About Us

Welcome to Tan in the City — where fabulous tans happen and confidence shines!

We’ve been obsessed with spray tanning for over 12 years, and it shows. Tan in the City is your go-to destination for a flawless, natural-looking glow — whether you want a deep holiday bronze, a soft sun-kissed sheen, or a next-level competition tan.

New to tanning? We take the time to understand your skin tone and your vision, matching you with the perfect solution for your dream result. Your tan is personal, and we treat it that way.

Who We Work With

Tan in the City has been proudly pinned as the best in the business — trusted by the stars of Dancing With the Stars (2018, 2019, and 2022).

We were lucky enough to secure preferred tanners for Netflix series “One of us is Lying” filmed right jhere in NZ for 2 seasons.

We’ve been crowned winners in the Denizen Everyday Heroes Awards (Best Tanning Salon, 2020), featured in Verve magazine’s Best in Beauty 2022 & 2023 & 2024 and made the cut multiple times for Remix magazine’s Top 5 Tanning Salons.
