About us
A sunless tan for every body.
Nuyu is an in-studio + mobile spray tanning service based in Vancouver, BC. Founder, Megan Angus, created Nuyu with a mission to increase accessibility to self-improvement through the magic of spray tanning.
Megan understands the desire for a radiant, sun-kissed glow, and with skin sensitivity to the sun and a family history of skin cancer, the traditional sunbathing route wasn't in the cards for her. She embraced self-tanning products from her teen years, and in her mid-20s stumbled upon the flawless application and confidence-boosting wonders of spray tanning.
Driven by the gap in luxury spray tan artists in Vancouver, Megan birthed Nuyu. We offer in-studio and mobile appointments (we come to you) that are quick, fun, convenient and customized to suit your individual needs. Prepare to glow in less than half an hour! The Nuyu commitment to quality and detail is unparalleled and ensures a seamless application – no streaks or missed spots. Nuyu is more than just a spray tan; it's a confidence and self-esteem boost that lasts anywhere from 5-10 glorious days, depending on your pre + post care.
At Nuyu, we believe in a "new you" with every spray, because nothing says fresh start like a flawless, healthy glow. Reserve your appointment and let the transformative power of Nuyu speak for itself.
What to expect
New to Nuyu?
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what to expect from your spray tanning appointment.
For mobile appointments - One of our spray tanning experts will arrive promptly at your location for your personalized session, which unfolds in the comfort of your own home. No need to set up a dedicated space ahead of time- we bring a discreet pop-up tent, ensuring cleanliness and privacy throughout the spray tan process.
For in-studio appointments - The studio is in the Abrams Block building at 210 Carrall Street. Suite 301. I am right across from Le Labo parfumerie and right in between the Smith's Irish Pub and the Blarney Stone Pub. Look for the black door with a gate and the intercom is on the left. The buzzer number is 0301. When you gain entry just go up the stairs and it's the second door on your left. Also, be aware of ongoing construction in the area. If you're driving, allocate some extra time, especially during peak hours, as parking might be a tad challenging to find. There is pay parking along Cordova and the surrounding streets but can be challenging at times to find a good spot. Sometimes, during peak times, its best to Uber. Can't wait to see you soon!
What to expect:
1. The consultation: In order to help determine which solution will be used and how we will customize it to get your glow just right, based on how long you can wear the spray tan for (before washing) and how dark you want to be.
What you wear during your spray is up to you – whether it's a bathing suit, a disposable salon thong, or your birthday suit. If you have a 🍌, we do ask you to keep it covered. Remember to plan ahead and consider your desired tan lines carefully!
2. The Process: We’ll start the session off by prepping your skin with a ph balancing prep spray, and protect all surfaces where the tan commonly clings to (finger and toe nails, palms, etc) with barrier cream. After you’re prepped, we’ll guide you through a series of quick and easy postures for all those hard-to-reach areas (inner thighs, underarms, under the bum/breasts etc). After 1-2 coats of spray tan solution, I will dry make sure you are dry and inspect every corner and crevice for creasing or streaking. We execute touch-ups by hand with makeup brushes for tip-top service that extends beyond the traditional spray-tan tech.
*Be sure to read up on our post-care instructions after your appointment to make the most of your glow.
