Show clients their shade before a drop of solution touches skin
Photograph the client at intake, before prep or barrier cream. Makeover generates a photorealistic preview of light, medium, and dark solution levels on their actual undertone in seconds — so they pick a shade they've seen on themselves, not one off a laminated card.

What is a spray tan shade preview preview?
A spray tan shade preview tool uses AI to generate a photorealistic image of a client's skin at different self-tan depth levels — typically light, medium, and dark — based on a photo of their actual skin tone. The technician captures a baseline photo at intake, and the tool renders how each solution level will look once fully developed on that specific client's undertone, not a generic model's skin. Spray tan studios and mobile technicians use this before mixing solution to eliminate shade guesswork and cut down on clients who leave orange, ashy, or unhappy with the depth they picked.
Why it matters
A full-body spray tan runs $35–$85 at a studio and $50–$100+ for a mobile house call — priced for a client who rebooks every one to two weeks, not a one-time transaction. That repeat model lives or dies on the shade being right the first time. A fair-skinned client sprayed at 12.5% DHA who turns orange, or a warm-undertone client who books "dark" expecting bronze depth and gets an ashy result, doesn't stick around to see if the next session goes better — she just stops booking, and she tells her group chat why. A shade preview settles the "will this look natural on me" question before you ever crack open a solution bottle.
Who uses this
Spray tan technicians and studio owners use it at intake, before mixing solution, to walk a new client through light/medium/dark options on her own skin instead of a shade card that shows nothing about her undertone. Mobile spray tan techs use it in the pre-booking text or DM exchange to lock in a shade before they show up with a tent and HVLP gun. Self-tan and sunless brands selling take-home mousse, lotion, or drops at retail use it at the counter to match a shade level to the customer's skin before she buys a bottle that ends up unused under the sink.
Heard this from a client?
A client asks for "the darkest one you've got" because her friend's tan looked amazing on Instagram — then turns orange because her cool undertone was never tested against that DHA level before you sprayed her.
A first-timer stares at a laminated shade card and says "I don't know, what if it's too much" while your booth sits empty and the next appointment is already waiting.
A client swears her last spray tan "went orange" somewhere else and now refuses anything past the lightest option — even though the real problem was solution chemistry, not depth, and she's leaving money and color on the table.
How spray tan shade preview previews work
Three steps. Under 10 seconds. No design skills needed.
Capture the baseline photo
Photograph the client's bare skin at intake, before exfoliation prep or barrier cream goes on knees, elbows, and hands. A phone camera in normal studio lighting is enough.
AI generates the shade preview
The model reads the client's actual undertone — cool, warm, or neutral — and renders how light, medium, and dark solution levels will look once fully developed, not the temporary bronzer guide color.
Present it before you mix solution
Show the comparison on your phone or tablet at the counter. The client picks a level she's already seen on her own skin, and you mix the right DHA concentration once, correctly.
