Question 1

What is a contactless spray tan booth?

Accepted Answer

We use state of the art VersaSpa spray tan booths that provide a custom spray tanning experience in your own private room. Once you've stepped into the booth, it will sense your height and guide you into 4 different positions with 3 spray nozzles for full-body coverage. The open booth is comfortably heated even in winter you'll stay warm. Our booths self-clean between every session so you always step into a fresh, clean environment.

Question 2

How do I select my tan?

Accepted Answer

Our booths have 3 colour options with 3 colour depths. In our tanning rooms you'll find a tan menu so you can customise your experience to suit your skin tone and desired result. If you're unsure which colour is right for you, feel free to contact us and we'll help recommend an option!

Question 3

How long do I leave my tan on before showering?

Accepted Answer

We recommend leaving your tan on for 6–8 hours. For a darker result you can sleep in it just wash your hands and face with a gentle cleanser 30 minutes after your session. We also offer a 2-hour rapid clear solution that develops into a deep sunkissed glow and needs to be washed off after 2–3 hours max.

Question 4

How do spray tans work?

Accepted Answer

When your sunless tan is applied, Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) reacts with proteins in the skin to form a golden-brown colour. After 2–3 hours your skin darkens and reaches peak colour within 24 hours. Your tan will gradually fade due to natural exfoliation over 5–7 days.

Question 5

How long does a spray tan last?

Accepted Answer

With proper preparation and aftercare, your tan can last up to 7 days. To extend the life of your tan, moisturise daily, avoid long baths and chlorine, and use a tan-safe body wash. Exfoliating before your next session ensures an even fade and better base for your next tan.

Question 6

Is it private?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. You have your own private tanning room with no staff involvement whatsoever. The booth guides you through your entire session with voice and visual instructions. The booth self-cleans between every session, so you always walk into a fresh, private space.

Question 7

Is the tanning solution safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our solutions are completely safe. They are non-toxic, paraben-free, cruelty-free, and 100% vegan. The active ingredient is DHA (Dihydroxyacetone), a naturally derived compound that is well-established and widely used in cosmetics. It does not penetrate the skin barrier and contains no harmful chemicals.

Question 8

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing to your appointment to avoid any potential transfer from the bronzer in the solution. On the day of your tan, please arrive without deodorant, perfume, makeup or moisturiser these can create a barrier that affects how evenly your tan develops.

Question 9

Do I need to book in advance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all sessions at Tanned Co are pre-booked. You can book via our app or online through our website. This ensures your private room is ready for you when you arrive no waiting, no queues.

Question 10

Can men get a spray tan?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Tanned Co welcomes all genders and body types. Our automated booths are completely private and designed to make everyone feel comfortable and confident. Spray tanning is for everyone.

Question 11

Is it worth it compared to a manual spray tan?

Accepted Answer

A manual spray tan at a salon typically costs $50–80 and involves another person applying the tan by hand. At Tanned Co, you get consistent, streak-free results from our VersaSpa Pro booths for as little as $35 per session in complete privacy, with no awkward interactions. The automated booth ensures even, full-body coverage every single time.

Question 12

What if I don't like the colour?

Accepted Answer

We offer 3 signature colours (Rapid Venetian, Malibu, and Monterey) each available in 3 depths that's 9 shade combinations. If you're new, we recommend starting with a light or medium depth. Your tan fades naturally over 7–10 days, so there's no long-term commitment. Check our shade guide on the How It Works page to find your perfect match.

Question 13

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Accepted Answer

Our tanning solutions are vegan, paraben-free, cruelty-free, and non-toxic. They're suitable for most skin types. If you have very sensitive skin or known allergies, we recommend doing a small patch test on your inner arm first. The DHA (active tanning ingredient) in our solutions is the same FDA-approved ingredient used across the professional spray tan industry.

Question 14

Can I get a spray tan while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Many of our clients tan throughout pregnancy. Our solutions are non-toxic, vegan, and applied without any UV exposure. However, we always recommend checking with your doctor or midwife first, especially during the first trimester.

Question 15

How does this compare to a sunbed?

Accepted Answer

Unlike sunbeds, spray tanning involves zero UV exposure meaning no risk of sunburn, premature ageing, or skin damage. Dermatologists widely recommend spray tans as the safe alternative to UV tanning. You get the same golden glow without any of the health risks.

Question 16

Do you offer any guarantee?

Accepted Answer
