Custom Spray Tanning in San Diego

Looking for a flawless, natural-looking tan without the harmful effects of UV exposure? Spray tanning at Firefly Spa is the perfect solution. Our sunless tan service gives you instant, radiant color with no beach time required.

Spray tanning is a safe and effective form of sunless tanning where a fine mist containing Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is applied to the skin. This ingredient reacts with your skin’s amino acids to create a temporary tan that typically lasts 5 to 10 days, depending on preparation and aftercare.

Whether you’re prepping for a special event or just want that everyday glow, our professional spray tanning service in San Diego offers a fast, comfortable experience with beautiful results.

Rapid Tan $70 ($59 for Members)

The Rapid Tan requires a warm water rinse (no soap) 1-3 hours after application. Rinse with warm water only in 1 hour for a light tan, 2 hours for a medium tan or 3 hours for a dark tan. Full color will develop in 24 hours.

 

Before Your Spray Tan

For the best, longest-lasting glow, prep is key. Exfoliate thoroughly 24 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin and create a smooth canvas. Arrive with clean, dry skin (no lotions, oils, deodorant, perfume, or makeup). Wear loose, dark clothing and avoid tight shoes or bras that could rub or crease the tan while it develops. If you prefer to wear undergarments during your tan, make sure they are dark. Disposable underwear can be provided, if needed.

After Your Spray Tan

Your glow is just getting started! Avoid water, sweating, and tight clothing until your rinse time. Rinse with just water (no soap) 1 to 2 hours after the application to achieve a light tan, 3 to 4 hours after to achieve a medium tan, and 4 to 5 hours after to achieve a dark tan. After rinsing, moisturize daily with an oil-free lotion to keep your tan hydrated and even. Skip exfoliation, long hot showers, and chlorinated pools to extend the life of your tan. With proper care, your spray tan will fade evenly and keep you glowing for days.

I was very impressed with my tan from Kristi at Firefly Spa in San Diego. She was professional, friendly, and gave me the most gorgeous sun-kissed tan.

The ladies look at me in a new light. A darker light. Love my tan from Kristi.
