What order for nails, wax, spray tan

Been feeling a bit rubbish about myself lately so thought I’d treat myself before a special holiday to a spray tan & nails. Trying to get it all booked in but also need waxing doing which i normally leave as late as possible. What order should I do this all in & how long before I go would be best for eg the spray tan? Don’t often do these things so any tips would be appreciated.

Wax, spray tan, nails, I'd have thought.

Work from deepest up.

Hair (under surface) out first.

Tan (on surface) next.

Nails (above skin level) last.

But chuck in exfoliation beforehand.

I would wax first, then leave roughly 48 hours before getting a tan, then nails. Also exfoliate before your wax

Wax, tan, nails. Fine to do tan and nails back to back but wax is best day before in my experience. If I'm going on a Saturday I book waxing on Wednesday (plus a facial if feeling really flush) then nails (hand and feet) Thursday, I personally skip the tan these days

I'd have said the same as @Spookyseasonmum

Wax and nails then spray tan as soon as the hair follicles have calmed down. Usually 4 to 5 days.

Don’t get your nails done after your tan.
