Elite Experience: Get Bronzed at Spray Nation Tan

I already posted a review to their main page but I just can’t stop there! Mariana was my tan pro and she was awesome. She was friendly and professional and made me feel welcome. She also did a bang up job!!!
This is probably my favorite spray tan I’ve gotten in south Florida so I highly recommend!!! Looks natural & everyone keeps asking when I found time to go to the beach, perfection.

So I got my very first spray tan ever!!! And Spray Nation Tan gets 5 stars hands down for their:
— Great customer service
— Friendly and welcoming staff
— Top of the line organic products
— Flawless spray finishes on the body
I highly recommend Naadei! She did my spray tan and is magnificent at it!!! So if you are wanting to give spray tanning a try, look and think no further! Spray Nation tan is a no brainer! I was thrilled with the turnout and got an amazing J-​lo body glow!
Tip: if you are a first timer, you just don’t know how important it is to STAY DRY until u get caught in a torrential down pour :$ As soon as I stepped out of the salon, due to this crazy unpredictable Miami weather, the worst of the worst happened to me… yep…It started to rain!!! Naadei, who had done an incredible job, was so sweet and concerned that I preserve my tan and stay dry, she chased me down the elevator with an umbrella… but my I-didn’t-know-any-better self was like «Oh no, I’ll be fine! I have an umbrella!» But after walking in the rain and once I got in my car, I realized the wind had blown rain on my arms and water seeped through my clothes and there went my amazing glow :(((sure enough, when I got home I had rain blotches all over :$ So in panic I called the salon immediately and they suggested I shower ASAP and graciously offered me a complimentary ‘rain check’ spray tan at my earliest convenience :)) can’t wait til my next j-​glow! :)) yay!!! Spray Nation Tan saved the day!!! Like I said… AMAZING customer service!

First, I’d like to thank Cassie for being such a rock star in getting the elites such great opportunities to try out different business in the 305. You are amazing and everything you do is appreciated!
Onto my spray tan experience. Initially, I was a little reluctant to try it out because I’m naturally tan so I’ve never seen the point in it but I thought it would be worth a try since I’m leaving to Philly for a week on Monday and wouldn’t mind having a nice glow in the snow. From the moment I walked in I was greeted by Mariana, Naadei and Joe. They were all wonderful and welcoming! The spot is just so warm and nicely decorated, I really enjoyed the vibe of it all.
I had the pleasure of having Naadie perform (don’t know what better verb to use lol) the spray tan. She was very detailed in her explanation of the process through out each step, especially considering I was a first timer. We talked for the most part of the session so the time went by very quickly and once it was done I could immediately see my skin had a gorgeous glow. Since I opted to go nude I couldn’t really compare the shade difference from before but it was exactly the color I had in mind going into it.
Naadei then explained what I could and could not do post session which was very helpful. It’s been over 24 hours and I can say that the glow still looks fabulous and I’ve even received compliments today about my nice tan. I love everything that Spray Nation Tan is about and I would definitely go back!

Full disclosure: This was my first time getting a spray tan and I could be more nervous! I walked in to Spray Nation Tan and at once I was welcomed by their super friendly staff and Cassie who was there to set up the event. I instantly felt more at ease. I was offered a mimosa, which definitely helped with the nerves. My spray tan was done by Mariana who was super nice and down to earth. She talked me through the process which was basically being naked except for a disposable thong you wear. You can go full Monty if you want to (which I might have done if I had had a second mimosa!). So basically, you move around periodically while she sprays every single inch of your body with her airbrush tool thingy. As she does it I notice she sprays at angles that flatter your body and around your curves as if she was actually spray painting on a canvas. The end result makes me look as if I have been at the beach for a couple of hours on a hot, cloudless day minus the sweating and the sand! Glowing and pretty close to flawless, I am definitely going to come back when I have a special event to go to in the future.
Pro tip: They offer a discount on Tuesdays!

Being that I’m in my senior year of college, I’ve unfortunately been stuck inside my study cave, growing paler and paler by the second. So you can just imagine how incredibly grateful and excited I was for Spray Nation Tan’s «Get Bronzed» event.
The staff was immensely welcoming and warm. They made me feel as comfortable as I am at home. They immediately offered a glass of water or a mimosa (which I totally would have taken if I didn’t have to take a midterm exam immediately after) and thoroughly answered all of my questions (it was my very first time getting a spray tan!).
The process is pretty quick and relaxing. I thought I’d be nervous and probably even embarrassed, but the staff is very easy-​going and down-​to-​earth, making you feel as comfortable as possible. You’re in a private room with ventilation and soft music playing in the background. The technician will spray with a device — it’s just a light mist and it’s not really cold. After turning around a few times periodically, you dry for just a few quick minutes, and you’re all done!
After waiting 8 hours to shower and see my tan fully developed, I couldn’t possibly be any happier! The tan is sooo natural looking and the color and intensity are absolutely perfect. I went from pale to perfectly golden. Let me say it again: I’m sooo happy!
I’ll definitely come back some time again! And again! And… again!

I can’t wait to show off my new sun-​kissed look at tomorrow’s wedding! Long overdue for a spray tan, mainly due to lack of knowledge and recommendation of a great place to go, but now, answer solved! Thank you Spray Tan Nation!
I was mortified when the proofs from a wedding two weeks ago came back a few days ago and every other bridesmaid had gotten a spray tan ahead of time, gee, thanks for the memo… so now I will forever be in those photos as «Casper», lovely! Filter please!!! After that eye opening experience, a” Spray Tan” was already on my radar as a «must have» for tomorrow’s wedding but I had no idea where to go. I am so happy that Cassie stumbled upon this fabulous Spay Tanning salon just down the street from where I live, Spray Tan Nation. She raved about Spray Tan Nation and only had great things to say and she couldn’t have been more on point! The staff was fabulous and the salon was highly professional and clean.
If you know me at all or have seen me in person, or even just my picture, you will know that I am the walking epitome of what a «native Floridian» stereotypically isn’t due to my vitamin D deficient appearance. I am a true native Miami Beachite, and with that, comes the daily battle of how master not be exposed to UVA/​UVB rays. I am of Eastern European descent and with that comes my naturally blonde hair, light eyes, and extremely fair skin which also puts me in the tier I category for melanoma, aka skin cancer. So despite the fact that I live on the beach, it’s nice to look at but you will rarely find me there during sunning hours. Also, with my thirties just around the corner, I will do whatever I need to at this point to avoid my first wrinkle and starting injectables and the number one way to do that is to stay out of the sun!
In a town filled with beautiful people, keeping up your appearance is high priority (oh the pressure!) After today’s experience, I will most definitely become a regular at Spray Tan Nation. The whole experience at this salon was truly top notch, from the second I was greeted to the final second that I walked out the door. The staff was extremely friendly and personable from start to finish and has a way of making you comfortable and beautiful. I loved that they did a consult and showed me pictures of some of their vitamin D deficient clients and how their like to do a more natural look and don’t like to over bronze. I’ve been in a pageant before so unluckily for me, my first spray tanning experience didn’t go over so well. So with the wedding tomorrow, I was quite anxious as I did not want to look that dark and unnatural ever again. Voila! After 8 hours, I look gorgeous and feel confident and I will go to bed tonight so excited for tomorrow.
This elite event was a life saver and I could not be more grateful to attend this once again, well executed Elite event, go Cassie go! The small touches and attention to detail, nailed it! From the Unilocal delicious cupcakes from LA Sweets to the cool Unilocal shades I rocked all afternoon, followed by the Unilocal mints I will now keep in my purse and the delicious cucumber water, thank you for a fantastic day of pampering and knowing how to make a girl feel special. Great to see some new and old faces and make new friends within the Unilocal Community. Until the next Unilocal event… SYOY!
