As a professional with a demanding schedule, I don't have time for mistakes. deSoleil is the only studio in Santa Cruz that delivers a consistent, 'rested' look every single time. It doesn't look like a tan; it looks like I actually slept 8 hours and spent a weekend in the sun. The privacy of the studio is the ultimate luxury.

I’m 62 and was very hesitant about spray tanning. Most places feel like they are for teenagers. At deSoleil, the experience was entirely different. The formula was so hydrating and didn't settle into my skin—it actually blurred my imperfections. I felt radiant and, more importantly, I felt like myself. Truly the best for aging skin.

I booked deSoleil for my wedding at the Dream Inn. I was wearing a pure white silk gown and was incredibly nervous about transfer. The results were flawless—photo-ready, natural, and didn't budge. 18 years of experience really shows in the precision of the application. I felt like a masterpiece.

The 'Santa Cruz Glow' is real. I travel frequently for work and need a tan that fades gracefully and looks believable in every climate. The custom blending here is world-class. It’s the first time I’ve had a tan that people didn't realize was a tan—they just thought I looked incredibly healthy. Perfect for destination trips.

Stepping into deSoleil is my monthly reset. It’s an unhurried, intentional ritual in a private setting that feels worlds away from the 'turn-and-burn' salons. The confidence I feel walking out is worth every penny. You aren't just paying for a tan; you’re paying for 18 years of mastery and a moment of peace.

As someone with sensitive skin, I'm very picky about products. deSoleil's vegan formulas are the only ones that don't irritate my skin. 18 years of choosing the right ingredients makes a huge difference. I feel good about what I'm putting on my body and the results are always naturally stunning.

Living in Santa Cruz, I want to look like I’m always at the beach without the sun damage. This is the only place that gets that specific coastal glow right—it's refined, never orange, and perfectly captures our local light. It's that effortless, sun-kissed look I’ve always wanted.

You can't fake 18 years of experience. The way she handles difficult areas like hands, feet, and ankles is pure artistry. No streaks, no blotches, just a flawless finish that looks like my natural skin. I’ve tried many places, but the attention to detail here is on a different level.

The Rapid Glow is a lifesaver for my busy schedule. I can pop in during my lunch break and be ready for a gala by evening. The precision and professionalism make it the most efficient beauty treatment in my routine. High quality, fast, and totally reliable.

We brought the whole bridal party here for our pre-wedding ritual. Everyone looked stunning and the color was perfectly cohesive for photos. The calm, private environment was exactly what we needed before the wedding chaos. It was such a bonding and luxurious experience for all of us.

So glad deSoleil is back! I've been waiting for the reopening because no one else in town compares to this level of expertise. After 18 years, she truly is the only person I trust with my skin. The new studio is beautiful and the results are as flawless as ever.

It’s not just a tan; it’s my 20 minutes of peace. The studio is beautiful, quiet, and the ritual is completely unhurried. The result is always a luminous, confident glow that lasts for over a week. I highly recommend deSoleil for anyone who values quality and a calm experience.
