We love seeing your faces and work as hard as we can to accommodate as many of you as possible without compromising the quality of your experience which is why we ask that you please reschedule or cancel your appointments at least 12 hours before your appointment. If you miss this cutoff you may be charged a cancellation fee of $40.00.

Oooh girl, we know ish happens so we really do try to make it work. If you’re 10 minutes late or more you will have to wait to be squeezed in between other appointments. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee how long that wait will be. If you opt not to wait you will be charged the cancellation/rescheduling fee of $40.

•  STOP using Dove or any body wash/soap that is not sulfate, paraben and mineral oil free immediately.

• Exfoliate with an oil-free scrub or loofah/washcloth/mitt at least 4 hours before your appointment. This gives your pores time to close to avoid discoloration.

• Shower, shave, and exfoliate at least 12 hours before your appointment (ideally closer to 24 hours) to give your pores time to close to avoid discoloration.

• Complete all other beauty services such as manicures, pedicures, waxing, facials, and massages first. Ideally these are done the day before your spray tan.

• Dress appropriately; loose fitting clothes are highly recommended.

For the gals–the choice is totally yours. Most gals tan nude to avoid the tan lines, but if
you’re not ready for that you can feel free to wear your undergarments or a bathing
suit. We also provide disposable bikinis, strapless bras and pasties. We’ve always got
you covered…literally!

For the guys, minimal clothing is suggested, but a bottom covering such as boxers or
briefs is required.

Bring loose-fitting clothes to change into immediately after your spray tan.
Think comfy and breathable. We suggest maxi dresses, lounge wear, pj’s or
your boyfriend’s clothes (no kidding!). No denim, strappy garments, yoga
pants, tight bras or underwear. Flip flops are a great choice too.

• To avoid tan lines, we recommend going bra-less until after your first shower.

Stay away from all moisture until your first shower; this means no showers, no work
outs, no swimming, no washing dishes, no laundry, no lotions or deodorants, and no
liquid foundations on the skin. Tanning doctor’s orders!

• If you booked a rapid tan, you can take your first shower 1 to 4 hours after your
  appointment. Your spray tan artist will discuss the exact time with you before you leave.
• If you booked a classic tan, you can take your first shower 8 to 12 hours after your
  appointment.
• Do NOT wait more than 24 hours after your appointment to shower. Trust us on this
  one!
• Your first shower should really only be a gentle rinse. Use warm water and the palms of your hands to rinse surface bronzer off your skin.
• In the days following, avoid harsh scrubbing, loofahs, washcloths, hot water, and bar
  soap.
• Pat yourself dry when toweling off. Don’t rub or you’ll cause unnecessary exfoliation of
  the skin which will fade it faster.

Your spray tan will usually take 15 to 20 minutes, but we just can’t get enough of you so
we allocate a full 30 to 45 minutes for each client to include intake, checkout and questions.

A spray tan generally lasts anywhere from 5 to 7 days naturally. With proper aftercare and by following our advice, it’s possible for your spray tan to last up to 12 days!

How can we put this lightly? H-E-L-L NO! We pride ourselves
on mixing custom formulas for each client to ensure that your tan looks as natural as
possible.

Orange tans are the result of improper application, color mixology, or skin care either
before or after your spray tan. Follow our prep and aftercare instructions and you will
always be your perfect shade of bronze. We guarantee it!

Great question! You totally can, but spray tans provide no UV protection so you’ll need
to make sure you’re still wearing SPF.

There is no parking lot at the studio because #citylife, but there is plentiful free street parking for up to 2 hours on all of the surrounding residential streets. We recommend checking 33rd Street which runs parallel to Wisconsin or on Volta, Q or Reservoir Rd. which are all within a block of the studio. You can also park directly on  some parts of Wisconsin Ave. before 4pm and after 6:30pm. Please plan accordingly. Consider it a(nother) good excuse to explore Georgetown!

Your tanning appointment for any special event should be scheduled 48 hours prior to the event. This allows the full 24 hours for your color to completely develop before the event.

We probably have the answer so feel free to drop us a line at info@ebzsunless.com or
fill out our Contact Form and we’ll get right back to you.

Most tans require 24 hours to fully develop, but in rare cases it can take up to 48 hours. Please trust the process!
