Welcome to Solar Connection Tanning Salon-home of the award winning, healthy, dark and sexy just off the beach sunless tanning color. No one knows more about getting and staying tan than we do.

It’s also about the satisfaction of knowing you are taking good care of your skin. Your skin is designed to tan as a natural body function. A tan is the body’s natural protection against sunburn. That is why we offer our members the choice to tan in one of our sunbeds as well as the option of our award winning UV free spray tanning.

Grey and gorgeous, you will never tell your age and your skin shouldn’t either. We can help you achieve the look of rejuvenated, beautiful skin with moisturizing ingredients to give you healthy-looking, hydrated skin.

Bride to be? White might be the most popular shade for your dress, but it is never the best shade for your skin. You and your bridal party will look stunning with your gorgeous new sunless spray tan.

Spray Tanning

The sunless scope starts with the world’s top celebrities, including athletes, VIP personnel, friends, family and neighbors. The sunless revolution has begun and in the past few years it has turned itself into a thriving, billion dollar industry. Since its introduction to the market in the early 1960’s, sunless products have evolved drastically. We create a "just of the beach" color while transforming the notions of "orange" and "odd" into "natural" and "hip". 

We are Master Certified from the best in the business to make sure we are up to date on every aspect of the sunless market, from technique, skin typing, and preparation and maintenance. We want our clients to feel and look their very best and a spray tan by Solar Connection will help you meet both of those goals. We are committed to making sure your sunless tan is so natural looking your friends will not believe you when you tell them it's a spray tan.

Spray Tanning Tips

Be tan in only one session! Great for formal events, vacations, weddings, homecoming, prom, reunions, beauty pageants or if you just want instant gratification!

WHAT IS AIRBRUSH TANNING?
 
Airbrush tanning is a fast and convenient way to achieve a beautiful natural looking tan in minutes.  We use an airbrush spray unit that dispenses a fine even mist over your entire body. The solution is odorless and completely safe!
 
HOW LONG DOES THE AIRBRUSH PROCESS TAKE?
 
It only takes 8 to 10 minutes for the technician to custom airbrush your entire body, then around 2 minutes to dry in front of a fan! The process is short, relaxing and fun!!
 
HOW LONG WILL MY AIRBRUSH TAN LAST?
 
Depending on your skin type and how you care for your skin your airbrush tan will last between 7 to 10 days. Your skin naturally exfoliates itself every 7 days.  If you moisturize and take care of your skin your tan will last longer.  Long hot baths or showers, prolonged exposure to chlorine, and tight clothing, will speed up the exfoliation process and as your skin “sheds” so does your tan.  Avoid Sweating immediately after your spray tanning session. Avoid activities that may cause you to sweat excessively to avoid streaking the cosmetic bronzer.  Use the air conditioning in your car on a hot day.  Avoid Water!  You must avoid water entirely for at least 4 hours or you will stop the tanning action of the DHA and/or cause streaking.  Avoid chemically treated swimming pools and spas for at least 24 hours after your spray session to prevent color from fading. For maximum results, wait at least 16 hours before showering or bathing.  After that time, we recommend Norvell Ambersun Hydrating Shower gel as your shower product.  Avoid using bar soaps or high pH products – they will strip and fade your tan rapidly.  Norvell’s body cleansers are designed to hydrate, moisturize and nourish while maintaining the proper pH levels for your skin.  Proper cleansing insures even fading and the longest lasting, most natural looking sunless results. After bathing, gently “pat dry” skin.  If you must bathe prior to the 16 hour process period use plain water only. The instant cosmetic bronzer will wash off – as it is designed to do and your color will stay!  The day after your first shower , use our “Life Lotion” at least once daily to extend the life of your tan by 50 to 75%. The “Life Lotion” is specially formulated to sustain the airbrush tan! We also offer “Glo” which will add a refreshing glow each day to your color! They also help your color fade gradually and evenly. Remember, Healthy Skin Tans Best!!
 
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY AIRBRUSH SESSION?
 
For best results, shower, shave and exfoliate your skin the night before your airbrush tanning session.  Also, the night before apply the best skin moisturizing lotion you have to hydrate your skin.  Healthy, moisturized skin always tans the best.  The day of your session do not apply lotions, oils, gels, perfumes, deodorants, or any other products (including makeup) that may create a barrier.  Showering with moisturizing soaps the day of is not recommended because they can cause a barrier that can inhibit the mist from adsorbing into your skin. Your technician will apply a pH balancing spray to your skin before your session. This ensures your skin has the perfect pH balance to accept the solution giving it the best color possible.  When your skins pH is out of balance it causes your skin to dry out causing your airbrushed tan to wear off quickly and unevenly.  The balancing spray we use is an extra step we take to ensure you receive the best color possible. After your session, you will want to wear loose clothing to allow the solution ample time to react with the amino acids in your skin. The longer you wait to shower, the darker your tan will be.
 
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR DURING MY AIRBRUSH SESSION AND AFTER?
 
If you are a woman, you may wear lingerie, a bathing suit, or opt for no tan lines at all. We also offer disposable undergarments available for purchase in the salon. If you are a man we require that you wear something such as a bathing suit, underwear or a Speedo.
 
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AIRBRUSH TANNING AND APPLYING CREAMS OR LOTIONS MYSELF AT HOME?
 
Even with the greatest care and help from a friend you cannot get to all the places on your body. You cannot duplicate the evenness and natural look of an airbrushed tan custom applied to your body and skin type by a professional technician.
 
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AIRBRUSH TANNING AND "SPRAY BOOTHS"
 
Basically, the end result is the difference!  Spray booths spray everywhere, without regard to areas needing special consideration resulting in inconsistent tans, often splotchy, streaky and usually with the “oranginess” that is often associated with self tanning creams and lotions. Booths also utilize an alcohol based solution that dries out your skin. The result of Spray Booths do not compare to an expertly applied custom tan by a trained and certified technician.
