Wild About Tan only use Vani-T Solution which we consider to be the best!  Not only is it vegan and paraban free but it is such a natural colour that no-one will believe it is a spray tan.  Ssh! Your secret is safe with us!

Just let your Wild About Tan professional know on the day what kind of look you are going for and they will mix you a special cocktail of tan especially for you!

It’s potentially one of the most expensive outfits you will ever wear, and so it’s natural to be concerned that the tan will rub off onto your dress or shirt collar. Thankfully the quality of Wild About Tan’s chosen solution Vani-T allows peace of mind for your big day.

We always recommend you have a pre-wedding test, our clients often have a trial in line with their hen/stag do or make up trial. Then wear fitted white garments the day and two days after your tan so you can gauge how soon before your wedding you wish to be tanned. It’s all about the organisation!

If you are still looking for your perfect wedding dress, then we have a recommendation for you! Shade Bridal is the best of the best and we could highly recommend checking out their website here to learn more.

The only thing you will have to worry about is mopping up hubby or wifey’s happy tears when they see that they are onto a bronzed winner with their choice of partner for life.

Wild About Tan operate a process to protect those gorgeous talons of yours before and after your tan, so it doesn’t really matter, however, we would suggest your tan is the last beauty treatment you have. Don’t worry, the spray tan will not fade or affect your nails at all.

Most of our clients choose to wear something on their bottom half to preserve modesty (g-strings, brazilian pants etc are a-okay!), but some women choose to be naked to avoid that gorgeous little white line! However we would prefer if men were covered at all times; we’ve seen it all before but we feel this is best for our clients and expert tanners comfort. But the same rules apply, guys if you want to wear a g-string then go right ahead!

If you have never had a spray tan before, it can feel a bit alien on your skin (like a body butter), you may be concerned about it rubbing off and ruining it.

However, if you have had a Wild Spray Tan before, you will most likely be astonished about how light it feels on your skin as well as how dry it is and that you can just crack on with your day as normal. School pick up, lunch with friends, weekly grocery shop, it’s all completely do-able. We just recommend you wear loose dark clothes after, and if it’s raining, cover up and use an umbrella. Simples!

The sensible answer is anything loose and dark. The stylish answer is a maxi-dress, playsuit or kaftan. In any case, please don’t wear leggings, roll necks, long sleeved tight tops or hiking boots. Seriously. This is no laughing matter… unless you like the pattern of your clothes on your skin for the next week or so…

With our online booking service, you pay a small deposit to secure your booking and pay the remainder to the professional on the day.

We have kept everything super simple for them and you, no faffing about with cash if you don’t tend to carry it.

For you regular tanners, we have subscriptions to suit you which gives you discounts on every tan and the pennies come straight from your account every month (until you cancel it). That way you just book your appointment online and enjoy your tan. Even less hassle if that were even possible!

Our service is elite and we believe our professionals deserve to be paid accordingly.

Thankfully, this doesn’t mean we are expensive. Infact we know many companies who charge more than us for a salon spray tan.

What we do offer is a free celebratory gift for bookings of 4 or more in a tan party. You can choose between a bottle of fizz to mark the occasion, or a bottle of gradual tan Vani-T Custard, perfect to top up that tan on the honeymoon and after!

For best results, please exfoliate 12 hours before and don’t apply moisturiser before we get there as it creates a barrier.

Please refrain from wearing perfume and deodorant, and remove all jewellery. For more details on this head over to our Top Tan Tips page!

If there are certain parts of your body you don’t need tanned or you feel it would benefit from a lighter look, our professionals are trained to get it just right for you.

For my big day I left my face tan free entirely, a light mist from my neck down, making sure my back was looking lush as I had a backless dress. 

I wanted to look as natural as possible for my big day, I wanted my make up to glide on flawlessly, so I enlisted the help of Wendy at The Lakes Beauty Room in West Bridgford. She always recommends Microdermabrasion and regular exfoliation to achieve the perfect bridal skin. What she doesn’t know about skin isn’t worth knowing.

Well, honestly, it’s all about the prep!

You may wish to indulge in some proper skin treatments on the run up to your big day. 

Whether its dermaplaning, facials or even aesthetics, we suggest you chat to Lucy at La Sante House in West Bridgford about all your Big Day skin needs.

Flawless skin equals flawless tans btw. Just saying. 

Ah, the ‘how long is a piece of string’ question. This can depend on a number of situ’s. If you have prepped well with exfoliation prior to your tan and wear loose clothing afterwards your tan should last at least 7 days.

However to extend this you will need to follow our aftercare guidelines. This means avoiding oil-based products when showering and moisturising combined with a body polish on day 4-5: in the past our clients have kept their tan for up to 14 days!

The average is 7-10 days with it fading from your face and hands first as these are used and abused most (washing hands, make up remover). Remember though, we offer fabulous top up products so you don’t have to worry about that at all.

We stock a number of products aimed at extending the life of your spray tan as well as topping it up. If you’re interested in finding out more, just check our online shop! We’ll also talk you through top tips on how to use them for the best and longest lasting tan possible over on Insta.

Part of the routine I enjoy most about my glorious shower is stepping out smelling gorgeous and fresh. Let’s be honest though, we have very little time in our busy lives, do we want to be skipping that one luxurious shower experience because we are scared of washing away our tan with the wrong products. Just water is so naff, so please feel free to use your normal shower gel, but one that’s not too oily!

There are no two ways about this, you MUST wax or shave before your spray tan, not after. If you can do it 12 hours or more before that would also be fantastic. We don’t want any invisible barrier left on your skin now do we?

Sometimes we just have to shave a little on those stubborn, fast growing areas after our tan but bare in mind that when you are shaving, you are effectively shaving the first layer of your skin and that’s exactly where the tan is resting.

If you really must, please do not dry shave, use a hydrating shaving gel/cream and a sharp blade softly so you don’t have to go over and over the same area.

As you will read everywhere, for the first trimester of pregnancy, you are advised not to sneeze ‘just in case’…so we follow suit and recommend that you wait until this early stage has passed to indulge in a spray tan.

There are absolutely no studies/research to suggest that spray tanning is in any way harmful. Still, this isn’t good enough for Wild About Tan, which is why we go one step further and use only organic based products. We truly care about what you put on your skin and in your body in general. Nothing but the best for our clients.

It is also pertinent to note though, your spray tan can be affected by hormones, particularly during pregnancy as you’re going through a lot of changes. It may come out slightly lighter or darker than normal. Of course it may be exactly as you expect it to be as well, we just need you to know this is a possibility.
