The studio was opened as a storefront by owner and spray tan artist Amy Taylor, who had offered spray tans from her home for six years while working full-time in the beauty industry. She launched it to provide a private studio centered on comfort and connection.

A visit begins with a short appointment of about 20 minutes. Each tan is applied by hand with an airbrush rather than in an automated booth, and the color is custom-blended for the client's skin tone. Tans are done in private, well-ventilated rooms, with natural lighting used for color matching. Each service includes a pH-balancing prep spray, an anti-aging hydration mist with botanicals and peptides, contouring on the hands, feet and elbows, and setting powder. The tan develops over 2 to 12 hours depending on the service, and clients are asked to avoid water, sweating and handwashing during that time. Clients are asked to arrive with clean, bare skin and to leave jewelry at home.

Bridal clients can book a trial run with tone matching, and the studio recommends a trial about four weeks before the wedding. The studio coordinates bridal sessions around each client's schedule and works with photographers and makeup artists to plan the finish. Groups of five or more receive bridal or party rates. Bridal party reservations are made through a form on the website, and the studio confirms by contacting the client. Services also include bachelorette parties, pre-wedding gatherings and group nights out.

Several independent professionals share the studio. Yoana provides brow and lash services under the name Beauty_by Yoana, and Kyley Mucha offers microblading and permanent makeup under FleeKy Permanent Makeup. Gift cards are sold through the website in fixed amounts or custom amounts.

The studio is open Tuesday through Saturday by appointment only. Hours are 10 AM to 7 PM on Tuesday and Wednesday, 11 AM to 8 PM on Thursday, 11 AM to 5 PM on Friday, and 10 AM to 5 PM on Saturday. Street parking is available in front, with a pay station at the HENRY Building entrance that is free after 6 PM Monday through Saturday. More parking is available in stalls 11 to 40 of the HENRY Building's upper garage.

Spray tans are hand-applied and custom-blended with a goal of a natural result rather than an orange one. The studio says its formulas are dermatologist-tested and cruelty-free.

A cozy, chic studio with private tan rooms and a lounge area that offers refreshments.
