This festival season, a SUGARED + BRONZED Tiny Home Pop-Up is coming to Indio, California, to offer expertly applied spray tans and sugaring services. “We have been getting requests about this for years, and this will be our first time being there,” said founder and president Courtney Claghorn. “It's also perfect for anyone who was on the waitlist for a service before going to one of the festivals, because now we'll be available once they are in the desert.”
Enticing festival-goers before and after their Coachella Valley experience, this highly requested activation promises a radiant glow with custom airbrush tans applied by a professionally trained sprayer using a proprietary FlexExpress tanning solution infused with hydrating skincare. Inspired by the ancient, all-natural alternative to waxing, SUGARED + BRONZED also offers a signature hair removal service.
