meet the
girl
behind
toasted.

Hi beautiful! I’m Kylee, certified tan tech and the heart behind toasted. x
ky. I’m so happy you’re here!

I moved from my home state of Kansas to Colorado in 2015 with my now
husband, Gil. Since then we’ve added our fur baby -Teddy, our daughter -
Nellie, and most recently our baby boy - Bear, to the fam. I love an overly
creamed coffee, a fire pit with a smooth whiskey, brunch with the girls,
and spending time with my family.

After a decade in the corporate hustle, I hit the pause button to follow a
long-time passion of mine - helping women feel better about themselves.

So why start a spray tan business?

As fellow females, we often find ourselves juggling countless roles,
embracing the "go go go" lifestyle while wearing an assortment of hats. It's
my passion to provide women with a self-care and convenient service that
makes them feel confident in their own skin. There’s just something about
seeing other women get excited about how they look that sparks so much
joy for me.

For me, I definitely feel more confident with a tan, and in the past I
admittedly relied WAY too much on the sun to achieve it. Don’t get me
wrong, I love a good beach vacay or feeling the sun’s rays on a beautiful
day. But as I’ve aged, I’ve noticed the sun does a little less ‘kissing’ and a
lot more pre-mature skin aging. Not to mention the serious health risks
associated with extended UV exposure that just aren’t worth it.

I discovered my love for spray tans and self-tanners in college, but quickly
learned the importance of having a custom solution that is applied
properly and delivers a beautiful, natural finish (my hands, feet & elbows
were always the dead giveaway of a botched sunless tan- just ask my
husband).

It’s my pleasure to be apart of women’s beauty routines, and I’d love to be
apart of yours, too. Get toasted, feel confident.

kind words from clients

• Start exfoliating/hydrating
  routine 3-5 days prior to your
  appointment, up until the night
  before. Exfoliate with a mitt,
  glove or brush - scrubs can leave
  a barrier, so it’s best to avoid
  those products prior to the tan.
  Shaving should be done 12-24
  hours before, minimum of 4
  hours. Any waxing, manicures,
  pedicures, brow treatments, etc.,
  should be done 24-48 hours prior
  to the tan. Basically, the spray tan
  should be the last part of your
  beauty routine.

• how should I prepare for my spray
  tan?

• Anything else I should know
  before booking?

• What products should I use leading
  up to my appt?

Products that are paraben,
sulfate, alcohol, mineral oil, &
fragrance free. Opt for all-natural
ingredients. Avoid using
moisturizing body washes like
Dove, Olay, or bar soaps - these
products will leave a film + create
a barrier on your skin.
Clear/transparent body washes or
soaps are best - consider brands
like Cetaphil, Raw Sugar, CeraVe,
Aveeno.

• Avoid anti-aging, retinal products
  2-3 days before your appointment
  as they can cause unevenness.

If you’re tanning for a specific
event, it’s recommended to
schedule your spray tan 2 days
prior! This allows time for your tan
to fully develop and come to the
most natural and beautiful color.

• DHA is FDA approved and there is
  no evidence that it’s harmful.
  However, if you’re pregnant, it’s
  recommended to consult your
  personal physician before tanning.
  

A clean canvas is best! If needed,
take a basic shower using clear
bodywash (no Dove or Olay!) to
remove any sweat or oil build-up
from the day, or any prior-applied
lotions/deodorants/etc.
(Remember, no shaving unless it’s
a minimum of 4 hours prior).

• Arrive to your session without
  applying any lotions, perfumes,
  deodorants, or makeup.

• How do I prep on the day of my
  spray tan?

We will have a quick consultation
before any spraying begins. We
will decide on color depth based
on your desired shade, occasion
and skin type. Our goal is always a
natural tone!

• You will have immediate color from
  the cosmetic bronzer guide. After
  your initial rinse, your true tan will
  continue to develop up to 24
  hours. Look forward to your best
  glow results by day two!

• What do I wear during + after my
  session?

During, you can wear as little or as
much as YOU are comfortable
with. Bathing suit, birthday suit,
bra/underwear - it’s up to you.
Just remember that spray tan
lines are harsh. Disposable
thongs will be offered.

• Wear dark, loose fitting clothes
  after your tan. Loose pants,
  oversized top, loose bra (or no
  bra), open-toe shoes (no
  socks)...Anything that will let your
  skin breathe and your tan set. No
  leggings or jeans!

• For a classic spray, wait at least
  8-10 hours before your initial rinse
  (rapid rinse times will vary and
  will be discussed). During this
  time, avoid excessive sweating,
  getting wet, spilling liquids,
  doggy licks, wearing tight
  clothing, touching your body,
  applying lotion, perfume,
  deodorant, or makeup. Opt for
  loose, baggy clothing during the
  process. No washing dishes,
  giving your kids a bath, etc.
  Basically, just tan and chill. If
  that’s not possible, consider a
  rapid tan.

• I’ve got the glow, now what?

• How do I make my tan last?

Spray tans usually last anywhere
from 5-10 days depending on how
you prep and maintain. Apply
moisturizer to your skin every
morning, especially after
showers, using products that are
paraben, sulfate, fragrance and
mineral oil free (my favorite is
CeraVe). Products with harsh
ingredients will strip your tan.

• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty
  of water. Consider using a tan
  extender starting on day 3-4 if
  necessary. Avoid chlorinated
  pools and tubs.

• Your first rinse should be a quick,
  warm (not hot) water only.
  Absolutely no shaving, body wash,
  or hair wash until your 2nd
  shower, (which should be at least
  12 hours AFTER your first rinse).
  Only use your hands to remove
  the bronzer, with special focus on
  legs, behind arms, etc. Once the
  water is clear it’s time to get out.
