For a few years I chose to embrace my milky-white skin due to not being able to find a salon (or brand of spray tan) that didn't turn me a shade of burnt orange. Riviera uses Norvell and EVLOV, and both are great. I initially chose this spa for my occasional spray tans due to its close proximity to my house. I mean, who wants to drive across town covered in spray tan funk? Not me. There seems to be a different employee at the location every time, but I've never had an issue with any of the spray tans I've received. read more

I had never had a spray tan before and was a little apprehensive. Anthony walked me through the entire process and was highly informative and helpful! Spray came out great! My friends hadn't been to a spray tan either and they were all surprised by how even and great color I had. Will definitely be back- I've already scheduled my next appt! I'm new to spray tans but mine lasted about 8 days before starting to really fade and by 2 weeks was completely gone. Never streaked or faded in patches. Would recommend going every 10-14 days if you want a solid tan. read more

Love this place! Great beds and Super friendly staff :)) Recommend for spray tan too! read more

Riviera Tan Spa - Babygirl!! - Spray Tanning Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I can't rate them high enough. I went in for a trial/ color match spray tan in preparation for my wedding this winter. Not only was I a last minute drop in, Anthony was SO kind and took the time to understand what look I was going for and what "color" undertone I wanted. (Olive, pink, etc) He absolutely nailed it. My wedding is a winter wedding, so I don't want to be too dark- this trial could not have turned out better. I'm an even color and not super dark, he absolutely nailed it. I went out with one of my local bridesmaids and she's planning to go see Anthony to get color matched for her skin. See you in a couple months for the big day!! THANK YOU!! 10/10 read more

Riviera Tan Spa - Color difference/ "tan lines" for reference. - Spray Tanning Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Obsessed! The best spray tan!! Everyone here is so sweet and helpful too! They answered any questions I had

Had the best experience with the spray tan. Anthony explained everything thoroughly. I'm super happy with how it turned out!

The spray tan here is the best! Great color, coverage and application!! It's also only $40 which is a lot cheaper than anywhere else I found for a custom airbrush tan. read more

Anthony is a rockstar! This place is fantastic and they couldn't be more warm and inviting. I can't say enough nice things about their business. read more

Anthony is the best!! He is so hardworking and makes sure that every tan is perfect. Before trying Riviera, I was always scared to get a spray tan because of how they had turned out in the past- not anymore! Everytime, my spray comes out perfectly and everyone is asking where I went on vacation. It's extremely natural looking and he suits the tan to your wants and needs. This place is the BEST tanning spot in nashville (and the US). I'm a life long customer!!! read more

I've been going here for several years for my spray tan and I will never go anywhere else! The staff is all very welcoming, professional, and knowledgeable about their products and services. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. I had never had a spray tan before so I was a little nervous about it but Anthony is AMAZING. He made me feel so comfortable and has always answered any questions I had. His prices are super reasonable and he even has packages! I have been going to Anthony for spray tans since last year and every time is such a pleasure. I've recommended this place to some of my friends and they all had an amazing experience. Not only does Anthony give a great spray tan, but he genuinely is one of the nicest people I've met and has such a big heart. He cares so much about his clients and his work. He even offers free touch ups. read more

Anthony was so great!! He guided me through everything when I had my first spray last week.( May 20) Today came for a touch up! My spray has come out prefect each time. read more

I don't normally write negative reviews. I went in with an appointment for one of the tanning beds, which I was told when I arrived that it wasn't working and probably won't ever be fixed because it's an old bed. Another bed was recommended to me and so I spent time in there and now have stripes of red on my back. Extremely disappointed and will never go back. read more

Anthony is so kind and amazing ! This is hands down the best spray tan I've ever had ! Thank you Anthony ! Can't wait to see you again ! So glad someone is keeping the Spa alive after so long ! read more

I really hate to have to leave such a low review as I found the people at the counter to be super friendly and helpful. However, the spray tan I received was so uneven and blotchy that I had to exfoliate it off within days. I have had spray tans done before so I am familiar with how to prep before going in. On this particular day, I was in need of a last minute spray tan and my regular place was already closed. Riviera was open and willing to get me in. Spray tans are not cheap so after paying for the service plus a generous tip I found myself very very unhappy with the results. UPDATE: Since I do not have a way of replying to the spa owner's response, I will post my response here. As I mentioned in my original post, I am not new to spray tans and DID in fact shower and exfoliate prior to coming into their salon. There was no refund given to me despite what the owner is claiming below nor did I request for one. My post is simply to share my experience. I am disappointed with the results of my spray tan and will not return. read more

Anthony does a wonderful spray tan! Super friendly, professional, and explains every step. Highly recommend if this is your first spray tan! He made me look perfect for my wedding day and answered all my questions. Wonderful customer service! read more

Last weekend I was forced to accompany my girlfriend to Riviera Tanning Salon after a short jaunt at Green Hills Mall (the salon is right near by). As I walked in, I was taken aback at how nice it was in side. The floors are marble and there is a lot of dark wood every where on the walls. The lady at the counter was very nice and showed her back into the room where her spray tan was going to take place. They have an array of different kinds of machines. They offer stand up, lay down, and a spray tan facility. I was happy the waiting room was stocked with a variety of magazines (mostly fitness magazines). I was a bit overwhelmed by the smell inside, it smelled like lotion and burnt flesh! read more

Got an amazing spray tan with Riviera's updated spray tanning solution! The color was absolutely so natural and I got multiple compliments on the smoothness of my skin & complexion. It faded super gradually with no splotching whatsoever! Love the upgrade. read more

Riviera Tan Spa - Spray tan by riviera - Spray Tanning Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Best aispray tan in Nashville!! Love the staff and the price point for spray tans! I come once a week and i wouldn't go anywhere else

After a few drinks downtown, I booked an appointment last minute at 9:30pm. Anthony was informative, professional, and detail-oriented. He understood the assignment. read more

Wow! What an amazing staff and service! I'm absolutely obsessed with spray tans now. I am glowing and it looks like I just got back from the beach-----not fake orange looking at all. My best friend owns a spray tan salon in LA and Riviera is the only place she will come to when in Nashville! I will be coming back every week! Thank you for walking me out with an umbrella in the rain too!! I'll be back very soon! read more

I just moved to Nashville a few months back and was looking for a new tanning salon and found this one! I'm so glad I did, the prices are very reasonable, the workers are always so welcoming and the beds are amazing. I was nervous coming to a new tanning salon knowing how most always try to sell you extra things but they are so easy going here! I go here very often and always look forward to it. I've kept my summer tan this whole time! I would highly recommend going to this tanning salon! read more

I have been going to Riviera for 16 years! I won't go anywhere else! Great customer service and their beds never let you down! I love the Ultrabronze!!! I can't recommend this place enough!!!! read more

Willow and Anthony are the BEST!!! Get your tan here ABSOLUTELY!! Riviera is on the second floor of the plaza, there's stairs and an elevator! Their door is always open- literally! Make an appointment via their website or walk ins are welcome too. I love the custom airbrush spray tan- It comes out perfect EVERY TIME!!!!!! No weird splotching(I've heard some nightmare stories from some other places) because Willow is personally looking at the tan as it's going on making sure it's even and looks the way you like it! They have two different solutions as well, one where you can take a shower in 1-3 hours and a more classic one that you can shower in 6-8 hours. I've had good luck with both, but when I have the time I choose the 6-8 hour solution (meaning it takes 6-8 hours for the color to dry/ develop) because I feel like it lasts like one/ two days longer! There are also tanning beds as well! I have had SEVERAL spray tans here and it's always SUPER chill. It's also very reasonably priced for the quality of the tans and the service in my opinion. One time it was raining when my session was over (only takes like 15 minutes total from walking in to leaving BTW) and Willow offered to walk me down to my car with her umbrella so as to not mess the tan up! She's great and so is the owner, Anthony! Seriously, go get your tan there and get it now! read more

YALLLLLLL. I cannot rave enough about Riviera Tan. I'm an avid spray tanner and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. From the moment I contacted the salon to the moment I left, was nothing short of professional, courteous and exceptional. It started with one of my girlfriends telling me about this guy who does these spray tans in green hills. I was hesitant at first just because it was a male doing it and I never wear anything while getting sprayed. But I trusted my friend and made an appointment. Anthony greeted me at the door and explained the process for me. Answered all my questions and offered everything from a pony tail holder, makeup wipe, disposable underwear and disposable robe (for afterwards). *Side note, the entire salon was clean. You can tell that is not a category they lack in :)* Once the spray started Anthony was meticulous, and very aesthetic in his spray. He sprays to create natural shadows were the body contours. They spray was flawless. (And I know it's just the bronzer the first 8 hours but still, it looked great). After the spray he offered the disposable robe and anything else I needed. I did not feel rushed, pressured or uncomfortable in any way. The next morning I woke up and took a shower to see what the end result would be. *another side note, I had a photoshoot this particular morning so I was very worried about my hands and feet being blotchy*. Nope. Not a single blotch. I literally had my boyfriend look my body over to try and find one. Nothing. I couldn't believe it. It looked so natural. I have been back several times to see Anthony and have yet to be disappointed. read more

Went for a spray tan here today. Tara did a great job at explaining the colors and a great job of spraying. I'm very happy and I will go back, however next time I will stay in the room a little longer before I get dressed. I have some funky marks where my bra is. I think it would be a great idea if they had a fan in the room to dry you rather than a small hand held blow dryer. Lesson learned but next time I will definitely stay in the room for awhile read more

Got a spray tan from Tara- it was amazing! Looked so natural and she was awesome to let me customize it & add another layer to make it the perfect shade for me. Lasted a while- got it for photographs and it looked beautiful in pictures! Will definitely go back! read more

Highly recommend!! I'm far from experienced when it comes to tanning salons, but have done a few sessions at different ones around Nashville without wanting to commit to a membership or monthly-based payment. Given that, this was by far the best experience I've had. They have a great selection of beds, and the facilities were clean and well cared for. What set Riviera apart was how personal it was. I was lucky to be there with the owner, who talked me through all the different options to figure out what was best for me. I also didn't get the feeling that I've had at some other chain tanning places that I was being gouged, or led into buying the most expensive option or unnecessary add-ons, which made the experience so much more positive for me. Whether you're looking for a shot of color before vacation or more regular tanning, I HIGHLY recommend Riviera Tan Spa. Cannot stress enough how much it stands out from the other places I've been!!!!! EDIT// after my tan had time to develop, it looks amazing! super even and not splotchy without looking unnatural. read more

So I'm new to the area and decided to try out Riviera because it advertised a $20 spray tan on their website. I am a frequent spray tanner and thought it sounded like a good deal. Worst spray tan I've ever had, I came out looking like a diseased Mickey Mouse... not cool. And to make things even better, when I went to check out the owner charged me $45 for the spray tan!! Unbelievable. When I mentioned the $20 special on their website he started getting real defensive and pawned it off on his clerk. Never going back ever... what a nightmare!! read more

Great service, employees are so nice, and wide variety of services - cheapest tanning I've found in Nashville. Definitely prefer this to expensive and unhelpful chains like sun tan city read more

Facility is very clean and Anthony was amazing. Great friendly staff that explains everything thoroughly. Will definitely be back again, can already see the tan working well! read more

My first experience at Riviera Tan Spa was phenomenal- the individual working answered all of my questions and got me set up with the right package to get me ready for my vacation. Unfortunately, each subsequent experience has been an extreme disappointment. My second visit, the employee was 20 minutes late to open and realized she grabbed the wrong set of keys upon leaving her home, which resulted in another 25 minute wait while her husband retrieved the keys from home. I left and did not wait out the 45 min wait time. My third visit, the manager was 15 minutes late but went above and beyond to make up for the two prior experiences by crediting my account and giving me a discount on tanning lotion and free eyewear. My fourth visit, I came into the location at 3:44pm to use their 10min stand up booth. I was told that they don't run the machines after 3:45pm since they don't get paid any overtime, so I wouldn't be able to tan. I appreciate the manager's generosity in crediting my account on my third visit, but am very disappointed with the rollercoaster ride of inconsistency that has been my experience at Riviera Tan Spa. read more

They refuse to honor a gifted Groupon month pass because I had previously used one I had bought for myself. I understand the 1 per customer, but this was gifted to me...how was she suppose to know I had already bought one thru groupon! I recommended several people to Rivera and everyone of them bought a pass! I won't spend another dollar or recommend not one more person!!! Not to mention several of the employees had mentioned going thru groupon to get another pass once mine was up! Anyways....I think if it was gifted they should have honored it! They just lost a good customer who would have continued going and spending money here over something so petty! read more

Awesome find, everyone was so welcoming and since we were from out of town the owner gave us a great deal! The stand up bronzing bed I went in was so nice and honestly I feel like a bronze goddess! Highly recommended! read more

Absolutely LOVE this place! It's my go-to place for tanning when I have a special event coming up. I literally just walked in and they worked me in Most shops you have to make an appointment, with my busy schedule always changing it's hard to do that. Spray tan was great in and out in 15 min! I've used their beds before too and the Saturn stand up is awesome, it gave me some color but I didnt burn. It has the Filtered light And Ultrabronze! I highly recommend Riviera, they are awesome! read more

Was in Nashville on a trip and found this tucked away gem! I have very pale skin and strawberry legs so airbrush tans are super touchy for me and the dots show easily on my legs. they use norvell and this was legit the best airbrush I have ever received. My legs looked great and it lasted 2 weeks which is unheard of. I'm moving to Nashville next month and I'm going to be a regular 100% read more

Always a great spray tan that lasts a few weeks, doesn't flake and peel weird like some do when it is fading. Super friendly staff.

This place was amazing. It was my first time getting a spray tan that wasn't in a Mystic booth but airbrushed by hand. I was a little nervous of what to expect but the employee, Robin, made me feel more than comfortable during the entire process. She did an excellent job and the end result was incredible. The salon was very clean and she was so helpful I will definitely be returning. read more

You will not find a more caring, personable, and knowledgeable tan spa owner than Trey. He has been incredibly accommodating and helpful to me over the years and I have been loyal to Riviera Tan Spa as a result. He has top of the line beds to meet a variety of tanning needs and/or goals on top of offering the most beautiful spray tans in Nashville. Please give Riviera Tan Spa a go if you haven't already. Trey and his staff are simply the best. He will definitely earn your business. :). read more
