Erika is absolutely amazing! Erika's customer service is above & beyond. Now that she has a location it is even easier to get an appt & scheduling online is so easy. I'm a fairheaded red head & she takes care not to do too dark. Erika puts you at ease no matter how body conscious. I'll never go anywhere else for my spray tan!!!! read more

Great service with friendly staff. Can't wait to see my final color in a few hours. Update - the final color is not as tanned looking as I had anticipated it would be. I did the rapid tan and I waited 7 1/2 hours to shower. Even a friend mentioned I had gotten quite lighter without the initial bronzer that had been on my skin. Addendum - I was told I would be called regarding not being satisfied (the tan also came off patchy within 3 days) and was never called. read more

After moving from Atlanta I had not found a spray tan location that I was happy with (never found one in Austin and had tried another place here in Charlotte with ok results). After search Yelp and Facebook I found Stellar Tanning. Liked the process (I never ever do automatic booths anymore-I am just too pale to risk it). Sent a quick email for an appointment and Erika emailed me back almost immediately and we agreed on a time at her in home studio. She also will drive to your home but I work close to her studio near South Park. Some of the things that set her apart from other air brush tanning locations: * She gives you sticky feet pads so your feet so they don't absorb the spray * She has been doing this for 2 years * The solution doesn't have an added smell - it really didn't have much of an odor at all * Erika is a perfectionist! My tan was for a cruise I went on and everyone thought it was a real tan. Even friends and family who knew I was getting an airbrush tan were impressed. Not since Aloha Tan in Atlanta (I have reviewed them too) have I had such a streak free, even tan. Great color and it lasted about 6 days with a lot of swimming and sweating. Thanks Erika! I will be back. read more

Erika and Ginger are the best. Not only are they so sweet, they make you feel so comfortable, (because you're pretty much naked and awkward). Today I went for my third spray tan with Botanical Tans and Ginger sprayed me. Later in the afternoon I realized I was an idiot and didn't loosen my bra straps enough so I had lines on my fresh spray. I called Ginger to see if she could touch me up, and without hesitation she said yes. I came in and she perfected it, and she didn't charge me. THAT is great customer service. This place is awesome. If you need a perfect spray-go see these wonderful girls. I already can't wait to go back. Sarah Hudak read more

Went back again and this time i got the rapid tan. Same great results as the original, except you can shower after just a few hours. I got this tan before a trip to St. Thomas, I was in pools, ocean, applying different types and brands of sunscreen, aloe, lotion etc for days and days and it still held up perfectly for around 5 days and then faded gradually. I was so impressed, i was a little nervous i would mess it up by applying sunscreen all the time etc on vacation but it seemed to have no effect on the tan, ibet it could have lasted another day or two if i wasnt in pool or ocean all week but still totally worth it as always! read more

Really good reasonably priced spray tan in a small private room located in the office building. The liquid is heated and the do am amazing job buffing your ankles and elbows. They also put sticky pads on the bottom of your feet. They cover all the bases most places don't. I will be back! read more

I recently moved to San Francisco and wish I could have taken Erika with me! She provided me the most natural looking spray tan I have ever had. The prices are great too especially for the mobile application, you can't beat having her come directly to your house! I've had bad experiences with spray tans both in booths and done by hand, but Erika's application was flawless every time. read more

Convienent booking, very pleasant tan artists who always make me feel comfortable and spray beautiful lasting color. I got my first spray tan here, and won't go anywhere else! They do an amazing job. read more

I miss Erikah and Ginger so much. I had to cut back when I lost my job. Please believe me, if you can afford this gorgeous, natural luxury... TREAT YOURSELF LADIES!!! read more

Best tan in Charlotte! Ginger did a fantastic job, going above and beyond to make sure I got an even, streak free tan for a Bachelorette weekend! Great specials trough the winter too, I've already booked another appointment before a December wedding I am in. Love their convenient location and online scheduling! read more

The most professional tanning artist in charlotte. From the time you walk in they analyze your skin type and make sure you leave looking the natural. read more

Let me preface this by saying I have been getting airbrushed for 10 years. I also have never felt the need to take the time to write a review on a business. I have a wedding coming up so I wanted to do a trial from Botanical since I had heard a good review. I ended up buying the package at my first trial session (my mistake). The actual appointment was fine however, the lady did mention she had been doing this for only about a month. My tan came out way too dark/orange and splotchy (see pictures). But you know what? This sometimes happens especially since the person tanning me was new. So I called back and left a voicemail because I wanted to schedule an appointment with the owner or someone with more experience. That's all I wanted. Finally, after never getting a call back I started just asking for anyone to return my call and frankly at this point just give me a refund. This has been over a month of me leaving voicemails (probably about 5) and NO ONE returning my call. Their voicemail message even says "we will return your call within 24 hours". Correction, they will not. You would think a local business would want to do anything to make the customer happy. However, this company has done nothing to make it right. I felt like the simple request of wanting to schedule it next time with someone different was reasonable enough, but now it's at the point where I never would want to give this place my business and I want my money back. There were plenty of chances to make this right and Botanical Tans opted out of every opportunity. I highly DO NOT recommend. read more

See all

I found Botanical Tans on Yelp and was pleasantly surprised when I visited Erika! She is amazing!! I love her focus on natural products and that she takes so much time to really educate you on the product. The salon space is small, but cute and easy to find. The spray tans from her are by far my favorite! I don't live in Charlotte, but go to her each time I visit my parents there. The color is even and looks so natural that my friends are always surprised when I say it's a spray tan. My only request is she opens up a salon in the DC metro area! Highly recommend! read more

Love Erika and Botanical. Only place in Charlotte that I don't have an allergic reaction to. THE best!

Adrian was so nice and explained the process to me since it was my first time. I was so happy with the professionalism and of course the results! I will definitely be back before my girls trip to Nashville ;) read more

Erika is great at what she does, she makes you feel comfortable as sometimes spray tans can be awkward when you have to get partially naked in front of someone. She gives you all the info and tips you need to keep your tan as long as possible and having the rapid formula is convenient. I got a lot of compliments on my tan and comments that it looked so natural. The only down side is the price, $55 for regular and $60 for the rapid is a little high for me. I bought the yelp deal for my first tan and it was $10 off so i decided to try it. I've personally never had an issue using a spray tan booth (Versaspa Pro) I've always gotten great results, I know its not for everyone but its more reasonably priced for me around $30. I'll probably save Botanical Tans just for special occasions. read more

I came here to get a tan before heading off to Mexico for vacation. Let me just say, my tan was PERFECT. I would get one every other week if I could afford it! Erika was fantastic. She made me feel super comfortable and explained the process well. She is truly an artist. I will never go back to booth spray tans. I can't wait for my next special occasion, just so I have an excuse to come back! read more

I never write reviews, and I liked the tan when Erika was the person there, but I had a couple of other issues that were not ok. 1 - I did a three month package and just to make sure I wasn't charged beyond that I sent an email stating my wish to cancel, as well as called (they are impossible to get in touch with) multiple times until I finally got in touch with someone and was told that my last month would be December. I was charged the $79 again in January and could not get in touch with anyone. I left voicemails and called multiple times over a week and a half and finally just but a stop payment on my Amex. I called the last time and left yet another message saying how dissapointed I was at not being able to get in touch with anyone and that I put a stop payment on my card. NO ONE EVER CALLED ME BACK! STILL! 2 - The tans done by anyone but Erika are terrible! I did everything as I did with the Erika tans and they were all splotchy and didn't last and I may as well have done Mystic and gotten a better tan. I know that Erika can't be there all the time, but if she can't be there she needs to train her staff better so they know what they are doing. I will not go back here because I can't deal with poor customer service and unauthorized payments... not matter how good some of the tans were. read more

Showed up for a tan appt for which I had gotten a reminder for just that morning to find a closed sign. Waited for 30 minutes before giving up. Cell phone and text were undeliverable. If you are closing shop it is very unprofessional to leave appointments on the books!! Still getting email offers so not sure if they are permanently closed or not but beware. If they are still in business they are unreliable!!! read more

If you're going to get a spray on tan, Botanical Tans is the way to go. It is pricey so I can't do it often, but for a special event it can be worth it. The ingredients are all natural but the result is great. I got three recently, for my wedding shower, bachelorette night and wedding. I even got compliments on how good it looked. I've had more conventional machine spray on tans many times in the past and this was a very different experience. You have to be comfortable in wearing nothing (or almost nothing) but you get a custom tan according to your color and skin history. Erika is very personable and makes you comfortable during the process. My only complaint is the price so it's a splurge. Other than that, it's pretty great. My color lasted about a week. It did fade better than the at-home tanners too, less splotchy. read more

Thanks for my spray tan today, I have had compliments everywhere I have been today. I do not have an oder or stickiness, that left right away. read more

I hate writing negative reviews but my spray tan was so splotchy and weird that I feel like I need to save others from experiencing what I experienced.. upon arriving, the girl spraying me was super sweet but it wasn't Erika. When I booked my appointment, it said I was making it with Erika and after reading the reviews I only booked it online at botanical tans instead of somewhere else because it said it was with her...so just beware of that because it most likely is NOT. Thank goodness I only paid the new client price because I would never have paid full price for this. Mystic tan is cheaper and better than this. I am very disappointed. read more

Erika is an artist! She did 'contouring' as well, free, to make me look even more defined. She did an amazing job! The tan lasted for 7 days! I was well impressed. She is really nice too, and professional. My photoshoot was canceled but I will definitely be returning to her for my next one and even if I just feel like being brown :-) Thanks Erika! Will send you before and after shots next time. read more

I love getting a tan from Erika. She uses the best products and when I go there I leave knowing my tan is going to last. Love, love, love Botanical tans. If you are into spray tanning, definitely give it a try. read more

Always a great experience with Erika! She is amazing at what she does and always lovely to talk to. She pays close attention to detail and I've always had a natural glowing tan. She now uses the only heated airbrush tanning system on the market which was a very nice surprise to feel cozy while getting tanned! I was used to trying not to squirm at the feeling of cold formula hitting my skin since I started airbrush tanning years ago but now I don't have to think twice about it thanks to Botanical Tans! I checked out the website for the new solution and I was happy to see it is enhanced with Tea Tree, Argan, and Grapeseed Oil! Looking forward to my next one! read more

I love Botanical Tans! Erica is great, very professional and super nice. My spray tans look great and they are healthy and chemical free which is very important to me since I have a new baby. I will never go back to auto booth tanning. read more

Erika was great. Great communication, friendly, & she makes you feel comfortable even when your naked! her new salon spot is in the Sola Salons complex, which is easily accessible. The tan itself was much better than previous sprays I've had. It was nowhere near as cold as others I've had airbrushed on. Her technique is spot on, those who knew I had gotten sprayed, complimented my tan at my wedding, 3 days later. She gave good instruction & went the extra mile with powder & stickies. I will definately be using her services in the future! read more

I usually do not write reviews because nowadays between customer service and the product, usually something is left to be desired. This was not the case with Stellar Tanning. Erika was extremely professional in every aspect from scheduling the appointment, to follow up, to the spray tan itself. I had the double dip, express tan done yesterday, washed it off before I went to bed last night, and my skin is a beautiful golden brown color today. I have had custom spray tans done before and every single one had an orange tint to them, even at the salon's that said, "this will absolutely not turn you orange, you will be brown", only to find, I did not have a brown glow but an orange glow. I would highly recommend Erika and will be back! She is great from start to finish. read more

I've only had a couple spray tans before Erika but this was the best spray tan ever! So natural looking without the horrible stinky smell! I am so amazed by Erika and happy I took a chance with her! I will be going back every chance I get! Thanks Erika! read more

Great experience and great results!! I've recommended Botanical Tans to friends who had parties and events this spring and summer.

About to go on vacation and wanted a little color before hitting the beach. I've never had a spray tan before and was a little apprehensive as I've seen a lot of BAD spray tans. After much research, I came across Erika at Botanical Tans and decided to give her a try. She is awesome! She did such a great job! I have received so many compliments. My tan looks so natural - no streaks - great color. Highly, highly recommend her - she's great! Toni D. read more

Erika is fantastic! I used her for my wedding and couldn't be happier. Until this I had only done the booth-spray tans and I kind of hated them - smells awful, wasn't sure what to do, came out streaky. Erika is nothing but professional, the spray she uses does not smell like anything - and my tan was perfect! it lasted for much longer than any previous tan I've had, and never started looking splotchy. If you have an event coming up - definitely use Erika! read more

Erica and Ginger are the best!! The color is so good and they are so friendly and wonderful!! I would highly recommend them to anyone!

This was such a quick and easy process, and the tan turned out great. I would definitely get a spray tan at Botanical again. The first time customer coupon is a real steal! Just listen to all the rules on how to exfoliate well beforehand and don't wear any deodorant, lotions, or makeup to get sprayed. Afterwards, waitwaitwait to shower, don't shave or scrub immediately and pat dry with a towel. Totally worth it :) read more

My first spray tan was in NYC and an ok experience. Erika, however, is amazing! The appointment was easy to book online, her location is great, and she was ridiculously helpful and supportive. I wasn't sticky, oompa-loompa-looking, or smelling icky when I left. I'm so excited to be 'sporting' my tan on on vacation!!! Thank you so much! read more

I was holidaying from Australia and hunted around reviews for an airbrush tan and found Botanical Tans. Audrey did my tan, she explained everything in detail and made me feel very comfortable. The premises are in Sola Salons which is a building which has numerous little beauty rooms contained within it. Great setup and one stop shop for tans, nails, hair etc. The tan was medium and has lasted really well, so far I am on day 3 and it is perfect still. Would highly recommend and if I was ever back in Charlotte I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Botanical Tans. read more

Love, love, love Erika! She is very professional and friendly and knows her stuff. By far, the most natural looking spray tan I've ever received. Her spray tan solution is the only solution that doesn't cause a red rash-like reaction on my skin . Try out Erika. You will not be disappointed. read more

I'm going on 5 hours since I had my spray tan and my armpits are super blotchy and I have a few spots on my chest and my collar bone area. I leave for Mexico tomorrow, so I thought it would be a great idea for a spray tan. I did the prep and everything correctly. I haven't left the house today and have been in loose clothing all day so I don't mess up my spray tan. Doesn't seem like following the instructions has helped :( Not sure what the issue is. But, I am not pleased. read more

I highly recommend Erika at Botanical Tans. I don't get spray tans regularly but wanted to get one for my wedding so I did a trial before the wedding tan. Erika gave me some pointers to make the tan last and not to come off on my white wedding dress. I exfoliated and moisturized regularly prior to getting my tan done and it looked perfect for my wedding and did not come off on my dress and lasted throughout the honeymoon. I will definitely be going back for future spray tan needs! She opened a second location in Ballantyne too! read more

Ginger was excellent, very professional, explained everything thoroughly and was very interesting to chat with. She made me feel comfortable right away. I'm heading to the Caribbean so interested to see how long the glow lasts but plan to be back again! read more
