reschedule appointment if you are actively sunburned and peeling

    • Shower with water only the day of your tan - skip bar soap and body wash

    • No body lotion on tan day; light face lotion is OK (no sunscreen)

    • Wear or bring loose, dark clothing

    • If it’s raining, cover up fully (feet too!) and bring an umbrella

    • Let us know if you're sweating on arrival— we’ll provide you with materials to dry off before tan Have tinted brows? Let us know—we’ll protect them during your tan

    • Nursing? Bring a strapless, back-clasping bra. Or, we provide sticker pasties

    • Rapid tans and long sleeves post-tan are recommended

    • Choose your tan lines: go nude, wear your own underwear/swimsuit, or use our disposable thong

    • Keep skin dry until your designated rinse time—avoid splashing water when washing hands

    • At designated time, rinse with lukewarm water only; hot water can fade your tan

    • After rinsing, use clean, tan-safe body wash (we carry them)

    • Moisturize 1–2x daily with tan-safe lotion (also available here). For express tans, wait until after your second shower to use lotion

    • Pat skin dry with towel after showering

    • Stay hydrated—water helps maintain skin and tan longevity

Get your glow on the go.

To make a mobile tan appointment, fill form out below.

Here’s how it works:

  • Mobile tanning appointment pricing is $135+ within a 5 mile radius from the Lincoln Park, Wicker Park and Crystal Lake suburbs. For destinations beyond 5 miles an hourly rate will be charged. Appointments after hours will incur an additional cost. Costs may vary by spray tan artist. All travel fees and gratuities are included in the service price and confirmed before the appointment - no hidden or surprise fees: the price is what it is!

  • We’ll approve your request and assign you an appointment window. You’ll be notified with a confirmation e-mail, as well as a request for a credit card to hold the appointment.

  • Spray tan artist will arrive at decided location at your appointment time to set up the equipment wherever your heart desires.

  • We’ll bring all solution options, so no need to worry about deciding ahead of time.

  • Creating a group mobile appointment is welcomed and encouraged! Do you have a neighbor, roommate, friend, or colleague who wants to join in on the bronze bliss? When you add additional friends to tan, it discounts the price and you all get a better deal!

And just like that, you’ll be a beautifully, bronzed human from the comfort of your own home (or hotel!)
