Anne Pipkin was once a loyal customer of the Gorgeous Glo. But she loved the spray-tanning salon so much that she couldn't resist becoming the owner. In that capacity, Pipkin joins with her fellow staff members, Donna Sloop, Zoe Shook, and Catherine Slaven, to share their studio’s natural spray-tanning formula with their clients. They help tanners achieve bronzed hues without the incurring harmful effects of UV rays or painstakingly coloring themselves in gold crayon. Their spray tans incorporate antioxidants and botanicals and can last up to 10 days. An on-site blow-out center manned by stylists Charlie Butler, Stephanie Rivera, Emily McCorkle, Kayla Fowler, Abby Johnson and Zoe Shook top off tan looks with sleekly styled coifs.
