Welcome

Indor uv tanning provides the same benefits and risk as outdoor tanning.Both feel good and can improve your apperance; both also call for moderation and proper skin care. Indoor tanning, however provides a more reliable, controllable exposure of UVA and UVB tanning rays. Each tanning bed or stand-up is regulated by the Federal Drug Administration and rated for maximum exposure time. In addition, Sahara Sun employees are Smart Tan Certified to recommend the best, most responsible way to get the result you're looking for.

Wherever your tan – at Sahara Sun , another salon or in the great outdoors, keep in mind the Golden Rule of Smart Tanning: NEVER BURN. Sunburn does not turn into a tan, it actually keeps your body from tanning while exposing you to incresed risk. It's always better to build up your tan – your body's narural defences against UV overexposure – slowly,safely and in moderation.

Two types of light rays are emitted by the sun and UV tanning equipment that work together to get you tan. UVA rays are mainly browning rays  that turn the melanin in your skin from pink to brown. This reaction is the body's natural protection from the sun. UVA rays penetrate a little deeper into the skin than UVB rays,are less likely to burn you, and take a few hours longer to produce their full result.
Airbrush tanning provides a beautifully bronze UV free tan. You will enjoy a golden glow without any harsh rays from the sun or unwanted tan lines. The DHA in our tanning solution is what allows your body to produce a natural rich tan. DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is safe and has been approved by the FDA and is used in all over the counter tanning products as well as in our paraben free tanning solution.
A certified airbrush technician will come to your home or private location and provide a quick and discrete tanning session. The session will take approximately 30 minutes from setup to take down. The actual airbrushing will take approximately 10 minutes. All we need is an electrical outlet and a well lit area to airbrush in. We will determine the best area to airbrush upon arrival.
Shave and exfoliate at least 24 hours before your appointment for the most flawless tan. Do not apply any lotion, deodorant or perfume as these products do not allow your body to absorb the tanning solution evenly. Avoid any oil based bath products when showering.
Wear loose fitting clothes before and after your airbrush session. The tanning solution produces an instant bronzer which may rub off on your clothing. We recommend wearing dark colored clothing. Our tanning solution is water solvable and will wash out of most fabrics. Do not shower 6-8 hours after your session, your tan needs time to develop evenly. During your tanning session you may wear whatever you feel most comfortable in. You may prefer to be nude to avoid any tan lines. If you wish to wear underwear or a swim suit we recommend dark colors like black or navy.
If you care for your tan properly it may last up to 7-10 days.
Do not shower for 6-8 hours after your tanning session. You will notice upon showering that the bronzer will be coming off, this is normal and will not affect your tan. Take warm showers, not hot. Pat dry do not rub. Avoid heavy sweating, swimming, sauna or spa activity as these naturally exfoliate your skin and will leave an uneven appearance. Moisturize at least 2 times daily, this is the key in giving the longest life possible to your tan. If you cannot avoid the pool we recommend an oil based sunscreen to help lock in your tan.
No, there is no SPF protection in an airbrush tan. You will want to protect your skin and tan by wearing an oil based sunscreen when out in the sun.You do not want to burn as this leads to peeling which will give your tan an uneven appearance.
You may be airbrushed in whatever you feel most comfortable. Feel confident knowing that your privacy is our upmost importance. We will provide a comfortable and discrete atmosphere during your airbrush session.We all have imperfect bodies and airbrush tanning is one way to help give us the confidence we desire in our appearance.
We will provide airbrush services to men and women. Men are required to wear an undergarment at all times during the airbrush session. We recommend dark colored boxer shorts or underwear that can be airbrushed.
Although our solution is safe and FDA approved, it is advised that pregnant or breastfeeding women should not spray tan.
This is a common question, and yes, all products that use DHA create a slight odor depending on the pH level in your skin. As your tan develops you may or may not notice a slight odor. The SunFX system that we use is odorless unlike most tanning products that produce odor upon application.
