Pre-Tan
How do I prep my skin
To prepare for your bronzing experience, you should exfoliate and shave all areas ideally the day before your tan. On the day, cleanse with a gentle cleanser. Ending your shower with a cool rinse helps and then remember not to moisturise or apply sun cream as this will create a barrier to your spray tan
What do I need to bring
Just yourself! At Bronze Bar we provide all you need for a flawless tan- all our rooms offer barrier cream, hairnets and wipes. We do have other items (including sticky feet and fun tan stickers!) but ask you only take what you need as we try to be as environmentally conscious as possible. If there are other items you feel you require, please don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss
In room prep
We’ll talk you through how the process works and provide colour guidance if needed. There is barrier cream to help blend drier areas such as ankles, feet, knees, elbows and hands. We also have hairnets and wipes. Each spray tan booth has an instructional poster, voice guidance and ‘how to’ video to guide you through the whole process
Are your tans safe for people who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have sensitive skin
Our products are Australian made and free from SLS, parabens and gluten. They are also vegan, cruelty free, non-comedogenic (non-pore clogging) and the active ingredients are eco-certified and natural. This means they are very gentle on the skin and suitable for most skin types, however if you have any concerns whatsoever, we recommend you discuss with your dermatologist or medical professional
During Tan
How does the experience work
The process is very easy, once you’ve purchased online you’ll then have the option to book a set time or call in at your convenience. If you buy a 5 or 10 pack, you will be able to collect your access tag at your first tan session. Once at the Bar we’ll run you through how everything works
How long does it take
The spray tan itself only takes around 3 minutes, this includes full coverage and drying, so you should expect the entire experience to take less than 10 minutes! We do ask that you keep your time in the room to only what you need to allow time for everyone to enjoy the bronze experience!
What should I wear during and after my tan
For your spray tan you should remove all jewellery and we recommend you do not wear any underwear to allow for a full and flawless tan. Each booth session includes full body drying so you can then get fully dressed as you wish. A lot of customers chose to bring loose-fitting clothing to slip on after their tan but normal clothing isn’t the end of the world! Note there may be some colour transfer if you choose the non-clear based tans, but it should wash out easily
Is there someone onsite/how do I get help if needed
Whilst we do often have staff on site, our facilities are state of the art, so staff are not always required. If you need assistance whilst no one is on site, then please call us where we can assist and guide you through any questions, including information on best colour options and how it all works
Can I bring a friend/partner/child with me
You are more than welcome to bring someone along, but note that they MUST stay in our waiting area and do not go into any rooms with you. If you have a child you wish to take into the room, you may do so but please remember you are responsible for their safety at all times as well as any damage incurred. For the safety and security of all our members we have security cameras monitoring the public areas and our booth technology allows us to track the tan types and times. Any misuse whatsoever may result in instant membership cancellation, recouping of costs and police reporting
Post-Tan
How do I care for my spray tan
Your tan will continue to develop after you leave The Bar but remember to clean your hands immediately after your tan. Because our tans are organic and the active ingredients are so gentle and natural, they do not contain chemical accelerators and so take a little longer to develop. Some people prefer to leave their tan on overnight in order to get the maximum development, however they can also be rinsed off in as little as 3 hours. You’ll also receive a text with lots of aftercare information and tips for you to refer back to as you need
How long will my spray tan last
This depends on many factors, including your own skin type and how fast it renews. With the correct preparation and aftercare your skin can stay bronzed and beautiful for an average of 5 to 7 days, with some clients getting up to 14 days wear!
When are the spray tan booths cleaned
Our state of the art booths have a wash down feature which automatically activates after each spray tan, ensuring you have a clean and comfortable experience. We also manually clean them every day and undertake further deep cleaning weekly and monthly
Can I get dressed immediately
Yes! All of our sprays include drying, both between each spray and at the end (don't worry, the voice guidance will walk you through this in the booth). This means you can get dressed immediately and get on with your day. Remember we have several colour options and shades which will give you an immediate colour and then develop your tan underneath. We also have our clear base which goes on transparent and then will develop over the next 6-12 hours, if you prefer to not have the immediate colour option. See our Home page for more info on the colours and shades available
