For all our 2023 brides looking for a natural glow for your wedding day, PLEASE call my friend Georgia! I have personally used her services and she is the only one I would trust to give me a spray tan!

What to expect from Glow by Georgia this upcoming year!

🏻 Only the best ingredients available! Last year I tried sooo many new solutions and finally found ✨ the one ✨ It’s vegan, has vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, and so many other skin loving ingredients!

🏼 We are constantly searching for new ways to deliver the most flawless tan result’s possible! We take your trust in us seriously and continue to master the craft of airbrush tanning through education, lots product testing and honest client feedback.

🏼 Glow by Georgia products! We have been working hard sourcing the most magical products for the official Glow by Georgia product line!! I want to leave some items as a surprise, but you can expect to see a spray tan safe Bodywash (smells like a tropical island in your shower 😍), two different spray tan safe lotions, and moreeee 🤪

🏾 The most convenience ever! Glow by Georgia offers mobile tan appointments, meaning we bring the bronze to the comfort of your own home! We service Vancouver, Portland, and surrounding areas. An appointment takes about 30 minutes. All that’s needed is an uncarpeted area and access to a power outlet. Leave the rest up to us. ✨ No more running braless to your car in the rain & ruining your fresh tan after visiting the salon!

🏿 Since we’re on the subject of convenience, starting Jan 1st the Original Glow (hour 8 hours after appointment) option and the Rapid Glow (shower 1-4 hours after appointment) are now the exact same price. Both options will be available at your appointment and you can pick which is most convenient for your schedule!
