Is Airbrush Tanning Safe?
Absolutely! Airbrush tanning is the fastest, safest way to have an instant bronze without the premature aging and skin damage that UV rays cause. The active ingredient in airbrush tanning solutions is DHA (dihydroxyacetone) which has been approved for use in sunless tanning by the FDA for over 30 years. DHA derived from raw sugar cane and reacts with the amino acids (proteins) in the outer layer of the skin to produce a bronze color. Our solution is a premium product to produce a natural looking color that we customize to your skin tone.

Will Airbrush Tanning Turn You Orange?
We have never turned anyone orange since our existence. Making a person orange is very symbolic of Mystic Tanning (the booth that spray you). That solution still tends to turn you orange. However, airbrush is NOT the same as the Mystic spray tan. We do carry our own line of solution which has been tested on about every skin type you can think of. The only way the color will not come out as it should would be for you to come in dirty (no shower and body has all of its natural oils on your skin) or you put a barrier lotion over your skin. You want to come in exfoliated and clear of all lotions, makeup and perfumes. As an example, when you add perfume on your skin, you then change the composition of the solution by adding the ingredients of your perfume.

Will Airbrush Tanning Stain my Clothes or Sheets?
We definitely recommend you wear dark, loose clothing to try to prevent the color guard from rubbing off on your clothes. If you do see some color rub off prior to your first shower, it should completely wash out when you wash your clothes. Do not wear spandex/lycra, wool, nylon, silk, or leather as these can all stain. 

How Long will the Airbrush Tanning Take?
It should take no longer than 10 to 15 minutes for a full body tan. Since EO Tan™ always gives 2 full body coats, it usually takes 15 minutes, which includes 5 more minutes for drying time. 

How Long will my Airbrush Tan Last?
Your airbrush tan typically will last between 7-10 days depending on your after tan skincare. The day after your tan, we recommend moisturizing daily (2 times a day for very dry skin). The BEST WAY for your tan to last the longest is by using the Microdermamitt and the Sunless Scrub in combination with each other. Click Here. We have had clients have their tan last over two weeks when using these products. Depending on how fast your skin naturally exfoliates itself also depends on how long your airbrush tan will last.

What do I Wear During my Tanning Appointment?
You may wear a dark, snug fitting swimsuit or undergarment. Some women opt to have no tan lines at all. Men may not tan nude. We do ask that men wear some type of undergarment (boxers, boxer briefs, underwear, or a sock must be worn at all times). Clients under 18 must have a legal guardian present, and may not under any circumstances tan nude. Click here for more information.

Can I Get a Sunless Airbrush Tan in Addition to Tanning In The Sun?
Absolutely. In fact, there is no SPF protection in the airbrush solution.  If you would normally tan in the sun, you will still tan with your airbrush tan. If you would normally burn, you will still burn with your airbrush tan. I always recommend wearing SPF protection with or without an airbrush tan.

Will a Sunless Airbrush Tan Affect the Color of my Nails or my Nail Polish?
The solution will not discolor nail polish. Our solution is a water base and not thick (like that of the Mystic Tan). However, we will have you apply a specialized lotion to nails and cuticles prior to a sunless airbrush application. The EO Tan™ Tantress™ will also wipe your nails down after the airbrush tan.

What Sets EO Tan™ Apart From Another Tanning Outfit?
EO Tan™ goes that extra step for every client! We separates ourselves from our competition by using the industries top HVLP spray tanning equipment. Our tanning equipment allows us to adjust the amount of spray that comes out so we can contour your tan. Contouring allows us to shade in abs, thin out your waist and thighs, and create shadowing to enhance your cleavage. 

Our sunless solution is a custom blend that gives what we feel is the best bronzed tan available on the market today. We do not charge for a double dip. A double dip in the airbrush industry is when we apply two coats of sunless solution instead of one. Most companies will charge as much as $20 additional cost to do so. We want to make sure our clients are completely covered and the tan is exactly what they desire.  

Immediately before your airbrush session, we also provide Sticky Feet, which goes on the bottom of your feet so the sunless solution will not stain the bottom of your feet. We also provide a liquid that you may use free of charge, to remove all impurities including soap scum, oil and pollution, while balancing the ph in your skin. This ensures that your tan will be beautiful, smooth, and even. All the other smaller things such as nose plugs, hair cover, baby wipes and so on is also all included in the charge of the tan. Not to stop there, EO Tan™ immediately after your tanning session, give you the VIP treatment and wipe off your palms and nails.  

We always make your time enjoyable by making your tanning experience fun and relaxing. We ensure that your experience with EO Tan™ will not be match by others in the industry. Schedule your appointment and get the VIP treatment you always deserved.

We also offer an exfoliator that nothing in the market can match. Once you use it and see first hand how much dead skin comes off with it, you will be blown away. We were blown away the first time we used it. For more information click here.

Are you Suppose to Tip?
Being that we a service, we always appreciate when someone tips. However, by no means are you required to do so.

What Does "EO" in EO Tan Stand For?
EO stands for Elevating Ordinary. The difference between ordinary and elevating ordinary is that little extra. That is exactly what EO Tan™ is all about, going that little extra to make sure our clients are beyond happy. We are all about Elevating Ordinary to Extraordinary!
