Airbrush Tan FAQ

Where is the studio located?

Hush Heated Airbrush Tan is located inside Sola Salon Studios in Carlsbad. After booking, you’ll get an email with detailed directions. Be sure to read it before your appointment — it’ll make arriving super easy!

What kind of solution do you use?

Only the best for your skin! I use an Eco-cert certified, vegan, paraben- & formaldehyde-free, wheat-free solution that gives a natural, long-lasting glow.

When is the best time to schedule a tan?

Special events: 1–2 days before
Vacations: the day before you leave

Pro tip: Schedule after any hair removal, massages, nail treatments, or workouts. If you can’t get a nail appointment first, just ask them to skip foot soaking and scrubbing.

Do I need to shower and exfoliate right before my appointment?

Yes! Shower, shave, and exfoliate 24 hours before your tan for best results.
Coming straight from work? No problem! Just exfoliate the night before or that morning, and bring a change of clothes and makeup remover wipes.

What should I wear during my session?

Women: Anything you feel comfortable in. Keep in mind, clothing may leave lines — some wear a bathing suit, disposable underwear, or go nude.
Men: Bathing suit or shorts required.

What should I wear after my session?

Loose, comfortable clothing is best. Step-into dresses or baggy sweatpants and shirts are my favorites. Avoid light colors— dark clothes work best!

Will this cover my tan lines?

Airbrush tanning can soften tan lines, but the results depend on their location and severity. Some lines may still show slightly, but your tan will look natural and blended.

What if I had too much sun before my appointment?

Excessive sun exposure can affect how your tan develops, and peeling afterward may make it look uneven. Avoid heavy sun in the days leading up to your appointment. I cannot be responsible for peeling caused by prior sun exposure.

How long will my airbrush tan last?

With proper prep and aftercare, your tan can last 7–10 days. Moisturize daily to help your glow fade beautifully. The products you use before and after your tan also matter — ask me for recommendations!

Will I turn orange?

Nope! Modern solutions are formulated for natural, flattering color. I’ll customize your tan to match your skin tone perfectly. Proper prep and aftercare will keep it looking completely natural.

If I wait longer to shower, will my tan get darker?

No — stick to the recommended rinse time for your tan type. Waiting longer won’t make it darker.

Can I tan while pregnant?

Congratulations! Most doctors recommend waiting until after your first trimester. Wear a mask and underwear during your session, and always check with your doctor first.
