Spray tanning is the core of the business. Every tan is hand-applied and blended by an artist. The menu runs from a 20-minute Express Tan and a Clean Tan with a minimal-ingredient formula to Original Tans, half-body tans, contouring options and apprentice tans. The Apprentice Tan is performed by trainees in the artist-in-training program with client feedback, at a lower price. Before a first tan, clients are asked to exfoliate 24 to 48 hours ahead, shave at least 24 hours ahead and arrive with clean, product-free skin. Afterward they are asked to wear loose, dark clothing and moisturize daily after the first rinse. The business says tans last about 7 to 10 days with good prep and aftercare.

Nails, hair and waxing sit alongside the tans. Nail services include regular and gel manicures and pedicures, Gel-X extensions, nail art, soak-offs and Little Miss services for children ages 5 to 11. Hair services include blowouts, wash and style, drystyle, braids and updos, and waxing covers lip and brow. Press On Nail Bar is listed separately as a nail option at On Location / Dollop Coffee in Chicago, and Press + Glow offers onsite press-on nails and 15-minute spray tans at events, including mobile service.

The business states it has been featured in Allure, Seventeen, Fox, CBS, NBC, WGN, Michigan Avenue Magazine, TLC and Life & Style. According to the salon, it holds a 4.9 Google rating from 210 reviews.

Each tan starts with a consultation that covers the tan plan, color preference and rinse timing, and clients are welcome to bring photos of the look they want.
