Does anybody know a good place to get a spray tan?? i want to get 1 but i'm soo afraid of being orange and streaky...  if i can find a good place now, i'd much rather spray tan than use a tanning bed before my big day.. :)

    I swear by Mystic Tans! If you go to their website you can search for nearby salons. I have done it several times and always get a natural glow that is never streaky. My only words of caution are this! First, be sure to exfoliate really well before you go. Before you go do not put anything on your skin (no lotion, no make-up, nothing). I'd do it a few times before the big day to practice. At the salon they will give you barrier lotion to put on your nails, feets, etc...anywhere you don't want the tan to stick. Once you do it a few times you'll learn which parts of your body are drier and need a thin layer of lotion. For me, it was my feet and hands. I get so many compliments on my tan everytime I do it. In fact, the only time somoene ever accused me of having a fake bake was when I got "Your tan looks so perfect it can't be real!". Hope that helps Smile

    If you are close to the South Hills try bronzed and polished salon.  A girl sprays you and uses a dryer then applies another coat if you want to go darker.  http://bronzedandpolishedsalon.com/

    I'm 1/4 albino I swear so they are the only tan I can get.  Both mystic and the bronzed and polished are around $30.  They last 5 days and then you start to notice areas that are wearing off.  If im away I take some neutrogena spray.  Don't do what I did and get a pedi after your spray tan, I don't know what I was thinking. Exfoliate really well before you go and you will look awesome!

    I had an airbrush tan done 3 days before my wedding.  Kate Marshall from Airbrushingbeauty personally applied the spray.  It stayed really well and looked like a natural sun kissed glow.

    It was $35 for her to apply.  She lives in Mars, PA, but will travel :)
