Beauty Salons Lancaster PA What Do You Think Airbrush Tanning Is

Everything is not always what it seems when you decide to get some type of indoor tanning procedure. I have learned this first hand, and what an experience it turned out to be. While I can laugh about it now, I was very humiliated for a long time about the entire experience. I learned a valuable lesson that day - never assume anything when it comes to tanning.
Airbrush tanning does involve your body being sprayed with a very safe type of color. It will continue to get darker after about 24 hours. The results will last an average of seven to ten days. You will get the longest results if you exfoliate before you arrive for your tanning session. In my case, this is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to hurry and have a nice looking tan before heading out of town for a few days of vacation.
I guess I was nave as I just didn't have enough information to be in this predicament. I was more focused on what the end results would be. Imagine me hanging out in Las Vegas with a very nice bronze color on my skin. I was going to look great! The only instructions I got on the phone were to be on time and to wear old undergarments should I choose to leave them on during the session.
I decided to leave these articles of clothing on in order to be able to check to see the difference in my original color and the tanning color after I was done. I was very glad a decided to do this or I likely would have ran to hide. I think the woman in the tanning salon just assumed I knew what was going to take place as nothing was really explained to me.
I was standing there in a stretched out bra and panties with a hole in the side when there was a knock on the door. In walked a nice gal that was going to be doing the procedure. That's right, she was going to use some basic tools to airbrush the tan on me. She had a small air compressor and what looked like a miniature paint gun. I was really surprised and almost laughed out loud at the sight.
The entire process only lasted about 15 minutes. Yet as you all know, time can seem like eternity when you are in a situation that doesn't sit well with you. I think I would have rather spent that afternoon at the dentist than at the tanning salon. When she asked if I would like to schedule another appointment I told her I would call, but of course I didn't.
Even though I did get a tan that looked real, it just wasn't a procedure that works for me. I am not comfortable in that type of environment and I didn't schedule another appointment for that reason. For those that aren't too worried about being in that type of position with a stranger though I would recommend it.
I learned quite a valuable lesson that day though. I learned that things aren't always what you think they will turn out to be. It is best to have all of the information even if you think you don't need it. I certainly wouldn't have done the airbrush tanning based on the facts. While I can chuckle about it now, I was certainly very uncomfortable about it at the time.
