You should make your reservation for the time you can make it there. I personally like to get mine done early so I can relax for the night.

You should start shaving at least 3 weeks out from your show.
Waxing:
As I am not a waxing professional, please confir with your waxing professional!
I would suggest getting your waxing done at least three days prior to your tanning session. I am not a waxing professional and this is just a suggestion.

It depends on your class. If you are a Mens Physique, you can wear under garments with the tops rolled down under where your trunks would be.
All other classes should tan with nothing on. This elminates the potential for untanned areas showing and also makes the time to tan much quicker.
We do have disposable undergarments and we also have male and female airbrush artists.

Women - We supply a hair cover and suggest you keep the cover for touchups on show day.

We have male and femail airbrush artists in the room. You are guided into your tanning tent and then you disrobe. The potential for you being seen as you are tanned is slight.
Sometimes we also have expiditers in the room, they may test you for dryness. They will come up beside your tent and let you know their intent. If you do not want them to test you, please speak up and let them know.

The color depth should be different between some classes. The mens physique and bikini groups should be lighter than the other classes. Still all competitors are dark enough to not be washed out on stage.

No. You should have stopped using deoderant a few days prior to your session if you can. This gives you time to wash the metals from your deoderant off prior to your session and helps keep your underarms nice.

Skin preparation is a vital step in the competition tanning process. For optimal results, follow the below skin preparation instructions.

1 week before your tanning appointment or first application, begin exfoliating the skin using Get Buffed®. Be sure not to be too abrasive in the process of exfoliation to avoid damaging the skin. Evenly exfoliate the body and include commonly missed areas like the back, feet and neck.

You may utilize a moisturizer for dry skin; however, stop the use of lotions 24 hours before tanning with 1 final exfoliation of the body before your tanning appointment.

For body hair removal, we recommend using Hair Away®, a gentle, cream hair remover that is effective on rice grain length hair. After use, exfoliate well.

If you choose professional wax, it is recommended to patch test an area of the body with your hair removal professional to guarantee the best results. Waxing should be completed at least 5 days before the contest to ensure you have removed all potential remnants of the wax product. Failure to do so can result in uneven color development.

If shaving, complete this no later than 12 hours before the first tanning appointment and finish with an exfoliation session to remove remnants of any conditioning, cream, or oil-based shaving products.

Once the tanning process has begun, no further exfoliation or hair removal methods can be completed. Do not use deodorant, perfume, lotions, or other skin topicals when attending your tanning appointment.
