Spray Tanning
I'm sure this has already been asked before, but there isn't a post that addresses this in my recent memory...
Anyone know of a really good spray tan place to go before the wedding? I woiuld like to try the airbrushing tans instead of the tanning booths (for the booths I only use VersaSpa, everything else turns me orange). I've never had an airbrush tan, so if anyone has had an experience with them please let me know. I just want some color without looking orange.
Ok, and just as a rant, does anyone else get frustrated with the whole tanning thing? I just want a little color, but my wedding is in March. I think people that look overly tan in the winter months look ridiculous. Almost all my bridesmaids are from the South they are going to fry themselves in tanning beds before my wedding. Sometimes they end up looking like they rolled in cheese doritos....
Re: Spray Tanning
I had a spray tan done for my Bridal shower, I don't think it was considered Airbrush but it wasn't in a booth either, the esthetician did it. I think it turned out fantastic. I have to say the first 2 days I was rather worried about it but by Saturday it was perfect! I wasn't orange at all. They did offer different stages of color though too, I think I may have done a mixture. I would recommend going before the wedding and trying it out it see if you like it.
I also agree about the over tanning for the season. I'm opting to not get the spray tan for the wedding. I'm too paranoid of it rubbing of on my dress. Note: I did not have a problem with this for my Birdal Shower. However, with wearing Ivory that may be a different story. I plan on just jumping in a tanning bed a few times before the wedding. It takes me forever to tan so it won't change much!

I really wouldn't mind a few tanning sessions before the wedding, but to date I have had over 8 bioposies done to remove suspicious skin cells. 8 out of 9 turned out abnormal. Two of those were extremely abnormal and periliously close to skin cancer. So no tanning bed for me.
Heb- That is what I was looking for- someone to spray me rather than a booth. Where did you have it done?
So my tanning bed experiences= painful and expensive procedures
I think that is why I get so frustrated with girls from back home who go to the tanning bed every single day. Literally. It not only looks bad to be that fried, but it is truly dangerous. I have had people from my hometown tell me I need to go tan to "get some color' for the wedding. So I show them my scars. Shuts them up pretty quick.
I got a spray tan for my wedding at Tan 360 in Shadyside. It was reasonably priced and it looked decent. I got my first tan about 30 days before the wedding, to see how it faded and how many days out I should get one.
The tan did look slightly orange for the first day and started to spot on the 10th day, so when I went for my wedding, I went about 7 days out, so for the rehearsal dinner and wedding it looked natural. I got married at the end of September, and I didn't feel like I was over colored...just evenly colored (I had tan lines from the summer).
I didn't have any rub off of me on the rehearsal day or the wedding day, because I did the trial run. Also, my Mom uses the Jergen's self tanner. I haven't had success with it (I'm really quite pale), but she is slightly darker than me and has had great success with it.
