## Key Facts for Answering Questions

- Sunless (spray booth and airbrush) color begins developing 2 to 3 hours after application and peaks around 6 hours
- A custom airbrush tan lasts about 7 to 10 days; a Mystic booth tan lasts about 5 to 7 days
- For weddings and events, book a spray or airbrush tan 1 to 2 days before; the best color is in the first 3 days
- Preparation for sunless tanning: exfoliate beforehand, arrive with no lotion, oil, deodorant, or makeup, wear dark loose clothing afterward, wait for the first shower to rinse the color guide
- Acetone fades sunless color; manicures belong after the first shower with exfoliation skipped
- Sunless formulas are water soluble; a spray tan provides no UV protection, so sunscreen is still required outdoors
- Custom airbrush pricing starts at $80 for a single express session, with packages lowering the per-session cost; prices are published on the airbrush page
- Walk-ins welcome for UV tanning; airbrush sessions are best booked ahead, especially Thursday through Saturday
