Spray tans and manual tanning using quality solutions matched to your skin tone. You get a natural-looking colour without UV exposure, and we can go from a light glow to a deep bronze depending on what you want.
Book Your Tanning Treatment
You get the colour without the sun exposure. No risk of burning, no accelerated skin ageing, and no time spent lying in the sun or on a sunbed.
We match the solution to your skin tone so you end up with a warm, natural colour rather than anything orange or patchy.
A full body spray tan takes about 30 minutes. You walk in pale and walk out with colour developing. It is one of the fastest ways to change how you look.
We have a range of solutions from light to dark. You tell us what you are after and we will mix or select accordingly.
We will talk through what shade you are after and pick a solution that suits your skin tone. For spray tans, you stand while we apply the solution with a spray gun. It feels like a cool, fine mist and dries quickly. For the manual option, the solution is applied by hand, which gives more control over coverage and tends to feel more like a pampering treatment. The colour shows up straight away as a guide colour, but the real tan develops over the next four to eight hours. You will leave with aftercare instructions so it develops evenly and lasts as long as possible. Most tans last seven to ten days with proper care.
A tan before a wedding, holiday, or night out makes a noticeable difference to how you look in photos and how clothes sit on you.
We can reach the awkward spots that self-tan misses, like the middle of your back, and get a more even finish than you would at home.
A well-applied spray tan fades evenly over the course of a week or so, rather than going patchy the way some self-tanning products do.
You do not have to wait for summer. A spray tan in the middle of winter can take the edge off pale skin whenever you want it.

After 20 years, we've made thousands of friends. Here's what a few of them have to say about their time with us.
"My first visit and not my last. Salon was lovely and welcoming and clean and calm. Lauren was friendly and calm and waxed me quickly (because I hate it ha) and we had good chats inbetween: glad I have found a local beauty spa within walking distance of me, takes so much hassle out of trying to find one in London where I work and also one in Chelmsford town centre. Many thanks and see you soon! "

"I don’t have my nails done often and Georgia is very easy to get on with so I really enjoyed my visit to Acacia. I was undecided on type of nail varnish and colour choice and Georgia suggested trying some options on my nails before making my decision- which worked perfect – thank you Georgia. Everything was explained perfectly and I thought Georgia did a great job. "
