Christine provides by FAR the best tan in the Denver metro area for spray tan!!!

Christine is always attentive and thorough! She has been tanning me for years and always has me perfect for the stage. The color she uses is a more natural tan and I have no problems wearing it days after the show:)
Great tips!! And thanks for being such an awesome service to the Colorado NPC

I used Chiristine for my first competition and I was so happy with the results!!
Elite tan is amazing! All the ladies who helped with my tan these last few comps have done such a great job, they shared words of encouragement and make you feel so comfortable!!
I tanned with Elite Tan my first competition last year and it was a great experience to say the least. Professional and hassle free!
My tan for my first show from Christine was on point! She fit me in to the tanning schedule last minute, too! Couldn’t have been more grateful! She’s amazing.
Elite Tan is organized and professional. They leave me with a beautiful bronze that not just makes me stage ready but I get to indulge in the gorgeous look days after.
