The Tan Cabana is an award-winning, all-natural spray tanning salon based in Annapolis, Maryland and Jacksonville Beach, Florida, and our staff of professionally trained airbrush tan technicians are always here to answer any questions about spray tanning that our clients might have.
It's important to also answer those questions for our potential clients--possibly those girls and guys who might be feeling a bit hesitant about scheduling an airbrush tan at our Annapolis-based salon. Well, The Tan Cabana is here to debunk those myths right away! We are huge advocates for our spray tans, not only because we love what we do, but because airbrush tans are a HEALTHY and SAFE alternative to tanning beds and laying out in the sun, when skin cancer, wrinkles and sunspots are all regular occurrences from being overly exposed to the sun.
Here are 5 common myths about spray tanning that The Tan Cabana is about to debunk, so that you'll feel confident, excited and calm coming to visit us! (Schedule your Tan Cabana airbrush tan 24/7 online here!):
1. Spray tans will turn you orange, will go on unevenly, and will look unnatural.
NOT TRUE in any way! The Tan Cabana's all-natural, vegan, odorless spray tanning formula is specifically created to interact with your skin and darken it to a natural tan/brown hue. Our professional spray tanning technicians will do skin tests with you beforehand to analyze the melanin in your skintone and see how it interacts with our formula, and will discuss your desires regarding how dark of a tan you'd like. Then we use professional handheld sprayers to contour and apply your spray tan evenly all over, with special awareness of elbows, knees, feet, face and neck. No streaking, no missed spots, no dark spots--just a gorgeous, glowing spray tan all over! Custom, premier airbrush tanning at its finest.
2. Spray tans are expensive.
The Tan Cabana's spray tans are completely affordable, with many different options of application for your budgeting needs. First-time customers receive $10 off the total, and we offer several package options so that the more spray tans you buy at once, the more you save! We also offer group rates and specialized add-ons like our Anti-Aging Elixir and Shimmer Hydration Elixir to address every need you may have for your airbrush tan appointment.
3. Spray tans are not worth the money, because they don't last long.
The Tan Cabana's airbrush tans last an estimated 7 to 10 days, and there are many ways you can lengthen the spray tan by following our tips and using our Hydrating Extender daily. That's nearly two weeks, and if you schedule a spray tan with us twice a month (and buy our package of 5 spray tans at a discounted rate!), then you can be amazingly tan all year round for about $70/month!
4. Getting a spray tan before a huge event like a wedding or prom can be a huge disaster.
Absolutely not true here--not if you schedule with The Tan Cabana! We offer our Glowing Bride airbrush tan package for this very reason: it includes two airbrush tan appointments and a Shimmer Hydration Elixir add-on for the big day. Schedule your first tan with us to do a "trial"--you can see how the spray tan looks, how to preserve it, etc. before the big day of your event!
5. Spray tans are messy, awkward, and will result in stained clothing.
The Tan Cabana's spray tans will dry in minutes, and our professional technicians have been trained to create a peaceful, safe and pleasant atmosphere for each client. You have the option of going fully nude, wearing our small disposable thong, or even donning a dark-colored swimsuit for the spray tan appointment--we want YOU to be comfortable! We recommend that you wear loose-fitting, dark clothing after your appointment for twelve hours, until you take your first shower to wash off the temporary color and showcase your gorgeous, developed tan underneath!
