LOS ANGELES-- SUGARED + BRONZED, a sugaring and sunless tanning brand, announced the opening of its 50th location.
SUGARED + BRONZED was founded by Courtney Claghorn in 2010 when she began airbrushing clients in her apartment during lunch breaks and after work. It evolved into a thriving business that helped bring sunless tanning and sugaring into the mainstream beauty conversation.
“When I started spray tanning clients in my apartment, I never imagined we'd one day be celebrating our 50th store! This is a testament to our incredible team and loyal clients and we're excited for the opportunities ahead as we continue expanding into new markets, introducing more people to our services," Claghorn shares.
SUGARED + BRONZED's first storefront opened in Santa Monica in 2012. Claghorn grew the business through disciplined reinvestment, profitability and a commitment to affordable luxury. She opened 10 locations before taking on outside investment in 2019. The 50-store milestone reflects more than geographic growth, it has also created employment opportunities for more than 600 women and continues to expand its team as demand for specialized services grows nationwide.
“While our 50th store is an exciting milestone, what I'm most proud of is the community we've built along the way. We've created opportunities for hundreds of women across the country and fostered a culture centered on growth, education, and exceptional client care. Our people have always been the foundation of our success, and this achievement belongs to every member of our team,” Claghorn says.
SUGARED + BRONZED revolutionized airbrush tanning with a proprietary solution. It was built around specialization, with all estheticians and technicians trained in-house to deliver a consistent experience at every location. Looking ahead, the company remains focused on expanding access to its services while continuing to invest in its people, clients, and communities.
