After years of representing one of the world's leading skincare lines, I walked away with a realization that no cream or serum could ever match: the REAL secret to anti-aging isn't found in a bottle, but in a lifetime of avoiding sun exposure.
In May 2022, I turned that conviction into a mission and opened my own spray tan business. I didn't just want to offer a glow; I wanted to change the experience of getting one. I knew how vulnerable it felt to walk through a busy, high-end salon --face bare and dressed in baggy, unflattering clothes--past rows of women getting their hair and makeup done. I wanted to create a dedicated, private space where my clients could skip the "beauty parade" and feel completely comfortable in their own skin.
