what people are saying

  • Jackie Y.

    I’ve been self tanning for over a decade and I’ve done dozens of spray tans. I can honestly say this one feels, looks, and fades better than any tan I’ve gotten! Lindsay does a thorough job in the consultation and gets to know your goals, makes you feel comfortable, and then applies a great spray tan. My skin loves her product and I didn’t feel sticky or uncomfortable afterwards. 10/10 would recommend.

  • Brittney W.

    I've gotten several spray tans at Shade Collective and they turn out perfect every time. Doesn't matter who you book with your tan will turn out incredible! I love the cute space + always feel comfortable there. Parking lot is easy, I always find a spot!

  • Mary B.

    As someone who has been getting spray tans for 10 years, I can say with certainty that Shade provides a superior spray tan experience. They take the time to understand your goals, mix a color specific to you, and then have your specific mix ready at your next appointment. The application is flawlessly even and lasts longer than any tan I’ve had! The girls make you feel so comfortable throughout the whole process too. Cannot recommend enough!
