Our Mission At Maple & Bronze
At Maple & Bronze, we believe a spray tan should be more than simply walking in pale and walking out bronze. It should be an experience you genuinely look forward to; A little moment for yourself where you can relax, feel taken care of, and leave feeling like the most confident version of you.
Our mission is to obsess over the details. From the solution that touches your skin to the way your color develops, every part of your tan is intentionally chosen and customized to create a result that looks like you; Just sun-kissed and glowing! We’re passionate about using thoughtfully selected, skin-conscious ingredients and taking the time to understand exactly what you want from your tan rather than giving every client the same shade and calling it a day.
Because the goal was never to make you look like you have a spray tan. The goal is to make people wonder if you just got back from a tropical vacation!
We want every appointment at Maple & Bronze to leave an impression. Not just because you love the way your tan looks, but because of how you felt while you were here. Confident. Comfortable. Beautiful. Completely yourself.
That is the Maple & Bronze standard: an elevated experience, a carefully crafted tan, and a glow that feels unmistakably yours.
Meet the Owner/ Founder
Hi, I’m Angel, the face behind Maple & Bronze!
Born and raised in New Jersey, where tanning is practically a lifestyle, I’ve always had a love for a beautiful, bronzed glow. My obsession started around the age of 12, when all the girls at school and dance were showing up to class with some VERY dark spray tans. Naturally, I begged (and begged, and begged!) my parents to let me get my first spray tan. Let’s just say those first few experiences were far from flawless. Think orange, streaky, greasy, and everything in between! But through years of trial and error, countless self-tanning sessions, and making a weekly glow part of my routine, I eventually mastered the art of a beautiful, natural-looking tan.
My passion for sunless tanning became deeply personal after spending a few summers in high school and college using tanning beds. That chapter of my life ultimately led to a stage III melanoma diagnosis in my arm. Thankfully, it was successfully removed, but the experience forever changed my relationship with tanning. I made the decision to leave UV tanning behind and embrace sunless tanning for good. Today, that journey is at the heart of Maple & Bronze. I believe that everyone deserves to feel beautiful, confident, and bronzed without compromising their skin's health. My approach is intentional, clean, and rooted in providing beautiful, customized results using carefully selected sunless tanning solutions.
After trading my New Jersey roots for life in Northwest Indiana with my fiancé and our cats, I turned my lifelong love for tanning into Maple & Bronze. What began as a personal passion has blossomed into a business that allows me to help women look and feel their absolute best, one glow at a time. Being known as NWI’s Spray Queen is something I never could have imagined as that little girl begging her mom for a spray tan!
When I’m not busy bronzing my beautiful clients, you can find me spending time with my fiancé and our cats, cooking up a hearty meal, spending time in the Word, or drinking lots (and I mean LOTS) of coffee to fuel my busy days.
Maple & Bronze is so much more than a spray tan to me. It’s about confidence, self-care, and proving that you never have to sacrifice your skin’s health for a beautiful glow. I can’t wait to be a part of your glow journey.
