When you arrive at the salon you will be asked to fill out a form which will ask you simple questions relevant to spray tanning, such as "Have you exfoliated in the last 24 hours?", "Have you any make-up on?", "Do you have any respiratory problems ?" (this question is asked because while tanning it can be smelly, and you will inhale a little of the tan, although it will not do you any harm as long as you are healthy). Asthmatics should be aware.
All tanning rooms are different but they all have one thing in common : an airbrush system which is the equipment the therapist will use to apply the tan.
Your therapist will normally instruct you on what clothing to remove, normally she will ask you to remove everything except your underpants. This is a personal choice but if you would rather keep your bra on, tell her, or if you would rather have an all-over tan, ask her if she minds you removing your pants. You may be given disposable flip flops to protect the soles of your feet from colouring or Vaseline may be applied.
You will stand in front of your therapist and she will simply spray you all over with tan. This should only take 5-10 minutes, during which it is a pleasant sensation and you will feel very refreshed. After spraying is finished, you will be asked to stand for a few minutes to dry before dressing.
