Look for a certificate from a recognised spray tan training provider, such as a 1 day accredited course. Ask how many clients they treat weekly. Check that they use a pop up tent, an HVLP spray gun, and fresh DHA stock with a printed batch date. Insurance for mobile work is a sign of a serious operator willing to share paperwork on request.
A full body session at home usually takes 20 to 30 minutes of spray time plus 10 to 15 minutes of drying. Add another 5 minutes for setup and 5 minutes for cleanup. Most appointments are booked in 1 hour slots. Larger areas like full legs and back add time. Plan for the technician to leave equipment on site for 15 minutes afterward.
Request a patch test 48 hours before a full session if you have sensitive skin or a history of contact allergies. DHA is considered safe for external use but can irritate broken skin, eyelids, and lips. Pregnant clients should consult their doctor first and avoid inhalation by ensuring proper room airflow during application.
Do not shower, sweat, or get wet for at least 8 hours after application. Wear loose cotton clothing and sleep on dark sheets. Avoid tight waistbands, bra straps, and hand sanitiser on tanned skin. After the first rinse, moisturise twice daily with a fragrance-free lotion to slow natural exfoliation.
Look for formal spray tan certification, a portfolio of before-and-after images, and proof of insurance covering cosmetic application at private homes. Ask how many clients they serve per week and which brands they have trained with. Reviews that mention even fade and minimal orange tones are a strong sign.
A standard full-body spray tan takes 20 to 30 minutes including setup. Allow 10 more minutes for drying before putting on loose dark clothing. The colour develops over 6 to 10 hours. Most sessions fit inside a 1-hour appointment window, so plan transport and clothing choices around that timeframe.
DHA is approved for cosmetic use but can irritate sensitive skin. Ask for a patch test 48 hours before the appointment, especially if you have eczema, psoriasis, or a history of contact dermatitis. Inhaled spray is a concern in small rooms, so a ventilated area or extractor fan is useful. Pregnant clients should get written clearance from a doctor before booking.
A well applied spray tan lasts 5 to 10 days on most skin types. Dry skin sheds faster, often within 4 days. Oily skin can hold the colour for 7 to 10 days. Hands and feet fade first because of frequent washing. A second light coat at day 5 can extend the look without buildup, especially before an event.
Price depends on solution strength, body area count, travel distance, and appointment timing. Full body usually costs more than half body. Evening or weekend slots add a fee. Mobile call outs beyond a set radius charge per kilometre. Group bookings for 2 or more people often get a reduced per person rate. Trial sessions cost less than main event bookings.
DHA concentration usually runs from 8% for a light glow up to 14% for a deep bronze. Technicians pick strength by skin tone, not just by request. Fair skin often takes 8% to 10%. Medium tones handle 10% to 12%. Deeper results need 12% to 14%. The developer mixing ratio also affects how dark the guide color looks on skin before showering.
