About

The salon describes itself as a custom spray tan provider in Grand Rapids and says it has worked with many brides and grooms over the years, with wedding tans as its specialty. The website says spray tans are applied by certified and licensed stylists. Tans are mixed to each client's skin tone and the color they want, from a light glow to a deeper tan.

Beyond tanning, the salon offers ear piercing, permanent jewelry, teeth whitening, lash and brow services, and a monthly membership. Lash and brow services include lash lifts and tints, brow lamination, and brow tinting and waxing, alone or combined. Teeth whitening uses the SunnaSmile LED-activated system.

Piercings are done with a single-use sterile hollow needle rather than a gun, and tools and jewelry are sterilized in a medical-grade autoclave before use. Initial piercings use implant-grade titanium jewelry, and clients cannot bring their own jewelry for that first piercing. Minors have specific rules, including photo ID and a birth certificate for those under 18, and children under 5 are not pierced.

Booking details matter here. Appointments need to be cancelled or moved at least 12 hours ahead, and groups of 10 or more are asked to call to book. Students under 25 with a valid student ID get $5 off any tan. Spray tans are not applied to sunburned skin. Permanent jewelry is welded in the salon during all open hours, and each person needs their own appointment, though friends can book together.

Tans are mixed to each client's skin tone and goal, and piercings are done with single-use sterile hollow needles rather than a piercing gun.
