Custom Spray Tanning in Olympia.
A custom airbrush tan that looks like your skin, just warmer and more even. Our licensed estheticians match the color to your skin tone and factor in your skincare routine so it develops beautifully every time.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Every spray tan at Pausa is built around your skin, not a one size fits all formula. Here’s what to expect from consultation to glow.
Skin Consultation and Shade Selection
We start by asking about your skin type, your skincare routine, and the look you’re going for. If you use retinol, AHAs, or prescription treatments, we factor that into how DHA will develop on your skin. Then we select a shade that suits your natural skin tone, not too light to be invisible and not so deep it looks applied.
Airbrush Application
We apply the tanning solution evenly across the body using an airbrush system, working from the top down and blending carefully at the elbows, knees, ankles, hands, and hairline where uneven color is most noticeable. A barrier cream protects dry areas from absorbing too much solution. The whole application takes 15 to 20 minutes.
Development and Aftercare Guidance
DHA continues developing on the skin for the next eight hours, so we send you home in loose dark clothing with clear guidance on what to avoid. No showering, sweating, or getting the skin wet for at least eight hours. After your first rinse, the true color emerges and lasts seven to ten days. We’ll also tell you exactly which skincare products to use and avoid between appointments so your tan fades evenly instead of patchily.
WHO IT’S FOR
A streak-free, natural looking tan that’s custom blended for your skin and lasts seven to ten days, with no UV, no sun damage, and no orange.
A great spray tan starts before the solution touches your skin. Your skincare routine, hydration, and skin texture all affect how the color develops. Our estheticians check your routine, match a shade to your skin tone, and apply it by hand so it looks natural and fades evenly.

A rich, deep bronze for maximum warmth and definition. Best for olive and darker skin tones, vacation prep, or anyone who loves a bold, striking tan that turns heads and photographs beautifully.

From Arrival To Aftercare
PREPARATION
Wax or shave, shower, and exfoliate before your tan so the color goes on smooth and even. Skip moisturizer on the day of your appointment, since it creates a barrier that affects how the tan develops. Wear flip flops and loose-fitting clothing to protect your fresh tan. Women may be sprayed nude or in a bathing suit or underwear, and men are asked to wear underwear or shorts.
Your esthetician will guide you through a few simple poses to make sure the color goes on smooth and even. The mist is light and cool, and the whole process only takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Just relax and let us customize the depth of your glow to match your skin tone and the look you want.
Avoid showering, swimming, working out, or applying any liquids or creams for at least 8 hours after your tan. Your color will keep developing for up to 24 hours after your appointment, even once you have showered, so give it time to reach its full depth before judging the final result.

FAQs
Common Spray Tanning Questions
Most spray tans last between 7 and 10 days, depending on your skin type, how well you prep beforehand, and how you care for it afterward. Keeping your skin moisturized and avoiding long soaks, exfoliating, and shaving will help your color stay even and fade gradually rather than patchy.
Wax or shave, shower, and exfoliate before your appointment so the color applies smoothly and evenly. Skip moisturizer, deodorant, perfume, and makeup on the day of your tan, since these create a barrier that can affect how the color develops. Wear loose, dark clothing and bring flip flops to protect your fresh tan on the way home.
No. Our SJOLIE solution is formulated for a natural, streak-free finish, and your esthetician customizes the shade to complement your skin tone. The orange look people worry about usually comes from low-quality products or a color that was too dark for the skin. We match the depth to you, so your tan looks sun-kissed and believable.
Yes, but timing matters. Retinol and exfoliating acids speed up skin cell turnover, which can make your tan fade faster or unevenly. We recommend pausing those products for a few days before and after your appointment. Let your esthetician know what you use so we can plan around it for the best, longest-lasting result.
Avoid showering, swimming, working out, or applying any liquids or creams for at least 8 hours after your tan. Your color keeps developing for up to 24 hours, so give it time before judging the final shade. Once developed, skip long baths, harsh exfoliants, and shaving as much as possible to keep your glow even and lasting.
For most people, yes. Our SJOLIE solution is cruelty-free, paraben-free, and vegan, which makes it a gentle option for sensitive skin. If you have known allergies or very reactive skin, let us know ahead of time and we can do a small patch test before your full appointment so you can feel confident.
Always before, never right after. Finish any waxing or shaving at least 24 hours before your appointment so your pores can close and your skin is smooth for application. Shaving after your tan will exfoliate the color and cause it to fade faster, so if you need to shave during the week, use a gentle hand and a moisturizing formula.
Our full body airbrush spray tan is $55 for a 45-minute appointment. It includes a customized shade matched to your skin tone using our cruelty-free, paraben-free, and vegan SJOLIE solution. Ask us about membership options if you tan regularly and want to save.
An airbrush tan is applied by hand by a trained esthetician, so the color is customized and evenly blended to your body, with extra attention to tricky areas. A tanning booth sprays everyone the same way with no personal adjustment, which often leads to missed spots and uneven color. Airbrushing gives you a tailored, natural-looking result a booth simply cannot match.
Hydration is everything. Moisturize daily, ideally twice a day, and drink plenty of water to keep your skin from drying out and flaking. Take shorter, cooler showers, pat dry instead of rubbing, and avoid long soaks, chlorine, harsh exfoliants, and shaving where you can. The better you care for your skin, the more evenly your tan fades.
