Spray Tan Questions, Answered
Everything clients ask before booking a spray tan in Nashville, from prep to price, plus how artists can earn our spray tan certification.
How long does a spray tan last?
Most spray tans last 5 to 10 days. Rapid rinse solutions typically last 5 to 8 days and overnight solutions 7 to 10, and some clients see 12 to 14 days. How you prep your skin and care for it afterward makes the biggest difference. Daily moisturizing with a tan-safe lotion like our Lemon Drop Shimmer Moisturizer helps your color fade evenly.
How do I prepare for a spray tan?
Shave, wax, and exfoliate at least 24 hours before your appointment, then shower at least 3 hours before. Arrive with clean skin and skip lotion, oil, makeup, perfume, and deodorant the day of your tan. Moisturize in the days leading up to it, just not the day of. See our full prep guide.
What should I wear to a spray tan?
Wear loose, dark clothing and slides or sandals. Skip bras, leggings, jeans, tight socks, and closed-toe shoes so your color can develop without rubbing. You can be tanned in disposable underwear, your own underwear, a bathing suit, or nothing at all, whatever feels comfortable.
Spray tan vs self tanner: which is better?
A professional spray tan gives you the most even, custom-blended color, matched to your undertone by an artist, which is why it is the go-to for weddings, events, and photoshoots. A quality self tanner is perfect for keeping your glow up between appointments. Most of our clients use both, pairing a spray tan with our sweat-resistant self-tanning mousse.
How much does a spray tan cost?
In Nashville, an in-studio spray tan in Brentwood is $95, and your first tan is $69. Concierge spray tans that come to you start at $80 per person: solo is $150, 2 to 4 guests are $95 each, and 5 or more guests are $80 each. Book 6 or more and the bride glows free.
Do you offer mobile spray tans that come to you?
Yes. Our concierge spray tan is a mobile, at home spray tan service. We bring the full Sunless Bar experience to your home, hotel, Airbnb, or venue anywhere within 30 miles of Brentwood, including Nashville, Franklin, and Green Hills. If you have been searching for a spray tan near me in Nashville, this is it.
When should I get a bridal or wedding spray tan?
Book your bridal spray tan 2 days before your wedding so your color is fully developed and settled for photos. The same timing works for a spray tan before a photoshoot. Bridal parties and bachelorette groups are one of our specialties, and we will build a timeline so everyone glows on the right day.
Do you do prom spray tans?
Yes. Prom spray tans are custom blended for a natural glow that looks great in photos. Clients under 18 must wear underwear during the tan and have a parent or legal guardian present for the entire appointment.
Do you offer spray tan certification?
Yes. The Sunless Bar Exam™ is our online spray tan certification with a real exam. Artists earn it by passing a written exam and a filmed practical, which makes it a spray tan certification that actually means something. It is built for anyone learning how to become a spray tan artist or leveling up an existing business.
Book With Confidence
If you want a spray tan that looks natural, lasts well, and holds up in every setting, The Sunless Bar is here to deliver it.
