Bar B Bronzing

Bar B Studios was founded in 2019 and is located at 135 Oyster Creek Drive, Suite i, in Lake Jackson. The studio is inside the Where the Babes Go space and serves clients across the Brazoria County area. Bookings for spray tans are made through the website's Book Online page, and the studio can be reached by email or phone.

Spray tans are mixed individually for each client. Before the spray, the studio asks about the client's skin and goals, then blends the solution to match their skin tone. Two options are offered. Basic Tan solution stays on the skin for about 8 hours before it can be rinsed off, and comes in light, medium, dark and ultra dark shades with several undertones. Rapid Tan stays on for 2 to 4 hours depending on the shade, and each client gets a suggested rinse time for the shade they chose.

The studio also draws faux freckles directly on the face, with colors chosen to suit each client's skin tone. The freckles typically last around 8 to 12 months, and small hidden heart or constellation freckles can be added. Tiny Tattoo covers small fine line work, including hand-lettering, with pricing starting at $85 and set by size, detail and placement.

Tattoo clients book by sending a request through the tattoo booking link, since texts, calls and social media messages can be missed. A request should include a description, reference images, approximate size and placement, and preferred days and times. The studio then replies with a quote and scheduling options. Clients are asked to eat before the appointment, shaving is not needed, razors are available at the studio, and a friend may come along.

Spray tan clients receive preparation and aftercare guidance. Clients are asked to exfoliate 24 hours ahead and shave with a new razor, have waxing done 24 to 48 hours before and nail appointments the day before, and skip deodorant, perfume, lotion and makeup that day. Only the studio's body lotion or HEMPZ lotions are approved beforehand. Afterward, clients should stay dry for 8 hours after Basic Tan or 2 to 4 hours after Rapid Tan, drink water, moisturize with a spray tan safe lotion once or twice a day, and avoid hot showers, soaking and scrubbing until the tan fades. Spray tans do not protect skin from the sun, so sunscreen is recommended. Cancellations or reschedules need at least 24 hours' notice; cancelling within 24 hours may incur a fee of 50% of the service, and cancelling within 2 hours or not showing up incurs a fee of 100%, or a $15 no-show fee for members.

Each spray tan is custom mixed to the client's skin tone after a short conversation about their skin and goals.
