Exploring Life & Business with Ashley Butler of Radiance Haven Tanning & Wellness

Today we’d like to introduce you to Ashley Butler.

Hi Ashley, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I fell in love with the tanning and wellness industry at a young age. The idea of helping people feel their very best in their own skin has always inspired me. Over time, what started as a simple interest grew into a dream of creating a space where clients could feel confident, relaxed, and truly taken care of.

We started the journey with nothing more than a concrete floor and four walls. It was truly a humbling and rewarding experience bringing the space to life. I loved being part of every step—designing it, adding personal touches, and turning it into something really special. My goal was always to create an environment where everyone who walks through the door feels welcomed, comfortable, and able to take a moment for themselves.

The most meaningful part of this journey has been the people. Our clients have become like family to me, and in many ways they’ve welcomed me into their lives as well. Being able to connect with them, celebrate milestones, hear their stories, and help them feel confident is what makes all of this so special.

What started as a dream has grown into something far more meaningful than I ever imagined, and I’m incredibly grateful for every person who walks through our doors.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Like any business, it definitely hasn’t always been a smooth road. There were many late nights and plenty of blood, sweat, and tears along the way. Between plumbing, electrical work, and all the other construction that went into building the space, it was definitely a busy crew. But throughout the entire process, my intention always stayed the same—to create something great for our customers. I was also incredibly fortunate to have so much love and support from the people around me, and at the end of the day, it has all been so worth it.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
We are a tanning and wellness business built around the idea that when you look good, you feel great too. From the very beginning, my goal has been to create a space where people feel welcomed, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. Customer service has always been at the top of my priority list, and we put a lot of intention into making sure every person who walks through our doors has a positive experience.

Our services include UV tanning, spray tanning, and red light therapy, and we are always working to grow and evolve within the industry. We make it a priority to continue learning, expanding our knowledge, and staying up to date so we can be the most reliable and knowledgeable resource for our clients.

What truly makes our business special, though, is our customers. We have the absolute best clients. Each person who comes in has their own story and their own unique personality, and they are some of the greatest people I’ve ever had the privilege of meeting. I’m so grateful to be even a small part of their day.

Brand-wise, what I’m most proud of is the community that has grown within our space. It’s more than just a tanning salon—it’s a place where people can come to relax, recharge, and leave feeling a little more confident. That sense of connection and trust with our clients is what means the most to me and continues to inspire everything we do.
