We recently connected with Lia Cibulish and have shared our conversation below.

Lia, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?

Our mission is to offer and provide clients consistent, predictable and natural results with every spray tan using the highest premium grade product in the market. To be an exceptional airbrush spray tanning business that educates on the benefits of spray tanning, and offers peace of mind and confidence for every appointment. Also, my mission is to always provide a comfortable, luxury and fun space for my clients.

Lia, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

My name is Lia Cibulish. I’m 29 years old, married to my husband Thomas, I’m a full time mom of my beautiful 3 year old daughter. For a very long time I used the tanning beds and I was never educated on all the risks of using the tanning beds, like skin cancer. I spent a lot of money on sunless tanning lotions with barely any satisfying results. I experimented with spray tanning, and wanted to hide for the first few days after because the results were not for my skin tone or I was orange. At Bronze Beauties Tanning we wanted to find a way where people can be tanned without damaging their skin and without looking orange with a spray tan. At Bronze Beauties Tanning everyone leaves Bronzed & Glowing. After all it makes everything you wear look so much better and it is known to boost one’s confidence, but a tan is not worth the harmful effects of the sun and tanning beds.
What makes me different from the rest and sets me apart is the ambiance & luxurious atmosphere I always provide. From the beautiful Decor, clean & scented candle room when you first walk in, I always get the “wow, it’s beautiful in here” & “It smells Amazing in here”. At Bronzed Beauties Tanning I also offer, snacks, candies, gourmet chocolate, a glass of wine, champagne, soft beverages all the way to the soft robe & spa slippers you slip into after you undress. If you book a spray tan with anyone else you just don’t get that. In this industry spray tanning is looked at just a “in & out” service. It lacks that luxury feel to it & I wanted to be the first to change that, not just here in Jacksonville but world wide. I want my clients to feel like a queen, relaxed & and always get excited to come back. I am HUGE on relationships and making people feel comfortable…let’s be real when you get a spray tan you have to undress down to your nude self, in front of a stranger. It is important to me that each person who steps in my suite can shed the nervousness and negative thoughts they have about the way they look. Everyone who comes to me is beautiful and perfect in their own way, and I want each person to know that no matter what “flaws” they see in themselves, I don’t see them at all! It is also important to me to educate my clients in how to properly care for their skin so they get the best out of my services.
I’am most proud of my consistency/dedication & how fast my business is growing even though I just opened in October of 2022. My amazing work just says it all. I’m a perfectionist and I pay attention to details. Overall I take my time to blend and make sure you leave my salon more confident than ever and knowing you got your money worth. I use the top of line products that celebrities in Hollywood use, which is also sets me apart from others locally.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

I got to where I am today business-wise from learning from others on what I did not want to do. Lots of lessons have been learned along the way, mistakes have been made a long the way, but what is important is how you react and overcome those challenges and lessons. Every day is a learning experience and every day I am constantly trying to tech myself new ways to make myself and my service better, that is how you can ultimately be successful. Ultimately, if I make someone feel great about themselves, in the way that they look and feel about themselves. The world needs more positivity, and more people that love themselves for who they are and if I can aid in that, then my mission is accomplished!

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

Consistency! I can’t say this enough. I do own another business with my husband so I witnessed all the trial and tribulation a business can go through. One thing that we never fall short in is being active on social media. My clients are all from social media & word of mouth. When a client goes on social media to look for a spray tan artist they want to see your work & see if you are active! My social media page is my pro-folio & I’m constantly posting my work. Clients wants to be able to feel that they can trust you to do a great job & trust you with their money.
