How to pay less

  • Buy a spray tan course or loyalty card if you tan regularly
  • Choose a standard spray tan over an express one if you can wait longer to rinse
  • Exfoliate at home before your spray tan so it lasts longer and fades evenly

Before you book

  • Shave or wax at least 24 hours before your spray tan
  • Exfoliate the day before and arrive without deodorant, make-up or moisturiser
  • Wear loose, dark clothing to the spray tan appointment
  • Book a patch test if you have sensitive skin or have never had a spray tan

Spray Tan cost: questions people ask

Usually £20 to £50, with about £25 typical for a standard full-body tan. Premium solutions cost more.

About 15 to 20 minutes in the salon. Development then takes from one to eight hours depending on the solution.

Spray tans use DHA, which colours the surface of the skin and does not involve UV. Keep eyes and lips protected and tell the therapist if you are pregnant or have asthma.

Yes, but do it at least 24 hours before so pores settle and the colour does not pool.

Exfoliation, waxing and take-home products are separate. Some salons charge more for express formulas.
