BlushTan San Diego Encinitas

BlushTan San Diego is a spray tanning business with studios in Bankers Hill (San Diego), Encinitas and La Jolla. Its stated mission is to offer realistic-looking sunless tans made with natural ingredients, and it serves the wider San Diego area, including clients from Pacific Beach, Del Mar, Carlsbad, Mission Hills, Downtown and North County.

Each visit starts with a color consultation that takes natural coloring into account before a tone is mixed. The business does not use one shade for everyone: it offers several color bases, each with multiple darkness levels, and consultants can mix over 100 colors. Only certified blushPRO consultants mix the colors, and a complimentary pH balancing treatment is added to every custom blend.

Studio appointments take about 20 minutes and mobile appointments about 30 minutes. Mobile tanning can take place at a home, hotel, Airbnb or fitness studio and is requested by email. In studio, disposable thongs, nose filters, face masks, and eye and nipple covers are provided. A full-body service includes the face, which can be left out on request, and clients can ask that specific areas not be sprayed.

The range covers several needs: express options with timed rinses, a clear tan with no bronzer that does not transfer to clothing or sheets, bridal tans for engagement shoots, bridal showers and bachelorette parties, and pregnancy tans. Group tanning parties can be hosted privately at a studio or on location for bridal parties, cheer and dance teams, sororities, graduations, prom, concerts, competitions and girls' nights. Packages, gift cards and the business's own products are sold through its shop.

Each tan is built around the client's natural coloring, skin type and preferences, with the color mixed by a certified consultant. The business describes its approach as realistic results from natural ingredients.
