Pure Glow was created out of a need for a truly safe and conscientious spray tan experience. Before starting Pure Glow, I dreamed of a studio that led with knowledge, transparency and didn't shy away from questions about ingredients.
I longed to change the never ending list of things I didn't love about conventional spray tans- the questionable scent, unnatural tones, its drying nature, risky staining and transfer onto clothing, its typical 3-day life span, inconsistency of results.I wanted to create a spray tan experience that was easy, foolproof and fun, but that also prioritized and protected our largest and most important organ-the skin.

Services
Our award-winning sunless tan is applied by hand to create a believable looking glow in minutes, without harmful toxins or damaging UV rays. Personalized and designed to mimic the way your skin naturally reacts to the sun, each service will take into account your unique skin tone, desired look and personal preferences.
This is the only spray tan I've ever had that looks completely natural, actually washes out of my sheets, lasts longer than a week, and the scent (usually my biggest complaint) is light and pleasant. First time getting a spray tan and they made it so easy and comfortable. I appreciated how they walked my friend and I through the entire process, from choosing the depth of our tan to the after care.

Pure Glow has a horrible infrared sauna experiment as well as unhelpful + stubborn managers. Keep your sanity and avoid patronizing Pure Glow at all costs!
When I arrived for my sauna experience, the front desk staff member told me, "The sauna is 115 right now and heating up right now to its max temp of 160." This statement in and of itself was a red flag as every other infrared sauna I have visited have had the boxes hot at 160 upon my arrival. I figured it would heat up quickly but instead after 14 minutes the temperature had only increased to 126. I should also note that while the

Technicians are very nice here but every time I come I have streaks, marks, and the tan is never even in certain areas (neck, joints, parts that crease)
They also tell you to use lotion after (with no alcohol or oils) and sell one, but it contains alcohol (2 kinds)
Wouldn't recommend or come here again
I've tried them a few times and always same
Not worth the trip to back bay for me

I have gotten many spray tans for the past year here and overall I have been very happy. However, when I went last week for another, I had a terrible application. She asked me multiple times while we were getting ready to spray what color I wanted because she kept forgetting. We had to go over missed areas multiple times and had to keep blending different areas. I was open to seeing how it looked after I showered in the morning. However when it was washed off the color was very different then my past tans and I was patching and not blending in multiple places. I reached out to see if there was

I've now been to Pure Glow on Newbury St twice and have had incredible experiences both times! Both times, the person at the front desk took the time to walk me through the various spray tanning options and helped me pick the best one! They also offer complimentary eye covers, hair nets, etc... I've seen both Lauren and Paula and would highly recommend both! Paula recently did my spray tan for my baby shower, and it was absolute perfection! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and they've always seen me right away! I'm usually in and out in less than 20-30 minutes, which I love!! Will definitely

Loved the whole experience, everyone was very knowledgable and made it easy to pick out which "look" I wanted! Loving how this tan is developing on my skin - looks so natural and beachy, and getting tons of compliments on how good it looks. Will def be coming back here!

Pure Glow is the only place I will ever go for a spray tan. The term spray tan doesn’t do Pure Glow justice!!! Lauren has created a high quality organic ingredients tan, a fun safe experience and she definitely has an outstanding team. My PG tan is always excellent. I trust them now more than ever !

I cannot say enough good things about Pure Glow. I've been getting sprayed there for about 2 years now and every encounter I've had has been nothing but pleasant. The staff is super friendly and very professional. If you've never been sprayed before they'll walk you through ever step of the process as well as help you with the color selection. I've also found the quality of the spray tan to be amazing. Consistent and evenly sprayed tan from head to toe. I always get complements about my tan, specifically people telling me how natural it looks, which really says something given I'm naturally pale

I never thought I'd enjoy a spray tan but I was pleasantly surprised with my look. I tend to go lighter on the tan so I started slow and worked my way up but I loved the feel and loook, it lasted almost 2 weeks and I SMELLED AMAZING! Love this place will definitely go back again.

As a man, and a man who has never really considered getting a tan before, I didn't know what to expect. But Lauren and her team at PG made the experience a BLAST, and one where I felt comfortable during and confident after. Guys - it's kind of like going to get your haircut but the conversation is more lively and you have less clothes on. Can't wait to come back before a trip to Hawaii!

I have been getting spray tanning off and on for years, from LA, NYC and now Boston. Pure Glow is by far the absolute BEST! From the salon set up, the atmosphere, the cleanliness and overall experience is truly one of a kind. Not to mention the entire team is extremely knowledgeable, down to the ingredients used. The technique used during the spray tan is unlike any of I have received. I have been a regular at Pure Glow and always will be.

I've been a Pure Glow client for 6 years and won't get a tan anywhere else! As PG has grown as a business, their product has remained consistently flawless. I've literally never had a bad experience there- the tans always look great and the girls who work there are the best. Everyone is so friendly, welcoming and talented. Love this place!

If I could give 6 stars I would! I started getting tanned at Pure Glow in June 2019, mainly for events (weddings, trips, etc). Michaela, Spenser & Victoria have all sprayed me - EVERY single tan I've had from each of them has been amazing, and Victoria sprayed me for my wedding and I cannot say enough great things! She took extra care to even out my leftover summer tan lines for my dress and gave me the perfect glow for my big day. I got tons of compliments on how healthy and glowing I looked, and I happily admitted to everyone that it was Pure Glow!
Beyond that, every time I go to

Cheers to the team that saved my face!
I've been coming to pure glow for a few years (since femme fatale closed). Their color is great and usually lasts a solid week, a bit more if you're super careful (deep exfoliation beforehand, keep your skin moisturized, no oil-based products). My visits have generally been a quick in and out, so I didn't fully appreciate the free touch ups policy -- until last week when I did the worst thing one could possibly do after a spray tan and CRIED less than an hour later. I then googled pictures of "cry after spray tan" and had a minor

I absolutely love Pure Glow! I have had numerous spray tans over the past few years now, and have always had an amazing experience. Upon arrival the staff is incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. Each of my spray tans have lasted at least 1 week. Typically for me my color remains practically 100% for 3-4 days. Then the next few days the color starts to fade, as normal spray tans do. I highly recommend Pure Glow, you won't be disappointed!

The staff is very patient and helpful. Their salon is in a great location. However, I have to say for the price of the tan, the results aren't that great. Problem area: the neck. The last 3 out of 4 times I have gone, the tan starts coming off in big spots within 24 hours on your neck. The rest of your body looks great, but you get quarter-sized white break through areas on your neck very quickly. I've gone to other spray tan salons before and haven't had this happen... and I don't have any lotion/soap on my neck before the spray tan. I just got my spray tan last night and woke

Pure Glow has a convenient location on Newbury Street, is updated, and clean. The team is accommodating to make their schedule meet their clients.
Most importantly, my sunless specialist, Victoria, took the time to ask me questions to determine the right look for me, was knowledgeable and informative throughout the process, and gave a flawless organic spray tan that evened out my skin and created a very natural color.
I felt great knowing that the ingredients were organic--and am thrilled with my safe and natural-looking tan! I'll be a repeat customer for sure.

I've been to Pure Glow many times. They are very customer service oriented and give the most realistic airbrush tan. I can't begin to tell you how many compliments I get when I am tan from Pure Glow. The tan lasts 7-10 days. You can go in a pool or the ocean and it doesn't affect the tan.
I wouldn't go anywhere else. Hands-down they are the best.
