Your Downtown L.A. Guide to a Flawless Custom Spray Tan

Whether you’re getting ready for a special event, a photoshoot, or just want to feel your best, a great spray tan can completely boost your confidence. But if you're in Downtown L.A. — or anywhere nearby — finding the right spray tan artist can make all the difference between a natural, glowy finish and something that feels... not so natural.

After specializing in custom airbrush tanning for over a decade, I’ve picked up a few tips that can help you find the right fit — and get a tan you’ll love every time.

1. Look for True Customization

Every skin tone is different. Every client’s goals are different. A great custom tan should be tailored not only to your skin tone, but also to your event and schedule. Whether you want a soft sun-kissed glow or a deeper, bronzed finish, customization is everything when it comes to a natural result.

2. Check Portfolio Photos — Carefully

One of the best ways to tell if a spray tan artist is a good match for you? Look at real client results — and check for photos in different lighting, like natural sunlight, indoor events, and professional shoots.

A good portfolio will show tans that look consistent, even, and flattering across all types of settings.

3. Prep and Aftercare Support Matters

A flawless tan isn’t just about the session itself — prep and aftercare make a huge difference. You should always feel guided on how to properly prepare your skin and care for your tan afterward. It’s a team effort that starts before you even walk into the studio.

4. Location and Convenience

If you’re near Downtown L.A., my studio is centrally located with easy valet parking (no apps, no meters, no stress). It’s one less thing to worry about on a busy day — just pull up, tan, and go.

If you're looking for a natural, confident glow — whether it's for a wedding, photoshoot, or just because — I'd love to help you find your perfect shade.
