Natural Spray Tans and Tanning for Arvada, Colorado Neighbors
Spray tans, UV tanning, red light therapy and body sculpting at our locally owned, award-winning salon in Lakewood, Colorado. Walk-ins welcome and same-day appointments available.
If you live in Arvada, getting to Snazzy Tanz is about as simple as it gets: follow Wadsworth Boulevard south and you will reach our locally owned salon in Lakewood, Colorado. Arvada families, teachers, commuters and retirees come to us for a healthy-looking glow, a relaxing wellness session and a team that actually takes time to listen. We have more than 30 years of experience in the industry, and it shows in the details. Many families even make it a routine, with parents booking wellness sessions while teens get ready for school dances.
Our spray tanning services include airbrush tans, fully custom spray tans matched to your skin tone, double-dipping for a deeper layered color and Rapid Tans when your schedule is tight. If you like a traditional tan, our UV tanning options include bed tanning, high-pressure tanning, face tanning, hybrid stand-up UV beds and stand-up booths, along with tanning packages for regular visits.
For wellness, our red light therapy menu features the Polypro Rejuv red light treatment, full body red light therapy and the Avant FIT Bodywrap, a contactless far-infrared wrap many clients use several times a week for a few weeks. We also offer non-invasive body sculpting with Rejuva Fresh Diamond Ice and EMShape, designed to target stubborn areas and help tone muscle with no downtime. Walk in, call us or book online whenever it suits you. Our goal is simple: color and care that feel personal, never rushed.
Olde Town Charm, a Straight Shot Down Wadsworth
Arvada blends a historic downtown with plenty of parks and trails. Olde Town Arvada is the heart of it, with brick storefronts, restaurants and the G Line commuter rail station, and the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities brings in theater, concerts and gallery shows all year. Outdoors, residents spend time at Majestic View Park, along Ralston Creek Trail and out at Standley Lake on the north edge of town. Neighborhoods range from older blocks near Ralston Road to newer subdivisions climbing toward the foothills on the west side. It is a community that values local businesses and friendly faces.
Because Wadsworth Boulevard runs north and south through both Arvada and Lakewood, many of our Arvada clients simply stay on it the whole way and reach us in a short drive. Others prefer Kipling Street or a quick hop on I-70 before heading south. Either way, it is easy to stop in on the way back from work, after school drop-off or before dinner in Olde Town. As a single local studio, we get to know our Arvada clients by name. Many Arvada families have been visiting us together since our early days.
Front Range Sun and Dry Air: A Smarter Tanning Plan
Arvada residents know the Colorado combination well: plenty of bright, sunny days, very little humidity and winters that can leave skin dull and dry. At our elevation, UV intensity is generally stronger than at sea level, so gardening, youth sports and trail time all add up. Dry air also pulls moisture from the skin, which can make a tan fade unevenly if you are not keeping up with hydration. Even a short walk around Majestic View Park on a clear day counts as real sun time.
We help clients plan around that. For spray tans, exfoliate the day before, arrive with clean, product-free skin and moisturize daily afterward so your color wears off evenly. For UV tanning, we suggest a gradual schedule tailored to your skin type, and we always remind clients to wear sunscreen outside. During the long gray stretch of winter, many Arvada clients add red light therapy or Avant infrared wrap sessions to their routine. Clients often report that these sessions feel soothing and help them feel more refreshed, though results differ for everyone.
Our Services for Arvada Clients
Arvada Occasions That Call for a Little Extra Glow
Spring and early summer are especially busy with weddings and graduation photos. Arvada has a strong community calendar, and we see the bookings rise around it. The Arvada Harvest Festival brings crowds to Olde Town each fall, the Arvada Center hosts performances and galas, and local high schools keep prom season busy every spring. Some of the reasons Arvada clients come to see us:
- Weddings and receptions, from backyard parties to formal venues
- Prom, homecoming and senior photos
- Performances and evenings out at the Arvada Center
- Summer vacations and winter escapes to the beach
For most events, book your final spray tan one or two days ahead so the color is fully developed by the big day. If you are trying sunless tanning for the first time, a trial tan a few weeks in advance takes the guesswork out of choosing a shade. Our team is happy to coordinate several appointments for a family or a bridal party. We can also suggest a gradual UV plan or Rapid Tan if your event sneaks up on you. Just tell us the date and we will work backward from there.
Local Ownership and Real Experience You Can Trust
Arvada has always valued local businesses, and so do we. Snazzy Tanz is locally owned and operated, which means we answer to our clients, not a corporate playbook. We are also a proudly woman-owned salon. Owner Beth Shull created a space where first-timers feel at ease, questions are always welcome and every client gets a personal recommendation rather than a one-size-fits-all package. We treat every Arvada client like a neighbor, because in many ways you are, and we take pride in being part of the same north and west metro community.
That approach has earned community recognition, including Best Tanning Salon awards in 2024 and 2025. It is backed by more than 30 years of tanning industry experience and by Rejuva Fresh-certified and Smart Tan-certified staff who know how to match shades, plan safe UV sessions and run our wellness equipment properly. When you visit, you get the benefit of that experience every time. Read client stories from guests who visit us regularly. That includes honest advice when a different service would serve you better.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get to Snazzy Tanz from Arvada?
Our salon is in Lakewood, Colorado, and most Arvada clients simply take Wadsworth Boulevard south for a short, easy drive. Kipling Street is another convenient option. We do not offer mobile service, but walk-ins are welcome and same-day appointments are often available when you are ready to stop in.
Can I get a spray tan before an evening show at the Arvada Center?
Yes, but plan ahead a little. A spray tan needs time to develop, so a visit the day before usually works best. If your schedule is tight, ask about a Rapid Tan, which uses a fast-acting formula so you can rinse sooner and still head out with fresh color.
Is a custom spray tan good for senior photos?
A custom spray tan is a popular choice for senior photos because we match the shade to your natural skin tone for a believable, camera-friendly result. Book one to two days before your session, and consider a trial tan earlier if it will be your first time with sunless tanning.
What is the Avant FIT Bodywrap?
The Avant FIT Bodywrap is a contactless far-infrared wrap used in a relaxing 30-minute session. Clients typically book three to four sessions a week for two to four weeks. Many describe it as a calming part of their wellness routine, and we will walk you through what to expect beforehand.
Do Arvada teens need anything special for prom tanning?
We recommend a spray tan for most prom clients because it gives even color without UV exposure. Book one or two days before prom, exfoliate the day before and skip lotion on the day of the appointment. Our team will help choose a shade that looks natural with any dress or outfit.
Do you offer memberships for regular visits?
Yes, we offer memberships for clients who visit often for tanning or wellness services. They are a convenient way to keep a steady routine. Ask our team in the salon or send the form, and we will explain the current options and help you decide whether a membership makes sense for you.
