BlushTan San Diego Wins Big at the La Jolla Village News Reader's Choice Awards 2023!
Hi everyone, exciting news from BlushTan San Diego! We’re thrilled to share that we’ve been voted the Best Tanning Salon and snagged the Gold Medal in the La Jolla Village News Reader's Choice Awards 2023.
This isn't our first time—we were awarded Best Tanning Salon in 2022 as well! A huge thank you to our amazing community for all your love and support!
For those of you who don’t know us yet, here is a little of our backstory–we opened our first studio in the beautiful La Jolla Cove back in 2014. Since then, we’ve expanded our sunny vibes to North County and downtown San Diego. Plus, we offer mobile services so we can bring the glow to you!
At BlushTan San Diego, our mission is simple: to give you a healthy, natural-looking tan that suits every skin tone, every time. Our tans may be fake, but our people definitely aren’t. We keep it real by featuring actual clients in our ads—no retouched bodies or blinged-out bikinis here. We embrace our natural selves and love celebrating the little things, like how fantastic our legs look with a fresh spray tan!
We totally get that the idea of being undressed in front of a stranger can be intimidating for first-timers. We’ve all been there! That’s why we promise to make you feel as comfortable as possible from the moment you step into our studio.
One of the things we’re most proud of is our commitment to providing customized tanning solutions. Forget the one-color-fits-all approach. We use the exclusive blushtan® professional solutions, which include a variety of color bases and levels of darkness. This allows us to mix over 100 different custom colors, ensuring you get the perfect tan for your unique skin tone.
And the best part? All our products are doctor-formulated with your health in mind. So you can enjoy that gorgeous glow guilt-free!

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes BlushTan San Diego the "Best Tanning Salon" in La Jolla? It’s all about the customization and the experience! Unlike big-box tanning chains, we offer over 100 custom color blends using our exclusive BlushTan® professional solutions. This, combined with our focus on real skin, real bodies, and a comfortable, welcoming environment, is why the community has voted us #1 two years in a row.
Can I get a "Clear" spray tan at all three San Diego locations? Yes! Our award-winning Clear Super Express tan is available at our La Jolla, Bankers Hill, and Encinitas studios. It’s a local favorite because you can walk out of your appointment and straight to lunch in La Jolla Cove or a meeting downtown without any bronzer rub-off on your clothes.
Are your tanning solutions safe for sensitive skin? Absolutely. Our solutions are doctor-formulated and prioritize skin health. They are hypoallergenic, vegan, and free of harsh chemicals, parabens, and alcohols. This "skin-first" approach is a big reason why San Diegans trust us for their regular glow.
What if I can't make it to one of your award-winning studios? We bring the gold-medal experience to you! We offer Mobile Spray Tan services across San Diego County. You can enjoy the same professional, custom-blended tan in the comfort and privacy of your own home or hotel.
I’m nervous about being undressed; what is the studio environment like? We pride ourselves on being a body-positive space. Our consultants are trained to make you feel completely at ease. Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, we provide a professional, judgment-free zone where you can feel confident while getting your tan.
