About
Meet Katie
Katie founded Golden Hour Tans with a passion for helping women feel confident in their skin through a beautiful, natural-looking glow. What began as a mobile tanning business has grown into a private studio in Ballston, with the same personal care that started it all.
As a master spray tan artist, Katie takes a personalized approach to every glow. Each appointment begins with a consultation to understand your skin tone, desired color, and the occasion you’re preparing for. Every tan is then hand-applied using an airbrush, with careful attention to blending and detail for an even, seamless finish.
Katie selects and customizes each solution to complement your skin tone and achieve your ideal shade—from a soft, subtle bronze to a deeper, tropical glow. She also guides you through preparation, rinse timing, and aftercare so you feel confident caring for your tan long after your appointment.
At Golden Hour Tans, the experience matters just as much as the result. From the welcoming, women-only studio to the convenience of mobile appointments, every detail is designed to help you feel comfortable, cared for, and beautifully bronzed.
