    Hey can't help you with salons but can give advice on the rest.

    In Dublin for a full body usually its around €40-€45.

    I prefer fake bake as it gives a golden tan which suits my complexion - In the sun i will only go a honey colour. St. Tropez however I think has a reddish tone which I think suits darker complexions.

    The salon will give you paper knickers. I however prefer to wear my own underwear - don't care if they get ruined at least I'll know where the white bits will be then!!!

    You should be exfoliating for a few days before using a exfoliating brush and moisterising. This will make sure all the dead skin is gone and you won't be streaky.

    On going to get your spray tan done you should wear loose fitting dark clothes that you don't care if they get some tan on, flip flops and try not to have to wear a bra afterwards as this tends to rub the tan off. Do not have any moisterisier on your body or face or any deorderant.

    I would also suggest you get it done in the evening as you can look pretty funny once the tan is on (it goes way darker than it will finally be when you wash it off) and you won't rub as much off when washing hands and doing daily stuff.

    Enjoy your graduation!!

    The thursday is fine - I get it done on a thursday for a big night out on the friday. I would get it done on the wednesday ionly f I was wearing white on the friday because sometimes all of the residue of the spray tan does not come off on the first wash (although I can assure you i wash very throughly :p )

    If your graduation is on first thing in the morning - I might suggest wed as you always think you will have more time and you don't want to running around like a headless chicken worrying about washing off fake tan, then doing your hair etc :D

    btw - also meant to add - make sure you have nail polish on your toes and finger nails as this will stop them getting stained from the spray tan! You can then remove it afterwards!
