I’ve spent over a decade in the industry so I don’t guess when it comes to skin, color, or results. Everything is intentional, customized, and done the right way.
At Palms, we don’t rush, we don’t cut corners, and we definitely don’t do basic.

What our clients say
The best spray tans in the 518!! Both Kelsey and Gina do an amazing job. Such a welcoming and comfortable experience. 10/10 recommend palms!!!!
As always Gina knocked it out of the park with my tan. Love how comfortable she makes you feel from start to finish!
Gina took me in as a nail client after I had years and years of poor quality "salon" work. After two+ years, my nails are the healthiest they've ever been - I can wear them long with no breakage! Beyond the quality of the products and workmanship, I have to add that I don't think there's nail art that Gina can't do, and sometimes I bring off the wall inspo just to see what she's got! If I could give Palms more than 5 stars, I would. ❤️
Palms Beauty Bungalow is absolutely amazing!
The bungalow is clean, welcoming and such a relaxing vibe. Gina and the rest of the staff are friendly and professional. My nails always come out flawless, and the spray tanning services are top notch. I always leave feeling pampered and confident!
I can’t recommend Beauty Palms Bungalow enough — Gina is truly amazing at what she does! From the moment you walk in, she makes you feel so comfortable, welcomed, and completely unjudged. She takes her time to make sure everything looks perfect, and it really shows in the results.
My spray tan lasted a full week and looked flawless the entire time — it was absolutely perfect for my bachelorette trip! The color was natural, even, and exactly what I wanted.
If you’re even thinking about getting a spray tan, go see Gina. You will not be disappointed!
Gina and her team at Palms Beauty Bungalow are absolute queens! I’ve gone to her for both nails and spray tans. My nails always look flawless and last, and her spray tans are the perfect color which is tailored to my skin tone and always looks natural. It is long lasting and fades seamlessly. She’s so detail-oriented and makes the whole experience relaxing and fun. You can tell she really cares about her clients and her work. She absolutely NAILS it every time!
Hands down the best vibes in town! Palms Beauty Bungalow is such a cute, cozy spot. It’s rare to find a place that feels this personal and professional at the same time. The vibes are unmatched, and the attention to detail on both nails and tanning is top-tier. I am obsessed with the structured gel here! It’s the only thing that keeps my natural nails strong and prevents them from breaking, all while looking incredible. As for the spray tans? It gets the gold standard for spray tanning! Zero orange tones and a flawless application every time. It fades evenly and looks beautiful from day one. They make you feel so comfortable and at ease that any self-consciousness completely disappears. It’s a very professional yet relaxed environment where you truly feel taken care of. Truly in a league of its own compared to other local spots.
I had the best experience and tan from Kelsey! This was my first time getting a professional spray tan done as a trial for my wedding and she was super thorough and catered 100% to my wants & needs, and also gave great recommendations. The tan came out beautiful! 10/10 would recommend!!
I worked with Kelsey for my spray tan and she was super friendly and welcoming! I was nervous about getting a spray tan for the first time, but she made the whole process feel so seamless and comfortable. I’ll definitely be going back for my wedding spray tan!
I’ve had spray tans done by both Gina and Kelsey, and both are so lovely that it’s impossible to choose who to book with next. They both were very knowledgeable, made me feel super comfortable during my appointment and were helpful with all of my follow up questions. Your tan will come out amazing with either of them, and you will absolutely love them! Thank you guys!
