Barefoot Bronze Mobile Spray Tanning

Stephanie was great! It was easy to communicate with her she booked my friend and I quickly since we decided to get a spray tan last minute before a wedding. My spray tan was amazing the color was perfect exactly what i wanted. She was quick and came over to the house. Deff booking her again. Thanks Stephanie!

I was very skeptical about getting a spray tan, I am fairly pale in the winter time but do get very dark in the summer, but a more olive tone. I was nervous that I would look bright orange for my event. Stefanie was really great at working around my schedule to make it as easy and convenient for me. She was so sweet and made sure everything came out even. My tan looked so natural, just like how I look during the summer time, I got so many compliments from all of my friends. I will for sure send anyone I know to her, and I will definitely be going back throughout the winter!

This is one of the few reviews that I can write with no hesitation on the selection of the stars. I typically find myself wishing for a «half-​star option» as a genuine five-​star experience is exceptionally rare. Stefanie’s Barefoot Bronze spray tans are that rare combination of exceptional product, supreme customer service, convenience and consistency.
I write this review after having been a customer for ~5 months and having received 7 spray tans. Each was very good quality — tan stayed on for about 10 days and faded naturally and did not become patchy. The spray tan was applied in such a thoughtful way, utilizing contouring to create the visual illusion of leanness. I had many people comment that I looked very «healthy». Mind you– I do a lot to stay «healthy» but haven’t heard that comment before tanning. The instructions for pre-​tanning and post-​tanning care were made very clear to me and helped for me to enjoy the tan for longer than any other that I’ve received.
Most unexpected was the benefit of added confidence that I felt when my skin was gently bronzed. I felt more attractive and healthier. For the time involved (15 – 20 mins) the marginal investment in a barefoot bronze tan is a no-​brainer.

Stefanie was really great! I got lots of «You look great, did you loose weight» and no «oh, you’re so tan». I am very fair, and she was able to achieve a long lasting, natural looking tan. She is fast, professional, and so very nice. I recommend her with no reservations!

Stefanie is absolutely amazing! She does a great job making you feel comfortable and explains everything perfectly. I have used her now five different times during different seasons and every time my tan looked perfect and not artificial. She even noted the color of tan she gave me this summer so that she could scale it back to my tan this winter. Couldn’t recommend her more!

Stephanie was easy to communicate with and scheduling was fast and easy. She confirmed via text, showed up on time and was pleasant. The tanning product did not smell and the process was quick and easy.
Her set up is great. My tan came out great, even and NOT orange. So convenient!

I had an amazing experience with Stefanie. I had never had a spray tan before, but decided I could use some perking up before my wedding. Although I knew it was probably a little risky to try my first spray tan right before my wedding, the reviews on Unilocal and a few conversations with Stefanie put me at ease. Stefanie responded to my request for an appointment right away, and answered a few questions I had. She showed up right on time, had her equipment set up in less than five minutes and walked me through the whole procedure. She put me at ease immediately, which is no small feat considering you are pretty much nude in front of a stranger. The whole process was quick, professional and pleasant. I was thrilled with the results, by the time my wedding day rolled around I was the perfect shade of sun-​kissed, which is exactly what I wanted. No streaks, no patches, no unevenness. I would wholeheartedly recommend Stefanie, she is awesome!

I have never had a spray tan or used a tanning bed before, but after feeling much too pasty for August, i thought I would give it a try. Stefanie was right on time, and went through everything with me and made me feel very comfortable. My biggest fear was looking like a oompa loompa, but she assured me that would not happen, and I woke up this morning and it looks great. She makes sure that she understands how dark you want to be, I told her I wanted to look like i went to the beach for the weekend, NOT the week, and that’s exactly how i look. She is extra careful with your hands and feet which i fantastic since that’s always the tell tale sign. I think especially for newbies like me, having someone come to your house makes all the difference. I did mine on a Sunday afternoon, which was perfect since I didn’t have anything else going on so i could just lounge around in my loose clothes and not mess the tan up. I highly recommend Stefanie!

I called Stephanie for a last minute spray tan and was very concerned about turning orange. She was very nice and had a couple of open times to make an appointment. Her formula is great and did not streak at all and lasted for about a week. I was worried about the bronzer staining my clothes but after my first shower nothing rubbed off. I love the Mobile aspect of her business because it made getting a spray tan very easy and hassle-​free. She was prompt, very friendly, professional and did a wonderful job with my tan. I highly recommend Barefoot Bronze for it’s convenience, result and the overall very positive experience that I had!

I’m so sad to have to write a negative review, because everyone else had such great things to say, and because Stefanie was so sweet, but I had a terrible experience.
The pros: Stefanie is great — she was professional and put me right at ease for my first spray tan experience, despite the fact that I was nekkid. She was in and out in less than half an hour.
The cons: The results. The color did not show up anywhere except for places that made it obvious the tan was fake (like behind my knees). I got this tan because I was headed to Costa Rica the next day, and I wanted a nice base color. Unfortunately, I spent most of that vacation frantically scrubbing off the random spots of color.
It’s possible this is just how my skin reacts to the DHA — like I said, this was my first time. And Stefanie is so sweet, I suspect if I had called her up, she would have offered to come back over and try to fix it. Sadly, I didn’t have time for this before I left.
I guess my best advice would be to try her out well before you need to be tan for an event, to make sure you like the results.

I was working in DC for the Auto Show and had been traveling with my job on the road for over two months by the time I got to DC. After having 2 colds (one was the flu, boooo) I was feeling pretty bad and needed a pick me up. I browsed Unilocal for referrals and Stefanie had some really good ones, along with a fantastic price point so I decided to give her a try. I was a bit nervous at first. Having someone you don’t know come up to your hotel room (even after being identified properly at the front desk) can be a bit un nerving, but she was great! I’m naturally olive/​yellow complected (italian/​lebanese) and the solution she uses is beautiful. Because I know how my skin (particularly my face) reacts to airbrush tanning, I asked that she go over my face again. She did, and because my skin is so oily, it came off much faster than I would have preferred. Because I had to work 10 straight days at the show, I asked if she could some help me out because I faded on my face so fast. She immediately offered to come fix it so I «was completely satisfied» and came that night. Airbrush tanning can be tricky, and if you go to the same person all the time, they know your skin, etc. I’m very impressed she went so far out of her way to ensure I was happy. She is very sweet, professional, and willing to do what it takes to make her customer a happy one! Too bad she doesn’t work in Miami (I don’t do the beach much, just airbrushing), she would make a killing here. Customer service in this city is lacking what she’s got.

As a newbie to spray tanning I was a little nervous but Stefanie instantly put me at ease with your professional and super friendly demeanor. (ie. I felt right at home despite being in my birthday suit!) Setting up the tent and equipment took her all but a few minutes and the actual spraying required another 5 minutes or so. The product went on evenly and precisely and produced a remarkably natural looking glow. I should know considering I am normally white as a sheet (thank you british roots…) and am thus vulnerable to a spray tan looking less natural than the next. But Stefanie’s product looked so natural that it was hard to believe that I had ever been any other color to begin with! Also, like Laila L. said, my skin didn’t smell like chemicals or a tanning salon afterwards.
I highly recommend Barefoot Bronze given the quality of the tanning product, Stefanie’s professionalism and kindness, and the added bonus of it all being mobile and so quick. Two thumbs up!

I can’t begin to describe how happy I am with Barefoot Bronze. I’ve tried all the other options to fake a tan — the lotions, mystic tans, tan towels, other airbrush options in the DC area and I’ve never been so satisfied with my end result, the service, price or convenience as I am with Stephanie. It takes a lot to make me feel comfortable standing there ready to be airbrushed but Stephanie + the fact that I’m in the comfort of my own home is an unbeatable situation. She’s professional, friendly and extremely helpful throughout the process. She’s always quick to respond to my e-​mails (even texts!) so I can quickly get ready for an event, vacation, wedding etc.
Most importantly, she knows how to apply the perfect tan. Honestly, I feel like she’s my secret beauty weapon.
The tan just glows. No orange or fake looking colors. The best way I can describe the finished product is you will start to get compliments on the way you look — people will wonder — did you change your hair? makeup routine? lose weight?
Little do they know it’s a simple airbrush tan that took about 10 minutes total to apply! No skin damage and she can get this done in my studio apartment? I’m obsessed. She also has a dog and is super friendly and cool with my pug sniffing around the tanning station she sets up!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

It’s the first week of January, and I’ve been rushing around all week trying to get my work life in order so I can go on a Caribbean cruise starting Sunday early AM. Around Thursday, I realize that I look like a giant marshmallow and can’t possibly pull off the metallic VS bikini I bought for my cruise. Dream vacation CODE RED!!!
Barefoot Bronze was recommended to me by another airbrusher who since moved out of state (Lucid Tanning). A quick email on Thursday PM, and voila! I have an appointment for Saturday AM. I was delighted that Stefanie could come to my house because my vacay prep to do list was still longer than I wanted it to be.
Stefanie is very personable and professional. Her prices are also great, especially for a house call. She also uses the same tanning solution as Lucid Tanning, which I really like because it has a warm golden tone. It is very natural and does not look orange at all. My condo does not have much open floor space, but the set up area for the tanning tent is pretty compact. All you need to have are two outlets. The whole appointment was maybe 20 minutes. Awesome — I had fun, I am now tanned, I did not even have to leave my house, I did not have to worry about the solution rubbing off as I commuted home, and I could get right back to my to do list.
You would also think that in a small space that you would smell the solution all day long, but the fan is super powerful and I couldn’t detect anything afterwords. My husband who doesn’t like colognes, doesn’t like me to wear perfume, hates Febreeze, and who is not at all shy about sharing his opinions, didn’t seem to notice either.
Overall, this was a fun, easy, and relaxed experience. I would highly recommend Barefoot Bronze for your vacationing and otherwise aesthetic needs.
