History

Established in 2011.

What began as a quest for the perfect spray tan in Kansas City quickly turned into a passion.

In 2011 Recreating Rays came to fruition after many spray tan experiences gone wrong. Knowing that those women on The Real Housewives always have amazing looking spray tans and the spray tans I was receiving looked anything BUT amazing, I went on a quest to learn the art of the airbrush tan and to bring that art to my hometown. In July 2011, Recreating Rays was born.

Since 2011, we have performed thousands of spray tan services for clients from all over the metro. In 2016, we add mobile services to our lineup bringing our signature, five-​step protocol to your doorstep. Recreating Rays continues to grow year after year because of our amazing clients and our undying commitment to quality and service.

Meet the Business Owner

Shonna D.

Business Owner

I’m Shonna and I’m the founder of Recreating Rays. I turned my love for people and my belief in the positive effects of a great spray tan into a business. I strive to make everyone feel comfortable during their tan and in their own skin. As someone who was a spray tan client before I was an spray tan specialist, I know how important that is.

Two years after starting this business it took on a new meaning for me with my first skin cancer diagnosis. Within 18 months of that first diagnosis, I had two more skin cancers — one being melanoma, the most deadly form. I am lucky. Thanks to my annual skin checks, it was caught early. Skin cancer awareness is so important to me!

Today, I’m not just a spray tan specialist, but also an industry expert and educator who has taught dozens of women how to start their own spray tanning businesses. In 2015 I fulfilled another dream and founded Association of Sunless Tanning Professionals, the spray tanning industry’s first professional organization.
