How to Prep for the Perfect Spray Tan at KiKi Beauty Bar

So you booked your spray tan at Kiki Beauty Bar (great choice!), but now what? Here’s how to prep like a pro to make sure your Pittsburgh spray tan lasts as long as possible.

1. Exfoliate 24 Hours Before

Use a gentle scrub or dry brush to remove dead skin cells — this helps your spray tan go on evenly and last longer.

2. Shave or Wax in Advance

If you’re waxing, do it at least 24–48 hours before your tan. Shaving? Give it a solid 12 hours. This helps avoid streaks and irritation.

3. Avoid Lotion, Deodorant, or Makeup

Come with clean, dry skin. Moisturizers and oils can create a barrier that prevents the spray tan solution from absorbing properly.

4. Bring Loose, Dark Clothing

Tight clothes and light colors can mess with your tan. We recommend something black and baggy — cozy vibes only.

Bonus Tip: Don’t Forget Your Feet!

We’ll take care of blending everything perfectly, but exfoliating your feet in advance helps prevent patchiness.
