Certified technicians customize each application for flawless coverage that enhances natural skin tones. The solution contains SPF 15 protection and develops over 8-10 hours for long-lasting results.

Questions
What makes Organic Bronze Bar's formula different?
Our proprietary formula contains plant-based DHA derived from sugar beets, blended with antioxidants like acai and blueberry extracts. It's free from parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances.
How long does the tan last?
With proper aftercare, tans typically last 5-7 days. Daily moisturizing with tan-friendly products and avoiding harsh exfoliants extends longevity.
Can I workout after tanning?
Wait 8-10 hours before exercising to allow full development. Sweat during this period may cause uneven fading in affected areas.
Are there options for sensitive skin?
Our solution is non-toxic and dermatologist-tested. We offer patch testing and can adjust formulas for clients with specific sensitivities or allergies.
Do you offer group appointments?
Yes, we accommodate bridal parties and other groups with coordinated scheduling. Complimentary sessions available for bridal party organizers.
What should I wear during the session?
Clients choose comfort level - bare skin provides best results, but swimsuits or undergarments are acceptable. Dark, loose clothing recommended post-appointment.

This location is terrible compared to the one on Lower Boones Ferry. Not thorough, messy tanning rooms and let you leave before youre dry. Location on Boones Ferry has excellent helpful and kind staff who do a thorough job and make it a fun experience!

Don't get the express tan. While they don't know how to keep your hands and feet from turning orange, the regular tan does look decent and stays for a while. However, the only thing they do to your hands and feet is using a wet wipe. I got the express tan and I had lines all over. It looked so bad I tried to scrub it off. It ended up coming off but I looked like an orange spotted leopard.
When I called to let them know they just said they were sorry. No refund offered for the tan. The woman who did my tan was very nice and helpful though. The tans just don't turn out unfortunately

I was 30 minutes late to my appointment due to work and Melanie was still willing to squeeze me in at the end of her day. Clean, quick, friendly, and I love my organic tan!

Organic Bronze Bar is the gold standard of spray tanning! The Portland/Vancouver area is lucky to have 3 locations to choose from. The employees at the Camas, Wa location location are amazing, kind and very knowledgeable about their products and services! Once you tan there, it will become your new healthy obsession. I will return again and again. Love this place. Find the location nearest you and go!

I love Organic Bronze Bar! I'm a spray tanner for special occasions not a regular, but I am always amazed at their attention to detail and body positive atmosphere. I have engagement photos coming up this weekend, so I booked a tan for Thursday night. Chloe was so fun to chat with and she did an incredible job. She really knew her stuff! I love the way my tans turn out at Organic Bronze Bar -- I'm never orange and it never looks extremely noticeable, which is usually what it looks like when I self tan at home or when I used to walk into the spray tan booths. I love that my tan looks natural
