"Hi I'm HarveyWhittier I'm the owner of Perfect Tan here in Orem, Utah. We are a full service tanning salon. We have twenty different tanning beds and an automated spray tan system. I've been asked before does hair spray make you tan faster. And in reality yes you can use hairspray and it does help develop your tan but I wouldn't recommend it. The possibility of outside using it you could but remember it doesn't have any sunscreen in it and the chances are you are going to get burned. Secondly it's going to be very sticky. Inside a tanning salon we have these acrylics that you lay on and it will damage the acrylics and so we don't allow anything into a tanning salon that's not been approved for indoor tanning. So it has to say approved for indoor tanning before we let any of our clients use any other kind of product. So hairspray definitely not, I wouldn't recommend it. Would it help, possibility but definitely I don't know if I would recommend that as part of your tanning process."
