Golden Hour Hair and Tan

Trying my hardest to erase the thought that Fall means you have to go dark! Sometimes it’s just adding a little more richness and softer dimension while still maintaining contrast so everything feels fresh again without changing the whole vibe.

This is probably one of my favorite ways to transition into fall because it still feels soft and easy to maintain without falling flat.

Fall appointments are open if your hair is starting to feel like it needs something 🤎🍁

I’ve been spray tanning for years, and one of the biggest things I’ve learned is that a good spray tan is never just about picking a color and hoping for the best.

Skin tone matters. Undertone matters. Prep matters (I can't shout that loud enough!) Application matters. Rinse time matters. And somehow, hands and feet always want to be the drama.

I customize every tan because two people can ask for the exact same result and need completely different formulas to get there.

My goal is never to make you look "spray tanned". I want you to look like yourself, just more glowy, even, and bronzed in a way that actually makes sense for your skin. There’s a lot that goes into getting that natural result, and I love the little details of it.

If you’ve ever wondered what actually makes one spray tan different from another, swipe through. 🤎

Meanwhile Oregon is fully committing to the September vibes today… Consider this your reminder that summer skin does not have to leave when summer does. 🙌

This is why I love a custom spray tan. You can get such a rich, noticeable color while still keeping it natural and flattering to your skin tone.
Every tan I do is customized based on your skin, how deep you want to go, and what you have coming up. Whether you want just a little glow or you want to be TAN tan, we can make it happen 🙌

Can you believe she came into the salon blonde?! 😱

When you're transitioning from a bright color back to your natural brunette, adding depth and dimension is what keeps the color looking soft, natural, and lived in. By strategically placing lowlights and leaving lighter ribbons throughout, your hair has movement instead of looking flat or overly dark.

The best part? A dimensional brunette is often much lower maintenance than staying platinum, while still giving you brightness exactly where you want it.

✨ NEW! ✨

I've officially added AYU Clear to my spray tan lineup, and I am SO excited about this one.

If you've ever worried about bronzer transferring onto your clothes, sheets, or a white outfit after your appointment, this is for you.

AYU Clear is a bronzer-free solution, which means no guide color, no transfer, and no stained clothing, while still developing into a beautiful, rich, natural-looking tan. It develops over the next several hours just like a traditional spray tan, but without the cosmetic bronzer sitting on your skin. ✨

What I love even more is that it's packed with skincare ingredients too. It contains hyaluronic acid, squalane, jojoba oil, grape seed oil, panthenol (vitamin B5), and antioxidant-rich green tea and white tea extracts to help keep skin hydrated so your tan develops evenly and fades beautifully. It's also alcohol-free, making it a great option for dry, mature, or sensitive skin.

Perfect for:
🤍 Brides wearing white
🤍 Busy schedules with no transfer worries
🤍 Anyone who loves a clean, natural-looking glow
🤍 Clients who want all the color with less cosmetic color

If you've been waiting for a spray tan that's as clean as it is gorgeous, I think you're going to love this one. ☀️

Natural redheads are always SO. MUCH. FUN.

We added a few soft highlights for some extra brightness and gave her natural red a little boost to make it feel richer and more vibrant. Nothing drastic, just enough to make everything pop a little more for summer ☀️
