EXPERIENCE THE GLOW DIFFERENCE

Glow Tanning Salon is a locally women-owned and operated tanning salon in the heart of Gardendale. Owners, Mary and Alyssa, truly have a heart for clients and a passion for the tanning industry. Our salon offers UV tanning, Custom Spray Tans, and Red Light Therapy to help you achieve your tan goals. Mary and Alyssa both worked at Glow throughout college, building relationships and dreams of one day it being their own. In 2020, as if life wasn’t crazy enough, they took the jump and purchased Glow. Now years later, they have poured into the business making it a welcoming and personable environment.

Come see the what the Glow difference is all about.

That game day glow😮‍💨☀️
The other day, someone asked, “Who exactly do you target with your spray tan services?” I started to respond, but then realized I didn’t have a specific answer. I simply replied, “Well, everyone,” and got a curious look in return. But honestly, it’s true. At Glow, we genuinely believe that spray tans are for everyone, whether you’re 8 or 80. They’re for you. A spray tan isn’t just about adding some color; it’s about giving you an instant confidence boost and is a form of self-care✨ 

This is one of our favorite pictures from our beautiful bride @briannazumbado’s wedding. We had the privilege of providing spray tans for her, her bridal party, her mom, and her grandmother. No matter your age or where you are in life, you deserve to glow🫶🏼

GLOW is my go to spray tan place - they have sprayed me for countless things: pageants, modeling, weddings, and I just recently got sprayed for my engagement photos!😍 They are so attentive, affordable, and always know how to boost my confidence. I’m quite modest in front of people and don’t usually like being sprayed, but I always feel comfortable here. Emma is my go to, and she is the sweetest! I could not recommend Glow or Emma more! I’ll be back soon for my rehearsal & wedding spray!!

Glow is the best. I absolutely adore Taylor. She makes you feel so comfortable and with having 5 kids and a busy schedule it makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE in the world. She always has went out of her way to help me be able to fit in to her already busy schedule and that’s why I will always stick with her at GLOW AND NOT TO MENTION GLOW IS THE BEST AROUND!

I always feel so welcomed when I come here! All of the girls are so sweet and really try to get to know you! As a pale girl I was really nervous about getting a spray tan and looking too dark/orange but they get it right every single time!! I always get so many compliments on my sprays! They brought me a new level of confidence I didn’t know I could have. If you are thinking of getting one for an event or just for fun DO IT, you will not regret it!

Absolutely thrilled with my experience at Glow Tanning Salon! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. The new salon is beautiful and clean, which immediately put me at ease. They offer both tanning beds and spray tans, which is fantastic for catering to different preferences and needs. Their spray tan artists are incredibly knowledgeable and take the time to ensure you're comfortable and informed throughout the process. My tans always turn out flawlessly even, with a natural-looking glow that last a while! The Glow Girls are truly the best and I would never trust anyone else with my tan! They care about their clients so much and go above and beyond to make sure you feel confident and beautiful!
