Last Updated: August 21, 2026

Welcome to SHADED. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website, our booking system, and all spray tanning and related services we provide. By booking an appointment, purchasing a service or product, or using our website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not book with us.

1. Our Services

SHADED provides custom sunless tanning services, including airbrush and spray tan applications using DHA-based solutions, along with related products and aftercare items. Services may be provided at our studio location or, where offered, at a location you request.

2. Booking and Appointments

All appointments must be scheduled through our booking system, by phone, or by direct message. Appointment times are held only once confirmed. Providing accurate contact information is your responsibility, and we are not liable for missed appointments caused by incorrect phone numbers or email addresses.

Please arrive on time. If you arrive more than [10] minutes late, we may need to shorten your service or reschedule it, and the full service fee may still apply.

3. Cancellations, Reschedules, and No-Shows

Cancellations within 48 hours, 50% of the service will be charged.

No-Shows or cancellations within 24 hours of your scheduled time will result in 100% of the service charge including add ons charged.

You may reschedule to a day sooner than the scheduled appointment, or reschedule for a different time same day of the appointment if it is available without a fee.

If the card on file declines, you will be flagged from booking again until the fee is paid. If not completed within 30 days, the account will be blocked from booking indefinitely.

We always do our best to accomodate artist requests, however artists are subject to reassignment based on availability and scheduling needs. Rest assured, you are in great hands with any of our artists!

Repeated late cancellations or no-shows may result in prepayment being required for future bookings, or refusal of future service.

We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule your appointment due to illness, emergency, equipment failure, weather, or unsafe conditions. In those cases you will be offered the next available appointment.

4. Payment, Packages, and Refunds

Payment is due at the time of service unless a prepayment is required at booking. We accept card or cash. Prices are subject to change without notice, though confirmed appointments will be honored at the quoted price.

Because spray tanning is a personal service that is performed and consumed immediately, all sales are final and services are non-refundable. Packages and memberships are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Packages expire 12 MONTHS from the date of purchase unless stated otherwise. Gift cards are non-refundable and cannot be redeemed for cash except where required by law.

If you are unhappy with your tan, contact us within 48 hours by text, email, or call. We will make a reasonable effort to correct the issue at no charge. Corrections are offered at our discretion and are not a guarantee of a refund.

5. Eligibility and Minors

You must be at least 18 years old to book a service on your own behalf. Clients under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian provide written consent and be present at the appointment. We reserve the right to request identification.

6. Health, Safety, and Medical Disclaimer

SHADED is not a medical provider, and nothing we say or provide is medical advice. Our services are cosmetic only.

Sunless tanning solutions contain DHA (dihydroxyacetone), which reacts with the outermost layer of the skin to produce color. DHA has been approved for external application to the skin. It has not been approved for application to the lips, eyes, or other mucous membranes, or for inhalation. Protective equipment, including eyewear, nose filters, and lip balm, is available on request, and you are responsible for requesting and using it.

You agree to disclose, before your service, any of the following:

Allergies or sensitivities, including to DHA, fragrance, nuts, coconut, aloe, or other cosmetic ingredients

Pregnancy or breastfeeding

Skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, open wounds, sunburn, or active rashes

Recent cosmetic procedures such as waxing, laser treatment, chemical peels, microblading, injectables, tattoos, or surgery

Respiratory conditions such as asthma

Any medication or medical condition that affects your skin

We recommend a patch test at least 24 hours before your first service, and we strongly recommend consulting your physician before receiving a spray tan if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under medical care. Booking with us confirms that you have disclosed all relevant information and that you accept responsibility for any reaction resulting from information you did not disclose.

7. Preparation and Aftercare

Your results depend heavily on how you prepare and what you do after your service. You agree to follow the preparation and aftercare instructions we provide, which generally include:

Before your appointment: shower, exfoliate, and shave at least [4 to 24] hours in advance (the night prior being ideal). Arrive with clean, dry skin, free of lotion, oil, makeup, deodorant, perfume, and self-tanner residue.

After your appointment: wait the recommended time before showering, avoid water, sweat, swimming, hot tubs, saunas, and intense exercise during development, wear loose dark clothing, pat dry rather than rub, and moisturize daily.

SHADED is not responsible for uneven, faded, streaked, or shortened results caused by failure to follow preparation or aftercare instructions.

8. Results Disclaimer

Sunless tanning results vary from person to person and from session to session. Color, depth, and duration are affected by skin type, skin pH, medications, hydration, exfoliation, product use, activity level, and aftercare. We do not guarantee a specific shade, a specific level of darkness, or a specific length of wear. Sunless tanning does not provide protection from the sun, and you should continue to use sunscreen.

9. Clothing, Linens, and Property

Spray tan solution contains a cosmetic bronzer that can transfer to and stain clothing, undergarments, shoes, bedding, towels, upholstery, carpet, and vehicle interiors. We recommend wearing loose, dark, old clothing to and from your appointment.

SHADED is not responsible for damage to or staining of any clothing, personal item, linen, furniture, flooring, or other property resulting from your service, whether the solution is wet or dry.

10. Mobile and In-Home Appointments

Where mobile service is offered, you agree to provide a suitable space that is clean, well ventilated, adequately lit, and large enough for our equipment, along with access to an electrical outlet and reasonable parking. You are responsible for protecting your own flooring, furniture, and belongings. We reserve the right to decline service on arrival if the space is unsafe, unsuitable, or unsanitary, and the cancellation policy in Section 3 will apply.

11. Right to Refuse Service

We reserve the right to refuse or discontinue service at any time, including if a client is intoxicated, under the influence, abusive, threatening, harassing, inappropriate, visibly ill, contagious, has an undisclosed skin condition, or fails to follow reasonable instructions. Payment may still be due in these circumstances. We have a zero tolerance policy for harassment of any kind toward our artists and staff.

12. Photos and Media

We may ask to photograph or record your results for portfolio, training, or marketing purposes. We will not use your image publicly without your permission. You may withdraw permission at any time by contacting [email protected] and we will stop future use, though we may not be able to remove images already printed or distributed.

If you photograph or record inside our space, you agree not to capture other clients without their consent.

13. Communications and Text Messaging

By providing your phone number, you agree to receive appointment confirmations, reminders, and service related messages from SHADED. You may separately opt in to promotional messages. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency varies. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. Opting out of promotional messages may also affect appointment reminders. Our handling of your information is described in our Privacy Policy.

14. Assumption of Risk and Limitation of Liability

You understand that spray tanning carries inherent risks, including the possibility of allergic reaction, skin irritation, uneven color, or unexpected results. You voluntarily assume these risks.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SHADED, its owners, employees, and contractors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of our services or website. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the service giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or anything else that cannot be limited under applicable law.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SHADED, its owners, employees, and contractors from any claim, loss, or expense arising from your breach of these terms, your failure to disclose relevant health information, or your failure to follow preparation and aftercare instructions.

16. Intellectual Property

All content on our website and social media accounts, including photos, text, logos, and branding, is the property of SHADED and may not be copied, reproduced, or used without written permission.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service at any time. The updated version takes effect when posted, and the "Last Updated" date above will reflect the change. Continuing to book or use our services after an update means you accept the revised terms.

18. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute will be resolved in the courts located in Sparks, NV.
