Services
Tanning Beds
Our Ergoline tanning beds deliver deep, natural-looking tans through advanced UV technology. The Advantage 400, Passion 40/3, and Flair 32 models offer customized sessions with cooling systems and ergonomic designs. Smart Tan certified technicians help determine optimal exposure times based on skin type for safe, effective results.
Spray Tans
The Mystic HD booth provides streak-free, natural-looking tans using MagneTan technology. Choose from four shades and customize with accelerators, bronzers, and scents. Sessions take 90 seconds, with results developing in 2-3 hours and lasting 5-10 days when properly maintained.
Hydration Station
This 20-minute hydrotherapy session combines infrared light, steam, and vibration to infuse vitamins into skin. It enhances tanning results while improving skin texture, reducing cellulite, and detoxifying the lymphatic system. The treatment can burn up to 500 calories and brightens skin for better tan absorption.
Skin Care
We offer Old Soul Soap Company's all-natural, cruelty-free skincare line. Products include activated charcoal face bars, Himalayan salt soaks, and muscle rubs formulated to complement tanning. Their ingredients nourish skin while extending tan longevity and improving overall skin health.
Sunless Tanning
Our sunless options use dihydroxyacetone (DHA) derived from sugar beets and cane. The formula reacts with skin proteins for a natural bronze glow. Clients receive pre-tan preparation guidance and post-tan care instructions to maximize results while maintaining skin health and hydration.
Questions
How does the Mystic HD spray tan work?
The Mystic HD uses MagneTan technology to apply DHA solution evenly, ensuring streak-free results. The 90-second session develops into a natural bronze glow over 2-3 hours, lasting 5-10 days with proper care.
Is indoor tanning safe?
When done responsibly, indoor tanning can be safe. Our Smart Tan certified staff determines appropriate exposure times based on skin type. We follow strict safety protocols including mandatory eye protection and 24-hour session spacing.
What benefits does the Hydration Station provide?
The Cocoon Pod hydrates skin, enhances tan results, and detoxifies the lymphatic system. It improves circulation, reduces cellulite appearance, and can burn up to 500 calories during a 20-minute session.
Can I tan if I have Skin Type 1?
We do not allow tanning for Skin Type 1 individuals who never tan and always burn. Our staff will assess your skin type during consultation to determine appropriate services and safety measures.
How should I prepare for a spray tan?
Exfoliate and moisturize the day before. Avoid makeup, perfumes, and lotions on the day of your appointment. Shave at least 12 hours prior to prevent skin sensitivity reactions during the tanning process.
