Spray tanning involves applying an active ingredient, Dihydroxyacetone, or DHA, to your skin using a specialist low pressure spraying machine.

DHA is a colourless sugar. It interacts with the proteins and amino acids in the outer layer of your skin to produce a golden brown colour.

You will be sprayed with a lightly coloured solution of DHA, but the actual tan takes 6-8 hours to develop and the lightly coloured solution will wash off when showering. Your therapist will tell you how long to wait until you can bathe or shower.

Therapists and specialist have tested and used our products over the past 4 years. As well as active DHA, our retail products are enriched with aloe vera, and other natural top quality ingredients to actively moisturise and nourish you skin. Our tanning solutions even have fantastic fragrance and you can feel like you are actually soaking up the rays, drinking a poolside cocktail.

YES! It is much safer than exposing your skin to the sun's rays and you still get that great tanned look. No adverse affects have been reported other than minor skin irritations on allergic people. Allergic reactions are extremely rare but if you have previously experienced allergic reactions to self-tanning or other beauty products please arrange a skin patch test first with your therapist.

Remember, with a sunless tan, there’s NO risk of sunburn, peeling, sunstroke or sun-related skin diseases.

Your tan will last approximately 7 days depending upon your skin care routine and lifestyle. A sunless tan fades just like a tan from the sun. As your skin sheds dead cells your tan will fade. So the key is to moisturise with SiennaX moisturiser daily (available on our products page) Also available is our unique SiennaX Make it moist, Make it last DHA rich tan top up moisturiser, which will help maximise the life of your tan.

Yes, you can do both if you choose, but you need to remember that a spray tan does not give you any protection from the sun's ultraviolet light. For outdoor tanning it is advisable to use a sunscreen with an SPF of 20 or more. Remember that the sun dries your skin out, reducing the longevity of your spray tan

Everywhere you look there are promises of a smooth, flawless professional tan, but only one treatment can truly deliver: the spray tan by a therapist. Why?

Misting booths mean you have to contort your body within the booth to cover each area. One wrong twist by you can spell a double spraying (extra colour) or no spray (no colour). Neither you nor the booth has any control over where the product ends up, and how your tan will look.

Hand application often results in streaky colouration. If it's you that's doing the application, not only will you probably get stained hands, but it's very difficult to get the application where you want it, especially on your back, or to see where you've already applied it.

Mobile spray tanning with a quality product, and done by a trained therapist, gives you a precision tan, applied smoothly and equally. Special care can be given to problem areas such as knees, elbows, hair and blemishes.

Giving you a tan to be proud of.

On your very first tanning session, your therapist will ask you a number of questions and then fill in a consultation card for you.

Then your therapist will give you a few minutes to get undressed (or change into your underwear) and remove your jewellery.

Next a barrier cream will be applied to your hands, the tops of your feet and any dry areas to prevent them from tanning too much.

The spraying will take about 15 minutes or so, plus an additional few minutes to dry. For your spraying, you will be asked to stand in a tanning cubicle to ensure the spray goes on your skin, not into the air.

We are experienced and qualified in Sienna X spray tanning and will explain what is happening at each stage.

During your treatment you will see a golden/bronze colour on your skin. This is a guide for the therapist to see whilst spraying. Your tan will develop over the next few hours into a gorgeous sunless tan. Some of the guide colour may wash off during your initial shower.

NO. It's entirely up to you. If you don't want to get naked, we suggest you wear old dark underwear or a swimsuit/bikini that you don't mind staining. Although the tanning solution may stain it will usually wash out with a normal wash cycle. We stock disposable underwear available for 50p each.

There are different strengths of DHA and we will advise you of the best one for your skin tone, bearing in mind how dark you want to go. The darker you tan naturally, the darker you will tan with a spray tan.

Some people like to keep a year-round light golden tan, but if you want a really deep, dark and longer-lasting tan, we suggest you book a double-exposure treatment. Simply book a second tanning appointment for within 48 hours of your first appointment.

Wear loose fitting dark coloured clothing and flip flops as some of the bronzer can rub off on your clothing and shoes can cause your feet to perspire, affecting the final results. Natural fibres like 100% cotton T-shirts, sweats and baggies are best. Any colour that does rub off on your clothes can usually be washed out during a normal wash cycle. Bear in mind that any materials have the potential to stain.

Fake tanning has come a long way since the early days. Better solutions, machines, training and spray tan technology virtually eliminate these issues. We are trained and experienced in producing non-streaky tans and we will ensure that the right solution is chosen for your colouring. We have a selection of beautiful Sienna X colours to choose from for a natural sun-kissed look and long-lasting results.

Women who are in their first trimester of pregnancy, anyone who is allergic to self-tan or who has breathing difficulties. If in any doubt or if you have any further questions, please contact us before your appointment.
