She hated barrier cream… so she decided to create something better. This week on After Hours, I’m sitting down with Emily Turner — spray tan artist, owner of Golden Hour, and the founder of V Cool Tanning Co.We’re going all the way back to how Emily got started in the sunless industry and the frustration during her own appointments that eventually turned into an idea for V Cool.And I was SO nosy about the product side of things. Emily takes us behind the scenes of what it actually looks like to turn an idea into a real beauty product — finding a cosmetic chemist, testing formulas, investing in inventory, figuring out packaging + manufacturing, getting other artists to trust something completely new, dealing with restocks and all the very unglamorous things that happen behind the scenes of a product company.We also talk about balancing Golden Hour with V Cool, the biggest lessons she’s learned as a founder, the moments that made her realize “holy shit… this is actually working,” and what she wants V Cool to become next.If you’re a beauty pro who has EVER thought, “Why doesn’t someone make something that does ___?”… this episode might make you look at that idea a little differently.

What happens when YOU can’t be the one doing everything anymore? 👀This week on After Hours, I’m sitting down with Jenna, founder of TLS Spray Tan Bar, for such a fun (and very real) conversation about going from spray tan artist to actually becoming the OWNER of a growing business.We talk about starting TLS with just $500, getting booked enough to make that first hire, trusting other artists with the brand you built, managing employees, navigating the boss/friend relationship, delegating, opening multiple locations, creating systems, and learning that growing a business sometimes means letting go of doing everything yourself.Jenna also shares the things she looks for when hiring, lessons she’s learned from managing a team, mistakes she’d avoid if she were starting over, what scaling REALLY looks like behind the scenes, and her advice for the artist wondering, “Am I actually ready to hire?”And of course… there are plenty of laughs, unpopular opinions, business icks & stories mixed in. 😂Whether you’re a solo beauty pro, thinking about making your first hire, already managing a team, or just love hearing what actually goes on behind a growing beauty business — this one is GOOD. 🤎Grab your coffee & come hang out with us After Hours. 🎙️

From a Master’s degree + career in healthcare… to building a full-time spray tan business. This week on After Hours, I’m sitting down with Emily, the woman behind EMK Spray Tan, to talk about what it really looked like to walk away from the career she thought she was “supposed” to have and bet on herself instead.Emily takes us back to the beginning of EMK — spraying clients before and after work from her basement (aka “the dungeon”), realizing her side hustle was becoming something much bigger, eventually leaving healthcare, and going from a home-based business to opening a storefront while continuing to operate both locations.But this conversation goes WAY beyond spray tans.We talk about building a business around confidence, the things women say about their bodies behind closed doors, creating an experience that makes clients feel genuinely GOOD about themselves, pricing + client retention, launching her own retail products, social media, business investments, boundaries, mistakes, and what she actually wants EMK to become next.If you’ve ever felt like you chose one path and now it’s “too late” to choose another — or you’re building something on the side and wondering if it could ever become your full-time career — this episode is for you. 🤎Grab your coffee & come hang out with us After Hours. 🎙️

Spray tans, branding photos, social media… and building an APP?! This week on After Hours, I’m sitting down with Abby, the girl behind Sprays by Abbs, to talk about how she turned spray tanning into a brand that feels completely her own — and why she’s not stopping there.We get into how Abby started in the sunless industry, building a recognizable brand online, creating those insanely good branding shoots, and her best advice for beauty pros who want their content to actually stand out without copying what everyone else is doing.Then we get into a completely different side of Abby: Toasted, the app she’s building with her brother. 🍞 She shares where the idea came from, what it’s really been like stepping from the beauty industry into the tech world, building a business with your sibling, and what she hopes Toasted eventually becomes.We also talk social media, client experience, business investments, lessons learned, taking risks, having more than one dream, and what she would do differently if she had to start Sprays by Abbs all over again.If you’re a beauty pro with a million ideas in your head who’s ever wondered if you’re allowed to build something bigger than the service you started with… this episode is for you. 🤎Grab your coffee & come hang out with us After Hours. 🎙️

From 26 years in the U.S. Navy… to spray tans. ⚓️ This week’s After Hours story is one you NEED to hear.I’m sitting down with Holly, the woman behind The Salty Spray in Birmingham, Alabama, to talk about a journey that looks a little different than your typical beauty business story.Holly takes us through her incredible Navy career — deployments, life at sea, being a woman in the military during a very different time, and some WILD experiences along the way — before opening up about what happened when that chapter ended and she had to figure out, what’s next?We talk about navigating civilian life, reinventing yourself, finding entrepreneurship, and somehow going from aircraft carriers to picking up a spray gun and building a mobile spray tan business. Of course, we get into the business side too — starting The Salty Spray, finding clients, building a memorable brand, social media, lessons learned along the way, and why it’s NEVER too late to start something completely new.This episode is so much bigger than spray tans. It’s about starting over, trusting where life takes you, and realizing that your next chapter might look nothing like the one you planned. 🤎Grab your coffee & come hang out with us After Hours.
