Got Questions? We've Got Answers.
First time getting a spray tan? Totally nervous? Completely unsure what to expect?
That's what this page is for. Here are the questions we get asked most at Golden Studios - and our honest answers!
FAQs
Will I look orange?
1
Absolutely not! The days of orange tans are well and truly behind us. At Golden Studios I use premium Azure Tan solutions that are specifically formulated to develop into a natural, golden colour - not orange, not muddy, just beautifully sun-kissed. I also personalise every single tan to your skin tone, so the result always looks like it belongs on you.
I’m really pale… can I still get a spray tan?
2
Yes! In fact, fair skin can look absolutely stunning with a spray tan. The key is choosing the right shade - and that's exactly what your First Glow consultation is for. We'll find a colour that enhances your natural skin tone without looking too dramatic (unless that's what you want 😊).
Does it smell?
3
Azure Tan is known for its beautiful, low-odour formulas - so the days of smelling like a biscuit tin are mostly behind us! There may be a very subtle scent while the tan develops, but nothing that will have people guessing.
How long will it last?
4
With good aftercare, your tan will last around 7–10 days. The key is moisturising every day and avoiding long soaks in the bath or pool, which can fade it faster.
How long does the appointment take?
5
Just 15 minutes! Golden Studios appointments are quick, easy, and fit into even the busiest schedule. First Glow appointments may take a little longer as we'll have a consultation first.
What do I wear to my appointment?
6
Wear or bring dark, loose clothing to change into after your tan. Avoid tight waistbands, bra straps, or fitted shoes while your tan is developing as these can cause marks.
Do I need to do anything to prepare?
7
Yes! Good prep makes a huge difference to your result. Check out our full Glow Guide for everything you need to know before and after your tan.
