Glowing Spray Tans and Tanning in Lakewood, Colorado
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.
Snazzy Tanz is the hometown tanning and wellness salon for Lakewood, Colorado. Our salon sits just off Wadsworth Boulevard in south Lakewood, so neighbors from Green Mountain, Bear Creek and the Belmar area can stop in after work, between errands or on the way home from a hike. Since we opened our doors in October 2022, our goal has stayed the same: help every client leave feeling more confident than when they walked in. We know many of our clients by name, and we love seeing familiar faces from around the neighborhood.
Our spray tanning menu covers airbrush and custom spray tans, double-dipping for deeper and longer-lasting color, and Rapid Tans for days when your schedule is packed. If you prefer a traditional glow, our UV tanning options include classic beds, face tanning, high-pressure beds, hybrid stand-up beds and stand-up booths, along with tanning packages that make it simple to keep your color consistent all year.
Tanning is only part of what we do. Our red light therapy wellness sessions use the Polypro Rejuv and the Avant infrared body wrap, and our body sculpting services pair Rejuva Fresh Diamond Ice with EMShape. These non-invasive treatments are designed to support how you look and feel, with no downtime, so you can get right back to your day. Whatever brings you in, our team listens first, recommends a plan that fits your goals and keeps every visit relaxed and easy.
A Lakewood Salon Built Around Your Neighborhood
Lakewood stretches from the Denver city line to the foothills, and that range shapes daily life here. Residents walk the shops and restaurants at Belmar, climb the trails of William F. Hayden Park on Green Mountain, paddle and fish at Bear Creek Lake Park and catch shows at the Lakewood Cultural Center. Families gather at Kendrick Lake Park in summer and at the Lakewood Heritage Center for community events through the year. It is an active, outdoorsy city that still keeps a friendly, small-town feel in its neighborhoods.
Getting to Snazzy Tanz is easy from almost anywhere in town. Clients from the Belmar and Union Boulevard areas usually head south on Wadsworth Boulevard, while neighbors near Green Mountain and Bear Creek can cut across on Jewell Avenue or Hampden Avenue. Riders on the W Line can pair a train trip with a short drive or rideshare. Because we are a Lakewood business through and through, many of our clients are people we also see at the grocery store, the park and the school pickup line. That local connection is something we never take for granted, and it keeps us focused on doing right by every person who visits.
Tanning Smarter Under Lakewood's High-Altitude Sun
Lakewood sits more than a mile above sea level, and UV exposure tends to be stronger at higher elevations. Add our dry Front Range air and long stretches of sunshine, and skin can feel tight or flaky faster than it would in a humid climate. Winter brings the opposite challenge, when shorter days leave many residents looking pale by January. We take all of this into account when we recommend a spray tan shade or build a UV session plan, starting with shorter sessions and adjusting gradually so your color develops at a comfortable pace.
Hydration matters for any tan in Colorado. We usually suggest gentle exfoliation the day before a spray tan, a fragrance-free moisturizer once your color has set and plenty of water, since dry skin can fade a tan unevenly. Many clients also add red light or infrared sessions during the colder months. These treatments are designed to support relaxation and overall skin wellness, and clients often report that the warm, quiet sessions are a welcome break from a Colorado winter. We are always happy to talk through what may suit your skin.
Our Services for Lakewood Clients
Glowing for Every Lakewood Milestone
Lakewood calendars fill up quickly, and a lot of those plans call for photos. We help clients prepare for big moments with a tan timed to look its best on the day, plus wellness sessions that help them feel rested beforehand. Lakewood residents have a little bit of everything on their schedules, from school dances to foothill weddings to fall festivals, and each one deserves a glow that looks natural rather than overdone. Here are a few of the occasions we help with most often:
- Homecoming and prom at Green Mountain High School and Bear Creek High School
- Weddings, engagement shoots and showers across the Denver foothills
- Fall gatherings like Cider Days at the Lakewood Heritage Center
- Spring breaks, beach vacations and summer pool days
For events, we recommend booking your spray tan a day or two ahead so it can settle and look natural. If you are building a base with UV tanning, start a few weeks out and let us map out a gradual plan. Our team can also suggest how to protect your color afterward, so it still looks fresh when the weekend wraps up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Snazzy Tanz a locally owned salon in Lakewood?
Yes. Snazzy Tanz is locally owned and operated by Beth Shull, and we are proudly woman-owned. Our salon in Lakewood, Colorado has served the community since October 2022, and our owner brings more than 30 years of industry experience to every spray tan, UV session and wellness treatment.
Can I walk in for a spray tan in Lakewood without an appointment?
Walk-ins are welcome, and same-day appointments are often available. Booking ahead online is the best way to lock in a specific time, especially before prom season, holidays or summer weekends when Lakewood clients tend to fill the schedule quickly. Either way, our team will help you choose the right shade.
How should I prepare for a spray tan in Lakewood's dry climate?
Exfoliate gently the day before, shave a day ahead and skip heavy lotions, deodorant and makeup on the day of your visit. Wear loose, dark clothing. Afterward, keep skin moisturized and drink plenty of water, since the dry Front Range air can cause a tan to fade unevenly.
Do you offer red light therapy for Lakewood residents?
Yes. We offer Polypro Rejuv red light treatment, full body red light therapy and the Avant infrared body wrap. These medical-grade wellness sessions are designed to support relaxation and skin wellness, and many Lakewood clients add them to their routine during the colder months. Results vary from person to person.
Is body sculpting at Snazzy Tanz non-invasive?
Yes. Our body sculpting services use Rejuva Fresh Diamond Ice, which uses controlled cooling to target stubborn areas, and EMShape, which uses electromagnetic muscle stimulation designed to help tone. Both are non-invasive with no downtime, so Lakewood clients can head straight back to work or the trails afterward.
Do you have tanning memberships for regular clients?
Yes. We offer memberships for clients who tan or visit for wellness sessions regularly. A membership makes it easy to keep your color consistent through Lakewood's long winters. Stop by our salon in Lakewood, Colorado or send us a message, and we will explain the current options.
