Plus, we carry Aviva’s moisturizing skincare product line to extend your tan and keep your skin radiant and youthful.

What to expect with your airbrush spray tan

  • The main difference between a rapid spray tan and an original spray tan is the processing time before rinsing.

    • Original Spray Tan: Typically requires a processing time of 6-8 hours before rinsing. This means you need to wait several hours before showering to allow the tan to develop fully.

    • Rapid Spray Tan: Offers a shorter processing time, usually between 1-4 hours before rinsing. This allows for a quicker development of the tan, making it more convenient for those who don't want to wait long before showering.

    Both types of spray tans achieve a similar result in terms of colour and coverage, but the rapid option provides the flexibility of a shorter processing time.

  • Both our Original and Rapid Spray Tans provide beautiful, long-lasting results. The Original Spray Tan typically lasts a bit longer, up to 7-10 days, because it has a longer processing time (6-8 hours), which allows the tan to develop more deeply. However, our Rapid Spray Tan, which processes in just 1-4 hours, can also last up to 5-7 days with proper care. Choose based on your schedule and convenience—either way, you'll get a gorgeous, enduring glow with our premium organic solutions.

  • Choosing the right spray tan colour depends on your natural skin tone and the look you want to achieve. At Solid Gold Airbrush Tans, we use Aviva Labs' premium organic, natural-looking solutions to ensure a perfect match. For a subtle glow, opt for a lighter shade. For a deeper, sun-kissed look, go for a medium or dark shade. Our expert technicians are here to help you find the perfect colour!

  • Yes, our spray tans are designed to look natural on any skin tone. At Solid Gold Airbrush Tans, we use Aviva Labs' high-quality solutions, which come in a range of shades. Our expert technicians tailor each tan to your specific skin tone and type, ensuring a flawless, sun-kissed glow that enhances your natural beauty. You can trust us to provide a tan that looks perfectly natural and complements your unique complexion.

  • Your spray tan will typically last between 5 to 10 days, depending on your skin type and how well you care for it. At Solid Gold Airbrush Tans, our expert technicians ensure an even application, giving you a flawless and natural look. To extend the life of your tan and maintain its evenness, follow our expert prep and post-care tips, such as moisturizing daily and avoiding long hot showers. Our high-quality Aviva Labs solutions are designed to provide a long-lasting, beautiful glow that fades evenly.

  • Spray tans work by applying a fine mist of tanning solution to your skin. The active ingredient, DHA (dihydroxyacetone), reacts with the amino acids in the top layer of your skin, producing a natural-looking tan. At Solid Gold Airbrush Tans, we use Aviva Labs' high-quality, organic solutions to ensure a safe and even application. The colour develops over a few hours, leaving you with a beautiful, sun-kissed glow without harmful UV exposure.

  • Yes, spray tans and their ingredients are safe for your skin! At Solid Gold Airbrush Tans, we use Aviva Labs' high-quality, organic solutions, which are FDA-approved and designed to be gentle on the skin. Our products contain DHA, a natural ingredient that interacts with the top layer of your skin to create a beautiful tan without harmful UV exposure. These solutions are free from harmful chemicals such as parabens, oils, and fragrances, making them hypoallergenic and safe for your skin. If you have any specific skin concerns, our expert technicians are here to help!

  • At Solid Gold Airbrush Tans, we pride ourselves on being a body-positive establishment, and your comfort is our top priority. The spray tan process is straightforward and designed to make you feel at ease. Our experienced and friendly technicians will guide you through every step, ensuring a comfortable and respectful experience.

    When you arrive, we’ll have a brief consultation to discuss your desired tan shade and answer any questions you might have. You’ll then change into whatever makes you feel comfortable—many clients opt for a swimsuit, undergarments, or nothing at all. We provide disposable undergarments if needed.

    During the application, you’ll stand in our private spray tanning area while our technician applies the tan using a fine mist. The process is quick, typically taking about 15-20 minutes, including drying time. Our technicians are professional and discreet, focusing on making you feel confident and relaxed.

    We are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone can enjoy the benefits of a beautiful, sun-kissed glow. If you have any concerns or need special accommodations, please let us know—we’re here to help!

  • No, a spray tan shouldn't permanently stain your clothes or sheets. However, it's best to wear dark, loose-fitting clothing and avoid tight fabrics right after your appointment. If there is any initial transfer, it usually washes out easily. To minimize any transfer, wait until your tan is fully dry before getting dressed and follow our aftercare tips.

  • No, a spray tan won't ruin or stain your nails! At Solid Gold Airbrush Tans, we take extra care to protect your manicure. We apply a barrier cream to your nails before the tanning process to prevent any discolouration. Whether you have a fresh manicure or a natural look, your nails will stay pristine and beautiful.

  • Yes, you can get a spray tan with tattoos! Spray tans are safe for tattoos and won't damage or fade them. In fact, a spray tan can enhance the overall appearance of your skin, making your tattoos look even more vibrant. Our expert technicians at Solid Gold Airbrush Tans ensure a flawless application that complements your tattoos beautifully.

  • Yes, you can get a spray tan with lash extensions! Our spray tanning solutions are gentle and won't affect your lash extensions. To ensure the best results, we recommend keeping your lashes dry during the initial application and development period. Our expert technicians at Solid Gold Airbrush Tans take extra care to protect your lash extensions while giving you a beautiful, even tan.

  • Yes, a spray tan can help minimize the appearance of stretch marks. While it won't completely cover them, the tan can create a more even skin tone, making stretch marks less noticeable. At Solid Gold Airbrush Tans, our expert technicians use high-quality organic Aviva Labs solutions to ensure a smooth and natural-looking finish that enhances your overall appearance.

  • No, a spray tan won't make your acne worse. At Solid Gold Airbrush Tans, we use high-quality, non-comedogenic solutions from Aviva Labs, designed to be gentle on your skin. Aviva Labs' products are free from oils, parabens, and fragrances, reducing the risk of irritation or breakouts. Their hypoallergenic and organic formulas ensure that even sensitive or acne-prone skin can achieve a beautiful, even tan without aggravating existing skin conditions. Our expert technicians ensure a smooth application that enhances your glow without compromising your skin's health.

  • No, our spray tans won't make you orange! At Solid Gold Airbrush Tans, we use Aviva Labs' high-quality organic solutions, specially formulated to provide a natural-looking, sun-kissed glow. Our expert technicians customize the colour to match your skin tone, ensuring a beautiful and even tan without any orange tint.

  • No, a spray tan does not provide any protection against sunburn. While it gives your skin a beautiful, sun-kissed glow, it doesn't offer any UV protection. Always apply sunscreen with SPF when spending time outdoors to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

  • Yes, you can spray tan while pregnant! At Solid Gold Airbrush Tans, we use high-quality, organic solutions from Aviva Labs that are designed to be safe and gentle on the skin. However, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before your appointment to ensure it’s the right choice for you. Our experienced technicians take extra care to provide a comfortable and safe tanning experience, so you can enjoy a beautiful, natural-looking glow during your pregnancy.

  • I highly recommend Rhiana for all your tanning needs! I had never had a airbrush tan before, and as a breastfeeding mom and bride to be, she made the whole experience comfortable and easy to understand. For both my trial and wedding day, I had the perfect glow that lasted a week or more and faded evenly. She is very personable and knowledgeable and I look forward to using her tanning services again for future events. Thank you again! :)

    Joanne V.

  • I have been going to Rhiana for my tans for nearly two years and I have always been very pleased with the results. I always receive compliments about my tan and many of my friends have asked me for Rhiana’s contact. She always makes me feel comfortable at her studio and takes her time when applying the spray. Rhiana is someone who wants her clients to be satisfied and so she checks to make sure that I am happy with the results before I have left the studio. The tan will last for at least 10 days and the colour on my skin is absolutely gorgeous. I feel like I’m glowing and I walk out of there feeling great every time!

    Leana A.
