Sun-Kissed Tanning Minutes From Sheridan, 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.
Sheridan may be one of the smaller cities in the metro area, but its residents have big plans, from weekend rides along the South Platte River to errands at River Point. For color and wellness services that fit right into that routine, Snazzy Tanz is a short drive west on Hampden Avenue. Our salon in Lakewood, Colorado is locally owned and woman-owned, led by owner Beth Shull and backed by more than 30 years of industry experience.
We offer four core service lines. Our spray tanning options include custom airbrush tans, double-dipping for deeper color that lasts, and Rapid Tans that use a fast-acting formula. For UV tanning, choose high-pressure beds, hybrid stand-up beds, stand-up booths, face tanning or tanning packages. Our red light therapy services include Polypro Rejuv treatments, full body red light and the Avant infrared body wrap. And body sculpting brings together Rejuva Fresh Diamond Ice and EMShape for a non-invasive option with no downtime.
Because we are so close, Sheridan clients often treat Snazzy Tanz as their neighborhood salon. Stop in after work, add a red light session on a Saturday, or keep a steady UV routine without fighting cross-town traffic. Our Rejuva Fresh-certified and Smart Tan-certified team will help you pick the right services and explain exactly how to care for your skin between visits. First-timers are always welcome, and we are happy to walk you through every step.
A Riverside Community Right Next Door to Our Salon
Sheridan sits along the South Platte River in Arapahoe County, bordered by Denver and Englewood, and it packs a lot into a compact footprint. River Point at Sheridan, the large shopping center on the west side of Santa Fe Drive between Hampden and Oxford Avenues, draws shoppers from across the south metro. The South Platte River Trail and Bear Creek Trail give cyclists and runners easy access to miles of paved path, and Fort Logan National Cemetery and the surrounding southwest Denver neighborhoods are just down the road. It is a practical, close-knit place where people value convenience.
That convenience extends to your trip to our salon in Lakewood, Colorado. Most Sheridan clients head west on Hampden Avenue, which is also US-285, and then turn north on Wadsworth Boulevard. Others prefer Federal Boulevard or Sheridan Boulevard to connect with Hampden. Either way, it is a short drive, which makes Snazzy Tanz an easy add-on to a lunch break or a Saturday errand run. With walk-ins welcome and same-day appointments often available, you can decide in the morning and be glowing by afternoon.
Tanning Smart Under Strong Colorado Sunshine
Even in the city, Sheridan residents live with the realities of Colorado weather: strong sun at elevation, very low humidity and winters that can leave skin dull and dry. UV rays are more intense here than at sea level, so we encourage clients to treat tanning as a gradual process. Dry air also affects how a spray tan wears. Exfoliate the day before your appointment, avoid oils and heavy lotions beforehand, and moisturize every day afterward to help your color fade evenly.
Our UV tanning plans start with shorter sessions matched to your skin type and build slowly over time, a sensible approach given the altitude. During the colder months, many Sheridan clients switch to custom spray tans so they can keep their glow without any UV exposure. Red light therapy and the Avant infrared body wrap offer a relaxing way to support overall wellness, and clients often report that their skin feels smoother and more refreshed after a consistent series. We discuss expectations openly and keep every recommendation realistic.
Our Services for Sheridan Clients
Color That Keeps Up With Sheridan's Busy Calendar
From school dances to family celebrations, Sheridan clients often book with a date already circled on the calendar. A spray tan one to three days before an event usually gives the best result, while a Rapid Tan is helpful when time is tight. For longer-term goals, we can map out a UV or red light schedule leading up to the big day.
Some of the occasions we help Sheridan clients prepare for include:
- Prom, homecoming and graduation photos
- Weddings, quinceaneras and family reunions
- Summer rides along the South Platte River Trail
- Vacations, cruises and holiday travel
Because we are so close to Sheridan, last-minute plans are rarely a problem. If an invitation arrives on Thursday, a walk-in spray tan that afternoon can still have you ready for Saturday. For milestones you have known about for months, like a wedding or graduation, we like to start the conversation early so we can suggest a gradual UV base or a series of red light visits and choose the shade that will photograph best.
Neighborhood Service Backed by Real Experience
Snazzy Tanz is locally owned and operated, so you work with people who know you by name and remember how you like your color. We are also proudly woman-owned. Owner Beth Shull built this salon around a warm, supportive atmosphere where nobody feels rushed and every question gets a thoughtful answer. For Sheridan neighbors, that personal touch is only a short drive away. We proudly serve Lakewood and surrounding communities, and Sheridan neighbors are among the clients we see most often.
We were honored with community awards for Best Tanning Salon in 2024 and 2025, and we work hard to live up to that recognition. Behind it is more than 30 years of experience in the tanning industry, from equipment and techniques to skin preparation and aftercare. That experience shows in the small details, like matching a shade to your undertone. Our Rejuva Fresh-certified and Smart Tan-certified staff bring that knowledge to every spray tan, UV plan and wellness session. Browse our reviews to hear from clients in their own words.

Frequently Asked Questions
How close is your salon to Sheridan?
Our salon in Lakewood, Colorado is a short drive from Sheridan. Most clients head west on Hampden Avenue, also known as US-285, and then turn onto Wadsworth Boulevard. Because the route is so simple, many Sheridan residents stop in after work or between weekend errands without much planning at all.
Can I walk in without an appointment if I live in Sheridan?
Yes, walk-ins are welcome, and same-day appointments are often available. If you have a specific time in mind or want a particular service like a custom spray tan or an infrared body wrap, booking online ahead of time is the best way to make sure everything is ready for you.
What is the difference between a custom spray tan and a Rapid Tan?
A custom spray tan is applied by our staff and tailored to your skin tone and desired depth, with the option to double-dip for richer color. A Rapid Tan uses an express, fast-acting formula you rinse off later the same day, which makes it a handy choice before last-minute plans.
How should I care for my tan in Colorado's dry climate?
Low humidity can make a tan fade unevenly, so hydration matters. Moisturize daily with a gentle lotion, drink plenty of water, pat dry after showering and avoid harsh scrubs until your color starts to fade. Our team will give you aftercare tips tailored to your skin during your visit.
Do you offer tanning packages for Sheridan clients?
Yes. We offer tanning packages for our UV beds and booths, along with memberships for clients who visit regularly. Packages are a convenient way to plan a gradual series of sessions. Ask our staff which option makes the most sense for your skin type, goals and how often you plan to tan.
Is body sculpting at Snazzy Tanz invasive?
No. Our body sculpting services use Rejuva Fresh Diamond Ice, a controlled cooling treatment for stubborn areas, and EMShape, which uses electromagnetic muscle stimulation designed to tone. Both are non-invasive with no downtime, so Sheridan clients can get right back to their day after a session in Lakewood, Colorado.
