  • All bookings are made online via our Vagaro system - which you can access here. This has all of the most up to date availability and ensures that we avoid the dreaded “human error”. No phone tag, no back and forth on schedules, etc.

    If a particular day/time isn’t available, we highly recommend adding yourself to the waitlist online. Cancellations happen! When you’re on the waitlist, you will get notified immediately when an opening pops up and will have easy access to book.

  • Yes! That’s our favorite combo. Sugaring is a great exfoliant before your spray tan and ensures you won’t need to shave while you have your glow. The sugar paste is water-soluble so after your appointment, you’ll be given a wet cloth to wipe off any sticky residue before your tan.

    Just make sure to book your sugaring first, spray tan second. That order matters!

    Bridal Party Spray Tan?

    Our BRIDAL TOAST + TAN package is perfect for groups 6+. The package is created to give the bride a 50% discount and the party a 12% discount each tan. All tans must be booked on the same day and the package must be purchased in advance. The package online includes the above discount for 6 people. If you have more than 6, just note who’s in the party when booking and they’ll receive the 12% discount as long as they’re scheduled on the same day.

    Email ashley@sweetlybronzed.com before purchasing to ensure availability and for any additional questions. We recommend scheduling 90 days in advance to ensure availability for your party.

    First Time Sugaring?

    If you’re coming from shaving, book your first Brazilian early and your second Brazilian right before the wedding/honeymoon. It’s normal for some hairs to be too short or stubborn to remove your first visit. Your second Brazilian will help ensure perfect results and less downtime. Already sugar or wax regularly? You’re golden!

    Please always allow 48 hours of downtime after sugaring before pools, hot tubs, saltwater or sweating.

    Getting Sugared and a Spray Tan?

    Always book your sugaring appointment first, then your spray tan after.

  • After your first Brazilian with us, you will receive a free Brazilian on your file to use within 90 days. Your free service is non transferrable and is per person.

  • Throughout the year, we offer trainee appointments as part of our training process for new employees or ongoing staff development. During these appointments, the person in training will perform the service with a trainer present in the room.

    Trainee appointments are offered for a discounted price (typically $25) for the specified service being trained. Following your appointment, we will text you the next day to ask for detailed feedback about your experience and results. Your input is essential to help us perfect our services.

    If you cancel within 24 hours or no-show for a trainee appointment, you will be charged the full $25 fee.

    We primarily advertise trainee appointments on our Instagram, so be sure to follow us for updates and availability!

    Please note: Touchups are not offered after trainee appointments. Thank you for supporting our team’s growth!

    Regular Appointments: You will be charged 50% of the scheduled service.

    Memberships: 50% of the service value will be deducted from your membership. If rescheduled within the same month, the remaining balance at the membership rate will be due at your next visit.

Therefore, we can only allow a 6 minute grace period. If you are later than that we cannot guarantee service. This will result in cancelling your appointment and applying our late cancellation fee.

    If you are running late, please text us at 614-245-5665 so we can do our best to accommodate your appointment.

Sugaring Questions:

  • Do not exfoliate 48 hours prior to your appointment and have clean, dry skin free of lotions or oils. To minimize pain: avoid caffeine, hot showers and working out before your appointment. If you're really nervous about the pain, pop a Tylenol 15 minutes before!

  • For best results, please make sure to have a minimum of 14 days of growth (if you're coming from shaving) or 4 weeks of growth (if you're coming from waxing) on the day of your appointment.

  • Everyone is different! Generally, any redness or soreness should only last around 30-60 minutes. However, some skin may be a little more sensitive. Because of this, please allow 1-2 days of down time before resuming any exfoliating or sweating.

  • This happens all the time! Your period does not affect the sugaring process, although you may be more sensitive to pain. We just require you to wear a tampon during your service.

  • We currently only provide vaginal brazilians and bikinis!

Tanning Questions:

  • Thoroughly exfoliate and shave the night before your spray tan (or at least 12 hours before your tan.) Make sure there are no moisturizers, oils or deodorants on your skin the day of your appointment, as this acts as a barrier to your tans and will not allow the color to develop properly.

  • With proper prep and aftercare, your glow will look its best for 5-7 days. Smooth, even and crack-free. After that, gradual fading is expected as your skin naturally exfoliates. Our clients who love a consistent glow rebook every two weeks to maintain a flawless and fresh bronze.

    A little care goes a long way. Opt for quick, cool showers. Always pat dry and don’t rub. Moisturize twice a day with a water based lotion and stick with a spray tan safe soap.

  • You can wear (or not wear) whatever you’d like. Some people like to wear a thong or bikini bottoms to see how tan they get. We say this is the one time you don’t need tan lines, so why have them! Whatever your comfortability is.

    We do require all men to wear underwear.

    Post spray tan - we recommend loose, dark clothing. No bra, no leggings, no tight closed toe shoes, etc. Preferably long sleeves + long loose pants to avoid skin to skin contact.

  • We exclusively use rapid tanning solution, designed to be rinsed within 2-4 hours depending on your desired depth and skin tone. Leaving the solution on longer than recommended (past 4 hours) will result in the darkest possible color. For the most flawless glow, always follow the rinse time recommended by your technician.

  • We recommend getting a spray tan 1-2 days before any special event to ensure your tan is fresh, fully developed and looks perfect. With that said, please make sure your spray tan is your last appointment in your beauty routine! All mani/pedi’s, facials, massages, shaving should be done the day before at minimum to assure all oils are off your skin for your spray tan.

  • Orange doesn’t exist here. Our premium cosmetic bronzer is perfectly blended to deliver a flawless, bronzed finish. Never streaky, never brassy. We only use high-quality DHA paired with customized undertones to ensure your tan enhances your natural skin tone and achieves the look you want.

  • Moisturize twice a day with a water based lotion. We highly recommend sticking with Aveeno, CeraVe or Hempz lotion. Avoid using Dove, Olay and Bath & Body works as these products will turn you brassy and complete strip your spray tan!

    You will also want to avoid chlorinated pools or jacuzzies, saunas, steam rooms, and any form of exfoliation (shaving, scrubbing) as these will fade your spray tan faster.

  • Your spray tan should be the very last step in your beauty routine, period. Massages, mani/pedis, facials, etc. should all occur a minimum of 12 hours before your spray tan appointment. All of these services have their own products that are utilized throughout the services that when used too close to your appointment can create a barrier between your skin and the DHA (active ingredient in spray tan). Or when utilized after the service can discolor or strip your tan.

  • No, our solution does not stain clothing or sheets. It’s water based and designed to rinse out easily from fabric. You may notice a little transfer from the initial makeup layer after your appointment - that’s totally normal. That is why we recommend dark clothing for your post spray tan attire.

    After you’ve rinse and the makeup layer is completely off, there should be no further transfer onto clothing. Sometimes this requires a second rinse the next morning with a spray tan safe soap to make sure the bronzer (aka makeup layer) is fully off.

  • First things first…we are sunless tanning professionals, we are not licensed medical professionals and while we have sprayed numerous expecting mommas-to-be, every pregnancy and their accompanying risks are different. We recommend that you ask your OBGYN before getting a spray tan.
