Flawless Tan, Zero Streaks
A professional spray tan should look natural, feel comfortable and fade without patchiness. At AMMO Hair and Beauty in Maclean, we customise depth and undertone to suit your complexion, occasion and after-care commitment.
Before any solution touches the skin, we run through prep steps that clear oils and create an even canvas, helping colour develop smoothly. Our technicians use controlled, fine-mist equipment, ensuring coverage across tricky areas like elbows and ankles while avoiding heavy build-up on drier zones.
Solutions are fast-drying, low-odour and enriched with hydrating ingredients, so you can dress sooner and skip the sticky feeling often linked with self-application. Development time is discussed upfront, whether you need a rapid rinse for an event tonight or a traditional eight-hour develop for deeper tone. Expect a sun-kissed result that complements rather than masks your skin.

Tanning That Stands Out
Perfect colour is a mix of product quality, precise application and the right home care. Here’s how we keep tans looking fresh from day one to fade out:
- Prep Guidelines: Exfoliate 24 hours prior and avoid heavy moisturisers on application day.
- Application Control: Fine-mist nozzles and multiple spray angles ensure even coverage.
- Development Options: We offer a range of solutions with different rinse times to suit your schedule.
- Even Wear-Off: Fine-tuned application helps reduce patching and uneven fade.
- Maintenance Plan: Moisturising advice and gentle wash routines extend wear.
Follow these steps and your tan will fade evenly, with minimal patching or streaking. Book online for a streamlined visit and leave with a finish that suits you!
How long does a spray tan typically last?
Most professional spray tans hold their best colour for five to seven days before gradually fading. Longevity depends on skin preparation, post-tan care and individual skin turnover. Regular moisturising with a lightweight, oil-free lotion will slow exfoliation and keep colour even.
Avoiding long hot baths, chlorinated pools and exfoliating scrubs helps preserve the tan. When fading becomes noticeable, gentle exfoliation prepares the skin for a fresh application without buildup.
Can I shower immediately after my appointment?
That depends on the solution used. Rapid-rinse formulas allow a shower after one to three hours, while traditional solutions require six to eight hours before rinsing. The first rinse should be lukewarm and product-free to set colour without stripping developing pigment.
After the initial rinse, pat skin dry and apply a light, hydrating lotion. Full soap use and vigorous washing are best left until the next day to protect colour depth.
Will a spray tan protect my skin from the sun?
A cosmetic tan offers no UV protection. Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), the colouring agent in professional solutions, stains dead skin cells but does not affect melanin or SPF levels. You will still need to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen when exposed to sunlight.
Choose a lightweight, non-oil formulation to avoid accelerating fade or causing patchiness. Regular sunscreen use, along with balanced hydration, keeps both skin health and tan appearance at their best.
