Frequently asked questions about spray tanning
The most popular service is a full-body Premium spray tan for 150 PLN, and Standard is also available for 130 PLN. You can also choose a half-body tan if you want to even out your colour. See the spray tan price list.
Premium includes the PrimeGlow® base, which hydrates the skin and improves the result and longevity. The Standard option is spray tanning without that prep. Both services include professional shade and intensity matching and use the same tanning mists.
My studio is at Lipowa 66 in Boleń, just north of Krakow’s city limit. From Prądnik Biały, Bronowice and Nowa Huta the drive usually takes 10–15 minutes, and you always have a free parking spot 2 metres from the entrance. Find out how to get here.
Many of my clients from Krakow and the surrounding areas make spray tanning a permanent part of their monthly routine, seeing me every two weeks. It is important, however, to do a thorough exfoliation before a new mist is applied, to remove remnants of the previous tan. For a flawless result, you should not have visible traces of an earlier tan.
Absolutely. As an expert, I always match the shade and intensity of the solution individually to your phototype. For fair skin I usually recommend a softer result, but if you want, we can also experiment with deeper shades.
The secret to a flawless tan is properly prepared skin. Remember to avoid hair removal for 24 hours before the treatment, and the day before do a thorough, oil-free scrub. On the day of your visit your skin should be completely free of lotions, antiperspirants and perfumes so the tan covers the whole body evenly.
This is a myth I take great pleasure in busting every day! A properly applied spray tan eliminates the risk of artificial orange tones. Even if your complexion tends towards redness, my formulas with cool bases perfectly neutralize unwanted warm reflections.
While drugstore self-tanners often leave your skin feeling tight and parched, the professional solutions I use work entirely differently. A pre-tan prep spray creates the perfect hydrating base to prevent dryness, while the nourishing ingredients packed into the tanning formulas actively condition and feed your skin.
My golden rule is simple: moisturize, moisturize, and moisturize some more. Steer clear of scalding hot baths, frequent shaving, and body care products loaded with silicones or mineral oils. A simple, lightweight lotion applied morning and night is all it takes to keep your tan looking fresh for days.
If you are planning to go out the same day, tell me. We will choose a solution and shower timing to get the best result in the shortest time — for example after 1–2 hrs. Remember, though, that the full effect only appears after a full 24 hours. So before a big night out it is best to plan your spray tan one or two days ahead.
You can arrive in whatever you like, but it’s crucial to bring dark, loose-fitting clothes for your journey home. After your session, you'll want to skip your bra and any other tight garments that could rub against your skin and smudge the developing tan.
This is hands down one of my favorite benefits of the treatment! A spray tan acts like a real-life Instagram filter for your body. It brilliantly evens out your skin tone and optically smooths your skin, effortlessly camouflaging spider veins and minor bruising. You instantly look healthier and more radiant.
Yes, gentlemen frequently visit my studio before summer holidays, fitness competitions, or important events. I can seamlessly adapt my technique to discreetly enhance muscle definition or camouflage minor skin imperfections.
I work exclusively with innovative formulas where that notorious scent has been neutralized to the absolute minimum. Solutions infused with coconut water mask it so effectively that it is undetectable.
