San Diego Tanning Salons - Stay Sun-Kissed All Year!

Published : 12/15/2006 by Michelle Guerin

   
There is an undeniable behind-the-scenes pressure on San Diegans to uphold a sun-kissed skin tone year round.


But let's face it—despite SD's rep, the fleeting sun doesn't always favor the bronze side of the eclipse. One thing is for sure: pasty blue is a frightening hue no one wants to see!  That's why we're thankful for San Diego's tanning salons.


Listen up, chameleons—sans-sun innovation is your ultimate skin salvation.


Hollywood Tans, Various Locations


Hollywood Tans, aka the largest chain of professional tanning salons in the nation, is unparalleled in luxury tanning techniques. Read: red carpet chic. Goin' nude in these Hollywood salons might not center you in the spotlight of shame, but it will earn you some real raves.


With an obscene number of salons from New York to California and ten San Diego tanning salons alone, Hollywood Tans really is taking the world by storm. Sick of guest lists and lines at hauteur SD lounges? These SD hotspots (get it?) each have at least 15 beds, ensuring a no-wait and no-appointment policy. True Hollywood Story: higher level of service, best quality in mystic and traditional tans and last but not least a flawless airbrush finish to complete the star, or starlet, look you've always wanted.


Hollywood Tans offers 10 salons in the greater San Diego area, including the following 8 featured salons: Pacific Beach Hollywood Tans, Clairemont Hollywood Tans, Gaslamp Hollywood Tans, Sports Arena Hollywood Tans, Mission Valley Hollywood Tans, Mira Mesa Hollywood Tans, Oceanside Hollywood Tans, and the brand new El Cajon Hollywood Tans.

 

 

iTan San Diego


The golden-brown bigwigs behind iTAN boast loyal customers, a clean atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, and modern equipment. According to the salon, the psychological and general health benefits of sunless tanning include stress reduction, increased sex drive and heightened resistance to the common cold. No wonder iTAN keeps satisfying San Diegans! Cut the stress, up the pleasure, forget the flu– oh, and pick up a tan along the way. Here's the skinny - iTAN salons offer high-pressure tanning beds, UV free tanning that is completely devoid of ultra violet rays, and the Mystic Tan spray system that delivers uniform color to even the most pigment-challenged.

 

Always Tan in Solana Beach


Don't fret—Always Tan isn't mocking your inability to stay up to par. This San Diego tanning salon is full of little extras that leave a huge impact. Always Tan dives deeper than the skin's surface, offering infrared body wraps and teeth whitening treatments. Warning: do not mix up these procedures! Just remember that skin equals golden brown, teeth equal white—not the other way around. 


Here's the scoop: Always Tan offers special leg tanning beds. Designed to shade every contour of your stems, these beds leave no obnoxious stripes or creases behind. Just one session in the FormoStar infrared body wrap is deemed to knock off 1200 calories, while detoxifying your muscles and skin. And it's always five o'clock at AT—the "California cocktail special" includes one session in a high pressure bed in addition to a mystic tan for a perfect just-left-the-beach glow.


San Diego Mobile Tanning

 

The latest trend in the faux tanning revolution is mobile tanning in San Diego - catering to those craving a quick bronze in the comfort of their own home. This mobile tanning fad is also perfect for girly pampering parties during the summer.
