I started researching spray tanning solutions and quickly realized how little transparency existed in the industry. Most solution companies don’t test their products at all — and many spray tan businesses can’t even tell you what solution they’re using. For something that goes directly on your skin, that lack of information felt unacceptable.
I believe clients deserve better. They deserve transparency, education, and solutions chosen with intention — not shortcuts. Spray tanning should feel safe, supportive, and empowering. My work is rooted in raising the standard so no one ever has to choose between glowing skin and peace of mind.
I didn’t start spray tanning just because I loved the glow — I started because my skin forced me
to pay attention.
At 30 years old, I was diagnosed with skin cancer. Like many people, I relied on self-tanner and spray tans to feel confident without sun exposure. But over time, something felt wrong. I began experiencing severe skin reactions, including one night when I woke up scratching my legs so
hard they were nearly bleeding. That moment changed everything.

Easiest 5 stars. I have been getting spray tans for YEARS, and Sarah is the best!! She always gets the color right for the specific event. It’s also so nice to have an express and regular option. Highly recommend!

Sarah is one of the most genuinely kind people I’ve ever met. She’s so personable and makes you feel so comfortable while getting a spray tan. I love how knowledgable she is and holy moly, her room is STUNNING. Love the experience, love Sarah, highly recommend!
DANIELLE HILTON
Not gonna lie, getting a spray tan from a pro instead of a machine seems super personal and vulnerable. 100% recommend Sarah at the Golden Standard. Sarah is the best kind of pro—personable, informative and her attention to detail is 10/10!
She has created a great environment and provides custom results. I also love that she’s there to answer any questions. Oh, and she makes it such a comfortable experience—totally not awkward.
