    If you are looking to take care of your skin and get out of the sun...this is the place to go for a tan!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the ladies at Airbrush Tans! They are super professional and make you feel so comfortable. They also remember their clients and treat you like a friend. Sharla and LeeAnn both do a fantastic job and the color is NOT orange. It truly looks like you have been on vacation in Mexico...very natural! Bye-bye tanning beds!!! Check them out! You will love it too!

    I have never gotten airbrushed tan before but had heard some really great things about it. After reading all the reviews I made an appointment with Sharla! I'm so glad I did!! I have very fair skin and only tan just a little from the sun. What a difference it made to have some color! :-) Sharla did such a great job, and made me feel so comfortable~ Thanks, Sharla! I will be back!

    Sharla, Leann and Janet all apply a fantastic tan! I've been tanning at Airbrush Tans of Austin since Sharla opened the first store. Thanks girls for such a professional job every time! MSJ

    I had a fabulous experience with Airbrush Tans of Austin. The ladies there were very professional, knowledgeable & friendly; I instantly felt at ease with them. I've been to a few spray tan shops and have found that the color is one size fits all, however at Airbrush Tans, they took my skin color into account when determining the solution level to use on me. The product they use is safe and organic and the results are awesome! I loved my natural, glowing look. I highly recommend Airbrush Tans and am thrilled that there is now a downtown location!

    When I need a fast, natural-looking tan, I go see the ladies at Airbrush Tans of Austin. I have been going there for a year now and every tan has been flawless! I always receive numerous compliments on my skin after getting an airbrush tan from them! I am very fair skinned and an appointment with them turns me into a golden brown goddess! ;) I highly reccommend Airbrush Tans of Austin for anyone who wants a gorgeous tan! Book your appointment early -- you won't regret it!

    I've been going to Airbrush Tans of Austin a year. They are super professional and work very hard to customize the formula to your specific needs. I have recommended them to all my friends who comment on how nice my tan looks.

    I am a fair-skinned girl that can easily get ghostly pale if I don't watch it. I've tried mystic tanning before, and it looked fake and smelled horrible, and the lotions from the drugstore never do the trick. I went to Airbrush Tans of Austin after doing extensive research on their website (which is awesome by the way - very informative and answers all your questions!). I told Sharla I didn't want anything drastic, just a glow. I loved it! I got so many compliments on my appearance, but at the same time people couldn't guess I had been "tanning" - just that I looked healthy and good. When I told the ladies at work, they all jotted down the website to make an appt. themselves! I did it for my wedding in November - which would have easily been the palest time for me, and the tan was great - natural - what I wish my skin looked like every day! Best of all, she uses organic products...so no funny smells or fumes either. It is truly the safest way to tan...Highly recommended! They... Read more

    I went to Sharla on my way out of town to get some much needed color to my fair complexion. I had tanned at salons before on occasion but I am not what most would consider a "regular" or a "tan-oholic". After visiting Sharla for my 1st airbrush tan that just might change! I knew what to expect based on conversations but I was a little nervous about it none the less. She made me feel SO comfortable! There was nothing akward/uncomfortable about it. She is a TRUE professional. She mixed a color that was perfect for my skin tone and I left looking totally FAB! I mentioned I was on my way to Sephora and she even recommended a lovely Smashbox gloss that totally compliments my complexion. Thanks Sharla!

    I am so glad that I found Airbrush Tans of Austin! I am fair-skinned and tanned too much in my 20s. Now that I am in my 30s, I am very concerned with taking care of my skin to reduce pre-mature aging, but I also want to look tan during the summer. I first went to Airbrush Tans of Austin before a trip to St Thomas in May. I loved the way it looked and felt fabulous on my trip. When I came back, I went back to Sharla several times just because I loved the way it looked and had received so many compliments. Some people even asked me if I had lost weight. Sharla is great at what she does and makes you feel very comfortable. I am hooked - I just need to remember to make my appointments in advance because she books up quickly!

    I looked and looked for a place here in Austin to do a true airbush tan... and found Airbrush Tans of Austin...LOVE IT - LOVE IT !!! This is the perfect way to look tan with out getting the long term effects of sun damage. Sharla is fab-u-lous... she works with you to find the perfect shade for you and your skin. She also makes you very comfortable while the tan will make you so confident. Everyone looks younger with a perfect tan - and Sharla can grant you this wish with her airbrush. I am hooked and tell everyone... get out of the sun, don't bother with the messy tan in a bottle... the only way to go is with an airbrush... and Sharla is the best

    I found Airbrush Tans of Austin on citysearch a few months ago and started making appointments a few weeks before my wedding. I absolutely LOVED the results! I am very fair skinned and Sharla mixed up a color that looks so natural on me. She'll ask you questions about how the tan "wore" and adjust her technique to your needs. So if your feet were too dark, or you collect color somewhere, she'll work around that next time. Really, what it comes down to is that UV exposure is NOT SAFE, home self tanners almost always leave you with little mistakes or missed spots, and Sharla is friendly, professional, and the results look incredibly natural. It's an easy choice! Sharla is wonderful, you won't be disappointed!

    I absolutely adore Sharla! She is amazingly personable and does an amazing job at airbrushing! Really I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is interested in getting airbrushed. Don't go anywhere else and waste your money. Sharla really knows what she's doing with this. I had a bad airbrush experience at A Beautiful You Med Spa, and after having a bad experience there and then coming to Sharla I definitely know what a good experience is now. The tan couldn't have been more even and natural looking. I am naturally very fair skinned and she got the solution just right! The room she tans you in is very clean and pretty and well ventilated, which believe me helps alot because when you get airbrushed in a non-ventilated room it can get a little hard to breathe. She gives you a hair cap so that your hair doesn't get all of the solution on it; which at A Beautiful You Med Spa the room was not ventilated at all and no hair cap. Sharla's a blast to talk to and makes you feel right at home and ver... Read more

    Sharla at Airbrush Tan of Austin provides a fabulous airbrush service! She customizes the color of the tan specifically for your skin color. I have fair skin and freckles, and have always been skeptical of Mystic tan/sunless tanners, mainly because I've tried them and all made me look too tan or really fake. With Sharla's formula I look tan, but myself. It is not orange or streaky, but very natural and always very even. Not only is the tan fabulous, Sharla, is so friendly and really makes you feel completely comfortable. I would definitely recommend Airbrush Tan of Austin, I'm looking forward to my next appointment at their new location!

    After a few years of doing the Mystic Tan, I have finally found the best way to get a beautiful and safe tan that looks even every time! The first time I went, I couldn't believe the results--the outcome far exceeded my expectations! Sharla is really professional, super sweet, and great at what she does! She really makes you feel comfortable, and she is so much fun to talk to. I have never looked orange, because she truly customizes the color for your skin type. I have had several compliments on my tan, and I really can't believe how natural it looks! I am always looking forward to my next appointment, because the results are great every time. Each time I go, I feel like a new person--(and a little thinner too!)

    Over the past 15 years, I have tried everything from numerous tanning creams/lotions, tanning beds, Mystic tan and yes, even hours in the sun to get that perfect sun-kissed look. Airbrush Tans of Austin was able to help me achieve my perfect tan by offering a safe, and streak-free alternative. Now that I am a regular customer, I am always receiving compliments on my tan - and it certainly makes me feel better about the way I look! Sharla is very personable, professional - and made me feel completely comfortable. It's not a "one size fits all" process. She really takes the time to determine what will look the most natural for each individual - so no more orange tans! I highly recommend Airbrush Tans of Austin!

    My tan looks awesome!! I was so surprised at how professional Sharla was. I was completely comfortable with her from the minute I walked in. My bronzer by the end of the day was a little orange but Sharla assured me when I took a shower it would come off . She was right! I was left with a beautiful golden tan. Thank you I am ready for Mexico!

    I was apprehensive at my first appointment. However Sharla puts you at ease the moment you step inside. She does an exceptional job of creating an even overall tan. There are no streaks or dark spots. My feet are extremely hard to do but she has figured out how to do them. She works with you to figure out what's best for you and your skin. I highly recommend her service and am now a regular customer.

    I highly recommend Sharla - Airbrush Tans of Austin! I have been to her 3 times so far and I always get compliments on my tan afterwards. It doesn't smell bad like the mystic tan does and she takes her time going over and making sure she covers everything. After I tell people that it is an airbrush tan, they are shocked at how natural it looks. Sharla makes you feel comfortable and she is very personable. I highly recommend Airbrush Tans of Austin!

    I was skeptical at first about being airbrushed, as I wasn't sure if the tan would look fake, or too orange, or streaky. I've been a tanning bed user for years and years and I finally decided to stop abusing my skin, but I LOVED the way I looked with a golden tan. What to do?? A friend in CA suggested getting airbrushed, as evidently it is all the rage there. I found Sharla online and it was love at first spray! Sharla made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in the door. She explained everything to me, and I felt like she was one of my best girlfriends by the time I left. I couldn't be more pleased with the tan. She can adjust the color based on an event I am attending or outfit I'm wearing. I look thinner and healthier and people always ask me if I just got back from a vacation. And I'm always PROUD to say that it's an airbrush tan, as I think it's so great that I can have the healthy glow of being in the sun without the damage to my skin. I highly recommend S... Read more

    I have never written a review before but I had to share my experience with Airbrush Tans of Austin. With my skin, I am not able to tan in tanning beds or the sun due to cancerous tendancies my skin has. I am white as a sheet of paper and if I am out in the sun, I just burn red and then turn back white again..no tanning for me. I didn't want to do anything that didn't look natural and professional so I avoided Mystic Tans due to friends experiences and I tried tanning lotions and never received the desired affect I was looking for. I just moved here from Waco and found Airbrush Tans of Austin and read the website which seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. I took a chance and made an appt with Sharla and it was truly one of the best decisions of my life. Not only did I receive the tanned look that I have longed for my whole life but I made a new friend with Sharla. She is absolutely professional, friendly and down to earth. The whole experience was informative, comfortabl... Read more

    I went to get my tan expecting to come out looking nice but really nothing else. While I have always valued aesthetics, I have recently become a new mom and by way of excusing myself from the hard work of keeping a nice appearance - I had resolved myself to thinking I was somehow above making the effort. Visiting Sharla and having some new color on my skin was an enjoyable (in spite of my nervousness!), enlightening, and empowering experience. I walked out of there looking like a million bucks! Most importantly though, I left with a renewed understanding of just how good taking the extra time to look lovely makes me feel on the INSIDE. Thank you, Sharla. ALSO - I got my tan just before going to see old high school friends and my parents for a wedding. All of these people are the harshest critics I can imagine. To the very last, I was complimented on how amazing my skin looked. I have been around plenty of people who used Mystic Tan and walked out looking like they had some der... Read more

    Sharla is so wonderful. Tanning beds and spray tans in most salons make me look orange and don't last long on my skin. Sharla airbrushed tanned me for my wedding and it looked perfect. I can't begin to tell you how many compliments I received. It looked so natural and was perfectly even. I did a practice run a week before my wedding...everyone thought I looked so great that another one of my bridesmaids and my mom decided to do it with me before the big day because they liked it so much. Sharla is so wonderful. She makes you feel really comfortable and mixes the color that looks the best with your skin tone. It lasts a good week and it even looks good when it's fading. It is inexpensive and quick. I am so lucky to have found her. My tan looks so natural in all my pictures! I would recommend Sharla to anyone! What a lifesaver! I live in South Austin and promise you it is worth every bit of the the drive to Cedar Park. There is no one else in Austin that does this, I promi... Read more

    Sharla is AMAZING!! I can?t say enough about how wonderful airbrush tanning is at Airbrush tans of Austin. This is not like the tan you get at the booth at one of those tanning salons.. this looks REAL and makes your skin look beautiful. The best part is she can adjust the color to your skin tone, this isn?t one of those one color for everyone type things. She can make you have a nice glow in the winter so you don?t look like one of those freaks who are insanely dark in the dead of winter ...and trust me she can make you dark if you want to go dark in summer. I almost hate to give up my secret of Airbrush Tans of Austin. I go once a week and get Sharla to tan me. I have so much fun while I?m there!! She makes you feel at home; like you went over to one of your best friend?s house to hang out and bonus you came home with an awesome tan. Try is once and I know you will be hooked, just don?t take up my appointment time :)

    This was my first time having an airbrush tan, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but Sharla was wonderful. The salon is actually in her home, so the environment is very comfortable and she took time and explained everything and made me feel at ease. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great tan and fantastic customer service. I live north of Austin, so she is just minutes away, but for anyone who lives south, she is worth the drive :)

    After experiencing my first airbrush tan at the spa in the Wynn Las Vegas I was hooked. I found Airbrush Tans of Austin on Citysearch, and decided to try it figuring I'd get a good tan but never expecting to top the Wynn. I was completely wrong. Sharla is an artist. She created the exact color I wanted and made me feel completely at home, like I've known her for years. My tan lasted over two weeks, and her prices are exceptional. I live far south but it?s definitely worth the drive to see Sharla. I can't wait to go back!

    I've been to see Sharla twice now and left both times extremely happy with the results! She is very professional and friendly and makes you feel extremely comfortable in an awkward situation. The tan looks great and is very natural, mine usually lasts about a week. I always get compliments on my tan and people think I've actually been on vacation, which I love! I highly recommend going to see Sharla for a great tan and tanning experience!

    This was my first airbrush tan, and I am very impressed with the results. I have spray tanned in a booth before, and while it looks okay, you can still tell it is fake (kind of orangy). Sharla was great, not pressuring at all and makes you feel EXTREMELY comfortable in an otherwise awkward situation. The actual tan was beautiful; the color is unbelieveably real. I used some glimmer dust on my skin afterwards and it looked like I had spent a week at the beach. Highly recommended. A word of advice, though: try to exfoliate beforehand, and make sure you don't put on any lotions, etc., till afterwards.

    I had never spray-tanned in a booth or had an airbrush tan before, so I wasn't sure what to expect but I was put right at ease with Sharla. She is super-sweet & professional, and explained the entire process to me, including the ingredients in the tanning spray, and how to care for my tan afterwards. Even though it's a home-based salon, it's so cute & soothing, very well decorated & professional, and I felt very comfortable. Now to the really important part....the tan was incredible! I was a little nervous that it would be orange-y or uneven, but it really came out perfect! The color was perfect for my skin tone & I didn't have any streaks or uneven spots. I had people at work complimenting me, telling me that I looked so natural & that it looked like I just got back from the beach (not from a tanner!) They were all asking me where they could go to get a tan like mine. The pricing is very reasonable, and well worth it....I will be going back to Sharla regularly!

    I love going to Airbrush Tans of Austin. The price is great and the service is unmatched. Plus it is close to my house. I highly recommend going. I feel completely comfortable during the process and leave happy. You do have to plan ahead. If you have an event you want some color for, this process takes about an hour from walk in to walk out, and you have to leave it on, and not shower for at least 8-12 hours. But the results are worth it! I love it!

    since it is in a home atmosphere, you will not get the spa environment, but you are getting a sunless tan, so you really don't need that environment. She is excellent on working around your schedule and in her application.
