What to Expect From an At-Home Spray Tan in Los Angeles
If you've never had a mobile spray tan before, you might be wondering how the whole thing works. Do I need a special space? Will there be spray tan everywhere? Do I need to prepare anything?
The good news? It's actually pretty simple!
I've been spray tanning clients throughout Los Angeles since 2013, and after years of offering both studio and mobile appointments, L.A. Sun Spray Tan is now exclusively mobile. That means I bring the professional spray tanning experience directly to you, whether you're at home, in your apartment, or staying at a hotel.
Here's exactly what to expect.
1. I Bring Everything to You
One of the best things about mobile spray tanning is that you don't have to go anywhere.
I arrive with my professional spray tanning equipment, a portable pop-up tanning tent, and everything needed for your appointment.
The tent helps contain the overspray, so you don't have to worry about turning your space into a spray tan studio. I just need a suitable little area to set up. No special tanning room required!
I've sprayed clients in everything from downtown LA apartments to beautiful homes in Beverly Hills and hotel suites throughout Los Angeles.
And yes, I take care of setting up and packing everything away afterward.
2. We Choose Your Perfect Shade & Solution
Before we get started, we'll talk about the look you're going for.
Maybe you want a subtle, natural-looking glow, or maybe you're heading on vacation and want something a little deeper.
I'll help you choose the best option based on your desired results and preferred rinse time. We can also tailor the application to your preferences, whether that means a little extra color on your legs or keeping certain areas lighter.
The goal is always a beautiful, even, natural-looking tan that leaves you feeling your best.
3. The Actual Spray Tan Takes About 10–15 Minutes
Yes, really!
Once we're ready, the actual application only takes about 10–15 minutes per person.
I'll guide you through the positioning so we get nice, even coverage, including those easy-to-miss areas.
Between setup, choosing your shade, the application, and packing up, most individual appointments take about 30 minutes.
It's quick, easy, and you get to enjoy the convenience of being in your own space.
4. Where Should I Set Up My Mobile Spray Tan?
You don't need a dedicated room or a ton of space! Just clear a spot with enough room for my portable tanning tent and equipment, and make sure there's an electrical outlet nearby.
A bathroom (if the tent fits!), an open living area, or even an outdoor patio can work. A space with good airflow is ideal, too.
I'll take care of setting everything up, protecting the surrounding area, and packing everything away when we're finished. Easy!
5. How Should I Prepare for My Spray Tan?
A little prep makes all the difference!
I recommend shaving, showering, and exfoliating the day before your appointment. Moisturize afterward, and on the day of your tan, there's no additional skin prep needed!
Just make sure your skin is free of makeup, deodorant, and lotions, remove any jewelry, and have some loose, dark clothing ready to wear afterward. That's it!

6. How Much Does Mobile Spray Tanning Cost in Los Angeles?
Mobile spray tan appointments start at $125, with pricing depending on your location, appointment time, and any additional travel requirements.
I offer mobile spray tanning throughout Los Angeles, including Downtown LA, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Brentwood, Hollywood Hills, Silver Lake, Pasadena, and surrounding areas.
I also accommodate group spray tans, whether you're getting ready for a wedding, bachelorette weekend, vacation, photoshoot, or just want to get glowing with your friends.
