Best spray-tanning salons in Singapore
With Singapore’s year-round tropical climate, you’ve got to make sure that your tanning game is on point – for the party season in particular! But if you don’t have the time for a jaunt in the sun (who does?), we say: fake it until you make it. Check out our list of the best spray tanning salons and you’re good to glow!
Sylvia’s Secrets
First-timers: Sylvia’s Secrets is your perfect induction into the world of spray tanning. The ‘Gimme Brown’ spray tan lets you choose your preferred level of sun-kissed glow (8%, 10% or 12%), so there’s no need to worry about the dreaded ‘Oompa-loompa effect’. If you’re in a time crunch, opt for the express spray tan, which takes a mere 15 minutes to complete and two hours to set.
Sylvia’s Secrets, Bukit Timah and Horsecity. See website for details.
Pink Parlour
Waxing, IPL, mani pedis, and skin whitening: there are plenty of reasons to pop into the swanky Pink Parlour for a beauty fix but their spray tan services are a real winner. Using only organic Nunkeri spray tan formulas, 20 minutes is all you’ll need for bronzed look that’ll last up to ten days.
Pink Parlour, various outlets. See website for details.
Tan @ Home
It doesn’t get any more convenient than this. Tan @ Home is a mobile spray tanning service which will get you looking like a bronzed goddess right in your home, office or any location of your choice – the ultimate solution for busy bees in need of a quick tanning fix. They also do spray tanning parties!
Tan @ Home, p. 9146 5980, e. info@tanathome.com.sg.
Spray Tanner Hannah
We’re very impressed how a botched spray tan experience propelled the eponymous Hannah to start her own bustling one-woman show. Operating out of her Chip Bee Gardens home, this friendly lady is fast, meticulous, and only uses premium Naked Tan products from Australia. She’ll even do house calls if you can rustle up a party of five people.

Another home-based spray tanning business, the aptly named Glow is perfect for those seeking subtle and natural looking results. We heard that this joint is popular with the gents too!
