I went to get my very first spray tan this week, and I'll admit, I was nervous. Not because of the tan itself (I had heard amazing things about Recreating Rays), but because being nearly naked in front of a stranger can feel intimidating when you're already self-conscious about your body. Then I noticed a sign on the wall that said I didn't need to apologize for body fat, folds, scars, or stretch marks, and that loving yourself was the first step to flawless results. I teared up reading it, realizing how many women have probably stood in that same room feeling the same way. Thank you, Recreating Rays, for not only giving me a beautiful, natural glow, but also for creating such a safe and empowering space. My body felt worthy exactly as it is and that means more than words can say. read more

I went to the LS location. This was my first spray tan with them. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted with a friendly smile. The check in was simple. The overall process was 20 minutes. Jamie was the person who did my spray tan. She was friendly, ask me questions for what I was wanting, and was very professional. I will definitely be going back for my future spray tans. read more

Recreating Rays Spray Tan Studio - Spray Tanning Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

I recommend Recreating Rays to all of my friends and family who are looking for a spray tan. Everyone working here has always been so friendly and welcoming. Plus, they are all extensively trained making every spray tan a 10/10. I always go here for my spray tan needs + they sell their own line of at-home spray tan products, allowing me to refresh my spray tan at home when needed. I get the rapid spray tan (only have to leave it on for 2-3 hours) but they have other spray tan formula options depending on your needs. read more

I wasn't able to make my $10 training tan appt and I called to let them know. They charged me a no show fee of $25 - now how does that make sense. A $10 fee makes sense not a $25. Poor business practices. read more

I went to the Rivermarket location twice. The first time was in August. I arrived early for my appointment worth Caylie who was not there. I waited and texted after my appointment was supposed to start to let her know I was here. She called me and said she didn't know if I was coming so she "went to go get a soda" and would be back for my appointment. She was about 10 minutes late. The service was fine. I came back today two days before my wedding. I have a lot going on and I was very stressed. I tried my hardest to be on time to my appointment but was running a little late. I was trying to park and Jo started texting me. I was telling her I was coming and trying to get there. She texted me and said if I couldn't be there 10 past then she couldn't help me -- mind you, I'm taking time texting her and seeing she's writing me not knowing if she's going to cancel. I got to the door 11 past and she refused to serve me. She said she wouldn't have time to do the service and she couldn't make her next client late and could take me at one. This is a really stressful day for me trying to get everything done with family in town -- a lot going on. So, I had to wait an hour, but did. I came back early and waited. She was five minutes late to help me with my appointment and it took her 20 minutes. Which tells me, she could have given me the same service if she served me an hour prior and wouldn't have been late for the next client. It made no sense to me. She also told me she "understood" how stressed I was about getting married -- but couldn't give me one minute of leniency on their policy. I went back and could not find this listed on their intake form or on the website. Maybe I missed it but I don't see it. The product is good, but a little kindness and care goes a long way. Brides, if you're looking for some grace and care you may not find it here. A friend recommended this place to me and I'm sad this is what I have to tell her about my experience. read more

The customer service was excellent and the spray tan experience was wonderful! The salon is gorgeous and the ladies made me feel so comfortable- 5 stars for that part of the experience! However, I was very underwhelmed and disappointed with my tan. Not as dark as I was hoping, pretty splotchy, it's my day 2 and my tan already significantly faded. I exfoliated before my appointment, didn't wear deodorant, perfume, or lotion the day of. Waited beyond the recommended 8 hours for the first rinse. Very disappointed for the high price:( read more

I went to the Olathe location. I get spray tans several times a month. I asked to be "very dark" because I had a sales meeting in Hawaii. It did not even look like I got a spray tan for $75.00 when I got home! How did I know? I asked them not to spray my hands or feet because I didn't want to ruin my French mani/pedi and there was not a big difference between what was tanned and what wasn't! I even contacted the salon know about my dissatisfaction and they never contacted me about my experience. I will not go back there again. Don't waste your money here read more

I've gone to re-creating rays for all major events weddings and New Year's Eve parties and it has not disappointed me once. The staff is incredibly friendly and makes you feel comfortable when you are most vulnerable and self-conscious. I would highly recommend this business for anyone! read more

I had one of the worst manicures ever here, which is so unfortunate. My cuticles weren't even touched, the color was so uneven and the shape of my nails where so inconsistent. When I addressed my displeasure, they seemed to think it'd be an easy fix, when in reality the nails needed to be soaked off and done all over again. They weren't able to fit me in for a time that worked with my schedule so they offered a 50% off my next visit, which I find to be ridiculous. I ended up going to a different salon to get my nails re-done and they were FLOORED when I told them the manicure had been 3 days ago. Due to this issue, I also ended up canceling my spray tan. read more

I recently moved to the area and was in need of a spray tan for a trip. Kailey was phenomenal. She made me feel comfortable and was very detailed oriented. She helped explain post care instructions well and helped me decide which type of spray tan to get. I have had custom and booth spray tans and I've never had one look this good! This is my go-to spot now! read more

First time getting a spray tan and I felt at ease and comfortable. Great look and super well done.

Found this spot from one of my clients (and she raves over this spot) and I didn't know you could have such a positive experience from a spray tan. Absolutely perfect when it came to color and comfort. When I imagine what celebs get treated like, this is what I would imagine. Even the lotion application on my hands over the top. Very even fade and I would highly recommend in the future! Thank you! read more

First timer here! I seriously could not say enough good things about Recreating Rays. From the moment I walked in the door to the second I left, they made me feel so comfortable and welcome! I had engagement pics coming up so I decided to try a tan. My tan looked so natural and Sadie didn't made me feel so comfortable! I can't wait to make this a regular thing! read more

I have visited recreating rays twice now and both times was blown away. Their professionalism was amazing. This is especially appreciated when you are feeling vulnerable (naked) getting a spray tan. She did an amazing job and thoroughly explained after care so that I felt completely competent to make my tan last as long as possible. Plus the bonus of having a person preforming your spray tan you will not leave with a tan less inner thigh like I had happen one time at a suntancity spray tan booth. I have also had the joy of getting a waterless gel manicure and my technician Sabrina was amazing and sweet and did a great job!! WILL BE BACK! read more

The BEST custom spray tan I have ever had! They pay such close attention to details including blending certain areas (hands, feet, armpits, etc) with a small brush. I felt so comfortable and my tan turned out amazing. I'm a week in and I still have color. Highly recommend!!! read more

I had an appointment today. My daughter was in an accident and I had to leave on the fly. The team was kind, rescheduled me, and totally understand. In the world today, great customer service is hard to come by. These ladies are top notch!! I will for sure be returning. read more

I felt very comfortable and loved the customer service! The tan was the perfect color and I kept getting compliments on how natural it looked. Definitely coming here again! read more

I have used booths for spray tans and another individual for an airbrush tan. The individual I went to for an airbrush was so bad I thought I would never try another because I really don't mind the booths & have gotten the hang of them (there are definitely tricks!) until a friend recommended Shonna - the owner of Recreating Rays. BY FAR THE BEST SPRAY TAN I HAVE EVER RECEIVED!!! She was extremely professional. I am not a modest person LOL but she still made feel very comfortable. I am not the tiniest thing either but Shonna & I chatted the entire time and she explained everything she was doing and was very clear with her instructions. The tan lasted several days - I followed her suggestions before and after - and we were even at the beach. The best part is the tan faded evenly - no splotches anywhere! I wish I could afford to do this every week! Shonna is obviously passionate about preventing skin cancers:) Adding to my review - I DID buy a membership and Kristen "tanned" me for my last appointment. I was nervous because I was convinced Shonna is the only expert LOL. Kristen was absolutely LOVELY and I am looking forward to my maintaining my beautiful "tan!" I follow their instructions - exfoliating before & use coconut oil after every shower. My tans last 5-7 days! read more

THE BEST SPRAY TAN IN KC! The staff is even better! Look no further and book at Recreating Rays!

the cutest salon!! I've never had a spray done with so much attention to detail. My tan hasn't even fully developed yet and I already know this is going to be my new go to tanning studio. read more

I forgot to make an appointment before our wedding, and they not only made a special appointment for me by staying open late, but, did a FANTASTIC job! The girls were all so helpful and kind (whether on the phone or in person). I will edit when I find paper with names :) I highly recommend them, and will definitely be going back. read more

Super friendly staff. They went through everything to make the tan last. Easy to book online. Very clean facility. Also made me feel very comfortable in the booth. Tan lasted about a week! I will definitely be going back. read more

I got a spray tan here about two months ago, and I can't wait to go back. I went to the Liberty location- it was very private and such a cute boutique style building. Sarah was so wonderful and made me feel comfortable as it was my first airbrush tan! She explained their technique as she was tanning me and that made me more confident in the experience as a whole. It really isn't that high of a cost for the personalized attention and careful work they do!! read more

This place is great! Super friendly staff and they did an amazing job on my spray tan for my wedding. Highly recommend!

After being recommended this place by multiple instagram influencers I tried it out for myself and can say it def lived up to the hype! I have some allergies which were taken very seriously & did not get a reaction from the solution and my tan looks great. read more

I've had a spray tan done before, but this salon is amazing! Regan did my full body spray tan and was super considerate. I was very comfortable and she talked me through the whole process. The tan was very natural, although it did not last long. Luckily, she mentioned that they keep your solution on record so you can easily adjust for next time. Would totally recommend! read more

Shonna and her team are amazing. I felt comfortable the entire time, Kristen explained every step and couldn't have been more professional. I can't stop staring at my glow! read more

Shonna gives the best airbrush tan in Kansas, hands down! I have an airbrush tanning business in Michigan and had her spray me during a trip to KS this fall. Her technique is precise and my color turned out gorgeous. I love her spirit and her energy. Highly recommended :) read more

I have a monthly membership and am extremely happy with Recreating Rays in Overland Park at Solera Salon & Space with Kristen. I have spray tanned all over in Overland Park/Kansas City. This place is above and beyond with best natural spray tan. I trust Kristen and she is great at what she does. I got my spray tan for my wedding here - that's how much I love it! Won't go anywhere else for a tan. Always feel pampered and beautiful after my appointment! read more

Kristen did a great job. She was very thorough, and explained exactly what would happen before, during, and after application. There were special touches that let me know that this is not your typical spray tan; she applied lotion to my hands and feet, she offered me a warm towel soaked in rose water to hydrate my skin, she used a brush to blend in tricky areas, and a final application of body powder to help with the usual sticky feeling. Best part, the color looks super natural. Two thumbs up. read more

Recreating Rays is by far the best spray tan I have ever gotten. I've been going to Shonna for the last 2 years and I refuse to go to anyone else! She makes you feel so unbelievably comfortable and not to mention the results are AMAZING. She is so bubbly and takes great care of all of her clients... I even hesitate to use the word 'client' because she makes you feel like so much more than that! The tans always look so natural and they last for such a long time. Never have I looked orange with Shonna and I'm always beyond satisfied when I see my results. You will not be disappointed with RR! read more

First, I just want to say I would recommend Shonna or Kristen to anyone!! I called at 5:15 yesterday, begging to get me in within the next few minutes, and Shonna went out of her way to fit me in with Kristen. It was also so sweet of Kristen to wait for me even though her last appointment had left. Amazing customer service. Kristen made me feel comfortable, she was super knowledgeable about the process (before and after), and was easy to talk to. And of course, the tan looks amazing. I've gotten probably 30-40 spray tans in my life and I will definitely be going back! read more

Completely satisfied with my tan! I had never had an airbrush tan and had several questions before I wanted to book one for myself. I was able to text my questions and get immediate answers from the owner. I was impressed and signed up. I was given easy instructions and appointment reminders and was even able to send a text and reschedule when my baby sitter canceled. The process was easy and comfortable. My own mother saw me a few days later and complimented me on finally getting some sun. I promptly booked a second tan this time buying a tanning package to start off my summer. I recommend it to anyone. read more

I recently moved to KC and was so upset b/c I had to leave my previous air bush tan lady. When I found Shonna I was SO happy. She is everything I was looking for and more! She sprayed me when I was 9 months pregnant, and I got SO many compliments in the hospital ;) Her attention to detail is amazing... Highly recommend her! read more

I went to recreating rays after deciding I did not want to keep going to the tanning bed. It was my first spray tan and it will not be my last...Shonna made the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable, and my tan was perfect.
