SHOW DAY
Evertime we tan at a show we can say we do stick to time and are so well organised as there is alot of planning that goes on weeks before your tanning .
Everyone should have time for their tan in accordance with the show running order, so there’s no point trying to get your tan done earlier than your appointment. The only exception to this, is if the show promoter changes the running order at short notice, then come and see us for reschedule.
Look out for our A1 comp tan banner or A1 signs that will show you where we are on show day. A member of the team will be at a table ready to welcome you so please approach and give us your name. If you don’t see our banners or signs, then ask any of the show officials to point you in the right direction. You will be expected to abide by the show promoters rules, so this means it’s likely that you will not be permitted an escort by family or friends to the tanning area.
When A1 are the official show tanners the team will remain backstage until the end of the show to provide you with our A1 service, or touching up, glazing, and gluing costumes, so you will always enter the stage flawlessly.
All the A1 team have experienced competition, so we fully understand the stresses, and nerves that athletes go through after the many weeks of hard graft and commitment comes to fruition. So we are happy to give our athletes any moral support we can, all you have to do is talk to us, and we will help as much as we can.
Your privacy is important to us, so every athlete has their own private tent, and access to the tanning area is prohibited access by the public. The whole process will take 15 to 20 minutes, from start to fully dried and ready. Where possible, males and females will be tanned in separate areas, but even when this is not possible, the individual tents are perfect for maintaining your privacy.
During your tanning your tanner will inform you of everything you need to do post tanning, with regards touch ups, glazing etc.
Where A1 is not the official tanning team backstage may be restricted to us. In this situation we will provide you with a touch up pack to take with you backstage.
Ladies; it is standard procedure that you are tanned naked, this is to avoid any lines, which will stand out like a sore thumb on stage and detract from the physique you’ve worked so hard for.
Guys; you will be provided with one of our trendy A1 socks (not the kind you put on your feet ) to maintain your dignity, this will be the case for all categories.
We are all a very professional team and want you to have a perfect tan. However, this doesn’t mean we not light hearted, and we like to have some banter and laughs backstage. When you come off stage with that medal or trophy we love taking photos of you to keep in our memory bank. If you do not wish any photo’s we take to be published on social media or print. Your discretion will be strictly followed by A1. Many of our athletes return show after show and we like to think this is a result of our exceptional service. In order to maintain our position in the competition tanning world we encourage competitors to leave us feedback so we can keep our service A1 by name and A1 by tanning .
