Question 1

What’s your cancellation & rescheduling policy?

Accepted Answer

We love seeing your faces, and we work hard to fit everyone in without ever rushing your glow. That’s why we ask that you cancel or reschedule at least 12 hours before your appointment. Miss this window and a $50 cancellation fee may apply.

There are no exceptions for sickness, travel, or anything else—we apply this policy fairly to everyone. Bronzed and fair is the motto.

The good news? We make rescheduling easy. You can cancel or move your appointment directly through your confirmation text/email or through our online booking system.

And here’s the business-y part: our policy is actually more flexible (and lower-cost) than most studios in DC. Respecting it helps us keep delivering top-tier tans forever.

Question 2

What happens if I'm late?

Accepted Answer

Life happens—we get it. But if you’re 10 minutes late or more, we may need to squeeze you in between other appointments, and wait times vary. If you choose not to wait, the $40 late-cancel fee still applies.

Question 3

How long will my appointment take?

Accepted Answer

The tan itself takes 15–20 minutes, but we block 30–45 minutes to cover intake, questions, and checkout. We like hanging with you — what can we say?

Question 4

When should I schedule my wedding trial tan?

Accepted Answer

Oooooh the big day! We love it. To keep things stress-free and nail your perfect photo-ready color, schedule your wedding trial (or any special event trial) at least 2 weeks before the event. More time is even better — it gives us room to tweak your shade to perfection and lets the trial tan fully exfoliate before your final application. (You’d be surprised how long our tans last!)

Question 5

What should I do before my spray tan session?

Accepted Answer

Glow prep is key!

—Stop using Dove or ANY wash with sulfates, parabens, or mineral oils.
—Exfoliate (oil-free only!) at least 4 hours before your appointment.
—Shower, shave, and exfoliate 12–24 hours beforehand so your pores close.
—Do ALL beauty services first—nails, waxing, facials, massages (ideally the day before).
—Show up in loose, comfy clothes; you don’t mind getting bronzed.

Question 6

When can I shower after my spray tan?

Accepted Answer

Avoid ALL moisture until your first rinse — no workouts, showers, sweating, lotions, deodorant, dishwashing… nothing. Your tan artist will guide your exact rinse time:

—Rapid Tan: Rinse in 1–4 hours
—Classic Tan: Rinse in 8–12 hours
—Never wait more than 24 hours to shower

Your first rinse:
Just a gentle, warm-water rinse. Use your hands only. No soap.

After that:
Avoid loofahs, bar soap, hot water, harsh scrubs, and rubbing with a towel. Pat dry. Love your skin gently.

Question 7

How long does a spray tan last?

Accepted Answer

Most tans last 5–7 days, but with great aftercare, you can stretch that glow up to 12 days. Yes, really.

Question 8

What do I wear during my spray tan?

Accepted Answer

For the gals: Wear whatever makes you comfortable—nude, undies, bathing suit, or use our disposable bikinis, stick-on bras, or pasties. We’ve always got you covered… literally.

For the guys: A bottom covering (briefs/boxers) is required.

Question 9

What do I wear after my spray tan?

Accepted Answer

Bring loose-fitting clothes to change into right after your spray tan. Think comfy and breathable — maxi dresses, loungewear, pj’s, or your boyfriend’s clothes (seriously!). Avoid denim, strappy pieces, yoga pants, tight bras, or tight underwear. Flip-flops are a great choice too.

To avoid tan lines, we recommend going braless until after your first shower.

Question 10

Will I be orange?

Accepted Answer

How can we put this lightly? H-E-L-L NO! We custom-mix every formula to make sure your tan looks as natural as possible.

Orange tans happen from bad application, bad color mixing, or improper skincare before or after your session. Follow our prep and aftercare, and you’ll always be your perfect shade of bronze. Guaranteed

Question 11

How long will it take my tan to fully develop?

Accepted Answer

Most tans require 24 hours to fully develop, but in rare cases it can take up to 48 hours. Please trust the process!

Question 12

Can I still tan in the sun with my spray tan?

Accepted Answer

Great question! You absolutely can, but spray tans offer zero UV protection—so don’t forget your SPF.

Question 13

Can I spray tan while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Good question, mama. In short—yes, you can, but like any elective service during pregnancy, there are a few precautions.

DHA binds to the surface of the skin and isn’t significantly absorbed into the bloodstream, so topical application isn’t considered harmful. Most experts consider self-tanning products safe during pregnancy, but it’s best to avoid inhaling the mist since the effects of that aren’t well-studied.

At EuroBronze, every room uses triple filtration, and we offer nose filters and face masks if you’d like extra protection. They’re optional, but many moms-to-be prefer the peace of mind.

We still recommend checking with your doctor first and waiting until after your first trimester—it’s the most sensitive stage. Otherwise, we’re here to give you a little bit of your glow back!

Question 14

What’s the deal with parking?

Accepted Answer

There’s no studio parking lot because #citylife, but there’s plenty of free 2-hour street parking on the surrounding residential blocks. Check 33rd Street (parallel to Wisconsin) or Volta, Q, or Reservoir Rd.—all just a block away. You can also park on parts of Wisconsin Ave before 4pm and after 6:30pm. Plan a little extra time… and consider it a great excuse to wander Georgetown!
