Our Story

The Sun Gun Tanning was founded by Teasha Buxton in 2018

Here’s how it all began:

Growing up it was extremely hard for me to gain weight. Everyone called me “little”, or “tiny”, or “small” and while some people might like that… I absolutely hated it! I wanted to be like everyone else, and just have a little bit more of a presence.

I was so small, doctors would always question me about eating disorders and it just made me feel really uncomfortable.

To top that off, I was also really pale! So, I kinda just felt invisible. But one thing that always made me feel better was to have a little bit of color.

My mom had a tanning bed in the closet, so I was always into tanning because I felt like it didn’t make me feel as “little” if that’s even a thing 😆!

When I was first introduced to spray-tanning I absolutely fell in love with the science behind it because I was never a fan of the damage that could come from a tanning bed but silly, young Teasha thought…

"I’m going to die anyway, might as well die tan!” 🤨 so when I found this healthy alternative I just fell completely in love with it.

I initially started off just creating this for myself as a need. I knew I was going to like it. I didn’t know I was going to LOVE it, and love the people, and the whole beauty industry.

That’s really when The Sun Gun was born! What I initially created for myself, I started sharing with the people I loved and it continued to grow. Spray tanning took off and then we introduced the best self-tanning products in 2020!

We offer the best-personalized spray tan in the Idaho Falls area. We specialize in the best UV-free body spray tan. With our tanning packages, you will be sure to find the best one to fit your needs
