Our Story
Rach and Jen have been friends for over 15 years and always dreamed of doing business together.
On a regular catch up, while chilling on the couch, sipping peppermint tea, Jen shared her idea of importing the automatic spray tan booth to New Zealand for us, and our locals to experience. Rach was keen, and together they hatched a business plan and as early as the next day, set the wheels in motion.
No messing around with these two go-getters!
Jenny, with over 25 years in the beauty, tanning and wedding industry was always very uncomfortable with clients using sunbeds or baking in the sun to get a tan. Her interest in sunless tanning grew as she treated clients with aging, pigmented and sun damaged skin. The statistics and rates of skin cancer in NZ scare the $#??!! out of her.
Rach comes from an education and teaching background. She has always had an interest in beauty and health, but to be honest it was the identification and treatment required for early signs of pigmentation and sun damage that scared the $#??!! out of her. It was very obvious to Rach that providing a service for sunless tanning had huge potential as people saw the health and financial benefits in taking greater care of their skin.
She was excited about entering the self tanning industry and helping people look and feel their best.
Together Rach and Jen have created a fun, relaxed environment where you can pop in and have a tan without having to stand nude and be sprayed by an actual person. It is just you, alone in the booth and it only takes 90 seconds!
Rach is there most days recommending colours and levels to suit your skin type. Rest assured, we will make sure you know what to do before you press the green button! Before you know it, you will be leaving with a gorgeous, organic glow!
A final word from Jen & Rach themselves…
“We would like to thank all our clients for your support since we opened up the business … and we graciously accept the thanks back from your skin!”
Yours in sunless beauty,
