Spray Tan Services
Beach Bum Tanning Salon offers professional spray tan services designed to deliver an immediate, natural-looking glow tailored to your skin tone and needs. Located at 502 King Street in Ogdensburg, NY, our spray tanning service is an ideal option for clients preparing for events, photoshoots, vacations, or anyone preferring a UV-free approach to tanning. Our trained technicians use professional-grade solutions and techniques to create even, streak-free results with an emphasis on color customization and longevity.
Why spray tanning matters
Spray tanning matters because it gives instant, tailored color without exposure to UV radiation. It’s a controlled cosmetic application that can match your natural undertone and achieve a wide range of intensities — from subtle warmth to a deeper bronze. Unlike self-applied products that can result in patchy or streaky color, professional spray tanning relies on experienced technicians and proven solutions that adhere evenly and fade gracefully.
Key benefits of a professional spray tan
Immediate results: You leave the salon with visible color that develops and deepens over the first 6–8 hours.
UV-free tanning: Ideal for those avoiding sun exposure or UV beds.
Customization: Technicians choose solution strengths and application patterns based on your skin tone, clothing preferences, and event timing.
Even application: Professional equipment and technique prevent streaking and patchiness common with at-home sprays.
Suitable for sensitive skin: Many solutions are formulated for sensitive or reactive skin and are paraben-free or fragrance-free options.
Fast service: Typical appointments take 20–30 minutes, with development time following.
How Our Spray Tan Process Works
Consultation and preparation
We establish your skin tone, desired color depth, and event timing. We’ll advise on pre-appointment prep like exfoliation and avoiding moisturizers.
Application
Technicians use professional equipment in a private room. We employ techniques that ensure even coverage, contouring around joints and natural lines.
Development and aftercare
Tans develop over 6–8 hours. We provide detailed aftercare instructions, including waiting times before showering and how to prolong your tan.
Customization options
Light to deep solutions: Choose the depth of color from a subtle glow to a deeper bronze.
Shimmer or matte finishes: Solutions available in different finishes depending on your preference for sheen.
Sensitive-skin formulations: Options that minimize irritation for reactive skin.
Add-ons such as bronzing enhancers or express development for last-minute events.
Safety and product selection
We choose solutions from reputable brands known for safe ingredients and realistic color. Options include DHA-based formulations (the most common active ingredient in sunless tans), bronzers for immediate color, and gentle formulations for sensitive skin. We avoid harsh fragrances and recommend patch tests for clients with multiple allergies.
Who benefits most from spray tanning
Brides and wedding parties preparing for photography and ceremony.
Anyone avoiding UV exposure due to health concerns or medication sensitivities.
Clients wanting a quick color boost ahead of vacations or special events.
Individuals who seek consistent color without the maintenance of regular UV tanning sessions.
Pricing, packages, and group bookings
We offer single session pricing, package discounts for multiple sessions, and group rates for bridal parties or events. Discuss group scheduling in advance to accommodate parties and ensure consistent results.
Aftercare tips for longevity
Moisturize daily with our recommended lotions to keep skin hydrated and the tan even.
Avoid long, hot baths and exfoliation immediately post-rinse.
Use sulfate-free cleansing products to avoid stripping color.
Pat dry after showering rather than rubbing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a spray tan last?
Typically 5–10 days depending on skin type, preparation, and aftercare. Moisturizing and avoiding long hot showers helps the tan last longer.
Will the spray tan look orange?
Professional solutions are formulated to avoid an orange hue. Our technicians mix shades to match undertones so the result looks natural.
Can I shower right after my spray tan?
No. Most spray tans require 6–8 hours to develop before rinsing. Express solutions are available if you need faster development times.
How should I prepare for a spray tan?
Exfoliate the day before, avoid using lotion or oil on the day of your appointment, and wear loose, dark clothing after your session.
Can I still tan in the sun or use tanning beds after a spray tan?
Sun or UV exposure will not enhance a spray tan and may result in uneven fading. If you plan to UV tan later, wait until the spray tan has fully faded to ensure even results.
