Tanning in Carlsbad

“Andrea was wonderful! Booking an appointment was easy and the communication regarding preparation was thorough.
She made me feel very comfortable during the tan and I love the results!“

“I absolutely LOVE Tan by the Sea and will never go anywhere else for tanning in this area. I’ve been coming here for years, and every visit reminds me why this place is so special.

Shanti is truly amazing I adore her! She genuinely cares about her clients and always goes above and beyond to make sure you feel welcomed, comfortable, and taken care of. The customer service here is unmatched, and the sense of community she has created is something you don’t find at typical tanning salons.

The tanning beds are fantastic, the amenities are top-tier, and I love all the specials and high-quality tanning products she carries. Shanti also does incredible hand airbrush tanning herself she’s an artist at what she does.

She always tries to fit me in, and every experience has been flawless. Zero complaints just amazing service every single time.

If you’re looking for quality, care, and the best tanning experience in Carlsbad, this is the place. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Katie is not only super professional and excellent what she does, she's just a beautiful person to be around. Highly recommend!“

“Cara is my girl - I come in from out of state to see her for my services. I’ve had her fire and ice Facial and also her sound bowl healing Facial. She also tinted my eyebrows which I didn’t know I needed it and they look fantastic. This salon is super cute and it’s tucked away and I love coming there. I feel like it’s such a treat. I brought my mom in for her birthday and she got waxed and got the fire and ice Facial as well and absolutely loved it.“

“My tan turned out perfect! Natural and glowy. Charity was so friendly and sweet ? I’ll definitely be back to Shades! 10/10“
