Quick Pitch

After seven years of operating our West Campus location and becoming the premier salon in Austin, we are expanding our services to Westlake.  In the past few years our concept has evolved from Aruba Tan to Aruba SunSpa.  Our new location will be more consistet with a high end spa setting offering the very best in UV tanning, Sunless Tanning, Infrared Sauna Therapy, and Esthetic Waxing Services.

Product/Service Details

SUNLESS

When it come to sunless tanning, we are the best!  Our new location will feature more sunless than any of our current locations.  We will offer two Airbrush Tanning rooms and two Norvell Auto Revolution Spray Tan Booths.  We exclusively feature Norvell products and equipment.  We will offer 8 varieties of sunless solution all of which can be customized to your skin tone and desired color.  All of our sunless products contain ORGANIC grade DHA and are gluten-free, paraben-free, and sulfate-free.

UV TANNING

Founded on UV tanning, our new location will have 5 world-class European tanning units.  We will offer a variety of tanning levels, but focus on top of the line High Pressure Tanning Units.  We will also feature a new technology that essentially eliminates the possibility of Sunburn.  The Sun Angel by Ergoline meters your skin and measures the reflectivity to ensure that you do not burn.  During your tanning session, the bed will automatically increase or decrease power to maximize your results and minimize your risks.  It doesn't matter if you are Casper white or beach bronzed, every tanner gets a 20 minute session.

INFRARED SAUNAS

Almost two years ago, we introduced a revolutionary sauna technology to the masses when we added Smartsweat Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas.  Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas use all three portions of the Infrared Spectrum, Near, Mid, and Far, to deliver the following benefits:

Detoxification, Weight Loss, Pain Relief, Blood Pressure Reduction, Improved Circulation, and MORE!

Our customers are RAVING about their results, check out our YELP page to see actual reviews!

WAXING AND ESTHETIC SERVICES

We've always wanted to round out our menu of services but we have never had the space.  In our new location, we are vying to become the best waxing place in Austin!  We will offer full-body waxing services for men and women.  Our esthetician is one of the best in town, she is fast and she is AMAZING at what she does!  As our clientele grows, we are hoping to add new services down the road!

In 2007 Zach left Tiff's Treats to open a new location of the family business, Aruba SunSpa. Having worked at his dad's salon in El Paso throughout high school and during summers; Zach was perfectly situated to run the Austin store. Since then Zach has also started a very successful Christmas light installation business and an Infrared Sauna business called Smartsweat.

He enjoys flying various missions for the Civil Air Patrol and is working on his commercial pilot's license.


Traction & Accomplishments

Aruba SunSpa is widely recognized as one of the top salons in Austin.  We are known for the quality of our service and for being the best salon for an airbrush tan in Austin.  We have been voted the UT Most salon by the daily Texan and have also been recognized as one of the top 250 salons in the United States.

How We're Different

First of all, we are locally owned and operated.  Zach is in the store on a day to day basis ensuring that service is always top notch.  Unlike most tanning salons, Aruba SunSpa has evolved with technology and we have added additional services to become a well-rounded business.  We have added more sunless options with additional airbrush tanning rooms and the Norvell Auto Revolution spray tan booth.  Smartsweat Infrared Saunas have really broadened our reach bringing in all walks of life to experience Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna Therapy.  Last, we will be bringing in an amazing esthetician to offer Full Body Waxing for females and males!  We strive to be the best every day!
