Personalized Spray Tanning in Lakewood, Colorado

Snazzy Tanz is a locally owned, woman-owned tanning salon in Lakewood, Colorado, and spray tanning is one of the services our clients ask about most. Owner Beth Shull brings more than 30 years of industry experience to every appointment, and our Smart Tan-certified staff take time to match your shade, answer your questions and help first-timers feel at ease. Every session happens in a clean, private room with a hand-held airbrush, so the color goes exactly where it should.

Spray tanning gives you color without UV exposure, which makes it a smart choice before weddings, vacations, photos and big nights out. Many clients pair it with UV tanning to build a base, or add red light therapy for a full wellness visit under one roof. Our salon was voted Best Tanning Salon in community awards for both 2024 and 2025. Whatever the occasion, our goal is a natural, even glow that looks like you.

  • Custom shade matching for every skin tone
  • Airbrush application by certified staff
  • Double-Dipping for deeper, longer color
  • Rapid Tans when your schedule is tight

Lasting Color

How long does a spray tan last in Colorado's dry climate?

A professional spray tan typically lasts around a week, and often longer with good care. Colorado's dry, high-altitude air can make skin flake faster, so daily hydration is the biggest factor in keeping your color even from the first day to the last.

Exfoliate the day before your appointment, skip heavy lotions on the day and wear loose, dark clothing to your visit. After your rinse, moisturize morning and night and pat dry after showers instead of rubbing. For extra staying power, ask about Double-Dipping, which adds a second layer for deeper, longer-lasting color. Avoid long, hot showers, swimming and heavy sweating during the first few days, since they can speed up fading.

How should I prepare for my first spray tan?

Good prep makes a visible difference. Shower and exfoliate the day before your visit, and finish any shaving or waxing ahead of time so your skin is smooth and calm. On the day of your appointment, arrive with clean skin free of lotion, deodorant, perfume and makeup. Bring loose, dark clothing and sandals for the trip home. If it is your first spray tan, tell us, and we will walk you through every step before we begin.

What is the difference between Double-Dipping and Rapid Tans?

Double-Dipping and Rapid Tans solve two different problems. Double-Dipping applies two layers of solution in one visit, giving you a deeper shade and color that tends to last longer, which is ideal for vacations and events. Rapid Tans use an express, fast-acting formula, so you can rinse much sooner than with a standard spray tan and get on with your day. Not sure which fits? Our team will recommend the right option for your goals and timeline.

Spray Tan Options Built Around Your Glow

Every spray tan at Snazzy Tanz starts with a conversation about your skin, your schedule and the result you want. From classic airbrush color to express formulas and extra-deep layers, we offer options for first-timers and regulars alike. Here is a closer look at our spray tanning services and the guidance we share before and after your visit.

Classic Glow
Airbrush Tanning

Our airbrush spray tans are applied by hand with a fine mist, letting our certified staff control coverage area by area. The technique creates smooth, even color that looks natural, with careful blending on hands, feet and other tricky spots where self-tanner often struggles.

Made for You
Custom Spray Tanning

No two clients get the exact same tan. We adjust the application to your skin tone and the depth you want, from a light, sun-kissed hint to a rich bronze. Tell us about your event or personal style, and we will customize your color to match.

Deeper Color
Double-Dipping

Double-Dipping applies two layers of solution in a single appointment. The extra layer builds a deeper shade and tends to extend how long your color lasts, making it a favorite for vacations, weddings and anyone who wants a bolder, longer-lasting glow.

Explore Double-Dipping

Express Formula
Rapid Tans

Short on time? Rapid Tans use a fast-acting express formula, so you can rinse much sooner than with a standard spray tan. It is a great option when you need color for an evening event or simply do not want to wait around before your shower.

Before You Arrive

FAQ

Spray Tanning Questions, Answered

Thinking about your first spray tan or switching salons? These answers cover the questions we hear most often at our salon in Lakewood, Colorado. If you do not see your question here, call us or send the form and our team will be happy to help.

    Is a spray tan a good choice if I have never tanned before?

    Absolutely. Many of our clients book their very first spray tan with us. We explain each step, help you choose a shade that looks natural on your skin and make sure you feel comfortable throughout. Several first-timers have told us they left feeling amazing and came back for more.

    How long does a spray tan appointment take?

    Most spray tan appointments are quick. After a short consultation about your shade and goals, the airbrush application itself moves along efficiently. Plan a little extra time for your first visit so we can answer questions and walk you through prep and aftercare without rushing.

    What should I wear to my spray tan appointment?

    Wear loose, dark clothing and open shoes so nothing rubs against your fresh color on the way home. During your session, you can wear whatever you feel comfortable in. Many clients choose disposable undergarments or an old swimsuit, and our team will guide you on positioning.

    When should I book a spray tan before a wedding or event?

    Most clients book a day or two before an event so their color has time to fully develop and settle. If you are planning for a wedding, prom or photo shoot, let us know the date and we will help you choose the best timing and shade.

    Will a spray tan look orange or streaky?

    A professional, custom spray tan should look natural, not orange. Our certified staff match the shade to your skin tone and use careful airbrush technique for even coverage. Good prep and aftercare, like exfoliating beforehand and moisturizing daily, also help your color develop and fade evenly.

    Can I combine spray tanning with other services at Snazzy Tanz?

    Yes. Many clients pair spray tans with UV tanning, red light therapy or body sculpting sessions. Because everything happens at our salon in Lakewood, Colorado, you can build a routine that covers color, skin care and wellness in one convenient place.

    Do you accept walk-ins for spray tans?

    Yes, walk-ins are welcome, and we also offer same-day appointments when our schedule allows. For the best chance at your preferred time, especially during busy wedding and vacation seasons, we recommend booking online in advance through our client portal. It only takes a moment.

    Do you offer spray tan memberships?

    Yes, memberships are available for clients who want to keep a consistent glow throughout the year. Ask our team which option fits how often you tan, and we will explain how membership works at our salon in Lakewood, Colorado. Memberships make regular visits simple.
