About

Hi, I’m Shealyn

I have loved makeup for as long as I can remember. Four years ago, I turned that passion into a career and became an esthetician. I specialize in bridal makeup and spray tans out of my home studio in Athens, Tennessee, and serve brides throughout East Tennessee, including Athens, Knoxville, Maryville, Chattanooga, and Sevierville.

When I’m not working, you can find me snuggling my three little girls or curled up with a book.

I love meeting all of my brides and their girls. My goal is to help you feel confident and beautiful on your special day.

Kind words

What clients say

  • The best spray tan I have ever had! Shealyn goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are comfortable during sprays and satisfied with their tans. 10/10.

    Chloe Stephens

  • She is 10/10 amazing. Quality product, excellent customer experience and love the outcome! She's now my secret to a glorious tan that looks like I spent the week in the Caribbean. Different shades to choose from but always STUNNING. Weddings, prom, weekend getaways, or just to spoil yourself. You will always walk away impressed and golden.

    Kate Langdon

  • Me and two bridesmaids looked so beautiful. Shea was timely and worked effectively in a small time frame. She was so kind! If I'm ever in the area and need makeup I will be calling her for sure. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    Heather Danielle

  • All I can say is AMAZING! She came to my house, set everything up, and even made sure the surprise UPS guy who showed up didn't walk down my driveway while I was nude. She even did this while rain was coming down around us! We were dry as the desert.

    Grace Face

  • I've never had a spray tan until last night and I'm literally obsessed. Shea makes you feel comfortable and does an excellent job. Love her!

    Emilee Hurst

  • If you are one of those people who are afraid of the horror stories of spray tans, do not be. I recently had my first experience with Spray by Shea and I 100 thousand times recommend! She was so kind, explained everything, and didn't make me feel uncomfortable at all. I'm already on day four and still have such a nice beachy glow. I've had lots of people compliment on how nice and smooth it looks.

Questions

What brides ask first

  • Do you travel? How far?

    Yes. For wedding makeup, I travel from Athens, Tennessee across East Tennessee, including Knoxville, Maryville, Chattanooga, Cleveland, and Sevierville. Travel is $0.70 per mile from Athens, rounded to the nearest dollar, with a $40 minimum. Mobile spray tans are $20 within a 10 mile radius of my studio, plus $0.60 per mile beyond.

  • What's your minimum to book a wedding date?

    Bride plus two other services. That can be bridesmaids, the mother of the bride, or anyone else getting ready with you the morning of.

  • How far in advance should I book?

    Most brides reach out 6 to 12 months ahead. If your date is closer, send an inquiry anyway and I will let you know what is available.

  • Do you do trials? What is involved?

    Yes. Trials run in my Athens studio and take about an hour and a half. We talk through your inspiration, try the look you have in mind, and adjust together until it feels right. A trial is $120 and is separate from your wedding day service.

  • How long does a spray tan last? When should I get one for my wedding?

    A custom spray tan typically lasts 7 to 10 days with good aftercare. For a wedding, plan your spray 2 to 3 days before the event so the color settles into its true tone.

  • What do I wear for a spray tan? Do I shower right after?

    Wear loose, dark clothing and skip lotion, deodorant, and makeup on the day of. You do not shower right away. Depending on the formula, you will rinse after 20 minutes to 2 hours (express), 1 to 4 hours (rapid), or after 8 to 10 hours overnight (custom).
