client care guide
For flawless, streak-free results, proper prep is everything. Before your professional spray tan at Shaded & Co., exfoliate your skin 24 hours in advance to remove any dry patches or old tan. Arrive with clean, product-free skin—no lotion, deodorant, or makeup. Shave or wax the day before your appointment and wear loose, dark clothing to your session.
Following these steps helps your tan absorb evenly, develop beautifully, and last longer. Whether you visit our Houston flagship Sunless Social Club or book a concierge in-home spray tan, a little prep makes all the difference in achieving that signature Shaded glow.
PRE-TAN INSTRUCTIONS
Your glow doesn’t stop when you leave Shaded & Co. — proper aftercare is key to maintaining a flawless, long-lasting tan. Avoid showering, sweating, or applying products until your technician advises (typically 8 hours for our Signature Tan or 2–4 hours for our Express Tan). When you rinse, use lukewarm water and skip harsh soaps or exfoliants.
Keep your skin hydrated daily with a gentle, tan-safe moisturizer and avoid long baths, chlorine, or body oils that can fade your color. With the right care, your professional spray tan from Shaded & Co. can last up to 7–10 days with a natural, even fade.
✨ Pro Tip: Pair your aftercare with our Espresseé Self Tan Mousse to extend your glow between sessions — available at our Houston Sunless Social Club or through our concierge team.
POST- TAN INSTRUCTIONS
Before your professional cosmetic teeth whitening session at Shaded & Co., a little prep goes a long way toward achieving your best results. For 24 hours prior to your appointment, avoid dark foods and beverages like coffee, wine, and berries. Brush and floss gently before your treatment, but skip whitening toothpastes or mouthwashes that can cause extra sensitivity.
Arrive with clean teeth and hydrated lips—no lipstick or gloss needed! Our technicians will complete a full teeth and skin consultation upon arrival to tailor your session for your comfort and goals.
PRE-TEETH WHITENING INSTRUCTIONS
After your professional cosmetic teeth whitening treatment at Shaded & Co., following the white diet for the first 24–48 hours is essential. During this period, your teeth are more porous and can easily absorb pigments, which may cause staining.
Stick to light-colored, non-acidic foods and clear beverages, such as:
• Chicken, turkey, fish, or tofu
• White rice, pasta, and potatoes
• Cauliflower, bananas, and peeled apples
• Clear water, coconut water, or milk
Avoid anything that could stain a white T-shirt — like coffee, red wine, tea, berries, tomato sauce, or dark sodas.
