UV Tanning
With our boutique's focus on safer tanning principles, we work together with our clients to be proactive about UV exposure while maximizing the benefits of developing a tan based on their goals and skin type. Indoor tans give our clients a way to tan in a controlled manner and slowly build up a moderate tan over time. It takes time to build up a long lasting, beautiful, and safer tan!

Common Questions
How long is a UV tanning session?
UV tanning sessions are quick and easy! The session time depends on your skin type, experience, and goals. We'll guide you to finding your "sweet spot"! At most a UV Basic session can be up to 15 minutes long, and a UV Upgrade can be up to 12 minutes long.
How do I prepare for my UV tanning session?
The first rule of healthy skin is to stay hydrated, so ensure you have consumed an adequate amount of water before your appointment. To prep your skin we recommend removing your body hair with your preferred method of hair removal the day before your appointment, and taking a shower before arriving. After your shower, avoid applying heavy perfumes and essential oils. Remove and makeup and jewelry and wear lip balm with SPF to protect your lips during the session. Depending on your comfort level, you can tan nude or in a swimsuit. If you'd like to tan in a swimsuit, don't forget to bring it along!
Can I shower after my tanning session?
Yes! We recommend staying hydrated, showering, and moisturizing at your convenience after your UV tanning session. A shower will not wash away your tan unless you have combined it with a UV Free Spray Tan session in which case, we recommend waiting 6-8 hours before showering.
How long will my tan take to develop?
It can take up to 24 hours for the full results of a tanning session to develop. The results can last for 1-4 weeks depending on your skin type and duration of exposure. We recommend shorter exposures over time to build up a more long-lasting tan, while getting ahead of signs of aging from UV exposure.
How can I build my tan quickly?
If you'd like to achieve your dream tan quicker, we recommend pairing your UV Tanning session with a UV Free Spray Tanning session. This is commonly referred to as "cocktail tanning" and will allow you to achieve your perfect shade the same day with the spray tan, while building your skin's own tan with UV tanning sessions over time.
How do I maintain my skin after a tanning session?
Adherence to a proper skincare regimen will help maintain the health and longevity of your skin and your new tan. We'll help guide you in choosing skincare products and treatments that will keep your skin hydrated, nourished, and healthy. Our Red Light Collagen Therapy and Hydration Therapy make great additions to a UV tan by improving skin texture and hydrating your skin to combat signs of aging.
