Spray tan trial - I’m orange

Lindsey, on January 22, 2021 at 3:18 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 5
I’ve never had a spray tan before, I usually tan myself at home because I have fair skin that does not naturally tan easily. I had a trial the other day and I’m orange. I’m confused because this was the most recommended place, best reviews, etc. I was expecting there to be some type of consult about shade and what not but the lady didn’t even ask... I’m wondering if I should call the salon about it? Or maybe spray tans just aren’t for me and I should plan to tan myself before the wedding...

    Definitely talk to the salon and get a refund.


    I'm pasty white, tons of freckles but never tan. However the best most natural sunless tanning lotion/spray I have tried is over the counter Neutrogena

    I would go back to the salon and see what they suggest. My cousin is super fair skin and has done spray tans. My sisters do their own self tanner...I personally wouldn’t trust myself doing it for my wedding but if you feel comfortable enough I’d try different types to see which you like best.

    I also suggest going back. Maybe you had an inexperienced person applying the tan. I’m very very pale but found a great place where spray tans turn out perfect. Ask for the most experienced person to do a redo.

    Definitely either go to another place or call to explain your situation to them. Tanning salons are supposed to mix the colors for you based on your skin tone. You probably need a more heavy green tone in there. I know green may sound crazy but with your face tone it’s going to cut down on the orange. I used to spend an unhealthy amount of money on spray tans. But now I just use my at home spray tan because I feel like depending on who’s doing your spray tan it’s either hit or miss sometimes.
