elite.tanKC started like many heartfelt businesses do—with family in mind. When Jen’s daughter, Chloe, needed a tan for homecoming, Jen was determined to keep her out of tanning beds. So, she learned how to do it herself. That one act of love quickly grew into a passion and business. From her basement to mobile spray tans and eventually to a cozy suite at the Beauty Lounge, Jen built elite.tanKC from the ground up with a vision to provide safe, high-quality, personalized tans in a welcoming environment.

Ask anyone who’s visited elite.tanKC, and they’ll tell you it’s not just the tan—it’s the attention to detail and luxury products that set it apart. Jen uses Dolce Glow, a celebrity spray tan artist-formulated line that clients actively search out by name. Every session is tailored to your unique skin tone and undertone, ensuring a natural and stunning result every time.

And let’s be real—there’s something empowering about a good tan. As Jen says, everyone’s body is different, so no two tans should be the same. Whether you're prepping for an event or just want to feel your best, elite.tanKC offers full-body custom spray tans designed to boost your glow and your confidence.

Jen is more than just a small business owner—she’s a champion of local businesses. Through social media, pop-ups, and events, she’s formed strong bonds with fellow vendors, especially in the wedding industry. Whether she’s shouting out local favorites like Mama & Me Boutique, Love Letters, 11:11 Lash Studio, or Revelation Tattoo, Jen believes in community over competition.

“I really believe there’s room for everyone,” she shares. “When I can’t take someone, I love referring them out. It builds trust—and a stronger community.”
