Sol'exotica carries the largest review base of any tanning salon in Toronto on this list at 453, holding a 4.8 average while also being the only name here running actual UV beds instead of spray alone. Two other studios further down this list post a perfect 5.0, just on far fewer reviews.

Short answer: Sol'exotica leads with a 4.8 average across 453 reviews and is the only name here running actual UV tanning beds alongside spray tanning and red light therapy. That Girl's Beauty Studio and Glo2go both hold a perfect 5.0, though on far fewer reviews. All five are appointment-based studios, not walk-in tanning chains.

Our take: It ranks second on a near-perfect average, and the training-academy angle suggests a level of technique most single-location studios don't have.

Glo2go is built around mobile spray tanning, sending artists to a client's home rather than requiring a studio visit, alongside a Liberty Village location and bridal tan packages for wedding parties.

  • A perfect 221 of 223 reviews are five stars
  • Reviewers describe the solution as odor-free with no residue left on sheets
  • Bridal and event packages built specifically for group bookings

Watch: 5 Best Tanning Salons in Toronto (2026)

How we score Toronto’s tanning studios

Every score here is built from live Google data: average rating, how many customers actually left one, how recently people are still reviewing, and how complete each studio’s public profile is (site, phone, hours). Rating gets weighted by review volume, so a perfect score on 220 reviews and a near-perfect score on 450 reviews can land close together. No studio can pay to move its position.

How much does a spray tan or UV tan cost in Toronto? (2026)

Pricing depends heavily on whether you’re booking a single UV session, a custom spray tan, or a package with add-ons like exfoliation or bridal prep, and none of the studios on this list publish a flat rate online. Expect single-session spray tans and short UV sessions to sit at the lower end of typical Toronto spa pricing, with packages and mobile bookings costing more for the added convenience.

Tanning studios across the GTA

These five cluster around downtown Toronto: Isabella Street near Yonge and Bloor, Yonge Street itself, Stewart Street in the King West area, Aitken Place near the Distillery District, and Western Battery Road in Liberty Village, with Glo2go also sending mobile artists across the wider GTA. Searching for a tanning salon near you in central Toronto will likely surface at least two or three of these five.

What to ask before you book a tan

  • Do you use UV beds, spray tanning, or both?
  • What’s included in the price, prep, exfoliation, aftercare products?
  • How long before the color develops and how long does it last?
  • Do you offer mobile or at-home appointments?
  • Is there a patch test for first-timers with sensitive skin?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position. None of the studios on this list are Featured.

How did you choose these five?

We compared Toronto tanning salons and spray tan studios listed on Google Maps, then ranked the ones with the strongest, most recent customer feedback by rating, review volume and profile completeness.

Is UV tanning or spray tanning better?

It depends on what you want. UV tanning builds a longer, deeper tan but carries known skin risks with repeated use; spray tanning gives an immediate result with no UV exposure but fades within a week or two. Only Sol’exotica on this list runs UV beds.

How often is this updated?

We refresh this page periodically using live Google data; this version reflects data verified in July 2026.

The bottom line

If you want the option of real UV beds alongside spray tanning, Sol’exotica is the safe default and has the review base to back it up. For a pure spray tan with zero streaks, MIX Mansion and That Girl’s Beauty Studio are both near-perfect on rating, book whichever fits your neighborhood.
