Frequently Asked Questions
have questions about spray tanning? we are here to help!
The only difference between our in-studio and mobile tans is the location! If you select an in-studio tan with us, your appointment will take place at our studio space off of 66th and Frankford. If you choose a mobile appointment instead, we will bring the spray tan to you and tan you in the comfort of your home! Our mobile artists come fully equipped with a tent, fan, machine, and more for a wonderful and convenient mobile tan experience.
Orange is not a color option at Glow + Go! All of our solution is violet-based giving a natural looking tan to all skin-tones. Our artists are certified and consistently trained to give the perfect spray tan every time!
You can wear whatever you are most comfortable in! You can go fully nude, wear underwear, or wear underwear and a strapless bra/swimsuit.
We recommend that you avoid wearing a bra/swimsuit top with straps (even if you pull the straps down) if you choose to wear one because the straps usually get in the way and cause uneven spray around your chest area. 95% of our clients either go fully nude or wear underwear only. Don't worry it won't be awkward! We do this all day, every day, and know that everybody is beautiful!
If you are a male client considering a spray tan with us, we do require all male clients to wear covering during your spray tan. This can be underwear, shorts, or a swimsuit.
We do not provide any disposable undergarments so please come prepared with what you would like to wear during your spray tan if you choose to wear any undergarments.
Please shower, shave, and exfoliate 24-48 hours before your tan for best results. Do not use moisturizer the day of your appointment. Remove all makeup and deodorant prior to your appointment.
Bring or wear loose clothes and open-toed shoes to your spray tan appointment. We recommend joggers and a loose-fitting t-shirt, crewneck, or hoodie!
Wait the appropriate time provided by your artist before showering. Wear loose clothes and avoid wearing a bra for at least an hour after your appointment. During your first shower, rinse with warm water only for 5-6 minutes. It is ideal to wait until 24 hours after your spray tan application to take a full soap shower.
Our #1 tip: Be sure to moisturize! Moisturizing with the correct spray tan safe lotion can help your tan last as long as possible!
We do spray tan male clients! For the safety of our artists, our male clients must have a current client referral or get their spray tan with a female partner (wife, girlfriend, etc.) to book an appointment with us. Men must wear underwear during any appointment with Glow + Go.
We recommend the following booking times based on your tan selection:
- Classic tan book 48 hours prior to your event
- Express Tan book 12-24 hours prior to your event
You can book our express tan up to 1 hour prior to your event for a light glow. Please note that you need to wait at least one hour after the express tan application to shower.
During your spray tan appointment, our artists will conduct a custom consultation with you to determine the best shade for you! Our spray tan shades range from light- ultra dark.
With proper pre and post tan care your spray tan can last between 7-11 days! If you would like your tan to last longer for a special event or vacation, speak with your artist at your appointment about our tan extender!
At our studio, we accept cash, Venmo, and all major credit cards. If you book a mobile appointment with us please note that we can only accept cash, Venmo, or the credit card on file for all mobile appointments.
All credit card transactions do include a $2 credit card processing fee.
