Ashley ONeill
Owner, Healthy Hue Spray Tanning
My name is Ashley O’Neill. I was born in 1989. I was 12 years old the first time I had ever used a UV bed. From then on I was hooked. My friends and I would go tanning every chance we got! During the summer months, I would lay in the sun for hours on end, soaked in baby oil with no SPF protection from the sun. In the winter months, I had a gym membership to be able to use the UV tanning beds as much as I wanted (which was about every other day).
As I grew older, my skin was not only feeling like spotted leather, but looking like it too. My dermatologist advised me it was only a matter of time before I ended up with skin cancer. Especially because it runs in my family. My first thought was, there’s no way I’m going to stop tanning. Even with the scare of possible cancer.
So that’s when I began my search for a healthy alternative. I’ve tried almost every self tanner on the market you can imagine, in search for one that didn’t leave me with streaks or blotchyness. I wanted something that would help with my uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles, sun spots...etc.
That’s where the thought of a spray tanning business comes into play. My goal is to make everyone that walks in my door to feel as confident, beautiful, and flawless as I do when I have a spray tan. It’s truly life changing and so rewarding when I can give instant confidence to someone else.
