SPRAY TAN

The KYSS booth by Mystic Tan is the latest in UV-free tanning technology. It uses Mystic Tan’s patented MagnaTan technology and sweeping airbrush motion to give each client a perfectly uniform tan in under 5 minutes.

The booth works with individual single-use tanning cartridges giving our clients the freedom to choose one of our clear, dark or venetian bronzing solutions. There is a heater in the unit to keep you warm and comfortable during the session as well as assist in drying the solution. 

We offer the following options:

PACKAGE PRICE PRICE PER SESSION
1 session $45 $45
5 sessions $200 $40
10 sessions $350 $35
30 days unlimited $135  ---
  • Barrier cream, hairnets, and neat feet are included in our price.
  • 30 days unlimited is 30 days from date of first use, not from the date of purchase.
  • 5 and 10 Session Spray packages can be shared, and are valid for 1 year,

Note: Although we use the mystic tan machine for it's technology, we don't use their solution. We use our preferred bronzing solution, Norvell, which gives the most natural (anti-brass) colour.

When Should I Spray Tan?
Spray tans look their very best at the 24–48 hour mark, so we recommend tanning 1 to 2 days before your event. This gives your tan time to fully develop and settle into your skin. We do NOT recommend tanning for same-day events because spray tans and self tans (even rapids) are not fully developed until 24 hours after application, and tanning too far in advance may result in uneven fading.

Example: If your event is on Saturday, we recommend tanning Thursday night or Friday morning.

If this is for a special event, do all of your hair removal, manicures/pedicures, lash extensions, etc, 24-48 hours before your appointment. Why? Hair removal can strip your spray tan. Acetone, lotion, and massage oils at nail appointments can cause a barrier if on your skin at the time of your spray tan, and can act as an exfoliant to your spray tan after development. Lash extension adhesives must remain dry for 24-48hrs after application.

Keep in mind that your rinse time is 8-10 hours after application, so plan your appointment accordingly based on your work/exercise/sleep schedule!

Spray Tan Preparation
Exfoliate: Start prepping 12–24 hours before your appointment. Use a rough mitt or dry brush to exfoliate thoroughly. Avoid exfoliating too close to your appointment — your skin needs time to “calm down”.

Hair Removal: Complete shaving, waxing, or sugaring 12–24 hours before your spray. Avoid hair removal after your tan for 48–72 hours to prevent fading/stripping the colour.

Shower Tips: Use a gentle, pH-balancing body wash (fragrance-free feminine washes like Summer’s Eve or Vagisil work well). Avoid Dove, Bath & Body Works, or products with oils or sulfates, as they can block your tan from developing evenly.

No Products on Skin: Arrive with bare skin—no lotion, makeup, perfume, deodorant, or essential oils. These can interfere with the tanning solution and may cause patchiness or color distortion.

What to Wear: Wear loose, dark clothing and easy footwear (slides, Crocs, UGGs) to prevent rubbing. Tight clothing can cause smudging or streaks.

Prepare at Home: If you pick a solution colour with a guide bronze, cosmetic colour may rub off on your clothes or your sheets until your first rinse! Plan ahead with an old sheet, old towels, and darker clothing.

Spray Tan Tips
Rinse Timing: Let your tan develop for 8–10 hours. Use the chart above for reference. If you shower too soon, your spray may not fully develop, and may not develop evenly. If you leave you spray on past your rinse time, you’ll have more risk of your spray tan overdeveloping or being “brassy”, and causing skin dryness, which can lessen the “life” of the tan.

During Development: Stay cool and dry. Avoid sweating, humidity, tight clothing, sweaty workouts, or rain. Plan a ride if the weather isn’t ideal!

First Rinse: Rinse with lukewarm water only—no soap, shampoo, scrubbing, or hot water. Pat dry with a towel. You’ll see cosmetic bronzer rinse off — this is normal and your tan is still developing underneath! Remember: spray tans look their best at the 24-48hr mark, so your spray isn’t at the peak development after your rinse – have patience!

Spray Tan Do's and Don'ts
✅ DO:

  • Moisturize daily, starting 24 hours after your tan.
  • Use sulfate-free, mineral oil-free lotion (we love the original scent-free Aveeno).
  • Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.

❌ DON’T:

  • Use Dove, Bath & Body Works, or oil-based products.
  • Exfoliate or shave for 48–72 hours post-tan.
  • Soak in hot baths, swim in salt water or chlorine, or use steam rooms — these can strip your tan much faster!
  • Use retinols, acids (AHA/BHA), or exfoliating skincare for at least 24 hours after tanning.

How Long Will It Last?
Your tan can last 4–10 days depending on your skin type (your amino acids and pH balance), prep ahead of your appointment, and lifestyle. More active clients may see 4–7 days, while more sedentary clients may enjoy up to 10+ days. Our bodies do not naturally shed skin in a uniform way, so remember that your spray tan will not fade evenly.

Spray tans often fade faster at:

  • Joints (elbows, knees)
  • Areas of friction (bra straps, leggings)
  • High sweat zones (armpits)

What Colour Should I Get?
We use Norvell spray tan solution in the Mystic booth. You can choose from the following shades


“Light” Level 1) Norvell Clear Solution: Will result in a natural looking glow – did they go away? Did they get a spray? Keep everyone guessing! This solution is applied clear, with no “guide bronze” or instant cosmetics, so you will see no sign of a spray tan as you leave your appointment. Depending on your skin’s amino acids/pH balance, you may not see a change in your colour for up to 8 hours, when you do your first rinse. Final colour development will be visible at the 24hr mar.

“Medium” Level 2) Norvell Dark Bronze Solution: Will result in a medium-to-dark “off the beach colour”. This is a warm caramel bronze, and this solution is applied with a “guide bronze” – you’ll see a cosmetic bronze when you leave the booth, though this is not your final colour depth or tone. If comparing to an at-home self tanner, this is a “green base”.

“Dark” Level 3) Norvell Venetian Bronze Solution: Will result in a dark “off the yacht” colour – the undertone in this makes the colour develop to be a cooler European Mediterranean colour. It’s still bronze, but a more olive or cocoa colour, like you just got off someone’s boat on the Amalfi coast! This solution is applied with a “guide bronze” – you’ll see a cosmetic bronze when you leave the booth, though this is not your final colour depth or tone. If comparing to an at-home self tanner, this is a “purple base”.

“Darker” Level 4) Norvell Double-Dark Bronze Solution: Will result in a deep dark tan that resembles how you would appear after weeks of tanning or “off the beach colour”. This colour is a very deep caramel, and is not recommended for all skin types. This solution is applied with a “guide bronze” – you’ll see a cosmetic bronze when you leave the booth, though this is not your final colour depth or tone. If comparing to an at-home self tanner, this is a “green base”.
