What Our Franchisees
Are Saying
- Fort Worth, Texas
First time going to glo for a spray tan. Immediately fell in love with all the amenities! I had gone to Palm Beach Tan a few times for a spray tan and this place blew them out of the water! Whitley helped me with not only making me feel comfortable and welcomed, she easily sold me on getting all the extra lotions and prep products. I don’t feel sticky at all. Highly recommend!
- House Springs, Mo
The spa services are off the charts for the money that you pay monthly. The individual that showed me around was so knowledgeable and hooked me up to what I needed/wanted. They have a bed that has red light, blue light (for hydration) and Tanning all in one. Oh AND it has misting capacity, if you get too hot. It’s just awesome place.
- Wellington, Florida
Team leader Ivy really made me feel welcomed when I walked into glo. She introduced me to the many packages this company has to offer. Ivy and her amazing coworkers have me locked in and I always enjoy seeing the smiles on their face when I walk through the door of glo tanning Wellington.
Our Story
In 2010, Onyi Odunukwe launched the inaugural Glo Tanning salon in Arkansas, expanding the brand to seven locations before deciding to retain ownership of two.
Recognizing the potential for innovation within the industry, Onyi joined forces with fellow multi-unit tanning salon owners Paul Rudnicki and Ambria Hatcher in 2020.
Their collective vision was to revolutionize the tanning salon business by creating a system that simplifies ownership and operations across any number of locations, addressing a critical need for an enhanced experience for owners, employees, and clients alike.
This collaboration led to the development of a seamless operational system over the following years, making Glo Tanning an attractive proposition for both seasoned salon owners looking for growth and new entrepreneurs eager to enter the industry.
Since then, their efforts have catapulted the brand to over 80 locations in less than four years, showcasing the efficacy and appeal of their innovative approach within the tanning industry.
