Glowfully You

Founded by Kenz, the studio is built around custom spray tans fitted to each client's natural coloring. Every session is customized, with client health and safety given priority, as the studio's alternative to traditional tanning methods. The studio describes itself as a trailblazing spray tan studio in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio known for advanced Brazilian tape tans and body contouring; that is the studio's own description.

Sessions are booked as appointments, and a single tan typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, including a consultation, preparation, application and an aftercare talk. First-time clients may need more time. Clients complete a client form when they first book and once a year, so skin tone and color goals stay current. Before arriving, clients are asked to avoid lotions, oils, perfume, deodorant, makeup and jewelry, except permanent jewelry and small earrings, and to come no more than 10 minutes early. The studio is not set up for children, and extra guests who are not being tanned or buying products need approval beforehand because space is limited.

The core tan is Golden Mojito, which develops quickly and can be done as an express or a gradual tan. Sweat-Proof Sangria is a rapid tan with a formula designed to let perspiration pass through rather than strip the color, and it is described as vegan. Bronzer-free options are available for very sensitive skin. Each spray tan includes a pH-balancing primer, then a finishing spray and drying powder. The studio says the finishing spray can extend tan life beyond the usual 7 to 10 days by 30 to 40 percent.

Add-ons can be combined with any spray tan. Brazilian tape tans are applied by hand along the bikini outline for crisp lines. Face, mini and full body contouring use a darker solution applied with a smaller airbrush to define muscle or bone structure; mini contouring adds shadow rather than enhancing existing definition. Contouring must be included at booking so the session has enough time. Other add-ons include Skin Firming Drops, Tanning Stickers and Luxe Body Oil.

Packages and memberships are offered for regular clients. The five-tan and ten-tan packages come with 10 and 15 percent off per tan, a complimentary upgrade to Sweat-Proof Sangria, and expire 12 months after purchase. Elite and VIP memberships are billed monthly with a three-month minimum and include monthly tans, add-ons and retail discounts; unused membership tans do not roll over. The studio also attends local events and offers pop-up tan stations for events and private parties.

Each tan is customized, with client health and safety prioritized, as a safer alternative to traditional tanning. Spray solutions use DHA and are free of parabens, palm oil, mineral oil and sulfates, and are PETA-approved vegan and cruelty free.
