For events we suggest 2-3 days prior to an event. For vacation tans. 1-2 days prior
Yes, you can with our rapid solution. However keep in mind that the final results of a rapid tan takes 8 plus hours to fully develop, but you will have some color for a same day event.
Absolutely! A spray tan is the base of your entire overall look. Book your trial a minimum of 4 weeks prior to your event to ensure we have the right tone and color combination for your event/shoot/wedding. Don’t worry we keep track of your formula in our system and can happily make any tweaks or changes so you are 100% happy.
Yes! The most important thing to remember is that the solution does not contain any UV protection/sunscreen. Therefore sunscreen is still needed. You will still be able to develop a tan naturally in the sun.
-You must follow the instructions given to you in regards to when you can shower. Glow &Go tans should not be kept on more that 3-4 hours before the initial shower.
-You cannot get wet, workout or shower while the tan is developing
-The Glow & Go is just a rinse at the time of the first shower – No soap can be used as it will neutralized the tan and prevent it from working. Soap and shampoo during the first rinse can also cause streakiness or unevenness.
-During the first rinse, you will see the cosmetic bronzer rinsing off in the shower, this is normal. The tan will still be developing with the Glow & Go for an additional 8 hours. The Custom Airbrush will be fully developed after the first shower.
-Moisturize your skin after the first rinse and continue to do so after each shower. We recommend using our Tan Extending lotion to extend the life of the tan. Tans will typically last 7 days. Using a tan extender will extend the tan an additional 7-10 days.
-Hydrate your skin! Hydrated skin is happy glowing skin…Your tan and body will thank you!

You can wear as little or as much as you would like. We do provide disposable thong underwear for women. Men are required to wear underwear. Please note that whatever you decide to wear for the tan, you will develop tan lines. We can not move around undergarments once we have started.

DHA is FDA approved and only penetrates the outermost layer of the skin. It’s deemed 100 percent safe for those expecting. However you should always consult your Doctor for specific concerns.
No! Absolutely not! The outcome will be awful. GLOW reserves the right to decline service to anyone who has a sunburn or peeling skin at the time of service. We will not spray tan skin that is sunburnt.
Yes, that is fine.
Absolutely! Our solutions are as natural as you can get. However, if you would like, you can come in for a test patch area to see if there’s any reaction.
On the day of your appointment you will have a conversation with your spray tan artist to go over what you are looking for, what type of event you are spraying for. We can help guide you to the most appropriate shade for your event. All of our solutions are custom blended.
Cosmetic bronzers in most spray tans can make spots darker. To avoid this, we have a Clear solution that contains no cosmetic bronzer and therefore does not make dark spots darker. You just develop a beautiful natural tan. Clear is a great option for brides and clients who wear a lot of white. Also for clients who workout a lot. Ask us about it!
We have a wide array of spray tan approved products in our studios for you. However if you want to use your own, you will want to avoid, harsh bar soaps, DOVE products of all kind, products contain sulfates and mineral oils as well as petroleum products.These will all contribute to your tan fading more quickly. Avoid long hot baths, and exposure to chlorinated water. Glycolic or Salicylic acid, Retin- A and retinol will fade your tan more quickly as well. You can also develop patchiness.
No spray tans are water based and therefore, widely non- pore clogging.
it takes only a few minutes to apply the tan but expect to be here for 15 mins.
Your tan can last between 7-12 days depending on how well you maintain your skin post tan. Using GLOW after care products will help prolong the tan for up to an additional 5 days and give you an even fade. We also have tan extenders that will help extend the tan.
Please wait at least 10 hours and you should rinse prior to working out.
The DHA in all sunless solutions react to the amino acids in your skin and create a bronzed effect. As your skin natural sheds, the tan will start to fade. Some areas of the body will exfoliate off quicker than others, therefore some areas may start to look patchy or speckled. This has no correlation with the airbrush technician or the solution. If you notice this, you can gently exfoliate the affected areas with our exfoliating mitt or a wash cloth. This tends to be a little more noticeable when you go significantly darker than your natural skin tone.
