Hand-applied, not a booth
Every tan here is airbrushed by hand by a trained technician, which is why the colour follows your body instead of coating it: contour on the abs and collarbone, lighter passes on knees, elbows, ankles and knuckles, and a solution shade blended to your undertone rather than one machine setting for everybody. No UV, no orange, no booth timer.
Development takes 8–10 hours; sleep in loose dark clothing, skip the shower until morning, and the tan holds seven to ten days with a gentle, oil-free moisturizer.
Weddings, proms and shoreline events
We tan bridal parties, prom groups and bodybuilding competitors on the shoreline year-round. Book the tan two days before the event — never the morning of — and exfoliate the day before with an oil-free scrub. For groups of three or more, use the spa party request form and we'll block the room and the tech for you.
