Body & Sol Bronzing

Body & Sol Bronzing has been operating since 2010 at its studio in Nanuet, New York. The studio sits in Rockland County, about 12 minutes from the border of Northern New Jersey, and it has been serving clients in that area for well over a decade.

The studio's two main areas are spray tanning and eyelash lift and tint. The standard spray tan is rinsed off after 8 to 12 hours, and most tans last 7 to 10 days with proper care. The Xpress Spray Tan can be showered off after 1 to 4 hours, and its depth depends on how long it is left on: about 1 hour for light, 2 hours for medium, and 3 to 4 hours for dark. Each spray tan includes an Anti-Aging Treatment at no extra charge, which the business notes is usually a $5 upgrade elsewhere. Clients are asked to exfoliate 24 hours before and arrive with clean, bare skin. Spray tans contain no SPF, so the business advises sunscreen when outdoors.

Eyelash lift and tint takes about 60 minutes and typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks. A consent form must be signed beforehand, and clients with lash extensions are asked to have them removed 2 to 3 weeks before the service. A patch test 24 to 48 hours ahead is recommended for anyone with sensitive skin or eyes or an allergy history. The service is not performed on clients with an active eye infection, eye irritation, or very recent eye procedures. Afterward, clients are advised to avoid water, steam, and eye makeup for the first 24 hours. Cancellations need at least 24 hours notice to avoid a fee.

Lash maintenance packages with GrandeLASH-MD Growth Serum and lash repair conditioner are optional add-ons that can be paired with any lash service. They come in a small travel size and a large size.

The business also rents a workstation to hair, makeup, and beauty professionals. Each has a salon chair, mirror station, counter, and tool storage. Rental includes a small bathroom sink, restroom access, Wi-Fi, a shared client waiting area, and parking. Rates are $50 to $100 per day, $200 to $250 per week, or $900 to $1,000 per month, and are negotiable. Interested people fill out an online form, and a contact then calls to discuss terms.

Communication is by email, with phone calls answered by text or email. The studio is open Monday to Friday from 5 pm and Saturday and Sunday from 9 am, and it is open on holidays.

The business says it uses premium products and advanced techniques aimed at natural-looking results.
