I absolutely love getting spray tans from Nikki Tans! I am a natural redhead so my freckled pale skin is very prone to sunburn and never tans (naturally). I have tried at home self-tanners which always leave me streaky and other spray tans (Mystic Beach) which make me look like I rolled around in Cheetos. I have gotten 6 or 7 tans in the last couple years, usually before a vacation. I never thought a tan could look so good and natural on me! After my tan, I look just as dark and even as my friends who visit tanning booths. Nicole, the owner, is very professional and welcoming, plus her own tan always looks impeccable. The actual experience is quick and painless, but remember to wear underwear that won't leave a weird tan line (I learned the hard way after my first appointment!) They also sell apparel, accessories and skin care products that compliment the tan. The items are on the pricey side but are great quality. I'm addicted to the Sun Bum sunblock, it smells so good! I also use the tan-extending lotion and I believe it does work. My only complaint is that I wish the tan lasted longer. Nikki Tans says it will last up to two weeks but I find it's more like 5 days depending on how much you swim and exercise. I always get my tan before a vacation and I start out tanner than my friends and return home paler whereas everyone else got darker! The tan fades pretty evenly, especially if you use the lotion twice a day, but I'm always left with a kind of awkward looking patchy appearance on my chest in the final days of the tan. Nothing a little exfoliating won't fix ;) If I could afford it, I would get spray tanned all year long! read more

Nikki Tans - Tanning Near Me - Berkeley Heights, New Jersey

The owner is not a nice a person! Don't like her clothing it's only for the young and she doesn't cater to the old generation.

Such good tans!! Not splotchy or streaky and very natural look!! Workers are so sweet and very helpful

If you need a consistent place to get spray tans I have been coming to Nikki Tans for a couple years now and could not imagine going anywhere else. Everyone is so kind and fun and makes you feel so comfortable. Their spray tans come out so natural and they help guide you on which tan to get and how to maintain the tan. They also have the best accessories and a cute boutique to shop before or after your tan. Cannot recommend them enough!!!! read more

I've been multiple times for a spray tan! They always do such an amazing job. So beautiful every time.

I've been coming to Nikki for 10 years and the tan is always flawless! Nicole is always so sweet and helps me pick the best dresses for my wife which she always loves! read more

Hello I want to say I'm very sad that Nikki tans didn't respond to see if I can come at a later time for my tan . I understand their cancellation policy but I referred business to them and spent a lot of money in their boutique several times ,I did forget about my appointment , the day before I was sick, and the day of appointment a work emergency pulled me into a meeting and I honestly forgot, my fault yes. But it is sad that they charged my account without even trying to see if I could come in later,not caring at all. I get policies but life happens it's disheartening, they do beautiful work but I don't like them charging my card and not working with the client, it shows me they care only about money not their customers , I hung up yes because I was upset, and I apologized in a text and asked if I could come at a later time no response back, but this just was a bad day, as I said life happens. I hope someone is understanding when life happens to them , Thank you. read more

absolutely love this place, they give amazing spray tans, all the people there are super friendly and the vibe is just warm and comforting definately recommend them to anyone I talk too read more

The tan was fine..but I have to agree with many reviews here. The sales push for the clothes was too much. I don't mind browsing...but the owner kept loading me up with clothing saying 'you have to try this'. My bad..I ended up buying something which i will now sell on Postmark as I don't like it :) I take full responsibility for that. But I won't go back. Girl from Ipanema is a much better experience. They don't charge you for disposable underwear and add a 'covid charge' (what is that?). read more

Tans: I like that it's a more natural product than most spray/self tanners. But I found the process a little rushed and I had a hard time hearing her when she was telling me how to move when spraying the tan (since she is wearing a mask over her mouth and the machine is loud). Tan looked good and lasted about a week if I remember. Boutique: there are no words!!!! I thought it was just the owner who is up your ass to make a sale but she must train all her employees to act just like her. PUSHY PUSHY PUSHY. I wanted to buy something but refused on principle since her employee was shoving merchandise down my throat. Very unprofessional. "Try this one. Did you see this? We just got these in. These look great on, try it! Do you wanna look at jewelry?" Like seriously?! I am a grown ass woman and I can make my own decisions about what I like, what I want to try on, and what I want to buy. Also, stuff is RIDICULOUSLY overpriced compared to other stores/online. A $40 vest I had bought earlier the same day they were trying to sell for $68!!! And leggings for $88 I looked online were $50!!! Give me a break!! Save yourself a headache and some of your hard earned money. read more

I have not had a spray tan since my daughter was born because I've felt less secure being exposed in front of strangers, but the staff at Nikki's is so nice and professional. I felt extremely comfortable. She explained the before and after process and made it so easy. Also the product does not have a smell like some places. And it dries so quickly so you're not stuck standing like a starfish. I saw immediate beautiful results. It's so even and natural. I love it! Big thanks to Dina for her precision. read more

I was very happy with the way my tan came out. I was squeezed in pretty last minute on a Friday before the wedding I was attending on the day after. They were attentive to my concerns about not being orange. I am a pale redhead and I worried that I would come out like a freak. They assured me that it would look natural and it did. I was a nice golden brown for about 3 days. My face probably faded first. I will say that the tan did start to fade in an interesting way. It did not fade evenly and it seemed to fade based on my sleep pattern. The insides of my arms turned white while the outer arms stayed tan. I think it was related to sweating and that I sleep on my side with my arms bent. Overall, I was happy considering I only rely on a spray tan for a good two days. I will definitely return for the wedding I have in May. Full body tan $55. Great price, too. read more

Nicole was amazing super professional and great customer service. This was my first spray tan and she made me feel super comfortable. The tan looks amazing and took only not even three minutes she is super fast and really good at what she does she makes sure your not standing there cold. read more

I had the opportunity to get sprayed at nikki tans and i was so impressed with the cleanliness. I have been to a few airbrush places in the past and this hands down was the best! The tan lasted a long time and Nicole did a exceptional job She was very professional and made me feel comfortable. I like nikki tans cause she only focusues on airbrushing and has mastered it. All top of the line stuff.. Christina,NJ read more

Be aware... They require you to wear underwear during your spray tan. This is not my preference as I don't want to deal with tan lines. They didn't tell me when I booked, so I was quite upset to find out on arrival that they would not do my spray tan nude. And to add insult to injury they then charged me for a pair of disposable underwear. Unfortunately, I was leaving town the next day, so I had no choice but to make the best of it. The underwear gave me crooked and uneven tan lines that made me feel insecure rather than sexy. Other cons: I had a lot of the solution on the bottom of my feet that I had to wipe off when I got home. Perhaps this is because they use paper rather than a towel for you to stand on. The tan itself came out OK, but not amazing. The color came out a little more grey than I like. The application was fairly even and not splotchy. Lighter on my legs for some reason, but I noticed they made a point of spraying carefully under my chin, so my neck was quite dark. Pros: Friendly. Nicole personally followed up with me to see how the tan turned out. Also, they give you a mask to wear during most of the tan. Tan fairly even and also lasted about a week. read more

Nikki is so friendly and professional. You can tell that she is truly passionate about her business! Her salon has a fun Miami beach flair to it and is super clean. I got a spray tan prior to going on vacation and it looks amazing. I feel great! I'll definitely be returning to Nikki in the future! Update: I almost hate to share one of my best kept secrets but Nikki's clothing and beachwear selection is amazing. She has an incredible eye for buying. I spent way too much money in there (due to the amount I bought, not the prices which are very reasonable!) today but walked out with an armful of gorgeous sweaters AND beachwear. read more

Nikki Tans is my go to spot for spray tans. My color is perfect every single time. I can't ever go in without also shopping & getting styled by Nikki. It's also such a cute boutique filled with all kinds of unique cute items i can't get in the regular stores, especially the beachwear! read more

I would recommend everyone I know to this place!I have gone to many different places over the years for spray tans. I am super white so getting a natural looking spray tan has always been a challenge for me....l. Nikki Tans is very clean, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the waiting area is comfortable and there is a variety of cute gifty items and clothing. I just had my first tan there and am going to schedule a second tan in two weeks! The color is amazing and I absolutely LOVE IT read more

I was looking for a reliable place to get spray tans. After someone suggested Nikki Tans, I have been going ever since! I have pale skin, and the tans turn out natural and great. The customer service is excellent, and they are always willing to help and make you feel so welcomed. I highly recommend! read more

This is one of the worse customer service experiences I have ever had !!! STAY AWAY!! I recently got a spray tan and something went wrong! I gave the owner plenty of time to compensate me or make the problem Right. She refused ! As mentioned in an earlier review she is strictly about making money , no customer service. There are plenty of other places one can go for an amazing tan and receive better service !!! read more

Love Nikki tans. I am very fair and my skin is not very forgiving. The tan always looks natural. The service is great and they have the cutest items in the shop. Every time I enter, I feel like I am already at the beach. Highly recommend...my teen daughter is now a client too! read more

I had an 8:00 pm appointment and I was told I needed to arrive 15 minutes to "tour" the salon. I thought this sounded strange, but I arrived at 7:45 and it was uncomfortable. The "tour" was an attempt to sell me everything in the store. I politely said after a few minutes I wasn't interested in shopping just the tan. The spray tan was horrible. I had streaks all over my body. Not to mention the color was orange. I've been spray tanned dozens of times and this was my worst experience. After the spray tan the employee continued to try and sell me more products. I understand they are trying to make money on products but the sales push is too much. Never again. read more

Great tans! Felt super comfortable with girls that do spray ons. They are so nice and customize your tan by color and areas you want lighter/darker. They are thorough with prep and aftercare info for best results. Love this place! Awesome store, nice people and they are so accommodating, they squeezed me in on 2 separate occasions last minute read more

This is the best spray tanning place in New Jersey. They always accommodate you when you call - even last minute. Their tans look realistic and never streak. Their location is easy to get to and also has clothes that I really love!! I cannot believe what a difference a spray tan can make! This is the only place I would ever go to get to spray tanned! Try it - you won't be disappointed! read more

I never write reviews of any place. But, I am doing this for the first time to warn the future goers to Nikki Tans. Well, I agree that Nikki's Tanning Place is neat and clean, and tastefully done. But I really have to say that I had the most nasty experience at her tanning boutique. She burnt my hands, and left my tan blotchy all over my body, arms and legs. After returning home with the tan yesterday, my skin burned like hell for 7-8 hours. I felt like my body was on fire; and felt like someone was pulling and stretching my entire skin out. I could not sleep the entire night. I got it done yesterday evening, and now at noon the following day my skin is still burning with weird sensations. I also felt bad odor coming out of the tan on my body. I also found Nikki to be unethical. She told me she will charge thirty dollars for tanning my legs and arms; and she ended up charging me over forty dollars. I did not want any other parts of my body tanned-I just wanted my white patches on the arms and legs to be tanned. Also, she had proposed that she will only tan the white spots on my body, but when we went into the tanning booth, she went ahead and sprayed my entire legs, arms as well as back and front also! I was speechless because the spray had already gone over my body, and I could not stop her half way through. By the way, the tan continues to smell offensive even after showering and scrubbing today! Frankly, I am surprised to see two people giving her 5 stars! read more

Nikki Tans is GREAT!!! I have been going every 2 weeks since it opened and I look like I just got back from Bora Bora, ALL THE TIME!!! I am very fair skinned and can't go in the sun but love being tan, now I love, love, love going to Nikki Tans, not only is the experience exceptional, but I can look great and tan all year long!! Anyone looking for this service, hands down this is the place to go!!! read more

I called late Friday night for an early morning appointment on Saturday & they got back to me with in maybe an hour which was awesome! When I got there, I couldn't have felt any more comfortable. First, you walk into the cutest boutique w/ all sorts of gorgeous merchandise. They took their time explaining the process. A easy consultation of my desires & she even relieved any fears of being Orange or Too Dark! Professional & Fun! The actual process was quick & easy. I have a very light natural looking tan w/ no sun! I can't wait to bring my daughter for her formal & my best friend for a wedding we have! Even if you don't want a healthy glow, I suggest stopping in & checking out the boutique! Great finds for Christmas Gifts! read more

What an awesome place, so chic and tasteful! Nicole was very professional and obviously an expert at spray tanning. I have fair skin and was concerned about looking too dark, but no so. My tan was perfect, dried quickly, no streaking or funky orange color. Quick in and out, Fun products to purchase! Ready to go back and update my pale look! Mary, Basking Ridge NJ read more

I have visited a couple of times. Tans are nice, natural-looking. During my last visit a couple of weeks ago, the staff was much more interested in selling me things than getting my tan right. The lady made so many attempts to sell me all kinds of stuff, it was almost comical (the effort was so pushy and exaggerated it felt like an SNL skit). The purpose of my appointment was to get a tan and not to shop for things I don't need. I wish the person had spent at least half the time she spent pushing merchandise instead listening to how I wanted the tan customization. The color was barely there, not worth the cost. As much as I've liked the quality of the tans from my previous visits, not likely to go back or make referrals. Just too much hassling, it's uncomfortable. read more

If you are in need of a flawless custom airbrush tan and/or the most adorable and unique store goodies than Nikki tans is your place!!! The best airbrush tan EVER and the ladies are fabulous! read more

Best place to get an airbrush tan!!! I have used Nicole multiple times including for my wedding. Each time I've gone she has been great and pays attention to every detail. Her shop is also full of the cutest stuff for you to look at when you're done. Highly recommend!! read more

I'm writing this for my husband, a resident Californian, who waited to travel all the way to NJ during the holidays to get newly-bronzed from Nikki Tans. He absolutely LOVES it! It literally took 10 years off his appearance - needless to say he was very thrilled with the result! Ashley was very solid in explaining the process and suggesting what tanning intensity would be best for him. We trusted her and Nicole completely: they answered every question we had thoroughly and they are highly knowledgeable about the products they use. The ambiance is extremely inviting and professional at the same time - I actually felt like we were in an upscale salon in Miami! While I was waiting for my husband, I got a chance to check out the various items around the shop like the stylish jewelry on display, the trendy street wear and chic summer dresses, as well as a variety of tanning care products. And apparently they are always getting new, but limited, items in the shop so I've been checking in to see what they have so I can get first dibs on an item that I want. I also signed up for their blog (http://www.nikkitans.com/) so that I'm always informed on whatever they have going on. This is one of the best spray tanning salons out there. We went a couple of times while we were in town and had such a great experience both times (and I could NOT leave empty-handed - there was always something I wanted and I promise you will, too!). As for the spray tanning, this was a 5-star experience that my husband would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants glowing skin. And yes, he will be going back when we return to the area again. read more

Great experience...beautiful setting and so quick. Love my even natural looking tan and did a little shopping too! Got the cutest summer jumper. Highly recommend Nikki Tans! Debbie M read more

Nikki Tans did an AMAZING job!! I went there before a wedding and it was my first time doing a custom spray tan, the color was absolutely perfect and was so natural looking I was SO impressed! I asked for medium bronze tan - so you could tell I was tan but not too much like I went on vacation and it was so perfect I was so happy! I'll never go tanning in a bed ever again. THANKS NIKKI TANS :) read more

All of the 5-star ratings must be from people she knows because I had THE worst service at this establishment. Everything was wrong from the very beginning. When I made the appointment, I was provided with some do's/dont's, but OOPS...someone forgot to tell me to exfoliate the day before spraying. When did I find out about this very important detail? On my way out!!! Yes, I was handed a "before/after" card and I read it hours later. She was a horrible business woman. She did not introduce herself, did not explain her "wonderful" product, had me waiting in the tanning room for 10 minutes, she did not honor my referral card, because I forgot to present it to her and refused to give me a refund. I was so blotchy, I was embarrassed to wear summer clothes the next day. It was uneven throughout my body. She was so bad, I wouldn't even go back to demand a redo. Totally unprofessional. I would never refer anyone to this place. read more

I am hooked on Nikki Tans , I was a once a week customer on the tanning beds until my dermatologist removed a pre cancerous spot on my back, 4 months ago. I now go to see Nikki twice a month to have a continuous tan. She is very professional ,experienced and educated on the air brush tanning. Hands down the best around. I even was able to purchase trendy gifts for my friends and family. read more

I was very skeptical of getting a spray tan but after coming to Nikki Tans I look forward to coming back again!!! Nikki Tans was not only clean and welcoming but the staff is very professional. Ashley gave me my first spray tan and did an outstanding job and I am in love with my natural tan. I was the envy of everyone at the wedding I went to because I had this beautiful tan. I also want to make mention of the fact that Nikki has a wide variety of accessories and clothes that I will be coming back to check out. Thanks Nikki and Ashley!!! read more

A great experience with a beautiful result. Very nice and professional staff and gorgeous merchandise for sale!

They do a great job, customer your color to whatever you want. They also have great clothes and jewelry. Highly recommend Nikki's
