The Tan Can

This place rocks! I am super white naturally. All other tans have made me orange. I like to get the express tan over the regular tan so that I can shower in a couple hours. I love it! Scheduling is easy. Trish is amazing. She makes you feel comfortable and always always always does a great job. The tan looks great. I feel 100% better in every outfit after I get this tan. I totally recommend this place! If you are going out that night, ask for the express tan!

Trish is an expert! I was in a jam a few weeks ago, invited last minute to be a plus 1 at a wedding, and she was able to get me in right away. I have had dozens of tans at several different locations in CA and Austin and this was by far the best one. The pictures turned out great and the tan lasted a week. The powder she uses eliminates that sticky post tan feeling, she sent me home with a bag of it to use on future tans. I will definitely be back!

The best tan I have ever had in my life! Trish really knows what she is doing, and I am convinced she uses the best solution in Austin! The salon where she is located is clean, and nice too. All over, this was a good experience. If you are ghost white, or even olive colored, they can make you look sun kissed. Besides looking like you’ve been laying out at the beach all month long, the solution isn’t sticky & yucky feeling either. I will never go anywhere else for my airbrush tan. This place ROCKS!

I’m Irish, so a ‘real life’ tan just turns me red and pink. I thought I would try a spray tan but the booths always made me orange. Giving it one last chance to try and get a tan I went to The Tan Can and finally got the perfect glow without turning a different color!
I love how the tan can look gave me that subtle sun-​kissed look and that no one knows that it’s a spray tan — instead I just get compliments that I look great and fresh! It’s my favorite secret.

The best, healthiest, most natural looking tan in town! LOVE how customizable their colors are and the attention to detail they give in the session. I’ve never liked spray tans until I went to The Tan Can. The entire process is like a real, luxurious spa treatment except you walk out tan and feeling great about yourself! ;) Their solution is organic AND they have a clear one that doesn’t have bronzers in it that I loooove. No one knows I’ve been spray tanned when they see me, they just say I look really good or healthy, etc. The Tan Can is a truly one-​of-​a-​kind airbrush tanning experience. Now my entire family goes weekly!

Love.The.Tan.Can! Everything about it is of the highest quality — the tanning solution, the skin care products and most importantly, the results! Trish is amazing. She is equally professional and friendly; her personality and the studio design put me at ease the second I walked through the door. Highly, highly recommend!

The Tan Can is amazing. I would go no where else. Trish makes you feel so comfortable, if your first time, and the results are incredible AND CONSISTENT. No orange, no white knuckles or knees. She is so fun, and so accommodating to your schedule, you’d be crazy not to use her. She has gotten super busy because she is so in demand, so be sure and call in advance and book an appt. AND her skin care line is fantastic. Soaps that help sustain the tan, bronzers, moisturizers– you name it. She uses organic and all natural products. All are highly recommended. All I can say is TAN your CANS with Trish!

I haven’t seen Trish since my not-​so-​great results from my last visit, but she has been VERY responsive to my original review and therefore she deserves a little cred for that. She’s followed up with me not once, but twice and has offered to re-​do the tan or refund my money. I haven’t taken her up on either, but it’s still very nice to see a business owner willing to work with their «negative cases» and try to make it right. It’s definitely appreciated!

This could sound cliché, but let me preface this review by saying I hardly ever find a business/​service worthy of me spending the time to get online and review… The Tan Can is the reason I have set up a Unilocal account and will start to become better about praising people with reviews.
I am a recent college graduate and after four years in Austin have just moved to Houston. During my time there I trusted Trish with tans for every occasion, family portraits, springs breaks, and even graduation… and was NEVER disappointed.
Not only is Trish extremely sweet and kind, she also genuinely cares about each of her customers and each tan she gives them. For example, one time I personally messed my tan up because I had accidentally spilt water on myself on my way home and she told me to come back the next day and she would «fix me» free of charge.
If you have never gotten a «spray tan» you must! Having a tan not only makes you look great and is safe, but it also boosts your confidence like you wouldn’t believe!
I feel more comfortable standing there «au natural» in front of Trish than I do in front of some people fully clothed.
I am sad to say I have not found a place here in Houston that offers as great of a spray tan experience as Trish does, and am highly considering driving to Austin every other week to get my tan on!

Trish is awesome! I was a spray tan newbie and she made me feel so comfortable. You can wear a suit or go au natural (she even has suits if you forget yours). She reassured me that even though I’d rub off the bronzer and much of it would wash off in the shower, I would be a golden color in the morning. She was totally right! I’ll be sad to see it fade, but I’ll definitely be back. If you need a tan for an event, photo shoot, or vacation, call Trish. You won’t be sorry!

Trish is awesome!!! I was heading out to California and had planned to get spray tanned a few days prior. I got busy with work, life, etc. and didn’t get around to it. The afternoon before I left, I started looking on Unilocal,google, etc. I contacted Trish (at 3pm) and she was so gracious to fit me in that evening at 6:30(only 3.5 hrs later!). I couldn’t believe it. talk about great service! :) She was super friendly, made me feel completely comfortable and I will most definitely be recommending anyone looking for a great tan to see Trish and I too will be back soon as well. :)
Oh. and you can’t beat the price. It was $ 25… talk about awesome! :)
Ok, so stop reading this review and contact Trish right away. you’ll be so happy you did!

I’ve tried lots of tanning options and Trish, at Tan Can, is the best. Not only is she thorough and gives you the best, even, «real» looking tan, she is very considerate of your modesty. She makes you comfortable and you leave looking GREAT! I’m so so glad to have finally found the perfect person for tanning.

Better than my own tan would ever be and safer. Trish is easy to be around, thoughtful and very professional.
Also the prices are more are more than reasonable. I would recommend her to anyone.

OK. I’ve never been much for faux tans. I’ve gone into those little booths and stripped down and sprayed, turned, sprayed. I have no idea how those little heads miss huge areas and over spray others. It always feels pretty even when it’s happening.
TAN CAN is so so different. The hilarious gal that has started this business is amazing. She has a little compressor with this hose that looks like a vacuum cleaner hose and she did an amazing job of getting everything without making me look like an oompa loompa. She can even do some areas a little darker to give you some definition where you want it. She’s not going to turn a pot belly into a six pack, but she can sure give your legs the appearance of a little more muscle tone.
It’s quick and the tan lasted on me for almost two weeks.
She can come to your house or she sets up in a couple of different locations in central austin and westlake. She updates everyone weekly on where she is going to be and you can go there or she can set up an appointment at your house. She’s very reasonable — $ 25 if you come to her and $ 40 if you are getting it done at your house. If yuo have several people at your location I am pretty sure she lowers the price.
She does bridal parties and cheer squads.
The best way to reach her is probably by cell phone above or e-​mail at
