The happytans Podcast

Growing a business is never easy, and managing a team maybe even more challenging. Our guest today, Merissa Dixon, is successfully doing both of these things. Her business, Tanaholix Sunless, has been growing steadily over the past few years. Check out this episode and learn what Merissa and her team are doing right!

In this episode, Heather shares her story about how she got started in the tanning industry back in 2006 in Miami, FL.  At that time, social media wasn't prevalent so she was able to spray tan celebrities regularly.  After following her culinary passion and going to culinary school, she circled back to her original passion - spray tanning.

Keri has only been in the sunless industry for a couple of years but has already made her mark in a number of ways.  Through her networking and connections, she has been able to spray on runways for fashion shows and also for some other iconic events.

Gianni is one of, if not the, first people to offer spray tanning in Paraguay.  Just around 3 years ago, she brought spray tanning from Los Angeles to Paraguay.  This year she will open her third and fourth location as she continues to grow her business.  As she mentions in the interview, spray tanning is not well known there, yet!  If she has anything to say about it, it soon will be more well known.

Stefani is the second guest that has come back to join us for a repeat episode.  I am sure glad we did it too!  So much has changed since we recorded our last episode, including Stefani relocation over 5,000 miles from Hawaii to Washington, DC.

Amy has been in the sunless industry for over 16 years (yes, 1-6) since 2004!  She started her own mobile spray tanning business, Mistified Spray Tans, in 2013 after years of working in the industry.
