Frequently asked Questions

Spray Tan - Good to know.

  • Yes — Chelsea and the whole SW3 postcode are covered, along with neighbouring Knightsbridge, Belgravia and South Kensington. Pop your postcode in above to check live slots near you.

  • In Chelsea, same-day slots often land within 60 to 90 minutes, depending on who's available nearby. If you need a guaranteed booking ahead of an event, aim to book a day or two in advance.

  • Yes — plenty of our Chelsea bookings are at hotels, alongside homes and offices. Just double-check with hotel reception that outside treatments are allowed in your room, then your expert turns up with a pop-up tent and everything else needed.

  • Prices in Chelsea start from £50 for a standard tan, £55 for express and £66 for contouring — final cost depends on treatment and expert tier (Classic, Elite, Celebrity). Check live pricing by entering your postcode above.

  • Ruuby's spray tan range covers express, full-body, contoured and bridal or event tans, delivered anywhere in the UK by a vetted expert averaging 10+ years in the industry. Book in minutes through the site, grab the Ruuby app or reach concierge by email at concierge@ruuby.com or WhatsApp on +44 7946 233036.

  • It comes down to development time rather than the end result. Classic tans need six to eight hours to develop, while express formulas can be rinsed off in as little as one to three hours — leave it longer for a deeper shade either way. Express suits anyone pressed for time or booking last-minute; the finish is equally flawless and streak-free.

  • Most experts consider spray tans low-risk in pregnancy, since the active ingredient (DHA) only affects the skin's surface layer. That said, hormones can change how your skin absorbs colour, and some people would rather skip the fine mist altogether — so check with your midwife or GP beforehand, and flag your pregnancy when booking so your expert can adjust accordingly.

  • Yes — bridal tans are some of our most-requested bookings, giving a natural, flawless glow for the big day, hen do or honeymoon. We'd suggest a trial run a few weeks out to nail your shade, then the real thing one to two days before the wedding for the most natural finish. The whole bridal party can be tanned together at one address — just get in touch with concierge to arrange it.

    Reach concierge by email at concierge@ruuby.com or WhatsApp on +44 7946 233036, and the team will get back within half an hour.

  • Yes — a pre-holiday tan means you land already glowing instead of pale in those first-day photos. If you're tight on time before your flight, go for the express option, and chat to your expert about timing and shade for your trip. Same-day bookings are available wherever we operate.

  • Yes — spray tans for men are available at home with the same vetted experts, whether it's for a holiday, an event, a shoot or a competition. Your expert will adjust the depth of colour so the finish looks natural and even.

  • Aim to book one to two days ahead of your event — that gives the colour time to properly develop and settle, and means the guide colour's washed off well before the big day for an even finish. For weddings or major occasions, your expert can help pin down the ideal timing based on your skin tone and how deep you want the colour.

  • Before that first rinse, the guide colour can rub off onto fabric, so stick to loose, dark clothes and older or dark-coloured bedsheets for the first night. Once it's washed off, the actual tan underneath won't transfer at all. Your expert will talk you through aftercare to keep your clothes and linens safe.

  • Expect a Ruuby tan to last around five to seven days, though this varies with skin type, prep and aftercare. Keep it going longer by moisturising every day, skipping long baths and exfoliants, and patting rather than rubbing skin dry. Your therapist will send full aftercare notes after the appointment.

  • Exfoliate and shave the day before your appointment, then afterwards stick to daily moisturising, avoid long soaks, swimming and exfoliating, and pat rather than rub your skin dry. Less friction and less water contact means a more even fade. Looked after properly, a tan usually holds for five to seven days, and your therapist will send full care instructions.

  • Our experts use industry-trusted, professional-grade brands including Vita Liberata, Sienna X, Fake Bake, St.Tropez, Tan-Luxe, tint. and Isle of Paradise. These formulas rely on DHA for a gradual, natural-looking colour, plus conditioning ingredients like aloe vera and vitamin E — many are also vegan and paraben-free. Tell your expert your preferred shade and formula when booking and they'll tailor it to you.

  • Booking takes minutes on the website or via the Ruuby App — pop in your postcode and date to see what's available. Prefer a human? Get in touch with concierge by email at concierge@ruuby.com or WhatsApp on +44 7946 233036. Same-day slots are common in Chelsea.

  • Same-day availability is common, often within 60 to 90 minutes. Enter your postcode and date to check live slots, grab the Ruuby App or message concierge via email at concierge@ruuby.com or WhatsApp on +44 7946 233036 — expect a reply inside 30 minutes.

    We're open 6am until late, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including bank holidays and last-minute requests.

  • Application itself usually takes 10 to 20 minutes. From there, an express tan can be rinsed off in one to three hours, while classic formulas need six to eight hours to fully develop. Your expert will guide you on timing based on how deep you want the colour. Check each treatment tile for exact session lengths.

  • Everything comes with your expert — pop-up tent, professional solution, the lot. All you need is a bit of clear floor space, a bathroom or bedroom is ideal, and loose, dark clothing to change into afterwards. Full prep notes land with your booking confirmation.

  • For the best results that last longest, exfoliate and shave a day ahead, and turn up with clean, bare skin — no moisturiser, make-up or deodorant. Have loose, dark clothing and open-toed shoes ready to change into once you're done.

  • Every expert goes through a thorough vetting process. We verify credentials, insurance and professional experience, then assess their work in person before they join the platform. Chelsea's Ruuby tanning experts average 10+ years' experience, are qualified in their specialisms — including express, full-body and contoured tanning — and have built a loyal following of local clients.

  • Definitely — save your favourite expert in the app and rebook them with one tap next time. Sticking with the same person means they already know exactly how you like your colour and finish.

  • Yes — group bookings are easy to arrange, perfect for hen parties, bridal prep, birthdays or any event. We can send several experts to the same address at once. Get concierge to set it up for you.

    Reach concierge by email at concierge@ruuby.com or WhatsApp on +44 7946 233036, with replies typically inside half an hour.
