Frequently asked questions

What is airbrush tanning?

Airbrush tanning is a custom sunless tan applied by hand by a trained technician using a compressor and airbrush. The technician adjusts the color blend, contouring and application to your skin tone, body shape and tan goals, and blends carefully around hands, feet, elbows and knees. A session usually takes 15–30 minutes including drying time.

Do I need an appointment for an airbrush tan?

Walk-ins are welcome when a technician is available, so please call the salon first to check. Airbrush tanning is technician-applied and is separate from the VersaSpa Pro booth, so it is not part of the Pepper Club Spray tier. Have a group of three or more? Ask about our special group rates — we will travel to you.

How much does an airbrush tan cost?

A full-body airbrush session is $49, a Performance Revved session is $95, and a package of three sessions is $130. Partial sessions are $15 for the face, $12 for arms, $15 for legs and $10 for the stomach. Rapid solution, moisturizer or setting spray can be added for $5 each. For a custom airbrush tan, ask the salon.

What is the difference between the Standard and Rapid airbrush solutions?

Standard solution develops over 8–24 hours — wait at least 8 hours before showering — and deepens gradually to its peak at 24 hours, in varieties such as Venetian, Dark and Double Dark. Rapid solution develops in 1–4 hours: rinse after 1 hour for a light tan, 2 hours for medium or 3–4 hours for dark. Both last about 5–7 days with proper care.

How should I prepare for an airbrush session?

Shower, shave and exfoliate before you arrive, using a body scrub or luffa and avoiding sulfate (salt) scrubs and body washes. Do not apply makeup, perfume, deodorant or lotion beforehand. Wear loose-fitting clothing so the solution does not rub off, and remove all jewelry to prevent unwanted tan lines. Afterward, wait 6–8 hours before showering, use sulfate-free body wash and moisturize daily.
