San Diego Spray Tanning

The studio is in Temecula and describes itself as San Diego's premiere luxury sunless tanning studio. It cites more than 200 five-star reviews, and it calls its spray tan training best in class while inviting people to start their own spray tan business.

Before the airbrush application, the artist builds a custom solution blend for each client. The studio's sweat-resistant solution is described as including anti-aging ingredients, and clients can choose retail XTan products to take home before their appointment.

Services fall into three groups. Spray tanning includes The Glow Up custom tan, which has a 2 to 8 hour rinse time and includes a pH-balancing prep spray, hydration mist and full-body drying powder; Red Carpet Sculpt, a 45-minute airbrushed 3D contouring session covering the face, collarbone, arms, legs, stomach and buttocks; and Mobile Tan-Glow On the Go, which uses a professional mobile tanning tent and extraction system and includes a custom color match and mini-contouring. Additional travel for mobile visits is available on request.

The bridal tan, The Radiant Bride, includes a custom trial tan and a personalized wedding day tan, and it is offered to the entire wedding party. Its sweat-resistant bridal solution contains hydrating moisturizers, botanical extracts, oil, vitamins and antioxidants.

Piercings are done with an instrument described as FDA medical grade, using sterile single-use earrings and a cleaning solution. Options include a single earlobe piercing with jewelry and aftercare, a nose piercing with a hypoallergenic stud, a spare stud and an aftercare kit, and a two-earring ear lobe piercing for ages 6 months and up.

The Glow Like a Local membership costs $25 a month and gives members 50% off spray tanning at each visit. Military members and teachers receive 10% off all services. Appointment changes need 24 hours' notice, and late changes or missed appointments carry a cancellation fee of 50% of the appointment cost. Unopened retail products can be returned within 7 days if requested in writing, with a restocking fee of up to 20% on some returns; facemasks and opened or used products cannot be returned.

Each tan starts with a custom solution blend made for that client, and the studio works to match tone and blend the color evenly.
