Faux Glow

Faux Glo is the best! Not cheap, but worth it in what you walk away with. Whenever I look back at photos after getting tanned there I'm proud of how I look! And I'm my biggest critic.

My husband, out of the blue, asked me one day if he should get and air brush tan. I loved the prospect since he is a redhead and very pale. I was thrilled since in the past years he would go to the tanning booth to "feel good" during the winter months. I never liked that he went since the tanning salons come with very high risk of burning and possibly skin cancer. I introduced him to Faux Glow, which I go to myself, made an appointment for him and off he went. Faux Glow explained the process to him so he knew exactly what to do to prepare and what not to do after the session. He followed the directions to a tee and WhaLa....He came home and for two weeks thereafter looked healthy and amazing. He is hooked! I'm so happy that he loves Faux Glow. It will keep him out of the sun and the tanning boothes and he has the greatest tan lines! He felt very comfortable at Faux Glow. They even offered him a coconut water but the greatest thing about the experience is that even though he is very pale, Jeani made him look healthy, not freaky. The fact that they customize the color is perfect for anyone, even a redhead!

I went to Faux Glow hoping to get some color and I walked away a bronzed beauty! I am very fair and was somewhat apprehensive about sunless tanning but I found out that they had a range of colors for all types of skin color. I had my appointment with Liz and she was very pleasant. The prices are a bit high (I am a college student and I work part time) but Liz's service was high class and based on the compliments I got were totally worth it!

Pros: Service, atmosphere, location

Cons: Price

I read the reviews about Faux Glow on citysearch and I decided to try them out. They welcomed me with some Zico Coconut water (so yummy) and they had some snacks to eat while I was waiting. Katie came over and had me fill out a form and then we picked out the right shade for my skin - we decided the "South Beach Bronzed" was the best color for me. I saw myself in the mirror after it was done - it looked AMAZING!! Katie said it would get a little darker as the day went on but then the surface color would wash off and the tan would look just as great. As I was paying I looked up and I saw Linda Wells (the Editor of Allure Magazine) coming out of her room - she looked really good! I couldn't believe I saw her there. SO COOL! That is my favorite magazine - can you tell. Katie then gave me a brochure with all the instructions and tips on how to make the tan last longer. I decided to buy the package because it would make the sessions less money. I will be going back there for good. I hope I run into Linda Wells again.

Pros: Seeing Linda Wells, Package Discounts, Color looked great, Katie was super sweet

Cons: I didn't get to talk to Linda Wells

I went to Faux Glow after reading Paris Hilton was a client. She always looks great - so I knew I would have a good chance also. Well Rene' gave me the "Bahama Bling" color since I have a medium skin tone (she said the color would look natural on me). The color looked amazing. I was going away on vacation and I didn't have to worry about laying in the sun and baking my skin. I sat under the umbrella and drank some pina colada's, read some books, took naps and just relaxed. NO SUNBURN. My husband complimented me every day and told me how great I looked. I'm so glad I finally found the right place to get my airbrush tan's. I even bought a package of 4 sessions - since you get a discount the first time you are there. Great job!!

Pros: Rene' was very nice, I loved the funky colors in the spa, The pampering

Cons: Wish the prices were lower

Faux Glow lives up to all the hype. I have been going there for 5 years and made the mistake of trying a new place because they were booked (won't mention any names - but they were horrible). Faux Glow has the best artists in the city by far and the owner (Jeani) is truly the Picasso of Airbrush Tanning. I have been going to her for years but had to stop going to her for awhile because she was really sick for 2 years. She trained her staff to be just as amazing and no matter who I get they always do a great job! I'm so excited to hear they are expanding and opening a new location in LA. I have business out there and now i will have both coasts covered. Jeani really has done an amazing job with her business - she has expanded 3 times since she opened and she is really a smart business woman. I know all of this because I became friendly with her when I became her client. Her product she makes is amazing and the color is perfect - I love how she can customize it for each clients skin type. They really know how to make their clients feel comfortable in their spa and treat them with snacks, drinks, wine & cappuccino's (I never want to leave :). Well as you can tell I LOVE THIS PLACE and will continue to be a weekly client. Great job girls! Good luck in Cali!

Pros: The Staff, The Spa Atmosphere, The Faux Glow Color

I'm a very fair blonde that's concerned with blinding people in the summer when I've fearlessly committed to switching over to skirts, shorts & tank tops. I have a cool undertone and find that most tanning products make me look muddy not to mention how they have the tendency to pool in those crevices that you definitely don't want to emphasize. The airbrush artists at Faux Glow not only match my ideal summer tone perfectly but add all the appropriate contours I wish I really had. In all honesty looking at my body with those contours gives me motivation to achieve those curves on my own...might give the faux girls less to do when I go next time...lol.

I love this place. I found them through Allure magazine. They were mentioned in the Best of the Best issue. So I thought I would give them a try -but first I read some reviews on Citysearch (which seemed to confirm with the magazine). What a lovely place. I love the way it's decorated (the owner said she was the decorater). Katie had me fill out a client release form and then we went over colors - i picked Hollywood Honey. I didn't want a lot of color - just a light glow. She told me that it would last for only 4-5 days since we were going so light - but I didn't mind. I really just wanted to try out Faux Glow and see if I liked it there. I LOVED IT! They also offered me some snacks and a really refreshing drink called Zico - it's a Coconut water - it was so delicious. I will be going back there for sure. I'm so glad summer is coming up and I have found a great place to get my Airbrush Tans.

Pros: Amazing Color, Zico Water, Katie

I have been to other places in the city (Brazil Bronze, Sundara, Allure Day Spa, etc.) and nothing compares to Faux Glow. I usually go to Jeani or Katie. For my first vist they had me fill out a new client form and it also asked why I was there and what kind of color I was looking for (which I thought was great). Once I filled that out, we went over colors - I choose the Hollywood Honey. I loved my color - it was perfect. They give you a discount for your first visit of 10% off - so I took advantage of that and bought a package - I knew I would be addicted to this. They give you a brochure with all the instructons and tips on how to make it last longer. I was doing this for a wedding I was going to and I looked great in my dress (my husband couldn't stop staring at me - extra credit!). The color looks so natural and it lasted about 8 days on me. I'm so excited I read about them in Allure magazine and they lived up to their expectations. I can't wait for my next appointment.

Pros: Staff is very friendly, They know thier stuff, Amazing Color!

I am VERY fair, and I made an appointment with Rene...I was nervous to get sprayed because I did not want to become orange, and I did not want to look strange. Rene made my experience a very comfortable one...she went over the colors with me, and told me that the "Hollywood Honey" would get rid of my pastey white skin...and it did!! I looked amazing and felt great. Rene took great care of me, she made me feel comfortable and look great! She also gave me great instructions for maintaining my color for as long as possible. Thanks so much, I will be back for sure and will tell all my friends to come see you Rene!

Pros: Perfect Tan, Staff

Cons: none
