Welcome to Anthony John's Day Spa & Salon! Here, we offer top-notch spray tanning services using Sjolie Sunless products, renowned for their natural and organic ingredients. Whether you're preparing for a special event or just want to enjoy a sun-kissed glow, our spray tans provide a safe, beautiful bronze without the sun's harmful rays.

Preparation for Your Spray Tan

What to Do Before Your Tan:

  • Schedule Other Services First: Book any hair, nails, waxing, facials, or massages at least 2 days before your spray tan to avoid any products that might affect your tan.
  • Exfoliate: Use a spa-grade exfoliator the day before your appointment to remove dead skin cells. Make sure all shaving is completed to leave your skin fresh and ready for tanning.
  • Hydrate: Drink plenty of water and moisturize your skin several times a day before the tan to ensure it lasts longer and looks better.


What to Bring and Wear:

  • Arrive with clean skin, free from makeup, perfumes, or deodorants.
  • Wear loose, dark-colored clothing like cotton pants and a shirt to ensure your tan can develop without any marks.

After Your Spray Tan...How to Care for it

Immediate Aftercare:

  • Avoid water, sweating, and skin-to-skin contact until your designated rinse time.
  • Shower with cool water at your assigned time without soap, and gently pat your skin dry.


Long-term Care:

  • Apply a tan extend lotion daily to maintain your glow. This lotion contains hydrating ingredients and a mild tanning agent (DHA) to keep your skin looking great.
  • Minimize shaving, avoid hot showers, baths, and exposure to chlorine and saltwater to prevent your tan from fading unevenly.

  • HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT BEFORE SHOWERING AFTER GETTING A SPRAY TAN?

    Wait until your designated rinse time, usually between 1 to 8 hours depending on the type of tan. Always follow the specific guidance your technician provides to ensure the best results.

  • WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY SPRAY TAN APPOINTMENT?

    Wear loose, dark clothing and flip-flops. Tight clothing can rub against the tan and affect its evenness as it develops.

  • CAN I APPLY MAKEUP AFTER GETTING A SPRAY TAN?

    It’s best to avoid applying makeup until after your first post-tan shower. This allows the tan to set properly without interference.

  • HOW CAN I MAKE MY SPRAY TAN LAST LONGER?

    Moisturize daily with a tan-safe lotion, stay hydrated, and avoid exfoliating your skin. Also, use gentle, hydrating body wash instead of harsh soaps.

  • IS SPRAY TANNING SAFE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN?

    Yes, the products used at Anthony John’s are designed to be gentle and safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin. However, if you have concerns, consider a patch test first.

  • WILL MY SPRAY TAN LOOK NATURAL?

    Yes, our spray tans are designed to give you a natural-looking, even color that suits your skin tone. We use high-quality Sjolie products to ensure a flawless finish.

  • HOW SHOULD I PREPARE MY SKIN FOR A SPRAY TAN?

    Exfoliate your skin thoroughly 24 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin cells and moisturize regularly to keep your skin hydrated.

  • CAN I WORK OUT AFTER GETTING A SPRAY TAN?

     It's best to avoid heavy sweating and water for the first 24 hours after your spray tan to allow the color to develop properly.

  • WHAT IF I HAVE ALLERGIES OR SENSITIVE SKIN?

    Please inform your spray tan technician about any skin conditions or allergies. We can conduct a patch test to ensure the product is safe for you

  • HOW OFTEN CAN I GET A SPRAY TAN?

    You can safely get spray tans as often as every 9 to 12 days. This timing allows your previous tan to fade evenly and your skin to be properly prepped for the next session.
