Laura is awesome. The spray tan was top notch. Laura is a true professional who knew exactly what I needed to look my best. She is a considerate and experienced artist. You can't go wrong with any service you might need!
Response from the owner:Jayne, thank you so much! I’m thrilled you loved your spray tan. It’s always my goal to make clients here in Virginia Beach feel confident and glowing. I appreciate your trust and can’t wait to see you again!
Laura is the sweetest, most incredible human in the entire world!!! I pretty much asked for the impossible and she moved mountains to make it happen. I cannot express my sincere gratitude and appreciation! She is absolutely amazing and hair & makeup turned out completely PERFECT!!! Laura thank you for everything!!! 10/10 recommend - she is an absolute gem!!!!
Response from the owner:Your words mean so much—thank you!! I know it was a last-minute call, and I was more than happy to shift things. It was so thoughtful of you to gift your friend's hair and makeup since you couldn't make her bachelorette party. t’s always an honor to bring a little extra joy and confidence, here in Hampton Roads.
Lo is a top tier makeup artist with the highest quality looks and even better personality. I am so thankful I booked Lo for my wedding day bridal look and my bridal party. She had all of us looking our best and she really took my vision (as somebody who barely knows makeup) and was able to perfectly execute the look. I wanted a natural look without any harsh lines and I mean she crushed it, some of my girls did heavier glam and she crushed that too! Not to mention she is so easy to talk to and really helped the vibes the morning of. Do yourself a favor and book Lo for your wedding day make up!
Response from the owner:My stunning Biz, this makes me so happy—thank you! You were such a gorgeous bride, and I loved creating your natural bridal makeup while giving your girls their full-on glam. You trusted me with your wedding day vision (even though you said you “barely know makeup” 😉) and we absolutely crushed it together. I’m so glad I could bring the good vibes and help make your Virginia Beach wedding morning that much more fun.
Love!!! Didn’t realize she works out of her home, so be prepared to wash your hair beforehand but she was amazing!!! She really took her time with my hair and did a fabulous job on my makeup!!!! 10/10 recommend!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! I’m so glad you loved your hair and makeup. I do work out of my home studio here in Virginia Beach, which gives me the space to really take my time and focus on each client. I appreciate your recommendation and can’t wait to glam you up again soon! ✨
Lo was fantastic; she made getting my hair and makeup done, in a brand new city, fun and easy. I got so many compliments during our event because of her beautiful work. 10/10 recommend!
Response from the owner:Laura, thank you so much! I’m so glad I could make you feel right at home in a new city and that you loved your hair and makeup. Hearing you got so many compliments makes my day—that’s exactly what I aim for! I’d love to glam you up again next time you’re in Virginia Beach. 💄✨
Laura is amazing!! I knew she was perfect after the trial makeup & sure enough, she did such a great job on my bridal makeup. She even helped lace up my dress lol. All around a great person & makeup artist!
Response from the owner:Ruthie, Thank you so much! It was such an honor to be your bridal makeup artist—and I loved getting to be part of those extra little wedding morning moments (yes, even lacing up the dress 😂). You were a stunning bride, and I’m so glad I could help bring your vision to life. Congratulations again! 💍✨
I had a fantastic experience! This was my first ever spray tan, and I was completely at ease with the process.
Response from the owner:Nicole, I'm so glad your first spray tan was such a great experience! It means a lot that you felt comfortable and at ease—that’s always my goal. Can’t wait to give you that glow again
Lauren is fabulous! I knew I wanted to get a spray tan before my wedding and I booked to have it done a few times in the months leading up to my wedding. This way I could pick the best color & know how it would fade so I would be able to decide what day before the wedding to have it done. It’s not easy to strip down in front of someone and have them see all of you….cellulite/fat included! She made it so easy and relaxed that it was like talking to my best friend. My daughter and both of my sons’ girlfriends went with me and everyone loved their tan- even my daughter who is mixed and was terrified of looking orange thought it was perfect. We all enjoyed Lauren & she gave us some makeup tips. My only regret is that I did not find her sooner because I would’ve 100% had her be my make up artist at my wedding! The girls and I are going to go to Lauren every time we have a special event or vacation coming up. Absolute recommend her!
Response from the owner:Tricia, This review makes me so happy! I loved being part of your wedding prep and I’m even more grateful that you’ve kept coming back to me for your spray tans and that you do our Spray Tan Membership every summer. I love our 'tan and talks' and seeing you (and your crew!) glow for every event and vacation is the best part of what I do. I’m so glad you feel comfortable and at ease—that’s always my goal. Can’t wait to keep you glowing all year long! ✨
I got a spray tan from Laura about 3 days before my wedding, and I’m very happy with my experience! I had a beautiful glow on my wedding day that looked very natural. Laura is professional and a delight to work with, and I would highly recommend her services to other brides.
Response from the owner:Elena, Thank you so much for letting me be part of your wedding prep! I’m so glad you felt confident and glowing with a natural-looking spray tan on your big day. It was such a joy working with you, and I truly appreciate your recommendation to other brides. Wishing you so much love and happiness in this next chapter! 💍✨
Laura was amazing. Fully engaged communicating with my wife while she worked her magic make-up skills. Highly recommend this wonderful lady.
Response from the owner:Tony, thank you for your kind words! It was such a joy getting to know your wife and creating her makeup look. I’m so glad she (and you!) had a great experience. I truly appreciate the recommendation!
Laura's spray tan was a great formula that gave me that beautiful long-lasting soft glow I was looking for that did not go orange at all. I had it done on a Wednesday and had a wedding to go the following Saturday and it was absolutely perfectly on Saturday and I would say lasted about 10 days as described. Laura was so sweet and personable and instantly made me feel comfortable. Her pup was precious too. Definitely recommend!
Response from the owner:Ashley, I'm thrilled that you had such a great tan experience!
Best spray tan in the area. Lo is a truly professional and make you feel very comfortable. The place is beautiful and very clean. The formula she use for the tan doesn’t smell bad like the other's one. Thank you Lo!
Response from the owner:Thanks, Andrea. I think the scented setting powder helps a lot with the smell!
I think that she is very fun and entertaining to talk to! She was sweet. Both important because as a bride you want someone fun and sweet to be around on your wedding day. She did let me know she thought I was getting married quickly which I did fast🤷🏻♀️ My hair and make up the day of I got tons of compliments on. She definitely did a great job. I didn’t feel like I even had a lot of makeup on but it looked great. I told her what I wanted for my hair and she made it work! Over all I loved my experience and thought she did such a great job. I would recommend for sure.
Response from the owner:Paige, thank you and I hope your new life is going great!
Response from the owner:Leandra, Thank you so much for the 5-star review! I’m thrilled you were happy with the professionalism, quality, and value of your experience. I truly appreciate your support and hope to see you again soon in Virginia Beach! ✨
First spray tan (so I was nervous) and it did not disappoint. Laura made me feel extremely comfortable and picked the perfect color for me. Definitely will be back!
Response from the owner:Yay! No nervous tanners here. There's nothing to worry about, my job is to make you feel comfortable!
Laura is absolutely amazing! ❤️ I could not be happier with the makeup and hair she did for my wedding. Even without a typical bridal trial, she created a look that was absolutely perfect for me and my dress 🥰 not to mention my family and I had so much fun talking with her as I was getting fixed up! She fit right in with us! I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a true professional with a side of entertainment 😉✨
Response from the owner:I loved meeting your family and you all looked amazing!
Laura is super nice & made me feel comfortable right away. And my spray tan looks great.
Response from the owner:Comfortable clients are happy clients, Thank you!!
Best quality! I’ve had my makeup done and been spray tanned by Lo and she is AMAZING. Absolutely hilarious which doesn’t hurt either haha
I’ve been spray tanned by other people a million times but I love the shade Lo chose for me. I had so many people compliment my “real looking” tan!

AMAZING!!! Honestly not only does she do a great job but I think I found a new bff lol. What an amazing and personal experience. I'll never go anywhere else.
Response from the owner:Thanks Dustin! So glad that you enjoyed my 'tan and talk'
Laura is awesome! She did my hair and makeup for my engagement shoot, which looked flawless in pictures! Booking was quick and easy online. Not only were the services great, but she made the time pass so quickly with great conversation.
Response from the owner:It was so fun to work with you. You looked amazing
Laura is awesome, she makes you feel comfortable immediately. I went to do a trail spray tan before my wedding to see if I'd like to do one for my big day. We went with the medium spray color. The tan was beautiful, not orange or streaky at all. I decided to go with the light for my wedding to get a more natural glow.
I highly recommend going to Laura for a spray tan!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Kristen!!!
Had a great time, you Rock!! Amazing tan 🙂
Response from the owner:So happy tan was great for you!
FANTASTIC!! I had the best time learning about different make up technics and colors that is best suited for my skin tones.
Don't get stuck with the same face for decades because your to scared to change your make up routine. I am so exited to do my evening make up as well as my daily. Laura is amazing and has mad talent and experience to bring you in to the 2018 century . Thank you girl!!!

This was my first ever tan and I was really nervous about turning orange. I read Laura's reviews and decided to go for it. I was not disappointed! She explained everything to me beforehand and gave me aftercare instructions. I didn't want anything drastic, only a shade darker than my natural color and it's noticeably darker but looks completely natural. Will definitely return for any special occasions or just for an occasional glow in the winter. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
5 star for sure!! Ive gotten multiple spray tans from Laura and they have all been amazing. She is professional yet fun, perfect combination!! I would highly recommend!!
To put it simply, Laura is AMAZING!! She has been a god send since I moved back here, 2 years ago, from Richmond. I use her several times a month and she never disappoints! I'm someone who has tried all the chain spray tanning booths and even thought I had it down to a science, but once I tried Laura for my sisters wedding, I was sold! No way that you can get this type of customized tan and white glove service at a tanning bed! Whether she is coming to your house or you are visiting her location, you will walk away with the exact tan, customized to your exact desire. She is great not only for the regular spray "tanners" but especially those who are new to spray tanning and wanting to avoid the common faux pas of spray tanning! I can't say enough great things about Laura and her services 🙂
I've used Laura twice now and I could not be happier with my results. Once was for a bikini competition and the other was for a photoshoot. She used different makeup for each because lighting is much harsher than in person, but both were absolutely amazing.
I have used Laura for years for spray tanning. She is super professional and knowledgeable. I have been to other places that have given me uneven tans, used crappy products, and didn't give good aftercare instructions. Laura is very precise with her work and makes sure the tan lasts for a long time. Highly recommend!
Laura is amazing! I have used her several times for spray tans and make up and I have always been happy with the results!
Laura does an amazing job! Professional, warm, and amazing results! Highly recommend her for all services!
