How long does a spray tan last?

Spray tans typically last 7-10 days, depending on your skin type, preparation, and aftercare. Following this guideline will help you maintain your glow as long as possible.

When should I book my appointment?

It’s best to book 1-2 days ahead. It takes about 24 hours for spray tans to fully develop.

Is there parking available?

Yes! We offer covered valet parking for just $4, conveniently added to your spray tan session. No apps or meters - just pull up, tan, and go.

Which Tan: Express or Standard?

Color and lasting results are similar — the difference is rinse time. The Standard tan has three depth levels and requires a minimum of 12 hours before your first rinse. With Express, you can rinse in 2 to 4 hours depending on how deep you want the color. All spray tans take 24 hours to fully develop.

Why wouldn't everyone choose Express?

Many clients do — it allows you to rinse in just 2 to 4 hours instead of waiting 12, which can be more convenient for busy schedules. Both Express and Standard tans take 24 hours to fully develop, but Express minimizes the time you need to wait before rinsing. Just keep in mind: you’ll need to rinse at the recommended time to avoid overdeveloping — the longer you leave it on, the darker you get. Standard is great if you’d rather not watch the clock and don’t mind leaving it on longer — even overnight.

What is the cancellation policy?

Please provide at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Same-day cancellations and no-shows will be charged 50% of the service price.

Coachella Spray Tan Prep: How to Get the Perfect Festival Glow

Festival season is here—and if you’re heading to Coachella, your glow matters just as much as your outfits.

A flawless spray tan can elevate your entire look, but timing and prep are everything, especially with long days in the desert sun.

At L.A. Sun Spray Tan, we specialize in custom airbrush spray tans designed to develop beautifully and look effortlessly natural.

Here’s exactly how to get the perfect Coachella glow.

When to Get Your Spray Tan Before Coachella

For the best results, schedule your spray tan 1 day before you leave for Coachella. This allows full color development, time for your first rinse and a natural, settled glow to last through the weekend. If you’re leaving Friday, aim for a Thursday appointment and if you can’t do Thursday, Wednesday is second best.

Express vs. Standard Spray Tan: Which One is Better for Coachella?

Both options work and have similar results, but it depends on your schedule.

Standard Tan (12-hour rinse):

3 different levels of depth
Ideal if you’re prepping in advance and can’t rinse within 4-5 hours

Express Tan (2-4 hour rinse):

Flexible timing with faster rinse
Custom depth depending on rinse time

Not sure which to choose? Your artist will guide you based on your schedule and desired result.

How to Prep for Your Coachella Spray Tan

Prepping properly makes or breaks your results.

One day before your appointment, be sure to exfoliate with liquid bath soap (no Dove) and bath gloves. For extra exfoliating power, exfoliate for 2 days. Apply a lotion after.

Avoid adding lotions, oils, deodorant, and makeup the day of your appointment.

Arrive to your appointment wearing loose, dark clothing.

This ensures an even, streak-free application and longer-lasting results.

How to Make Your Spray Tan Last in the Desert

Coachella = heat, sweat, dust… so your aftercare matters.

To maintain your glow, avoid tight clothing immediately after your tan. Stay hydrated (your skin needs it) and moisturize daily after showering. Avoid long, hot showers and pat dry your skin- don’t rub.

A well-prepped and well-maintained tan will last the entire weekend.

Why a Custom Airbrush Tan Makes the Difference

Not all spray tans are created equal. At L.A. Sun Spray Tan, every tan is fully customized and designed to give the most natural-looking results.

Whether you’re attending Coachella, a desert event, or just want that effortless glow, your tan should look like skin, just better.
