Welcome to SolFlower

Hi, I'm Stephanie!

Thank you for being here.

I'm the owner of SolFlower Sunless Studio, but my full-time career is actually in the fire service. For the past 11 years, I've worked as a firefighter and paramedic.

Caring for people has always been at the heart of what I do. After spending my career helping people through some of their hardest days, creating a place where people can relax, laugh, and simply enjoy being taken care of has been incredibly rewarding. Whether you're getting ready for a wedding, vacation, special event, or simply treating yourself, my goal is to make you feel comfortable, cared for, and excited about your glow.

SolFlower started with a simple thought:
"I wonder if I could do this?"

That one question turned into months of education, hands-on training, product research, and more DIY projects than I can count. Somewhere along the way, I realized I'd fallen in love with building something that was completely my own.

From renovating my basement into a private studio to carefully choosing products and designing every detail, I created the kind of experience I would want as a client—warm, welcoming, comfortable, and never rushed.

People often ask where the name SolFlower came from. My mom's favorite flower has always been a sunflower, and since tanning is all about sunshine and warmth, the name just felt right. Sol means "sun," and together it became SolFlower—a name that reminds me of warmth, happiness, and helping people leave feeling a little brighter than when they arrived.

I know life gets busy, so I offer appointments both in my private home studio and through mobile spray tanning throughout the Cincinnati area. Whether you come to the studio or I come to you, my goal is always the same—to make your appointment easy, comfortable, and enjoyable.

Life is serious enough—I figure getting a spray tan should be one of the easiest and most enjoyable parts of your week. Whether we're laughing through your appointment, talking about life, or you're simply enjoying a quiet hour to yourself, I hope you leave not only loving your glow, but feeling relaxed, refreshed, and maybe with a few laughs along the way.

If it's your first spray tan, don't worry. I'll walk you through every step, answer your questions, and make sure you feel comfortable from beginning to end. There are no silly questions here, no pressure, and no judgment—just a personalized experience designed around you.

When I'm not at the firehouse or in the studio, you'll usually find me spending time with my family, tackling another DIY project around the house, enjoying the outdoors, or dreaming up my next idea for SolFlower.

Thank you so much for supporting my small business. Every appointment, every referral, and every kind word mean more than you know. It truly is an honor to be a small part of your weddings, vacations, celebrations, and everyday moments.

My hope is that when you leave your appointment, you don't just love your tan—you leave feeling a little more confident than when you walked in.

I can't wait to welcome you into the studio—or bring the studio to you.

See you soon,
