The philosophy
A tan done wrong is invisible. A tan done right changes the way you carry yourself into a room — and that shift is everything. I don't show up with a gun and a timer. I show up having already thought about your dress, your photographer, the season, the light at your venue, and the version of yourself you want the camera to find. Every formula is mixed for you, that day, for that moment. Because confidence isn't something you put on after — it's something you engineer before.
About me
Off the clock, I'm a creature of curiosity. Born in Mercedes, Uruguay — so yes, I came into this world already bilingual, already straddling cultures, already paying attention to the way different countries carry themselves. That hasn't stopped. I watch Bravo and then flip to world news. I'll spend a Sunday reading architecture journals and end the night on a historical podcast. My husband is Argentinian — we argue about fútbol, agree on good wine, and travel specifically to eat and absorb. Interiors obsess me. Fashion cycles interest me. The way a film's color grade shifts a mood, the way a runway look translates three seasons later into a bride's gown — I notice all of it. I have a stubborn English bulldog, a ridiculous Russian wolfhound, strong opinions on soup, and a genuine belief that a warm cup of tea solves most things. I'd love to share one with you.
I started as a whitening technician in 2012, went independent in 2014, and built this while finishing my degree at Georgia State. What began as a service became a craft — and the craft became a career I'd design the same way twice. Spray tanning found me and I found my eye for it: the undertones, the light, the way a single session can pull someone back into their body on a day they needed it most. That's not a small thing. Six years, two magazines, a few runways, and a lot of laughs later — I still feel it every appointment.
This October, I begin my Master's in Marketing and Sales at Rome Business School. Not a pivot — an expansion. The same obsession with doing this at the highest level, now with an international infrastructure to match. I don't believe in ceilings, I believe in the next season. There is always something sharper to learn, a better technique, a more precise read of the skin in front of me. That restlessness is what got me here. It's also what's taking me further.
Studio Interior
The studio was designed by my husband's company, EN Bath and Home — and it was never meant to feel like a tanning room. It was meant to feel like everywhere we've been.
Stone wash paint from the UK lines the entrance — clay-based, air-purifying, the kind of finish you find in converted European flats. Spanish tile in the kitchen and bath. Vases from Mexico, handmade lamps from South Africa, branch stems from East Asia, furniture sourced from India, glassware from Poland and Indonesia. Every object was chosen because it carried something — a memory, a country, a craftsman's hand. Walk in and you feel it before you can explain it.
It's the same instinct I bring to Italy. That belief that where you are should feel intentional — that the atmosphere around a moment shapes the moment itself. The studio in Buford was built on that. The work I do in Tuscany runs on the same current. Different rooms, same philosophy: beauty lives in the details that most people never name but always remember.
