Tans By Steph

It’s a special juncture when healing meets aesthetics, and it’s not everyday that you can say they align with each other. I’ve learned throughout a decade of being in the aesthetics industry, that all practices are not created equal: it takes special talent and care to reach a place where the two come together. So when they do, it is cause for immediate celebration! Not for one component, but for many, as there is no true external satisfaction unless your inner world is also tended to. Massage therapy has numerous benefits, and recently I learned there are perks beyond relaxation. In fact, tension and inflammation can linger in the body where you least expect it.

The healing hands of have shown me just how powerful face sculpting is, and how self care can arrive at new territory. Experience the results for yourself, using code STEPH15 when you book this incredible service.

If there’s one product I’ll shout from the rooftops about, it’s this one. Glow is the ultimate multitasker this summer ☀️

Key benefits include:

•Extends your spray tan or self tan
•No fake tan smell
•Realistic, natural looking glow
•Ideal for all skin tones

Also worth mentioning, it’s a real game changer if you plan on spending time in the water as the weather heats up! I use it every time I’m on vacation to maintain flawless sunless results (also smells like vacation with notes of mandarin, lemon myrtle + orange blossom).

Available at all mobile appointments, or local delivery upon request in the Portland metro area.

One of the most common questions I get from clients, is when should I schedule my spray tan?
Here’s what I suggest as a general rule:

•For professional photoshoots, or any event where you’ll be on camera, in print, or photographed (insert wedding day glow here too) two days prior to your event or shoot is ideal.

•For the jet setter, I typically suggest the day before traveling for your glow up. Keep in mind, chlorinated water or heavy sweating should be avoided for the first 24 hours after application for best results.

•Want to have your glow and a good time too? Grab a tan extender during your next appointment. It helps keep you glowing, even, and vibrant all while you swim, sweat, and enjoy all the places life takes you. This is your insurance policy and the ultimate glow giver.

Women, when well loved, have an uncanny ability to multiply that energy. And when you have an opportunity to work with women who have been cultivating that space with years of friendship, growth, and care, it is LITERALLY tangible.

I walked into Melina’s beautiful NW abode on one of the hottest days this past summer. While the heat wave proved a tricky nemesis to our best laid glow up plans, it didn’t stand a chance against the optimism and love present. I could feel the energy when I entered the room. The joy and support between these women was deeply inspiring. And while they were together to celebrate nuptials, there was another celebration unfolding: A bond amongst women, welcoming in a new phase of their beloved friends evolution. It is such a joy to witness this for a living; love multiplied.
