About Us
Meet Melissa.
Founder of YYC Spray Tans
Hi! I’m Melissa
The owner of YYC Spray Tans. I’ve been an esthetician for 15 years and a spray tan artist for the last 10 years. My journey into spray tanning started in an unexpected way. While getting a tan myself, I thought, Why can’t I learn how to do this? And that’s exactly what I did!
Skincare and UV-safe alternatives have always been incredibly important to me. I lost my best friend to melanoma at just 20 years old, and my mom is currently battling melanoma as well. If you know me, you know I avoid direct sun exposure but like everyone else, I still love a beautiful, bronzed glow! That’s why I’m so passionate about providing safe, sunless tanning options that make you look and feel amazing.
Beyond my work, I’m an animal lover and a strong advocate for animal welfare. My fur daughter, Athena, a pitbull I rescued five years ago has my whole heart. I’m also passionate about fitness and even picked up a part-time job at my gym, which I absolutely love!
The best part of my job? Helping my clients feel confident and beautiful. Whether I’m welcoming you into my space or coming to yours, I love getting to know you and seeing all the wonderful places you call home. So, never apologize for wanting to feel amazing I’m here to make sure you do.
“Looking forward to meeting you and giving you the perfect glow!”
