HONEY HUE

Before your appointment

A few questions so your color is mixed for your skin, not for an average. Your answers stay with your artist.

About two minutes
HONEY HUE

Let's start with you

So we can find your file when you arrive.

This is where your rinse reminder goes.

How did you find us?

What are we spraying for?

A wedding gets a different recommendation than a Tuesday.

Have you had a spray tan before?

Being specific here is the single most useful thing you can tell us.

Tell us about your skin

Any dry patches we should prep?

Dry areas grab more color. Knowing in advance is how we avoid dark spots.

How does your skin handle the sun?

This tells us how quickly your skin will take color.

Which row looks closest to your skin?

Compare against the inside of your upper arm, where the sun rarely reaches. Close is close enough. Your artist confirms in person.

What do you want to look like?

There is no wrong answer here, and you can change your mind in the chair.

When would you rather rinse?

We carry a rapid solution you rinse in a few hours and an overnight one you sleep in. Same result, different route.

This decides whether a rapid solution actually fits your day.

A few safety questions

Check anything that applies. None of these necessarily stop your appointment, they just change how we prep.

What happens when you arrive

The spray itself takes about fifteen minutes. The machine is loud and the solution is cool on the skin, both of which surprise people the first time.

Your artist guides you through each pose. You'll be asked to keep your arms up and your palms facing the floor. Dropping your arms mid-spray is what creates creases at the elbow.

Undress to whatever you're comfortable in. Most clients wear a dark bra and underwear or nothing at all. You'll be given a hairnet, worn behind the ears with a little hairline showing so your face doesn't stop at a hard edge.

Keeping it

Three things shorten a tan faster than anything else: sulfates, mineral oil, and exfoliating acids. Check your body wash and your lotion, because they hide in both.

Beyond that, skip hot showers, pat dry instead of rubbing, and keep the skin moisturized. A tan on dry skin fades in patches.

Last part

Use your finger or a stylus.
See you soon

You're all set

Your consultation is on file. Your artist will confirm everything in person before mixing your color, so nothing here is locked in.
