· ABOUT SOLEIL SKIN STUDIO ·

Hi, I'm Mel.

And I'm glad you're here.

Soleil Skin Studio is my little corner of calm in Whitby, Ontario. I built it for people who want to feel confident and a little golden.

· HOW IT STARTED ·

Before all this,

I was just a busy mom.

Before creating Soleil Skin Studio, I was at home raising my kids and helping my husband run his chiropractic clinic. Managing a home, a business, and my own health conditions, I never thought about becoming a spray tan artist.

I've been dealing with an autoimmune condition myself. One day, I took the chance and booked a spa session. I didn't know how much better I could feel.

"Wow. I feel amazing. This is what people come here for. I want to give this to someone else, too."

So I went to school at Trillium and did exactly that. I got certified as both an esthetician and a spray tan artist, and opened Soleil Skin Studio. "Soleil" means sun in French. That's the feeling I want you to walk away with. Warm, glowing, and a little golden.

· WHAT I'M ABOUT ·

No gimmicks. No pressure.

Just your glow.

I'll be honest. A lot of places are about the sell. That's not me. Here's what you can expect every time.

Your Glow, Your Way

Every spray tan I do is tailored to you. Your skin tone, your goals, how deep you want to go. I'm not going to use the same mix on everyone and call it a tan. I take the time to get it right.

No Pressure, Ever

I'm not going to steer you toward something that isn't right for you. If you don't need it, I won't push it. You coming back is worth so much more to me than a quick sale.

I Know How It Feels

When someone comes to see me, I never forget how it felt to walk out of that first session. I know how much it means to actually feel good in your own skin.

· THE CRAFT BEHIND THE GLOW ·

Anyone can buy a spray tan machine.

What makes the difference is the person behind it. Spray tanning is mixology. The colour you walk out with depends on understanding your undertones, choosing the right solution strength, and knowing how your skin absorbs colour.

I use high-end solutions and professional-grade equipment. But the tools only go so far. The knowledge behind them is what makes a tan look natural instead of painted on.

Every person is different. I treat it that way.
