Toronto’s first automated and contactless spray tan and full-body skincare studio is changing how busy clients experience beauty, skincare, and convenience.
In a city where schedules move fast and personal time feels increasingly limited, beauty appointments often become another stressful task on an already packed calendar. For Luna Chowdhury, that frustration sparked a question that would eventually become the foundation of TANNED TO: why should achieving a flawless glow feel inconvenient, uncomfortable, or time consuming?
After spending a decade building her career in corporate tech and finance, Luna recognized an opportunity to modernize an industry that had remained largely unchanged for years. Traditional spray tanning appointments often required coordinating schedules, standing through lengthy sessions, and sacrificing privacy for beauty. Luna believed there was a smarter way to deliver the same confidence boosting results while giving clients more control over their experience.
That idea became TANNED TO, Toronto’s first automated and contactless spray tan and full-body skincare studio. Designed with privacy, speed, and convenience at its core, the business offers a completely self-guided experience that allows clients to enter the studio using a personalized access code, complete their treatment independently, and leave glowing in under 20 minutes.
A New Kind of Beauty Experience
For Luna, the concept was never simply about tanning. It was about redesigning the client experience from beginning to end.
“After a decade of corporate life, I wanted to bring something new to the city that truly improved the client experience from start to finish,” said Luna Chowdhury, Founder of TANNED TO.
Located in Toronto, TANNED TO blends beauty and technology in a way that feels seamless for modern consumers. Upon booking, clients receive temporary passcodes that allow them to enter the studio privately during their session time. Inside, the experience is fully automated.
There are no spray tan artists, no awkward appointments, and no unnecessary waiting times. Clients simply select their preferred option on the automated booth, complete a four-minute spray tan, and can also add a two-minute full-body skincare treatment designed to hydrate and moisturize the skin. The process is efficient, consistent, and tailored to people who value both results and convenience.
Why It Stands Out
The streamlined approach is helping TANNED TO stand out in a traditionally manual industry. While many beauty businesses focus heavily on luxury branding alone, TANNED TO differentiates itself through operational innovation. The company solves real consumer frustrations by combining privacy with efficiency, while still delivering premium skincare benefits.
The response from clients has reinforced that Luna identified a genuine market gap. Today’s consumers increasingly expect frictionless experiences across every aspect of life, from shopping to wellness services. TANNED TO applies that same expectation to beauty, offering an experience that fits naturally into demanding lifestyles.
The company’s modern approach also reflects Luna’s professional background. Her years of experience in operations and marketing helped shape the systems, automation, customer journey, and the brand itself. Rather than treating beauty services as purely transactional, she approached the business through the lens of operational design and customer experience optimization.
Recognition and Growth
That founder led vision is already earning broader recognition. Luna Chowdhury is set to be recognized as a 2026 Business Elite 40 Under 40 honoree for leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurship. The recognition highlights not only her business growth, but also her ability to introduce meaningful innovation into a highly competitive category.
As consumer expectations continue evolving, businesses like TANNED TO demonstrate how technology can improve personal care experiences without sacrificing quality or personalization. The studio’s emphasis on autonomy and efficiency appeals to professionals, students, event-goers, and beauty clients seeking flexibility without compromising results.
What also makes TANNED TO unique is its ability to make luxury beauty services feel approachable and accessible. The self-serve model removes many of the barriers people often associate with spray tanning, including discomfort, scheduling conflicts, and inconsistency. Clients can move through the experience confidently, privately, and quickly, whether they are first time visitors or experienced tanning clients who can complete the process in as little as 10 minutes.
As the brand continues to grow, Luna remains focused on expanding the company’s reach while preserving the customer experience. The business is also beginning to explore future franchise opportunities, creating a pathway for entrepreneurs interested in bringing the concept to new markets.
For clients seeking a more modern way to achieve a flawless glow, TANNED TO represents more than a beauty appointment. It reflects a shift toward smarter, more efficient self care designed around how people actually live today.
