If you’re choosing a spray tan based on price alone, you’re probably setting yourself up for orange tones, streaks, and a bad fade. Here’s why cheap spray tans cost you more in the long run and what actually matters.

Let’s Talk About “Cheap” Spray Tans
Everyone wants a deal. I get it.
But when it comes to spray tans, “cheap” usually means:
Rushed appointments
No customization
Lower-quality solution
Minimal attention to detail
And that’s how you end up saying:“Why do I look orange?”
The Truth: You’re Not Paying for the Spray; You’re Paying for the Skill
Spray tanning is not just standing there and getting sprayed.
A good spray tan includes:
Skin tone analysis
Solution selection based on undertones
Controlled application (not over-spraying)
Detailed blending (hands, feet, face—where most tans go wrong)
That’s the difference between:👉 “You look amazing” vs👉 “Did something happen?”

Where Cheap Spray Tans Go Wrong (Fast)
1. No Customization
Same solution for everyone = wrong color for YOU.
2. Over-Application
More solution = better tan
It usually means:
Sticky finish
Blotchy fade
Dark in the wrong places
3. No Aftercare Guidance
If no one tells you how to rinse, moisturize, or maintain it…your tan won’t last. Period.
What a Proper Spray Tan Should Look Like
A good spray tan should:
Match your natural undertone
Fade evenly (no patches, no spots)
Develop into a natural-looking glow, not a color change
If it looks like a spray tan… it wasn’t done right.

The Real Cost of a Bad Spray Tan
Let’s break it down:
Cheap tan: $40–$60
Fixing it (or rebooking somewhere better): another $60–$100
Confidence hit before an event? Priceless
You didn’t save money...you just paid twice.
