good to know
everything you need to know before your visit
When should I schedule my spray tan?
We recommend scheduling your spray tan appointment for 2-3 days before an event or the day before a trip.
When can I shower after my tan?
We offer different rinse times to fit your schedule! All of our rinse options deliver the same beautiful, long-lasting results. The only difference is how soon you can take your first shower.
Before your first shower: You'll need to avoid water, sweating, and tight clothing to protect your developing tan.
After your first rinse, you can resume normal activities without those restrictions. Your tan will continue developing over the next several hours.
Our Express and Super Express options are guest favorites because you can rinse sooner, reducing the time you need to be careful with your tan. Plus, you won't have to sleep in the temporary bronzer that's applied during your appointment.
Our Super Express option is also available in clear, meaning there's no temporary bronzer on your skin when you leave the studio. It's a great choice for a natural-looking tan, especially if you're concerned about the bronzer temporarily darkening freckles or sunspots, also a bridal favorite!
How do I find the La Jolla studio, and where should I park?
We're located at 7863 Girard Avenue, Suite 305, inside La Plaza shopping center at the corner of Girard Avenue and Wall Street in downtown La Jolla.
You'll find us on the third (top) floor, right next to Catania Restaurant.
Free street parking is available in the surrounding area, or you can use the paid parking garage at Life Time Fitness on Herschel Avenue.
We recommend allowing a few extra minutes to find parking and make your way upstairs.
What should I know before my first appointment?
Come with clean, exfoliated skin, free of lotions, oils, deodorant, and makeup. Complete any other beauty services, such as nails, facials, waxing, or massages, before your spray tan appointment.
You can wear as much or as little as you'd like during the service, just keep in mind that anything you wear during your tan will leave a tan line. Bring a change of loose-fitting, dark clothing and ideally flip flops to wear after your service. Your appointment takes just 20 minutes, and your spray tan will be custom-blended to complement your natural skin tone. We'll walk you through everything, including your rinse time and aftercare.
