BRONZED WITH BIANCA · CUSTOM SPRAY TANS
A glow made for you.
Hand-airbrushed, custom-matched tans. Never orange. In-studio in Elk River or mobile to you.
THE BRONZED DIFFERENCE
An artist’s eye, not an assembly line.
Every tan is built around your skin, your event and your timeline.
-
Fifteen years of bridal makeup trained my eye for undertone. I choose your solution and depth so your tan looks like your skin, just sun-kissed.
-
You’ll know exactly what to do before and after, from exfoliating to the products to skip, so your color develops evenly and fades beautifully.
-
Facial skin renews fast and fades patchy, so instead of a full-face spray I sculpt with a soft contour and recommend DHA bronzing drops for a seamless match.

How long will my spray tan last?
Your tan will typically last 5–10 days, depending on your skin type and how well you follow aftercare. Proper hydration and gentle products will help extend the life of your tan.
When should I schedule my spray tan?
For best results:
Events/Weddings: 2-3 days before
Vacations: 1–2 days before departure
This allows your tan to fully develop and settle into the skin.
What’s the difference between Signature and Rapid tans?
Signature Bronze: Rinse in 8–12 hours for a deeper, fully developed result 24-48 hours for full development
Rapid Bronze: Rinse in 2–3 hours depending on your desired depth
Both are fully customized to your skin tone.
Will my spray tan look orange?
No—your tan is customized using professional solutions by Norvell and tailored to your natural undertone for a balanced, natural-looking result.
What should I do to prepare for my appointment?
You’ll receive a full prep guide after booking, but the most important steps are:
Exfoliate 24 hours prior
Avoid lotions, oils, and deodorant day of (specifically dove products are a no-go.
Wear loose, dark clothing avoid Red dye colored clothes.
Proper prep is key to an even result.
Can I shower after my spray tan?
Yes—your first rinse will be:
8–12 hours after a Signature tan
2–3 hours after a Rapid tan
You’ll rinse with water only—no soap during the first rinse.
Will the tan transfer onto clothing or sheets?
A temporary bronzer may transfer before your first rinse, which is normal and washes out. Wearing loose, dark clothing is recommended.
Do you offer mobile services?

What areas do you travel to?
Travel within 30 miles is included. Locations beyond that are subject to a $1 per mile fee (round trip).
Is spray tanning safe?
Spray tanning uses DHA, a sugar-derived ingredient that reacts with the outer layer of the skin to create color. Solutions by Norvell are formulated for safe, cosmetic use.
What if I have sensitive skin?
If you have sensitive skin, allergies, or specific concerns, please note them in your intake form so your service can be adjusted accordingly.
Do I need a trial tan for my wedding?
Yes—this is highly recommended. A trial allows us to customize and perfect your tone in advance so your final result feels seamless and intentional.

FINAL NOTE
Your spray tan is only as good as the preparation and care that goes into it.
The more intentional the process, the more seamless the result. -
Not a full-face spray. Facial skin renews quickly, and daily cleansing and exfoliating make face tans fade patchy, settle into pores and around the hairline, and emphasize texture. Instead, I softly contour your face to blend with your body and recommend DHA bronzing drops mixed into your daily moisturizer for a seamless, even match. Getting tanned somewhere else before your wedding? Ask them to skip your face too.
