Wow, this place is just so, so pretty. All white and turquoise and flooded with natural sunlight. (Ok not my fave light to be standing butt-ass-naked in even in front of myself let alone another person, but perfect for airbrush tanning cuz you can see every last pore- and wrinkle- and hair- and what not. In other words, nary a spot-o-skin will go uncovered.) And it's cozy and personal. Not a giant factory.
The rates are very reasonable, the people are amazingly sweet, knowledgeable and most of all, skilled.
I asked for super dark as I'm already naturally Mediterranean colored. Alex who has been doing this for years did a great job – very even, thorough, no streaking,etc. And while the tan didn't turn out as deep-n-dark as I imagined, (or as is my preference) it looked VERY natural. Not even a tinge of orange. In fact, it was just a subtle bronze-glow, like I had been in the sun, maybe a week ago. Man, it's amazing how just that little of bit warmth in your skin tone makes such a huge diff. A week later and it's faded nicely. And Alex said we can def go darker next time (yay!). I'm back to my natural skin but it faded without spotting or streaking or turning a weird color. The whole look is very natural with the brown sugar based products they're using. Ah, here's the reason why:
Will I get that fake "orange" color?
No, we use the highest quality tanning solution that will give you that “kissed by the sun” look and will develop into a natural-looking tan. We use a brown-sugar based-solution so the results are 100% golden brown.
DHA and the FDA
Tanning solution's active ingredient, DHA is FDA approved for topical use . It the main ingredient in almost all over the counter self-tanning creams and sprays. It has also been approved for ingestion and inhalation. Unlike in the 1970’s when DHA was first introduced to society, you will not turn orange, or streak. Extreme improvements to the solution have been made over the past several years. The color is golden brown, because it is derived from sugar, and no longer derived from carrots.
Oh, and they customize the smell for you which is a fun yummy little perk!
I love this place!!
