Faking It Flawless The Boutique

Hands down one of my favorite Boutiques in town! My go to place when I need to find anything from casual to dressy! Not to mention the girls running the shop are super sweet and helpful. Not only do they have great options for clothing, but they also have unique handcrafted assessories and custom spray tanning! One stop shop for an up coming event or a when you simply want to shop and get a beautiful glow on your skin! You girls are the best!

If I could only use one word to describe the tanning at Faking it Flawless it would be «thorough.» They take their time with the spray tans to make sure that every inch is covered and your tan looks even. I’ve tanned there twice this summer for vacations and I had a great experience both times.
Things I like about the services:
Prep spray: As I am new to the world of spray tans I don’t know if this is a necessity but the tan does last a long time with the prep spray. I didn’t have flaking or uneven spots as the tan wore off. It was a gradual fade back to my original coloring.
The optional clear developing bronzer: Previously I had a spray tan with the instant bronzer, which is nice if you need to look instantly tan. Most spray tans take 8 – 10 hours to develop on your skin and the instant bronzer helps avoid long delays. If you don’t need to look tan that day, you can opt for the clear developer. I used the clear developer with both of my spray tans and really loved it.
The tans are lasting! My tan really lasted really well for the first 5 days. After that there was a gradual fade back to my original color. Using a spray tan elsewhere, my tan faded as much as 50% within the first 48 hours leaving me with little color after that.
Did I mention thorough? They really take their time to spray you evenly, taking extra care to make sure that there is no staining on the soles of feet, palms, fingernails or toenails. Also, with each tanning experience I was asked about how I wanted my tan customized. I tend to have naturally darker arms, legs and face, throughout the year as I don’t get out in my bathing suit much. Per my request, they did extra spray on my torso and slightly less on my arms, face and legs, to make sure that my tan was even overall.
The tanning prices can be steep so I recommend buying 3 or 4 tans at a time. The tans can be used any time at future dates and you won’t be disappointed with your first tan. Buying a package is definitely worth it.

I always love love my tan!!! Such cute merchandise, accompanied with amazing costumer service!!! My fav store

0 rating for spray tanning! I came to this place for a spray tan to go to Vegas and it is awful! I should have stayed white. I have some hideous yellow spots on my shins, the girl missed a spot, and it’s so uneven! I hate it!!! Ugh! Never again!!! Don’t do it!

The Perkins sisters are AMAZING and always give you a great spray tan. There are also super cute clothes in the store as well. They do a great job of explaining the best way to maintain your tan and always make you feel really comfortable. I have been going to them for a few years and always have a great experience.

If only there was a 10 star button! These girls are the absolute best! Kasey really gives you the personal glow you want. Packages are the way to go, save money & stay tan :)

I had been in FIF to shop many times for the adorable clothing and accessories but was always nervous about trying the tanning. I booked a mini vaca and was in desperate need of color. I am so mad I didn’t try it sooner. Kelly explained the process step by step, and made me feel totally comfortable! My tan looks amazing (perfect natural color, no streaks). I can’t wait till I have another excuse to get tan and go back. Love supporting well deserving family owned shops!

Went in for my first spray tan two days ago and absolutely fell in love with this place. Kasey was really knowledgable and helped me choose an in between shade for my formal event so I didn’t look too dark. The process was easy, fast, and comfortable and the results were amazing! I look totally natural, like I laid out in the sun for a week, but wasn’t exposed to harmful rays and the damaging effects. I purchased the 2-​package so I can go back in for another tan in the near future. I CAN’T WAIT!

If there were a way to give 10 stars I would! The girls of FIF are beyond amazing and they truly know how to run a business. The Boutique is by far the greatest place to shop in SCV. They are constantly getting in new, fabulous items and they are not super expensive. Once you are able to tear yourself away from the insane clothing selection you must have them give you a custom spray tan! I have used them again and again and I always leave feeling incredible. The Boutique has a way of sucking you in (in a good way!) due to the über cool vibe and even more so due the sweetness of the Perkins girls. I laugh until my sides hurt whenever I am there and feel like I just hung out with my best girlfriends. If you are feeling like you need a pick-​me-​up head over to FIF immediately… trust me, you will LOVE it! :)

The Bouitque is my secret addiction!!! Love the ladies of The Boutique their sense of style is spot on. Love the fact they get new items in all the time! A must stop on your shopping list.

Absolutely LOVE this place!!! The girls are soo friendly and make you feel soo comfortable! Definitely recommend FIF!

Let me be completely honest… I’M ADDICTED TO MY FAKING IT FLAWLESS TAN! Seriously. I started getting my spray tan about a year and a half ago and now I can’t live without it. I’m a regular and go about every two weeks to get my golden goddess glow from FIF. Trust me, getting a spray tan is an ART and FIF is artistry perfection. I wouldn’t trust anyone else and the product they use is ah-​mazing. My skin has never been so soft. The boutique shopping is also tres-​chic. I have purchased quite a few items — these ladies know style!

The tan I got from FIF was fantastic… It was hard for me trying to find a place to tan, because I’ve heard streaking and bad tan horror stories and as a part of a fitness competition judging, I needed a perfect tan!
I called Kasey the day I needed the tan and she fit me in. She was super personable, informative, and very sweet. Not only did I look great, without any streaks or mess-up’s, but the quality of the tan was so good, that I will be going back again very soon!

You can’t beat it! I have been getting airbrush tans for years now and by far this place has given me back to back flawless tans! They have a clear spray which doesn’t stain your clothes or look sticky and icky! The results? Flawless. Meaning no streaks, no stains on my hands or feet, and no ORANGE! I started with the lighter tan (2) and worked my way up to (3) including my face. It looks natural and like a good beach tan! I will be getting my 4^th done soon and my 5^th for my wedding! :) Thanks girls for giving me great service, always making time, and providing great instructions for a lasting tan! By the way, if you follow their instructions (which they give you a cute instruction sheet to take home) your tan will last for over a week! Worth every penny!

just got my first stray tan ever. Kasey did an amazing job and made me feel comfortable throughout. Only problem is I think I’m addicted now.

There is finally a way to get an amazing sun kissed look without the harmful effects of the sun and tanning beds! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Faking It Flawless! Kasey is brilliant at making her clients feel comfortable and confident with her amazing personality and contagious laugh! I will always be a client of Faking it Flawless… who doesn’t want a flawless tan year around?! The Perkins girls are truly talented and the best in the business!

After years of fake tanning on and off in a tanning bed, I finally had a custom spray tan today. I was a bit nervous as it was my very first time ever getting spray tanned, but once I met Kasey, I instantly felt at ease and just so comfortable. She is amazing — super friendly and so down to earth! And she gave me the best natural looking tan I’ve ever had! Highly recommend Faking it Flawless. You won’t regret it I promise!!!

Let me start off by saying that I am a connoisseur of fine spray tans. I have probably gotten spray tanned about 50 times in my life. With that, I can confidently say that Faking it Flawless has given me the best natural looking, long lasting fake tan. I should also add that I am tough to spray tan. (I have red hair and am naturally quite pasty) Anyways, if you are considering getting a sunkissed glow, but are hesitant — don’t be. You are in good hands with these girls. I have only been sprayed by Kasey and she is the most honest and personable person… just what you should be looking for in a spray tanning relationship. Enough of my ranting… bottom line, go to Faking it Flawless!

Kasey is lovely and my skin has never glowed this much! I went in for my first spray tan session yesterday and was super nervous since I’m already naturally tan. It looks incredible! And so even. Definitely will be back. =)

I just had my first experience with an airbrush tan and it was a good one. I am headed to Palm Springs for the weekend and I wanted to get rid of my winter pale self and get a summer glow. The process took about 45 minutes and it really is flawless. I do not look orange or weird. Kasey was able to do a lighter shade on my face than the rest of my body. I would definitely recommend FIF to everyone. I will be going back!
