FAQ

At Australian Tan, we feature the VersaSpa Spray Booth to help you achieve a seamless instant tan. VersaSpa uses a light mist that covers your whole body that will not leave you soaking wet or cause the solution to streak.

There are three different levels that you can choose from to help you get the perfect color each and every time. We also have VersaSpa products available for you to purchase to add that extra glow and perfection to your tan.

Before you come in for your spray session, be sure to shower, shave and exfoliate for best results. Avoid putting on any lotions, deodorants, or perfumes prior to your session as they can interfere with the bronzer. After your session, avoid any beauty routines such as getting your nails done or waxing, etc. until after your spray tan has fully developed and you have showered.

Our manufacturer recommends that you spray once every five to seven days to allow your skin and pores to breathe. We also recommend fully exfoliating between spray sessions.

We’re glad you asked! We have products specifically designed for spray tanning to prolong the life of your tan, enhance your color, and speed up your processing time. If you also like to UV tan and spray tan on the same day, we have a lotion that is made for back-to-back use.

Absolutely! Tanning is a process that can take up to 24 hours to develop. You cannot wash away your tan unless you are using a self-tanner, shaving right away, or exfoliating.

If you’re taking medication, it is recommended that you consult with your physician prior to using a tanning bed.

We recommend you consult your physician first prior to using UV tanning services. A very popular alternative is our Spray Booth.

When visiting any of our locations, you will find that we have all of our different level beds available. The amount of equipment may vary.

It is a federal law that you wear goggles each and every time you tan. The skin on your eyelids is very thin and does not produce any melanin. If you close your eyes and place a towel over your face the UV rays can penetrate through, not giving you 100 percent protection.

Depending on your skin type, your results may vary from two to five sessions. After achieving a base tan, one or two sessions a week will maintain your tan year-round.

You are welcome to tan once a day in a UV bed, but spray tanning has no limitations. If you want to maximize your color, we recommend “double-dipping”; or in other words, using a UV bed and Spray Booth back to back on the same day.

It is California law that you are at least 18 years old to tan in UV beds; however, there is no minimum age to tan in our Spray Booth.

No. When tanning in one of our UV beds, you are in a controlled environment, meaning you know exactly what percentage of UV light you are getting. For example, our instant or level five-bed has less than 1 percent of UVB (UVB is the burning ray), versus the sun which has 12 to 15 percent of UVB on any given day.

You only need a small amount of UVB to produce a tan. All of our beds have less UVB than the sun, resulting in a gentler way to produce a tan for your skin.

The lotions that we carry are specifically designed for the UV light that is in the bed. They increase your tan by up to 70 percent and add vitamins and minerals to your skin while you tan.

Tan extenders are specifically designed for a tanner’s skin and help your tan last up to 50 percent longer. The moisturizers that you can purchase at the store have mineral oils that strip your tan. Tan extenders help extend the life of your tan.

When tanning without lotion, the first six minutes of your tan will not be effective. This is because the light reflects off your skin rather than absorbing it. When tanning with lotion, you will see instant results to help you achieve your desired tan.

The manufacturers of our lotions only sell to authorized tanning salons. They do not sell these lotions to online retailers. If a lotion that we provide is also available to purchase online, we cannot guarantee that lotion is safe. There are possibilities that they are filled with cheap fillers.

Cancellations can only be made by filling out a Change of Status form and mailing it to our corporate offices. Forms must be received on or before the 14th day of the month. You will then receive an email confirming the changes that have been requested. Forms may be picked up at any Australian Tan location or printed out online.

A customer has the flexibility to make changes to their membership at any time, as long as they send in a Change of Status form before or by the given deadline.

Any necessary changes to billing information must be done in stores. Since we require you to be present and sign an information update form, we cannot make any changes over the phone.

As of July 1, 2010, the federal government added a mandated 10 percent tax on all UV tanning services. We are required to charge this tax and encourage you to contact your elected officials with any comments.
