iTAN Sun Spray Spa – La Costa

Love going to this location. They have multiple services and everything you need at a tanning salon. The staff is knowledgeable, sweet and very beautiful including the manager Brittni. She has a smile on her face everytime I walk in and her personality lights up the salon. It makes it very enjoyable to go to this location. Any concern or problem I have had, she has fixed immediately. Brittni and the rest of the staff are great people, and the reason I continue to come back to this location. If i could give it 10 stars, I would. If you’re in LA Costa and looking for a tanning salon, do not pass up La Costa Itan. You will have a great experience, I promise.

ITAN La Costa is such a wonderful and clean salon! The employees are fantastic, friendly, and very helpful every time I go in there. I would recommend this location to everyone! Thanks for being so amazing La Costa!

Brittney at the LaCosta location was very helpful in signing me up and is always smiling&perky. Between her& Minnie, they could probably run the store& I look forward to seeing their smiling faces. Thanks ITan crew!

Thank you for listening! I was pleasantly surprised when I returned last week to find the «dreaded» Mystic Tanning room had been spruced up and cleaned. New paint, flooring, and a whole lot of cleaning. Thank you for once again making this a pleasant experience. Again, your front desk staff are superb!

Itan la Costa is wonderful. I have been going to get a spray tan for years and have never been dissatisfied. At first I was hesitant to spray at all because I did not want to turn orange. We have all seen those before! But, thankfully Brittany and Jordan took the time and really went through all the steps of what to do to during my spray so that it would be perfect. It is so easy for me now thanks to them and my tan looks so real!
The room had everything I needed. Hair ties and even a cap to protect it. I had wipes for my hands and feet. I will never spray anywhere else :)
Thanks Itan, you are the best out there!

La Costa Itan is the best ! I always have such a great experience every time I come here. The girls are so helpful and sweet. I have only used the spray booths here, but I have never been dissatisfied with the results. If you want a beautiful bronze look, La Costa is where you should go. Love this place, if I could give them 10 stars I would.

I’ve been coming here on and off for years to get a spray tan and the employees have always been so helpful and nice. Generally haven’t had much of a wait. But on my last visit, which was the last one on my package, there were 2 cockroaches in the Mystic room. Nothing like being stripped down and seeing those creepy crawlers along the baseboards. Looking around the side of the unit, I realized how dirty everything is. It’s so convenient, but don’t think I can go back until they clean up.

Very knowledgeable staff. Great advice. They’re never pushy or rude or rush you out and they’re cautious and honest about their beds and avoid your skin from being overexposed while still giving you a game plan on achieving a very quick tan without burning. Brittany is gorgeous and super sweet, love her!!! And having options between versa spa and mystic are another super sweet added bonus! HIGHLY recommend!

This is the best itan around. I never have to wait and the girls are always very helpful and friendly. Brittany is the main one I usually talk to and she’s the best. Always honest on which spray to get with my skin tone and I always leave happy :)

Every time I go to an iTan, I tell myself that I’m going to go home and write a Unilocal review because I’m always so amazed how great the girls are that work there. The La Costa iTan was no exception. The employees were authentically kind and took time to explain my options. I’m in my mid-​40s, probably not your most common tanning customer, and there were other women older than me there, as well as a middle-​aged man, and I watched the girls be friendly and helpful to each and every one of them. One of the days I went in was a busy one for them and they handled the line with ease, getting each of us in for our treatments quickly. I also love that tanning packages are easily used at any iTan branch, as they track everything in a shared database. While I don’t go often — usually just before a trip or special event for a Mystic spray — I am a happy client each and every time I do.

Came her yesterday for the first time to buy a monthly membership until summer. The woman, who I believe was one of the managers (with green/​blue and black hair), was so sweet and helpful! She gave me a run down of all the beds, sprays and spa packages. She knew her stuff! I ended up just getting the monthly basic bed since I’m a student of a budget and she didn’t try and force me to get a higher membership. I thought that was awesome, because I feel like everywhere I buy a membership they try and talk you into dishing out a fortune each month.
The beds are super clean. They have complimentary goggles and towels. There is a small speaker by your head that you can change the channels.
Great salon! Keep it up! :)

Manager got back to me, offered a new tab session! She was processional, friendly and I will use in future.

Spending 10 days at the OMNI la Costa resort. LOVE this salon. Staff are exceptionally helpful and professional. Multi level beds. Staff recommended some
great lotions. I travel frequently and tan wherever I go. This has to be my favorite tanning salon when it comes to the quality and professionalism of the staff. They explain the equipment in detail and know their product.

I have had nothing but great experiences with this location! One time I left my lotion and didn’t even know, the next time I came in they pulled it out and said you left this :). Awesome customer service, clean location, and up with current tanning options. The girls here are great! They help me decide which tanning plan is right for me depending on my goal. Help me to figure out versa vs mystic and if I wanna double dip. If there is ever a wait, the girls always apologize and make sure to tell me approximately how long. The bulbs are always new and beds are always clean. Definitely no complaints and I will continue to be a regular customer.
Thanks itan la costa and team!

iTan is and has always been the best tanning salon chain in San Diego and their La Costa location is one of their best. All of the girls in there are always friendly and helpful. As far as the previous reviews on here about their Mystic and Versa spray tans, you should listen to the girls and go by their recommendations because they are very knowledgeable and know what skin colors and types work best in which booths. With the lines and smudges on hands and feet, that is honestly just a result of spraying and if it really bothers you, you should opt for a personalized airbrush tan at one of their other locations. Their beds, booths, and spa services are the highest quality in Southern California and you will not find a cleaner, more professional salon than iTan. Nikki and Brittni are amazing managers and the sweetest girls!

I love this location! I have been to a few different locations and this is by far my favorite! I will for sure be coming back soon to this salon! The girls are always so helpful and sweet. I recently just got a mystic spray tan and I am love with my color! Add the bronzer in and you’ll be in love with your color too! Thank you for all of your help girls!

The staff at iTan have always been extremely friendly any time I have been there. My frustration falls to management, that when I go to iTan and the bed that is covered in the plan I pay for monthly is booked that I am told I can pay $ 10 to use another bed. Seriously??? I can see $ 2 – 3 but $ 10 to go one level up. Yeah, not happening especially since there are many months I pay and don’t use it. I have been a member at iTan for nearly 10 years and if that is the customer service that is offered I will be happy to take my business elsewhere.

Love the friendly girls here Nikki is such a doll! Always quick to get you in and help you find awesome lotions that match your personality (scent, texture, self tanner, and bronzer level). Very clean beds and salon in general. The Versa has a nice mahogany tone! I still like the Mystic (they have this too) and FIT BODY WRAP! I also love the Beauty Angel. :) Super happy every time I come here!

Free tan for Unilocal check-​in!
I don’t normally do any kind of tanning, but I had a wedding to attend living on the east coast has taken away the natural glow you get from living in SoCal. I couldn’t say no to free either!
I did the Mystic tan. It was completely electronically automated and really easy to use with directions broadcasted step by step from the machine. It was a little weird and cold/​surprising when the spray shot out at my white naked body lol. It kind of tickled a little bit.
I was surprised how simple and non-​awkward it was. The girl at the counter looked like she used a few too many of their services but otherwise she was exceptionally sweet, friendly and helpful. She didn’t make it awkward that I was getting the free tan & still treated me like a full price customer.
The room was clean and had a towel, q tips and everything else you would need or want in this situation. The provide you with a lotion that you put on your hands, feet, knees and toes to prevent those areas from absorbing too much color and looking orange or overly dark.
My tan was even, not too dark or orange and lasted a little over a week. :) I did it 4 days before the wedding and a friend commented «Did you just get back from vacation?» «No, why?» «You have a really nice tan!» «oo thanks: D Its fake. lol» «Really?! It looks really good and not fake at all!» :)
All around quick, simple, easy and enjoyable experience. I would do it again and pay full price if I had another major event to attend.

I love iTan. I’ve had an account here for about 3 years now and it’s the only place I tan. The staff has always been really friendly with me, and surprisingly remembered me and greeted me by name on only my 2^nd visit. It makes it nice to know you’re not just another body shuffling through, they actually make it a point to get to know you.
The beds and rooms are always very clean & in working order (only once did I go in and the level 4 bed was out of service). They have about 5 tanning rooms plus the spray booth so you can always choose what level you’re going for.
The location itself is a little bit small so if it’s a busy day after work, you may have to wait a little while for your bed to be available, but there are magazines and products to browse while you wait.
They have a wide range of package deals, specials that sometimes include tans & lotions, or pay per tan– however you want to do it. I buy the Points packages because they don’t expire and I can use them toward whatever tanning bed or spray tan that I want to use that day. The points may seem expensive at first because you’re buying them in bulk, but they do last quite a while if you’re an occasional tanner.
The salon is located in the strip mall next door to where the Crazy Burro restaurant used to be (forgot what it’s called now), across the street from Tuscanny & the Vons shopping center on the corner of El Camino Real & Alga.
Anyway, if you’re looking for a place to tan in La Costa or in North County in general, check them out! :)
