Behind the Glow: Our Story

Nearly a decade of perfecting the art of spray tanning—driven by passion, built on trust, and obsessed with flawless, natural results.

How It Started

As a Jersey Girl growing up in the 1980’s, tanning = life! In my teens and twenties, my friends and I would spend every sunny day laying by the pool, slathered in baby oil + iodine with the tanning salon on speed dial for days that it rained. We couldn’t get dark enough and missing a day wasn’t an option.

As I got older my pace slowed but my commitment continued until the day I woke up and noticed sun damage on my face and chest. It was as if it happened overnight. That’s the moment I began looking for tanning alternatives.

I tried spray booths, and always left an orange, streaky mess (ahem Ross from Friends! (www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc1C0I6x3lI). And the spray tans from the tanning salons were just as bad. I spent hundreds of dollars on at-home tanning products being sold on shopping channels + late-night infomercials, but nothing was ever good enough. For years I kept saying, ‘I know I can do this better’—and so, in 2016, I did!

Over the years, I’ve become a Master Spray Tan Artist, trainer, and educator. I added teeth whitening services and built a small team of exceptional Tanning Artists who I consider family. Together, we’ve built Bronze Age into a nationally recognized brand with over 3,000 customers and more than 800 five-star Google reviews! Check out our 800 five-star Google reviews!

We’ve tanned for NY Fashion and Swim Weeks, NJ Housewives, actors, and models—but our favorite tans are the ones we do for YOU. Nobody is more passionate about spray tanning than we are and there’s nothing that brings me more joy than spraying on a confidence boost and transforming how you view yourself.

If I had known how significantly this business would impact my life, I would have started straight out of high school. I LOVE what I do and can't wait for you to experience one of our 5-star services!

Diane Owner

Master Spray Tan Artist, Trainer + Educator

Diane started Bronze Age almost 10 years ago because what existed simply wasn’t good enough. What began as a side gig has grown into something far greater than she ever imagined. Looking back, she says that if she had known how significantly this business would impact her life, she would have started straight out of high school. Today, she can’t wait for you to experience one of Bronze Age’s 5-star services.

Outside of work, Diane is a wife and devoted dog mom to Rigatoni and Alfredo. When she’s not tanning clients, you’ll find her sneaking away for a long weekend with her girlfriends or making time to unwind by her pool.

Alyssa

Master Spray Tan Artist

Before becoming a Super Mom, Alyssa worked as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and part-time spray tan tech. She has a unique way of making you feel instantly comfortable, like you’ve been best friends for years.

“I’m obsessed with giving flawless tans and firmly believe that everyone looks better with a little bronze and a lot of confidence—and I’m here to deliver both!”

As a wife and mother of three adorable boys, she’s a favorite among our moms and moms-to-be. She often stays late chatting with customers about the challenges and rewards of parenting. Alyssa is a Rook Coffee devotee, taco lover, and enjoys making memories at the beach with her family.

Helen

Master Spray Tan Artist

Helen is a New Jersey native and realtor with Keller Williams Realty. She started as a Bronze Age customer before becoming a rock star tanning artist and our resident comedian. When she inquired about training three years ago, I jumped at the chance because I knew she was perfect for the Bronze Age family.

Sweet, funny, and a crazy dog lover (which is non-negotiable here!), Helen lives by the motto “If you can’t tone it, tan it!” Her favorite thing about spray tanning is seeing how confident her customers are after their service. When she’s not selling houses or beautifying her amazing customers, she’s spending time with her favorite guy, Oliver, taking improv classes, or volunteering with dog rescues.

JUST A FEW QUICK THINGS TO NOTE BEFORE YOU BOOK!

Finding Us: We are a home-based studio, so don’t worry if your GPS seems to be taking you to a residential neighborhood because it is! Just enter “6 Stanley Drive, Monroe Township” or “Bronze Age Spray Tanning,” look for our sign on the lawn and come to the front door. All appointments, regardless of who you are booked with (Diane, Alyssa or Helen) are taken here.

Bonus: Waiting to greet you at the front door will be two very special “employees” who can’t wait to become your new best friends: Rigatoni (our wiener dog/hound mix) + his golden retriever brother Alfredo. However, if you aren’t in the market for any new friends, have allergies or simply prefer a pup-free experience, no worries! Just let us know, and we’ll happily relocate them to their VIP lounge (aka another room).

Cancellations: We do require a credit card to hold your appointment, but it’s only charged if you are a no-call, no-show to your appointment. We understand life happens and kindly ask that you give us at least 12 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule, and we’ll do everything we can to accommodate you.

Appointments: Can’t decide which tan to choose? No problem! Every appointment starts with a personalized skin consultation where we’ll help you achieve the perfect bronze glow. So go ahead and book any option, because it can always be changed. Feel free to browse all of our options on the Bronze Age homepage if you’d like to explore beforehand!

Multiple Appointments: Booking for multiple people? No problem! Just use their information when setting up the appointment. Since we customize each service to the individual, we’ll need a separate profile for each person.

Appointment Duration: If you’re a new customer, plan for about 45 minutes for a spray tan session and 90 minutes for a teeth whitening session. We never want you to feel rushed + make sure you receive our full 5-star experience!
