Spray Tanning Solutions Inspired by Melanoma
TOLEDO, OH (Toledo News Now) -
“Back in the 80′s, it was ‘how tan and how blonde can you be?!’ ” said Andrea Licata Bernath.
It was that quest that landed Bernath on the other side of our cameras more than two decades later — but let’s start at the beginning.
Bernath was just 29-years-old when she was diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma 12 years ago.
“Really when I was first diagnosed I didn’t have a fear. You know, I thought I go to the dermatologist and they could cut it out and I could be on my way,” said Bernath.
But that just wasn’t the case.
Bernath was diagnosed on a Thursday. On the next Monday she had her first surgery. In four and half hours doctors removed 16 percent of the muscle in her back, 42 lymph nodes, and 5 other sites they were concerned about. And she has the scars to prove it.
But she’s not alone.
Nearly 77,000 new cases of melanoma will be diagnosed this year in the US. And this cancer will kill more than 9,000 people.
“Even though I got, I had melanoma, I still wanted to be tan. So I started going to tanning facilities and trying other self tanner. And everything I tried turned me some shade of orange.”
So, Andrea quit her job in sales and marketing for a Fortune 500 company and developed her own product for sunless tanning, Kahuna Bay Spray Tan.
The business started as a retail location but other spas and salons wanted the product. It didn’t take long for Andrea and her business partner Chris to get out of the retail side and go strictly into distribution.
Now they are one of the industry leaders. Their sunless tanning products are used by celebrities, pageants, and network news agencies – and carried in more than 12,000 salons and spas around the world.
“We’ve had people from as far away as Japan come here to this tiny little facility.”
Right now they currently employ 11 people in the Toledo area — including several at the Kahuna Bay Spray Tan franchise retail store, which opened this week in Sylvania, Ohio. It’s an exciting time — but for Andrea it is also deeply personal.
“We get contacted by people who have been diagnosed with melanoma daily. And it’s getting younger and younger. If these kids can be aware. If they can go sunless. Wear their sunscreen. We will do what we can to make them beautiful.”
A Note From Emilie:
Andrea shared with me this YouTube clip called “Dear 16 Year Old Me.” It is truly exceptional and no matter how old you are, I recommend taking the 5 minutes to watch it.

Spray Tan Surprise Party
I’m throwing my best friends surprise birthday party next week! She is turning the big 30! Not much surprises this woman, so I thought it would be a cool idea to offer my spray tanning services to her and all the guests. She loves her sunless tans, so I know it will be perfect!
I’m also considering buying her a smaller HVLP spray tanning unit for her to use at home! I’m going to teach her hubby to spray tan, that way he can spray her weekly at home, and they can save a few bucks a week. I absolutely love spray tanning. It feels so good to be able to help people look their best! There’s no better way to get that gorgeous glow!
Spray Tan Equipment Under the Tree
My wife is a spray tan jun
kie! She has one every week at 35 dollars a pop. It’s getting a bit heavy on my wallet! That’s why I decided to go ahead and buy her, her very own spray tanning equipment for Christmas! I know she is going to love being able to get her sunless tan right at home. Maybe I’ll even take a course so I can spray her as well as the mobile spray tanner!
I decided to go with a smaller unit since it’s really just for personal use. I also purchased a pop up spray tanning tent, and the same solutions her professional spray tan tech uses! She is going to be so excited when she sees her gifts under the tree! Pretty soon I’m sure all the women in the neighborhood are going to be coming over to get their spray tanned glow!
Over Spray Extraction
When I first started my mobile spray tanning business I did not think I would need an over spray extraction fan. Boy was I wrong! One spray tanning party without the over spray extraction fan, and I realized how important it actually was to have one! My tent sides were caked with over sprayed sunless tanning solution.
I opted to buy an over spray extraction floor fan. It fits perfectly in the back opening of my pop up spray tan tent. It really has made such a big difference in the air quality, and my clean up time! I’m no longer worried about breathing in DHA every day! The fan filters last a while, and they were really easy to replace!
Spray Tan Start Up
When I started my mobile tanning business I really wasn’t sure what all I needed to get going. I had done a lot of research, but was still sure there would be something I forgot about! That’s why I decided to purchase everything I needed for my sunless tanning business in a convenient spray tanning start up kit!
The spray tanning start up kit I bough literally had everything I needed! It actually had more supplies than I would have thought of, and everything really came in handy. It not only had great spray tanning equipment and sunless tanning solutions, it even had retail products to sell to my clients! I made the money back for my kit in the first month my business was open!

Over-Spray Extraction
I just bought a new Over-spray Reduction Extraction Booth for my tanning salon! It really has made such a difference! The air in my spray tanning room feels so clean, and my techs absolutely love it!
The Over-spray Reduction Extraction Booth I purchased has these great overhead lights that shine down on the clients. My techs love it because there are no shadows on their clients, and they can see exactly what they are doing. It has four extraction fans that pull the over sprayed tanning solution away from the client. It really has helped to keep the spray tanning room clean, and looks so professional in my salon!
Suck Up That Overspray!
Want to greatly reduce the amount of spray tan solution overspray in the air? I’d suggest purchasing an overspray floor fan with filter! The one I 
bought from my solution distributor is great! It fits perfect in the back of my pop spray tan tent!
Having this overspray floor fan has also really helped to keep my pop up spray tan tent clean! It sucks all the solution up into the filter instead of letting it stick to the walls of my tent! I’m also not as worried about breathing in spray tan solution as most of the overspray goes right into the fan. I’m really glad I decided to purchase this fan. It has made such a difference!
