Health & Safety Guidelines
Your comfort and well-being come first. Review these guidelines so we can keep every Heavenly Tan appointment safe, hygienic, and tailored to your skin.
A Safe, Spa-Level Experience at Home
We follow state cosmetology requirements and industry best practices for mobile spray tanning.
Heavenly Tan technicians are trained, insured, and equipped with professional-grade solutions. The recommendations below help you prepare, protect sensitive skin, and know what to expect during service.
Before Your Appointment
- Exfoliate 24 hours in advance and arrive clean, dry, and free of lotions, deodorant, fragrance, or oil.
- Complete the client intake form truthfully so we know about allergies, medications, or recent cosmetic treatments.
- Schedule shaving or waxing at least 24 hours before the appointment to avoid irritation.
- Prepare a ventilated space large enough for our pop-up tent (roughly 7’ x 7’) with access to a grounded outlet.
- Set the thermostat between 68°F and 72°F to maintain comfort during and after the session.
Contraindications & When to Pause
Please reschedule or consult your physician if you:
- Have active skin infections, open wounds, fresh tattoos, sunburn, or peeling skin.
- Recently underwent laser treatments, chemical peels, or cosmetic procedures within the last 48 hours.
- Are experiencing respiratory illness, fever, or any contagious condition.
- Are pregnant in the first trimester or have been advised by a healthcare provider to avoid DHA-based products.
Clients managing chronic conditions (including asthma, eczema, or autoimmune disorders) should speak with their healthcare provider and share any restrictions before booking.
During Your Appointment
- Technicians set up a sanitized pop-up tent, HVLP sprayer, barrier cream, and protective drop cloth.
- Disposable undergarments, nose filters, lip balm, and eye protection are available upon request.
- We apply pH balancing prep spray, custom-blended solution, and finishing powder to reduce transfer.
- Technicians wear gloves and masks, disinfect touch points between clients, and bag disposable waste for removal.
- Expect the full appointment to take 30–45 minutes, including setup, application, and thorough drying.
Aftercare Essentials
- Avoid moisture (sweat, rain, showers) until your first rinse—2–4 hours for express formulas or 8–12 hours for classic solutions.
- Choose loose, dark clothing and open footwear to prevent rubbing or solution transfer.
- Use sulfate-free, moisturizing products to extend your tan and pat skin dry after bathing.
- Delay intense workouts, saunas, or swimming for 24 hours for best results.
- Contact us if you experience irritation; discontinue any new lotions or products applied post-tan.
Allergies, Sensitivities & Patch Testing
Although DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is widely regarded as safe for topical use, reactions can occur. Notify us if you have a history of allergies to sunless tanning solutions, fragrances, or cosmetic preservatives. We will gladly perform a patch test at least 24 hours prior to a full application.
If you experience difficulty breathing, swelling, or severe rash after your appointment, seek immediate medical care and inform the technician so we can document the incident.
Hygiene & Sanitation Standards
- Equipment is cleaned and disinfected with hospital-grade solutions between appointments.
- Disposable items (gloves, filters, wipes) are single-use only and sealed before arrival.
- Technicians wash and sanitize hands before setup, during glove changes, and after the service.
- Any linens or props used for contouring are laundered in hot water and sealed until the next appointment.
