Located at 118 Center St. in Woodland Park, the salon got its start when owner Stephanie Fearer decided she wanted to offer residents a full-service tanning salon, something that wasn’t available to customers for miles.

 “My mom and I own a construction company, so I had the knowledge and experience of how to grow a business from the ground up,” Fearer said. “I also know a lot of the people in town and that contact base really helped in getting the salon started.” 

Fearer’s contact base had also been developing over the years – her family settled in the Woodland Park area nearly two centuries ago. After buying the building for her salon, Fearer soon found out that it was growing its roots in a place that had particular family value. “My great-grandparents actually used to live in the house that I now have my salon in,” she said. “So this salon really is a family business now.” 

During her research around town to find out what customers wanted in a salon, she also researched tanning beds. “I looked at several different companies that offered tanning beds and I really liked the look of the beds at ETS Tan,” Fearer said. “The ETS Tan beds have a lot of great functions to get customers the best tan possible. The superior quality and excellent service made ETS Tan the perfect choice.” 

Mya’s Island Tanning and Massage carries a full line of tanning beds manufactured by ETS Tan, including the SolarForce 652V, Solaris 442 and Solaris 542. These beds are powered by Wolff® system lamps and have advanced after-tan cooling systems. 

Also offered at the salon is ETS Tan’s Rejuvasun Spa bed, which features revolutionary light technology offering customers beauty treatments and tanning all in one single unit. Clients can experience beauty-enhancing light therapy sessions only, tanning only or combine both in one 20-minute session. 

The salon is operated using software designed by Helios LLC, a sister company to ETS Tan that is a leader in providing tanning salon management and customer data software.  

Mya’s Island Tanning and Massage has massage services available as well as a sunless tanning option, VersaSpa™ by MagicTan®. The salon provides customers with convenient tanning hours, open 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. 

“With every massage or tan we offer a bottle of water to our customers,” Fearer said. “We know all our clients by name already and offer a great quality tan for an affordable price. We treat everybody just like family.”
