My Story

Hi! I’m Kelli – a proud Elk Grove native, mom, and the founder of Helios Artistry Tans, where we specialize in custom airbrush spray tans and professional teeth whitening for the Sacramento and surrounding areas.

​

Spray tanning has always been more than just a beauty routine for me—it’s been a personal form of self-care. Whether I was heading out of town or simply needed a little pick-me-up, a good spray tan gave me that extra boost of confidence and glow. After having kids, like so many women, I started feeling self-conscious in my own skin—especially after developing spider veins at a young age from years on my feet in the restaurant industry (culinary is my background!). Spray tanning helped me feel confident again and made a real difference in how I showed up in my everyday life. That feeling is exactly what I want to give to every client who walks through my doors.

​

Teeth whitening became a passion of mine after years of staining (yes, I’m a Coca-Cola girl!) and sensitivity issues with over-the-counter strips. I discovered a peroxide-based method that actually worked without destroying my gums, and I fell in love. Now I keep my smile bright with regular sessions—and help others do the same.

I’ve had the joy of spray tanning women from ages 10 to 80, and I can confidently say: there is no age limit on feeling good in your skin. My salon is a judgment-free zone where you can come as you are, be pampered, and leave feeling refreshed, radiant, and ready to take on the world.

​

At Helios, it’s not just about looking great—it’s about feeling empowered, natural, and confident. I’d love for you to come in, meet me, and experience the luxury of a personalized tan and teeth whitening session that’s tailored just for you.

​

Let’s glow together. ✨
