THE OWNER + FOUNDER
Hi, I’m Leah, your spray tan fairy godmother.
One of the biggest pleasures of opening a sunless tanning business was giving people an alternative to the sun and tanning beds. I, myself tanned in a bed at the young age of 14 through my mid twenties. It hit me one day that I'm not 14 anymore and my skin isn't either. Our skin is our largest organ and we need to protect it. My greatest joy is seeing others smile and feeling better about themselves.
The solutions and products used at Bronze515 are handcrafted with the highest quality ingredients. They are gluten free, paraben free, and vegan. All products are made within the USA. At Bronze515 you will get the best experience possible. This is my promise.
I’ve been trained by leading experts in the airbrush tanning industry. I attended training in West Hollywood, California with Jenni Blafer, Owner of Sunkissed by Jenni. Jenni is a celebrity airbrush tanning artist, with an extensive A-list Clientele. I'm a perfectionist, educator, and have a passion for the industry. My staff have been trained by me, and have received countless continuing education on the art of airbrush tanning. If you like puppies, halloween, and cheesecake we probably will be best friends!
We do have one big rule here…
No body shaming. No putting yourself down because of your wrinkles, skin folds, saggy boobs, dirty hair, unshaved legs, pits, and lady bits. No shaming yourself for your stretch marks from having babies or not having babies, for weight loss or weight gain. We don't care about any of it! We do care though about your tan and the experience you get from us.
We get it. Life is rough.That's why we are here. Our job is to not judge you, but to tan you. We look at bodies all day long. Consider us body artists. We aren't staring at your body but we are looking at how the solution hits your body. We are creating a beautiful masterpiece to give you that confidence you need to glow. It's not just a tan, it's an experience at Bronze515 and while we understand you may be nervous, don't be!
KIND WORDS.
