Meet Stevie
Hi, I’m Stevie - founder of Bronzed Babes and Bronzologist Academy, wife, mom to three boys, and someone who genuinely loves what I get to do every day.
My love for sunless tanning actually started long before Bronzed Babes. At 25, while living in California, I had a melanoma scare that completely changed the way I thought about tanning. As someone who is naturally fair-skinned but has always loved laying on the beach & in tanning beds, I knew I needed a safer alternative - and that’s when I discovered spray tanning.
A few years later, life looked a whole lot different. I became a mom at 28, welcomed my second son at 30, and started looking for a career that would give me the flexibility to be present with my boys while still allowing me to build something of my own.
That’s when I discovered hand held airbrush tanning and decided I was obsessed. It just made sense to do this for a living.
Our family moved to Texas in 2015, I welcomed my third son in 2016, and Bronzed Babes grew right along with us. I went from mobile tanning and renting space inside other salons to eventually opening my own brick-and-mortar studio in the heart of Frisco.
More than a decade later, I’ve personally bronzed thousands of women and have had some pretty surreal opportunities along the way - including tanning Lainey Wilson 3 times for the ACM Awards and once for the Cowboys Thanksgiving half-time show, members of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, Kellie Rasberry of Kidd Kraddick Morning Show, Mrs. America and many more.
But I still love the everyday part of this job just as much. I love getting to know my clients, making women feel confident, and seeing someone look in the mirror after their tan and immediately feel a little more like their best self.
Over the years, my love for sunless tanning has grown into so much more than the salon. I created the Bronzed Babes sunless product line so our clients could bring a little of the Bronzed Babes glow home with them, and I founded Bronzologist Academy, where I train and mentor other women who want to turn spray tanning into a career and business of their own. I have now trained over 100 women how to spray tan.
Bronzed Babes has grown and changed a lot since 2014, and so have I. But the heart behind it has stayed pretty simple:
I love what I do, I love making women feel good, and I’m incredibly grateful that something I started while raising my babies became the brand and career it is today.
