Questions
Answers
 |
What
spray tan do you use? |
|
Gold Rush. Gold Rush tanning system is
one of the best tanning machines/solution on the market. It is high
powered, reliable and gives you a beautiful flawless tan and a
natural looking colour. We also do a new & exclusive ‘Beverley
Hills’ spray tan. Ask for more details. |
|
|

you come to the house? |

currently do not have any premises and only do home visits. |

|
|
Does
it go patchy or streaky? |
|
No, as long as you look after it. You
can’t expect any fake tans to fade as evenly as your natural tan,
but as long as you exfoliate and apply moisturizer your tan will not
go patchy. When your spray tan technician leaves your house,
your spray tan should already be flawless, any streaks or problems
are usually caused by the client from things such as water or
wearing tight clothing. |
|
|
Is it
orange? |
|
No. We like to think our spray tan’s
are very natural looking. You can see for yourself by taking a look
at our ‘gallery’ for client pictures and looking at our
‘feedback’ from regular clients. |

|
I
am very pale. Can I still have a spray tan? |
|
Yes! Any skin colour or skin
type can have a spray tan. The tan changes with the pigment of your skin,
so even if you had the darkest colour you would not look ridiculous as the
spray tan adjusts to your natural colour. |
|
|
|
Can
you have a spray tan whilst pregnant? |
|
You should seek advice from
your midwife and/or GP. If you decide to go ahead you do so at your own
risk, Gold Glow does not accept any responsibility. 90% of pregnant
clients decide to go ahead with the spray tan as there is no evidence to
suggest that the spray tan harms you or your unborn baby. However, there
is no evidence to suggest that it doesn't. A spray tan from Gold Glow is
potentially less harmful than using self tan from a bottle as the bottled
tans have added chemicals to prolong shelf life. Spray tans are also a lot
less harmful that sun beds. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you
would like more information on the product to give to your doctor. |

|
How
long does it take? |
|
For one person, we are in and
out of the house within 20 minutes. For each extra person + 5-7minutes
(approx). |
|
|
|
How
long does it take to dry? |
|
The spray tan Gold Glow uses
is superior to an airbrush tan so it virtually dries as it's being
applied. You will however be left with a 'sticky' feeling for about 2
hours after, which is why you should wear loose clothing. |
|
|
|
How
long after having a spray tan do I leave before I get dressed? |
|
You are able to put any loose
clothing on straight after, such as a dressing gown or pyjamas. You should
wait until you have lost the 'sticky' feeling before putting tighter
clothes or a bra on. Avoid wearing white until after your first shower. |

|
|
|
How
much is a half body spray tan? |
|
Half body is £2 less than
your normal area price. |
|
|
What
should/shouldn't I do before having a spray tan? |
|
You SHOULD:
Remove makeup, deodorant and jewellery.
Tie hair back.
Have loose clothing to put on after tan is applied i.e. dressing gown,
pyjamas.
Cover finger and toe nails with nail varnish or Vaseline.
Shower less than 24 hours before.
Have correct money and loyalty card ready.
You SHOULD NOT:
Moisturise less than 24hours before.
Shave less than 12 hours before.
Do any form of exercise before you've washed the excess off.
Have contact with water/liquids before you have washed the excess off
(VERY IMPORTANT). |
|
|
|
When
can I wash the excess off? |
|
You can wash the excess off
the next day. You should always leave your spray tan to develop overnight
for best results. Manufacturer's recommended time is anywhere between 12
and 24 hours after tan has been applied. |
|
|
|
How
do I wash the excess off? |
|
You should have a luke warm
shower or bath. Shower is the preferred method. Avoid using a lot of soapy
products all over your body as this may make the tan fake quicker than
usual. Avoid long hot baths whilst you have a spray tan as this may also
make the tan fade quicker.

|
|
Will
the spray tan stain my clothes/bed sheets? |
|
The spray tan may transfer
onto your clothes and/or bed sheets before you've washed the excess off.
However it is very unlikely it will stain, although we cannot guarantee
this. You should allow enough time to dry before dressing or going to bed.
The tan does stain the bones of white bras (just like any other fake tan),
so try to wear dark underwear when possible. |
|
|
|
Can
I shave after having it done? |
|
You should ideally shave the
day/night before your tanning session. If you can't, you are better off
leaving it until you shower the excess off as shaving will open your pours
and cause the tan to make 'dots'. Shaving after you've had a spray tan may
take the tan off slightly, but not to a noticeable degree. |
|
|
|
How
long does the spray tan last? |
|
The average amount of time is
7 days. Although if you take care of your tan it can last up to 10 days. |
|
|
|
Can
I have a spray tan to go away on holiday? |
|
Yes. The spray tan does act
as a slight barrier to the sun but does NOT contain any SPF. You should
always use sun protection. |
|
|
|
How
do I look after/prolong my spray tan? |
|
Moisturising is the
best method. Keeping your skin well moisturised helps the tan last longer
and fade more evenly. Gold Glow also has a number of Gold Rush products
available to buy such as the 'Tan Extender'. Contact
us for more details.

|
Are
there products available to buy? |
|
Yes. Gold Rush (the
manufacturer) produces a number of self tanning products available for you
to buy from Gold Glow. Products available are: Tan extender, self tanning
mousse, self tanning lotion, tan exfoliater and Aerosol tan (for face and
hands - coming soon). Please contact
us for more details and prices. |
|
|
|
How
often can I have a spray tan done? |
|
That’s entirely up to you.
Most client’s have them on a weekly or two-weekly basis. Gold Glow
recommends leaving at least a 3 day gap between tanning sessions. |
|
|
|
What
shades are available? And how do I know which one to choose? |
|
There is Dark, Medium
and Light* available. What colour you have is personal preference, the
dark gives you a very deep natural colour (like you've been on holiday to
the Caribbean). The medium gives you a sun kissed natural look (like
you've been on holiday to Spain). Shades will vary depending on your skin
pigment, a person will olive skin will go darker than a person with fairer
skin. *Light also give you a sun kissed look but Gold Glow generally does
not recommend this colour as it doesn't make much of a difference and it
fades quicker than the medium and dark. Your spray tan technician will be
able to advise you and discuss with you what colour would be suitable for
you upon arrival of appointment. |
|
|
|
Do
you have any special offers? |

|
How
many people can have a tan per house? |
|
As many as you wish. We
give great discounts for tanning
parties. You + 5 friends = your tan FREE. Please advise on the
number of people when booking your appointment, and let us know if there
is any changes. If there are a lot less people than originally booked
without notifying us you may incur a charge. |
|
|
|
How
far do you travel? |
|
Swansea and surrounding
areas. Please see our prices for
all area prices. If your area is not listed, or not near any areas
listed it is more than likely we do not cover that area. Please note, we
do not travel more than 10 miles out of Swansea during peak times. |
|
|
|
What
about my hair and nails? |
|
We provide you with a shower
cap to wear to protect your hair from the solution, although the tan will
not stain your hair, it will leave it feeling tacky and greasy if not
covered. You should ideally cover your natural nails with nail polish or
Vaseline before your spray tan. False nails do not need to be covered. |
|
|
|
What
if I have spilt liquid on me or have a patch? |
|
You should blend as
best you can with your finger. You will be surprised how everything blends
in once you’ve had your first shower. |
|
|
|
Can
I exercise? |
|
Only after your first shower.
If you exercise in between having a spray tan and washing the excess off
you risk sweating off the tan or it rubbing off on your clothes. |

|
|
Can
I leave the house the same day as having a spray tan? |
|
Yes. What we like most
about our spray tans is that as it is applied it comes out a lovely
natural looking colour and then gradually gets darker. You should wait
until you have lost your ‘sticky’ feeling before getting dressed, and
cover up completely if going out in the rain. |
|
|
|
Do
I need to get a babysitter for the children? |
|
No there is no need. As
we are usually in and out of your house within 20 minutes and you are only
in the tanning booth for approximately 7 minutes, usually the children
will watch. |
|
|
|
How
do I get the spray tan off? |
|
There is no ‘easy’ way
of getting a spray tan off unfortunately no product has been invented to
quickly remove the remains of a fake tan. However, try a long hot bath
with baby oil in and then use an exfoliating glove all over the body. For
places like the palms of your hands and fingers, use toothpaste with a
nail brush or hair conditioner. Do not try to use bleach as it dries
out the skin and makes the tan even more stubborn to remove. |
|
|
|
Can
I have a spray tan on top of another spray tan? |
|
Yes. But the results will not
be as good. You should exfoliate your skin and scrub off as much of the
previous tan as you can before having another spray tan. The spray tan
will be darker than usual when applied on top of another tan. Also the
spray tan will not fade as evenly and may be harder to scrub off. |
