Meet Christina Shniffer
Owner, BlushTan® WELLESLEY + Westborough | Founder, blushtan®
Christina Shniffer is the founder of blushtan® and the proud owner of the brand's two flagship studios in Wellesley and Westborough, Massachusetts.
What started in 2010 as a personal mission to find a natural-looking spray tan for her fair skin quickly grew into something much bigger. Frustrated by the lack of quality sunless tanning options, Christina opened the very first blushtan® studio in Wellesley with a simple goal: to help real people look and feel their best with beautiful, natural-looking results.
Over the past 16 years, Christina has grown blushtan® from a single studio into an established brand with independently owned locations across the country. Along the way, she's developed signature spray tanning products, created professional training programs, and built the BlushBoss™ licensing program to help other women achieve their own dreams of business ownership.
Despite the brand's growth, Christina remains passionate about the local communities where it all began. As a business owner, entrepreneur, and mom of three, she understands the importance of building a business that supports the life you want to live. Her philosophy remains rooted in the same values that inspired blushtan® from day one: genuine connections, empowering women, and helping people feel confident in their own skin.
The original blushtan®, established in 2010! Our Wellelsey spray tan studio offers custom, natural looking results for all skin tones. Get a flawless glow in minutes using blushtan® organic-based solutions + skincare. This studio is locally owned + operated. Proudly serving Wellesley, Weston, Newton, Natick, Needham, and surrounding communities
good to know
everything you need to know before your visit
When should I book my tan for an event?
We recommend booking 2 days before your event to allow time for your initial rinse and a second shower with a sunless-safe cleanser to wash away the cosmetic bronzer. This gives your tan time to fully develop for a beautiful, natural-looking glow!
What should I do before my appointment?
Exfoliate and shave at least 12 hours before your appointment. Come with clean, dry skin and avoid lotion, deodorant, perfume, oils, and makeup before your tan. For the best results, we recommend doing all of your prep the night before!
What should I wear during and after my tan?
During your tan, wear whatever you’re most comfortable in! That can be completely nude, underwear, or a bra and underwear — there’s no right or wrong choice.
After your tan, we recommend loose, dark clothing and flip-flops to avoid rubbing or transferring the solution while it develops. Think oversized and comfy!
When will my tan fully develop?
No matter which solution you choose, all of our tans take 24 hours to fully develop.
Don’t panic if your tan looks lighter after your initial rinse — that’s completely normal! The cosmetic bronzer you see immediately after your spray is designed to wash off, while your actual tan continues to develop underneath.
Your full color will be fully developed 24 hours after you were sprayed.
