Custom Spray Tans for Lafayette, Colorado Clients
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.
Lafayette has a way of keeping people busy, from Saturday strolls through Old Town to evening laps around Waneka Lake. When you want color that looks natural and skin that feels cared for, Snazzy Tanz is worth the trip south to our salon in Lakewood, Colorado. We are a locally owned, woman-owned studio led by owner Beth Shull, who brings more than 30 years of industry experience to every appointment.
Our menu covers four service lines so you can build a routine that fits your schedule. Choose spray tanning for a custom airbrush glow, a double-dip for deeper color, or a Rapid Tan when you need something fast. Prefer a bed or booth? Our UV tanning options include high-pressure beds, hybrid stand-up units, face tanning and tanning packages. For wellness, red light therapy sessions use our Polypro Rejuv and full body red light equipment, plus the Avant infrared body wrap. And our body sculpting services pair Rejuva Fresh Diamond Ice with EMShape for a non-invasive approach with no downtime.
Lafayette clients tell us they like having everything under one roof. You can book a spray tan before a weekend event, add a red light session on the same visit, and talk through a plan with a team that takes the time to listen. Our Rejuva Fresh-certified and Smart Tan-certified staff will match your shade, explain prep and aftercare, and help you get the most out of every visit.
From Old Town Lafayette to Lakewood Color in One Easy Drive
Lafayette grew up as a coal mining town in eastern Boulder County, and that history still shows in the brick storefronts along Public Road in Old Town. Today the city blends that small-town character with growing neighborhoods, family parks and a strong outdoor culture. Residents walk the Coal Creek Trail, paddle and fish at Waneka Lake Park, and turn out each August for the Lafayette Peach Festival, when Old Town fills with music, food and fresh Western Slope peaches. In December, Holiday on the Plaza brings the community back together at Festival Plaza.
Getting to our salon in Lakewood, Colorado is simple. Most Lafayette drivers pick up US-36 or the Northwest Parkway, then head south on Wadsworth Boulevard straight through Arvada and Wheat Ridge into Lakewood. It is a comfortable trip that many clients combine with errands near Belmar or a hike out by Bear Creek Lake Park. Because we welcome walk-ins and offer same-day appointments, you can plan your visit around the rest of your day instead of the other way around. Book online before you leave home and your tan or session will be ready when you arrive.
Front Range Sun, Dry Air and Skin That Still Glows
Living at roughly a mile above sea level means Lafayette residents get more intense UV exposure than people at the coast, and the dry Colorado air pulls moisture from skin year round. Those two factors shape how we approach every service. For spray tans, we recommend exfoliating a day ahead, skipping heavy lotions before your appointment, and moisturizing daily afterward so your color fades evenly instead of flaking. Dry skin tends to grab color unevenly, so hydration is one of the simplest ways to help your tan last longer.
If you prefer UV tanning, our team builds session plans that start conservatively and progress gradually based on your skin type, because sensible exposure matters at altitude. Many clients also notice that long Front Range winters leave them looking pale by February, which is a great time for a custom spray tan with no UV at all. Red light therapy and the Avant infrared body wrap are designed to support overall wellness and relaxation, and clients often report that their skin feels refreshed after a series of sessions. We always discuss your goals first and keep recommendations realistic.
Our Services for Lafayette Clients
Ready for Peach Festival Weekend and Every Big Day After
Lafayette calendars stay full, and many of our clients plan their color around specific moments. A spray tan applied two or three days before an event gives the color time to settle, while a Rapid Tan works when you are short on time. We also help clients map out a few weeks of UV sessions or red light visits leading up to a bigger occasion.
Here are some of the occasions that bring Lafayette clients to our door:
- Summer weddings and engagement photos around Boulder County
- High school proms, homecoming and graduation pictures
- Sunny afternoons at the Lafayette Peach Festival in Old Town
- Beach vacations, cruises and winter escapes to warmer places
Whatever the occasion, we start by asking about the date, the setting and the look you have in mind. An outdoor festival in August calls for a different shade than an evening reception under soft lights. From there we recommend timing, a shade and simple aftercare, and if you want to add red light therapy or body sculpting to your prep, we will show you how those sessions fit into the weeks ahead.
Award-Winning Care Lafayette Clients Can Count On
Snazzy Tanz is locally owned and operated, which means you deal directly with people who care about your results and remember your preferences from one visit to the next. We are also proudly woman-owned, and owner Beth Shull has built a studio where first-timers and regulars alike feel comfortable asking questions. That personal approach is a big reason clients from Lafayette and across the Front Range keep coming back. We serve Lakewood and the surrounding communities, and we are glad to count so many Boulder County neighbors among our regulars.
Our community has noticed, too. Snazzy Tanz earned community awards for Best Tanning Salon in both 2024 and 2025, recognition we are grateful for and work to earn again every day. Behind those awards is more than 30 years of experience in the tanning industry, covering equipment, techniques and skin care. Combine that with Rejuva Fresh-certified and Smart Tan-certified staff, and you get color and wellness services delivered with real knowledge, not guesswork. Read what clients say about their visits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth driving from Lafayette to Lakewood for a spray tan?
Many Lafayette clients say yes. Our salon in Lakewood, Colorado offers custom airbrush tans, UV beds, red light therapy and body sculpting in one place, so a single trip covers several goals. With walk-ins welcome and same-day appointments often available, the drive fits easily into a weekend or day off.
How far ahead of the Lafayette Peach Festival should I get a spray tan?
We usually suggest booking one to three days before a big outdoor event like the Peach Festival. That gives your color time to develop and settle. If you are short on time, ask about a Rapid Tan, which uses a fast-acting formula you rinse off later the same day.
What route do most Lafayette clients take to your salon?
Most Lafayette drivers take US-36 or the Northwest Parkway, then follow Wadsworth Boulevard south through Arvada and Wheat Ridge into Lakewood. It is a straightforward drive, and many clients pair the visit with shopping at Belmar or time outdoors at Bear Creek Lake Park before heading home.
Can I combine red light therapy with a tanning visit?
Yes. Many clients stack services on one trip, such as a red light session followed by a spray tan or UV session. Our team will recommend the best order based on your goals. Red light therapy is designed to support wellness and relaxation, and clients often report their skin feels refreshed.
Do you help first-time tanners from Lafayette choose a shade?
Absolutely. First-timers are some of our favorite clients. We talk through your skin tone, your event and how dark you want to go, then customize your spray tan to match. Our staff will also walk you through prep and aftercare so your color looks even and natural from day one.
Do you offer memberships for Lafayette clients who visit often?
Yes, we offer memberships for clients who plan to tan or use our wellness services regularly. It is a convenient way to keep a consistent glow without rebooking from scratch each time. Ask our team in Lakewood, Colorado which membership fits your routine and the services you use most.
