Lindsay is just a gem, this was my first spray tan and she made sure I fully understood the process and made me feel very comfortable. Super sweet gal and I can tell the tan was applied thoroughly - can't wait to see the final results as my tan develops. Will definitely be back! read more

Hands down the best spray tan experience ever! My friend and I came to Shade Collective before my bachelorette weekend, and I can't say enough good things about this place. From the moment we walked in, Lindsay and her team made us feel so comfortable and confident. They really took the time to ask what look we wanted and helped us choose the perfect shade for each of our skin tones. The studio itself is stunning! Clean, modern, and super easy to find. The process was quick, seamless, and honestly so relaxing. And the results? Absolutely flawless. The color developed beautifully and looked natural, glowy, and even -- no streaks, no orange tint, just the perfect bronze. I live in Orange County, but after this experience I'll happily be making the drive to San Diego for all my spray tans. 1000/10 recommend Shade Collective to anyone looking for that perfect sun-kissed glow! read more

Shade Collective - Cute signage! - Spray Tanning Near Me - San Diego, California

If I could give them 1000 stars I would. As a fitness instructor, I sweat a lot and most days... so spray tans aren't something I get regularly. I also am gifted in melanin so it's usually for photo shoots, special occasions, or something important. I made the mistake of going to another place that offered me a deal to try their spot and I would have paid double at Shade Collective over even a free tan anywhere else because the quality is just unmatched. Shade Collective is a different breed. She takes her time, pays attention to details, and the moisture seal, powder and contouring are all just amazing add-ons to an already incredible service. The color is always perfection and I am guaranteed compliments every time. With proper care, even the sweatiest weeks teaching a ton leave me with a lasting glow and even fading... I seriously don't know how she does it but the level of care shows and I'm telling you: excels past other places. Once you go Shade Collective, you just cannot go back... thank goodness they exist. read more

I've been looking for a spray tan salon for years!!! Every place I would go I always came out orange and I gave up looking. Then I coworker of mine told me about this place so I decided I would try one last time. I'm just an unfortunate girl that doesn't tan naturally, I turn red, then back to pale. I was BEYOND IN LOVE with my spray tan at shade collective!! Im so relieved to have found a spot that I come out feeling great and confident with a golden tan!!! I literally get one everytime I go somewhere now. Trip to Hawaii, done, trip to Disneyland, booked, trip to my living room, for sure. Prices are more than reasonable with the results you get!! They are the BEST!! read more

What a great experience at Shade Collective, lots of thoughtful touches and individual attention, I'll be back!

By far the best tan ever!! Lindsay is amazing and really understands skin types. She makes sure the color is customized to your tone and skin type for the ultimate tan. Her work is very thorough and the blending is flawless, even on mamas like me with dry skin and redness. Always super professional and the new shop is really nice. Book today and get them short shorts out! read more

As someone with very fair skin, I had the best spray tan experience with Lindsay at Shade Collective! The color was so natural, I looked so sunkissed and bronzed at a wedding this past weekend!

I could not be happier with my experience and results I get with Shade Collective. Lindsey always takes the time to understand my desired shade and always make sure I'm comfortable throughout the entire process. I always walk away oving how natural my tan looks! I never have that weird orange tint that some spray tans are notorious for. Plus, my tans always last over a week! Overall I HIGHLY recommend Shade Collective for anyone needing a glowing upgrade. read more

Have you ever had a bad spray tan? I have. The anxiety of getting a spray tan before an event or trip has been real for me. Until I found Shade Collective. I'm a fair skin girl with freckles. Sometimes I just want a healthy golden glow, sometimes I want to actually be tan. SC totally nails it every, single, time. No more worries of a weird orange color or funky smell. No more worries of fingers or feet or knees being too dark or not evenly tanned. I love the rapid formula that I can shower in 4-6 hours depending on how dark I want to be. 10/10 every time. Lindsay is my open beauty secret. read more

I've gotten 3 tans by Lindsay; for my bachelorette in Cancun, boudoir photos, and my sister in law's bachelorette. I've done the rapid solution every time. I always love how natural it comes out- I never have weird marks on my hands or feet and I never feel orange. When I'm really good about after care and using moisturizer and not taking super hot showers, they last for about a week! Really happy with the services she provides and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a spray tan :) read more

I love how seamlessly they handle everything on Google Chat! From scheduling appointments to answering all my questions, it's a fantastic experience. My tanning sessions have been great - the staff is friendly, and I always feel super comfortable. Highly recommend! read more

I opted for a spray tan for my wedding. Gone are the days of basking in the sun for hours without worrying about melanoma! I purchased the package deal where I could see what it looks like before the big day. First spray tan ever - I went with the rapid tan & Lindsay did not disappoint! She was super professional & easy to talk to throughout the process. Afterward she gave me a card indicating when I can shower & tips on extending the life of the tan. Everything was exactly as she said it would be - a little too dark at first and then after 48-72hrs it's *chefs kiss*. My perfect time was 72hrs & so I decided to get my wedding tan on Wednesday for a Saturday wedding and it was just beyond perfection! Never sticky, never orange or streaky, not too dark or too light. And if you obey the rules, it'll stick around for a week or longer!! Thank you Lindsay!!! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Shade Collective, but for the sake of the yelp researcher I'll keep it short & sweet. I have never had such a consistently positive experience from a spray tanning salon before! I have tried several spots in San Diego and unfortunately was always left with a result that was too orange to pass as natural. The formula that Linsday uses, however, finally yields the bronzed goddess results that are seemingly far out of reach for a fair girl like me. Baddies, choose SC. You'll never look back. read more

Referred by my hairstylist and couldn't recommend more! The process was super easy and Lindsay was warm, welcoming and kind. Loved how she asked questions to get to know me and the event I was getting a tan for as well as talking me through the process. I will definitely be coming back and telling everyone about this lovely place. read more

Got my first spray tan EVER about a month ago and honestly I'll never go to anyone else!! I have three young children so the fact that Shade COMES TO YOU?? Game changer! Lindsay was so informative and I felt so comfortable her. I'm getting married this weekend so of course I had to schedule another appointment. I'm so excited, Shade makes me feel so confident and pampered right from the comfort of my home! read more

Loved my spray tan! It was my first spray tan experience which I was a little nervous about but Lindsay did an amazing job. Gave me the perfect glow for my vacation, definitely recommend! read more

Shade Collective is my go-to spot for my custom spray tans! I've had many spray tans before and the ones I get at Shade Collective look the most natural (no orange!) and last the longest when I follow the aftercare tips. Another thing I love is they use all natural solutions so you're not breathing in heavy chemicals! Thank you Lindsay for all my custom tans this past year! Highly recommend 10/10. read more

Lindsay did an outstanding job. I hadn't had a spray tan forever & was skeptical of the smell. However whatever she uses was perfect. The tan was amazing & I got so many compliments for the all white party I attended. My birthday is coming up & I will be getting another tan from her. Best part is, she comes to your home... very clean, polite, and walks you through the process with ease. read more

Shade Collective - Love the glow!!!! - Spray Tanning Near Me - San Diego, California

If you want the most glowing and natural looking spray tan, look no further!! Lindsay is the sweetest and so accommodating. The products are high quality and are great for the skin. Lindsay is especially careful when applying the product on the hands and feet which can be a dead giveaway with a spray tan. Love Shade Collective! read more

I'm so happy I found Lindsay and the Shade Collective. I've been so unhappy with other spray tanning businesses. Let me tell you - I trusted the reviews, and they did not disappoint! Lindsay is so detailed and spends time making sure she's giving you a very even tan - she even blends your wrists/hands and feet/ankles. I got the rapid tan and it was such a beautiful natural color. My tan lasted about 7 days and it faded naturally, no blotchiness here! I highly recommend booking your next spray tan with Lindsay! read more

Lindsay is the most professional tanner I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. If anything, she should charge more for her services as it's a true white glove experience. I receive many compliments after I get tanned at Shade Collective. There are other local tanning salons that charge the same if not more and are not nearly as clean, luxurious, and long lasting as this spot. She goes above and beyond and if I could give her ten stars I would. read more

Since I'm not a regular tanner, Lindsay was so patient in answering all my aftercare questions plus she's easy to talk to! The session was quick, parking was easy, and her suite was aesthetically pleasing. I opted for the rapid tan and never felt sticky or uncomfortable before my rinse time. She might turn me into a regular tanner =) Highly recommend! read more

Lindsay is an expert at her craft (coming from a former tanning artist). She's very personable and professional.
