Mobile spray tans at home in Highcliffe

A route checked by postcode

Highcliffe, Mudeford and the nearby coast

Highcliffe is one of the places Francesca lists for nearby travel, alongside Mudeford, Christchurch, Barton-on-Sea and New Milton. The postcode district is BH23, but the district alone does not set the price. The full postcode, the route and the diary decide the exact charge, so a quick message is the best way to find out.

Send the postcode, date, preferred time, service and occasion together. Francesca checks whether the slot works with the diary and the route, then confirms the exact travel charge before booking. Travel to Highcliffe starts from £5 and is added on top of the selected service or package price. The postcode matters more than choosing the nearest town from a list, so include it even if you are not sure which category you fall into.

Highcliffe is listed as a real service area, not a claim that Francesca operates a salon or fixed base there. The professional tent and compact kit come to the customer, and the appointment takes place in the agreed private space at home. Appointments are for women only.

Plan the first rinse

Timing a Highcliffe appointment around your day

A spray tan needs time to develop before the first rinse, so it helps to choose an appointment that leaves a sensible gap before you need to be out, at work or in a hot, busy place. Typical planning examples are 8 to 10 hours before rinsing a standard solution or 2 to 4 hours for a rapid option. The exact instruction depends on the product and finish selected, so always follow what Francesca gives at the appointment. Do not extend a rinse time because you want a darker result.

Keep the developing tan dry until the instructed first rinse. Rain, a hot tub, swimming, sweating or tight damp clothing before that rinse can disturb the developing guide colour and create avoidable marks. After the first rinse, pat dry instead of rubbing and moisturise once the skin is clean and dry.

Colour usually lasts 5 to 10 days, depending on skin, preparation and how you look after it. Hot water, long soaking, chlorine, salt water and repeated towelling can shorten the wear. If you are planning an evening out, a day trip or a trip away, share those plans when you enquire so the appointment can be placed before the most demanding part of the schedule rather than in the middle of it.

A spray tan is cosmetic colour and does not provide reliable sun protection. Use suitable sunscreen, shade and protective clothing even when the colour looks developed.

Fit the service to your diary

Base services for a Highcliffe appointment

The Standard is the most requested service and has a £30 base price. It is intended for a natural full body finish and works well when there is room for the normal development window. The Deluxe has a £38 base price, finishing powder and a rapid option where suitable. Rapid can be helpful when you can rinse sooner, but it is not simply a stronger version of a standard tan.

Add-ons are £5 each: finishing powder, rapid tan solution and double spray for The Standard, with powder and rapid already included in The Deluxe where suitable. The Glow Duo has a £55 base price for two people at the same address. A 4 Tan Package has its own separate 10% off when four appointments are booked together. Custom photoshoot and bodybuilding competition services require individual planning for timing, tan depth, rinse schedule, travel, price and any deposit.

An eligible new customer may request an email code for 10% off the base price of a first single The Standard or The Deluxe tan. It excludes Highcliffe travel, extras, duo and package appointments, custom services and other promotions.

Make the visit unhurried

A Highcliffe home appointment checklist

Choose a warm private area and clear enough floor space for the pop-up spray tan tent. Keep the route from the entrance simple and move fragile belongings away. A plug socket nearby is useful if needed. Francesca brings the application kit; the customer prepares their skin, clothing and the hours after the visit.

• Exfoliate beforehand and complete hair removal before appointment day where practical.
• Keep skin free from moisturiser, body oil, perfume and deodorant on the spray areas.
• Wear or prepare loose, dark clothing with relaxed seams and waistbands.
• Avoid exercise, water and rubbing during development.
• Tell Francesca in advance about allergies, sensitive skin, recent treatments, sunburn or broken skin.

Most single appointments take around 30 minutes including setup and consultation. Allow more time for two people or a custom service. Francesca will talk through the intended finish and then provide the exact rinse and aftercare advice for the solution used.
