With an impending trip to Dallas this weekend and the fact that I realized my summer tan was completely gone (yikes so pale!) I was in full on search mode for a place to get a spray tan. Yelp led me to Glo and I honestly could not be any happier. It was an outstanding experience all around. I had an appointment with Allison who is seriously so sweet and awesome (not to mention made me feel super comfortable considering you're standing there in the buff). She explained the whole process, which was great because I had never had a custom airbrush tan before and we decided how dark of a tan I wanted. The tan came out beautifully!! Truly a natural glow and have been getting tons of compliments since. I will absolutely be back to keep this bronze-ness going! Oh and she also had little goodie bags for Valentines Day-seriously so cute! read more

Not the best air brush tan I've ever had but ok. To be fair- my skin was not in the greatest shape headed into the tanning session so spectacular results weren't to be expected. My skin is super sensitive to different types of tanning solutions and this one didn't bother me at all. Not sure if I will be back read more

Instant beach minus the skin cancer risks! Glo Airbrush Tan comes to you and it's actually very affordable. They also have a special for us Yelpers too. Woohoo! The girls that run this business are extremely nice and make you feel very comfortable. Their equipment is state of the art and their tanning solution is unlike anything I've ever used before in a good way. I consider myself to be a bit of an airbrush tanning pro. I've airbrush tanned everywhere from Orange County, Los Angeles, San Francisco, NYC, and a few places in between. Usually when I'm sprayed, most of the tanner comes off during the first shower and sometimes even throughout the week, especially the first few days. This one has actually stuck to my skin and didn't get all over my sheets like it usually does. I was pleasantly surprised! Initially I was worried that they hadn't sprayed me dark enough because I love to be super tan and I'm used to it turning out darker either right away or slowly developing over the course of a few hours. This solution did neither though. I am happy that the color they did spray me didn't wash off. I just wish I had known that it wasn't going to develop that much more and what I saw when they were done was pretty close to how tan I was going to be. I would have liked to be a bit darker. I'm one of those tanorexic (never tan enough) types. I'll need to call and see if that can be worked out. If so I will use their service again. One of the Glo Airbrush Tan girls texted to see how I liked my tan. I told her that I liked it I just wished it had been darker. She didn't text me back after that. Hmmm... Regardless, I would still probably repeat if they can assure me that I will be darker the next time around. read more

I've been against the whole spray-tan look for a long time. I'd seen people come out of those spray-tan booths whilst I crisped away in a tanning bed (I shudder to remember those times), and it always looked so...orange. And streaky. And fake. Well, recently I adopted a new attitude about spray tanning: (1) no wrinkles and (2) no skin cancer. Suddenly, I see it in an entirely new, bright and shiny light. Glo Airbrush Tan works right at my gym, so it was hard to say no when my friend suggested I give airbrush tanning a shot. (I think probably the ghostly white paleness of my skin was becoming offensive to some people.) I've gone twice now and, while I liked the first one, I loved the second one since it was easier for them to tell what color would work best on me. Jaclyn and Kristi are both really professional and fantastic - they clearly care about your satisfaction with their work and also are awesome at finding the best color for you. This is my new favorite spot for tanning since I've cast my spot at the pool aside for someone who'd rather look like a prune. I'm overly sensitive to looking too dark or any shade of orange, so I think it's safe to say these girls know what they're doing, as everyone at work now believes I just got back from a night in Hawaii. read more

I absolutely cannot rave enough about Glo Airbrush Tan! Jaclyn and Allison are spray tan masters! I have gone to them for so many big events... my bachelorette party, my wedding and my honeymoon tans all came from these ladies. The tan is so natural, they do a great job of knowing what you used last time so that you can request the same or lighter or darker based on your needs. These tans are worth every penny! I only wish the tan would last longer because they look so wonderful when they are on (mine usually last for a couple of days before beginning to fade, only about a day or 2 if you're in and out of the pool). Warning: You do look pretty unnaturally dark a few hours after getting it done, so I try to do it in the evening, so that I don't have errands or anything to do after. Once you shower, the color is perfection. On my first trip in, it was raining, and as I left my legs got completely streaked with water. After a quick call over, they squeezed me in later that evening and completely fixed everything so that I could make my trip the next day without zebra legs. Run, don't walk to Glo Airbrush! read more

I am no spray tan expert, more of a novice really, but Glo is the absolute best!!! It is in a very convenient/ centrally located location at the David Barton gym. (Although their space is more like a big walk-in closet in the gym- bit of a hot box. I hope they open up their own studio soon! But that's neither here nor there.) Parking in the garage across the street is always a breeze when there is no street parking available, and it only costs $1 with validation from the gym. Now for the tan- I see Alison and she is absolutely fantastic! Not only does she do a wonderful job with the tan, she makes me feel super comfortable while I'm there. It feels like I'm just hanging out talking to an old friend, as I'm stripped down half naked/ in my skivvies getting airbrushed. She makes the experience well worth the trip and expense. I always leave feeling so great and beautiful, looking like I've just returned from a week long vacation in Mexico! Love this place- and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great spray tan in the Chicagoland area. read more

I just walked out of my first airbrush tan with Kristi and I am so thrilled with the results! I normally tan fairly easily, but with no time to get out in the sun and a fear of blinding others with my paleness, I decided to turn to airbrush tanning. I've airbrush tanned in the past, but this was by far the most comfortable and professional experience I've had. Kristi was able to fit me in last minute on a Friday before the July 4th holiday weekend, which I greatly appreciated. She listened to my thoughts about the color I wanted, and fully explained everything I should do following my tan to ensure the longest lasting results. Luckily, there's a $10 off special for Yelpers, but even at $45 (the normal price), Glo is cheaper than other airbrush places with the same great quality. I will definitely be back! read more

Alison is amazing. She made me feel so comfortable and is just an overall awesome person. My airbrush tan was beautiful and lasted a good amount of time. I would definitely go back and encourage others to check this place out. I received so many complements on my skin the day of my wedding and it was all thanks to Glo.. 5 stars all the way read more

My tan looks so natural and was the perfect shade for me! It was quick and affordable and the owner is so sweet. I will be coming back!

I have tried the mystic and been disappointed every time With glo its a whole different world! I was very happy with my tan from Kristi . She was so nice and friendly and explained what she was going to do and also while she was doing the air brush. She also made me feel comfortable while getting sprayed. this is one tan that everyone will notice and compliment you on! read more

Glo Airbrush Tan is great! I get so many compliments on my tan. I go every week and love it. I couldn't be happier! -Gina Scalpone of GlamHairUs Chicago read more

Alison, the owner and "sprayer" extraordinaire, is fantastic! Not only is she friendly and makes you feel extremely comfortable (which considering you're nearly buck naked as she sprays you so it's a key part of what you want in a tanning salon), the actual tan is perfect. I've gone to her on 4 different occasions and the tan always comes out looking great - not orange or streaky. I've even been asked by strangers (like waiter) "where did you just go on vacation?". I will for sure be back! read more

I absolutely LOVED Alison @ Glo!!! She instantly made me feel comfortable and I LOVE my tan!!! It's been years since I've had a spray tan. This is the first air brush and totally worth it. She is a serious expert. I HIGHLY recommend Glo! read more

I have been going to Glo for about 5 years now and cannot say enough great things about both Alison and Carson. They make you feel super comfortable while getting sprayed. I feel like I am chatting with my girlfriends while they are busy working away. My tan always lasts a week and more importantly it is fully CUSTOMIZED. They ask what I am tanning for, how long I would like my tan to last, etc. then we decide on a color together and its always perfect. I always send my girlfriends here and would highly recommend checking them out! read more

I've never had an airbrush tan and I've always been super nervous to try it out with the fear of looking unnatural. I have pale/fair skin. Alison took great care me and made my tan look SO natural! I went with the lowest color and it worked perfectly with my skin. I can't believe I've waited this long to try out Glo Airbrush. Happy I tried it out because I'll be coming back next time I need a tan! Alison is the absolute best!! Also love how you can use Chase Quick pay. Highly recommend Go Airbrush! read more

I've used Glo Airbrush Tan twice, both for weddings. Wow! I am so impressed by the tan and service. They are kind, friendly, fun, and make you feel so comfortable while you are getting tanned. The airbrush tan was perfect and with their directions lasted for the weddings and beyond. I received many compliments and felt very confident. read more

The best airbrush tan! These women make you feel so comfortable and you walk out feeling amazing. Kristi has been tanning me for 2 years and does a fantastic job every time! Love GLO! read more

I simply cannot say enough good things about Glo! Carson made me feel SO comfortable, which is comforting when you're naked in front of a stranger :) She explained the whole process and after care so nicely without making me feel silly, as this was my first time at their salon. My tan looks WONDERFUL, dark brown with no hint of orange at all and I will definitely be back again! read more

So i tried a new company in chicago l loved her reviews on here ..very fast (not in a rush way) at all!! very professional super convenient amazing color and products ...will deff see her again and can't tell you how much of a life savor she was deff a must if downtown chicago !!! A++ xoxo read more

I came to Glo today after reading other yelp reviews. Although I was hesitant at first, as it was bit pricey in my opinion, I went anyways as it was $10 off your first visit. Needless to say, it was well worth it! Alison did a great job and she instantly makes you feel comfortable. I mean, what else can you ask for while being nude AF in front of a stranger?! read more

I can't say enough about Alison and Carson at Glo. So sweet and make you feel so comfortable which is beyond important when getting airbrushed. The quality of the tan is amazing as well - I have extremely dry skin and Alison is always so great about prepping my skin as well as finishing the tan with a moisturizing spray. The Deluxe service is worth paying for if you have dry skin like me! Not only do they have a convenient location, they will come to your house and personally spray you and/or a group of friends with discounts for the more people you have sprayed. Before a wedding I was in, I hosted all of the bridesmaids at my apartment for Alison to spray us. She set up a tent in my kitchen while the rest of us hung out - it was beyond perfect! We wanted her to stay for a glass of wine, she was so fun! I honestly can't see myself going anywhere else for a custom airbrush ever again - these ladies are simply the best in Chicago. read more

I'm a bit of a spray tan connoiseur; I had skin issues ten years ago and have exclusively spray tanned ever since. After years of Mystic-induced streaking, I am so glad the technology has evolved. I've sprayed pretty much everywhere in Chicago (possibly literally everywhere) and Glo is the absolute best. This review actually comes late; I've been going to them exclusively for upwards of six months. A few things set glo apart: 1. Their ability/willingness to customize. We all know spray tans settle differently on different skin, and these girls are dedicated pros who blend a color for you based on what you want. Depending on the weekend, I ask for a light tan or a dark color and Allison switches it up perfectly.2. Quality; The only places that come CLOSE to this even and natural looking of a tan are ortanic and benefit (which I find to be too orange) and both places charge much more ... and are less personalized. It's just the best quality around. 3. Duration! By far the longest lasting spray tan out there. Still looks good more a week later due to the primer they use. 4. Convenience - Incredibly flexible schedule. Allison is often booked up, but still always finds a time to fit me in. You can just tell these ladies really care about their business and their customers. On a personal level, the only "complaint" I ever have is that I am usually doubled over laughing at some point by something allison says, which I guess could potentially risk my spray tan :) I actively look forward to coming into Glo! read more

Really disappointed with my tan. I asked for dark and after it fully developed it was maybe 1-2 shades darker than my natural skin tone. After washing it off it was splotchy and like i never even got one. I am on the pale side however i have been spray tanning for 10 years and have always been able to develop a deep tan. Was really expecting more after the reviews. read more

Amazing airbrush tan, totally professional, worth every penny!!! Love glo!!

As a pale white Irish girl, I was a little skeptical to get a "fake" tan, but had to go to a wedding and didn't want to burn anyone's corneas with my pale legs! First, they were extremely professional. Second, the color is SO natural and lasted up to a week (probably would have been longer had I not worked out everyday). No chemicals and it wasn't all streaky. I would absolutely recommend Glo and have already to my friends. It's also very convenient seeing as I'm a member of David Barton Gym which is a location where they apply the tans. read more

These girls are very sweet and accomodating. My tan looked great and she was so professional during the session. She really took her time to make sure I got what I wanted. I would recommend Glo to anyone! read more

I have tried so many different self tanning products (including the mystic @tan salons)....I never once got a "tan" that I was happy with. Either it was orange, or streaky, or both! This will NEVER happen with the Glo Girls!! They are perfectionists (and it shows)! The first time I went was probably 5 months ago. Like most people, it took a lot for me to get over the idea of standing nude in front of a complete stranger. But Kristi & Jaclyn couldn't be any sweeter, & really do a great job making you feel comfortable. (They both have that gift of gab & keep you talking - so you kind of forget that you're naked). They are always willing to answer any questions & offer tips on how to get the most out of your tan. I am proud to say that I have had a beautiful & healthy "glo" all summer :-) Almost everyday, I get a compliment on how great my skin/tan looks. I am totally hooked on the airbrush tan. I go every 7-10 days & couldn't be happier!! Kristi & Jaclyn are the BEST! read more

i love the tans here! the color is always perfect and they are so much more even than i ever thought possible. i've never had a problem getting an appointment time and i like the option of having them come to my house if going to dbg doesn't work. kristi & jackie are really funny & cool too - which makes standing nude & requesting that they spray paint abs on my chubby stomach much less awkward. seriously though, they can really make certain areas of your body look much better. read more

Glo Airbrush Tan was nothing short of fantastic! From the second I was greeted until I left, everything was great. If I could give more than five stars for the following I would Customer service- so personable/friendly and professional. I choose to go without anything on during the tan and Alison made me feel comfortable the whole time. Price- extremely reasonable especially for the amazing long lasting tan Ease- you don't need to think, from the instructions they give you to prep yourself before you show up, to telling you where to move and how to stand while they are tanning you, to giving you instructions on what to do after, everything is effortless. I was in and out in about twenty minutes (for the whole process). Make sure to show up with loose clothes to put on after the tan. Also if you need to drive and park, it is $1! In Chicago that is unheard of. Beautiful tan- I am glowing Cleanliness- I have been to places where I think is this place clean, never had to worry about that here. You stand on a towel and the room in general just feels clean I just got my tan and I already can't wait to go back! read more

I just recently moved back to Chicago and was looking for my new go-to place to get an airbrush spray tan and Glo did not disappoint! Alison did my spray session and she made me feel so comfortable because she was so sweet, fun, and easy to talk to! It's easy to see that she is an expert at airbrushing. My tan is flawless so I will definitely be returning frequently! read more

Best spray tan in the city, hands down. They take a consultative approach and really work with your skin tone/coloring to make sure the tan you get really works for you. Ompa-Loompa orange? No way! I was a golden bronze that totally worked with my blonde hair and naturally light skin. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a weekly tan or for a special event. read more

The ladies were very sweet but this was a fail. If you have no skin issues or worries you will probably be fine. I get that this works for a lot of people but not for everyone. I made an appointment online with Alison but got Carson. I communicated a skin issue ahead of time with Alison. This was an appointment for my daughter, a first-time tanner with a bad sunburn on her back and torso who came to even out before prom. Unfortunately the dry sunburnt areas got even tanner, making the difference even more dramatic. The chest area became patchy. It was advised as okay to wash her face that night but water dripped down her arms when washing her face and messed up her arms. The kid was sobbing the day after. I asked for advice and was told she should use bronzer to fix. I emailed a follow up got ghosted. More knowledge about working with different people's skin conditions and how the process works on people differently would be helpful. The test of a business' mettle is what happens when things don't work out as nothing is ever perfect 100% of the time. Blithe assurances that everything would be awesome and lack of concern left me underwhelmed. read more

Alison was amazing - so personable and knew exactly what she was doing. I would go back just to talk to her. My skin is fair and the color is perfect and natural. read more

I had my first airbrush tan with Alison a few weeks ago, and it was the BEST spray tan I have ever had. Not only was she easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable, but the tan itself was phenomenal. I didn't have any streaks, the color was perfect, and it lasted well over a week. I have already scheduled another tan and can't wait to go back. I'm so glad that I found Alison at Glo! read more

Glo is my new go-to spot! The space is very welcoming and Alison is just the best person ever. This was my first time getting a spray tan and I was a little nervous but she put me at ease right away. Alison answered all of my questions and she was super quick and efficient. I was in and out in 20 minutes! I am already thinking about my next appointment with Glo and can't wait! read more

I have had some bad experiences with airbrushing in my day and Glo is definitely where to go. They have an array of different shades and they definitely know what they are talking about. They pay attention to what you want rather than what they think would look best. We all have our personal opinions but they let you have yours. I am very fair and they kept it light and I really did walk out have a light glow. No streaks, no orange spots. Jaclyn was fantastic. Very nice and down to Earth. The facility was clean and simple. I will definitely be going back. read more

I made a yelp profile just so I could write this. I tried to call this place multiple times before my appointment to confirm their location. I had an appointment for 8pm tonight and literally drove to each address on their website (the Southport nd North Ave. locations) - PS- their website has two WRONG addresses. I also went to the location google maps take you when you put in Glo Airbrush Tan Chicago. Needless to say, I wasted about an hour of my Friday night, driving around through rush hour, to try to make my appointment and am so disappointed. I wanted to use Glo for my wedding, and booked this as a trial run before my makeup trial this weekend. I am just so let down. They also never answer their phone and do not return calls. read more

I have had the pleasure of getting sprayed by Alison for many years and can say she is the most kind and compassionate professional in the industry. The tan is phenomenal and I always receive great feedback from coworkers and friends regarding how authentic, natural and real the tan looks. It lasts for a solid week and does not get splotchy or fade in weird patterns. I also can't say enough about how comfortable Alison makes you feel during the whole process. Will always recommend Glo and look forward to continuing to use them for years to come! read more

If you're looking for a place to get a spray tan. This is it! I can't recommend glo enough. I had a spray tan with Alison. She's incredible! Very friendly, personable and makes you feel unbelievably comfortable. The actual tan itself...I'm in love! I got sprayed on a Wednesday for a Friday wedding and it looked perfect. I have never received more compliments in my life that I think I'm going to have to start getting spray tans for more than just special occasions. Can't wait to go back! read more

Glo is absolutely amazing! I've been coming here for over a year and my airbrush tans are always on point. Carson took care of me the other day and I have nothing but good things to say about her. She was very easy to talk to and she gave me a beautiful tan that was long lasting. I highly recommend Glo Airbrush Tan!! You will not be disappointed. read more
