Lauryn is amazing at what she does. She done both my tans for my wedding and my reception party and both were amazing. Lauryn made me feel so relaxed and is such a lovely lady. Thank you again.

Common questions

Where are you based?

You'll find me at 90 Portland Street, Kilmarnock KA3 1AA. Clients visit from across East Ayrshire and nearby Ayrshire towns, and full directions are sent once your appointment is confirmed.

How do I book?

Send a message on WhatsApp, Instagram or the enquiry form with the service you want and a rough date. I will reply with availability and confirm the price.

How long does a spray tan last?

Most tans last five to seven days depending on your skin and how you look after it. I include simple aftercare advice so it fades evenly.

What is BIAB and is it better than gel?

BIAB is a builder gel that adds strength to your natural nails. It is a good choice if your nails are weak or peel. Standard gel is lighter and great for colour. I can recommend the right one when you arrive.

Do you do nails and a tan in one appointment?

Yes, just mention both when you message and I will set aside enough time. Tans are usually done last so the colour is not disturbed.

How should I prepare for my spray tan?

Exfoliate and shave the day before, arrive with clean skin and no moisturiser, deodorant or makeup, and bring loose dark clothing to change into afterwards.

What payment do you take?

Cash and bank transfer are both fine. Payment is taken at your appointment unless we agree otherwise.

What is your cancellation policy?

Things happen, so just give me as much notice as you can if you need to move your appointment. Repeated last-minute cancellations may need a deposit for future bookings.

Do you take a deposit?

For most appointments you can just book and pay on the day. For longer bookings, bridal work or group tans I may ask for a small deposit to hold the time, which comes off your final price.

Do I need a patch test?

If you are having a brow tint and it is your first time with me, I ask for a quick patch test at least 24 hours before, as tint can cause a reaction in a small number of people. Spray tan does not usually need one, but tell me about any allergies or sensitive skin and I will use a suitable solution.

How do I look after my nails afterwards?

Try not to pick or peel, wear gloves for cleaning and heavy housework, and pop a little cuticle oil on daily to keep the nails flexible. Book an infill or soak off rather than pulling a set off, as that protects your natural nail.
