Meet the Owner

Hi, I’m Ashlei—founder of AfterGlow Tan Co., Licensed Esthetician, Celebrity Makeup Artist, and 8x Certified Master Spray Tan Artist.

I created AfterGlow with one goal in mind: to help women look and feel their absolute best—glowing, confident, and completely themselves. I believe beauty should feel like luxury, not pressure. Every tan we apply is custom-crafted to enhance your natural skin tone, never mask it. Orange? Not in this house.

Originally from South Carolina, I brought my Southern warmth (and obsession with details) to Wisconsin when my family relocated to Madison. What started as a solo passion has grown into a thriving team of artists, two studios, mobile tanning services, and a reputation for delivering flawless, natural-looking spray tans for every skin tone, occasion, and lifestyle.

When I’m not airbrushing bronzed perfection or glamming up brides, you’ll find me chasing my three kids, sipping coffee (or wine, depending on the hour), spoiling my dog Bizzy, or dreaming up new ways to grow this business into a full-on beauty empire.

AfterGlow is more than a tan—it’s a glow-up moment, inside and out. Whether you’re a first-timer or a spray tan veteran, I can’t wait to welcome you into the AfterGlow family.
