Touch-ups and glazing

You all have unlimited touch ups and glaze for tans.

If you require a touch up, please see Bones or team immediately and they will get one of the team members to sort you out , these things are harder to fix the longer you wait. 

What does touch-up mean? – If your tan has become inconsistent, pee runs/marks, water splash marks, chaffing rubs, sweat runs etc we will blend your colour and/or reapply tan as our tanners recommend. 

What is glazing? – Glazing adds a gloss finish to your tan which helps muscle definition and reflection. Please ask your coaches before getting any glazing as we cannot remove it. 

PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU OR YOUR COACH APPLIES ANY PRODUCT TO YOUR SKIN THAT IS NOT FROM COMPTAN, BEFORE OR AFTER TAN APPLICATION, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TOUCH UPS AS WE DO NOT KNOW HOW IT WILL REACT WITH THE TAN. YOU WILL NOT BE REFUNDED AND YOU WILL HAVE TO GLAZE OR DO YOUR OWN TOUCH UPS.

TOILETS COVERS

In the past we have had a few issues with toilet cleanliness and tan getting in and on places it shouldn’t in the club. To help address this issue, we are providing toilet seat covers which MUST be used when sitting on the toilet. These will be available from BONES at the check in desk as well as in each of the cubicles for your convenience. 

Please note, these covers have been selected to not effect your tan and as such they are NOT FLUSHABLE. Please use one EVERY TIME. 

If you make a mess in the bathrooms with your tan, please advise Bones or Kayleigh immediately so we can have the mess cleaned up before it stains anything. 

Just remember, the less mess you make, the more time we have for you!
