Meet Madison
📍 Utah
Madison Orchard is the Founder and Head Artist of The Sunless Bar, with a passion for spray tanning that started when she was just 11 years old. What began as a childhood obsession with getting the perfect competition tan grew into a 15+ year love for sunless tanning, backed by education, experience, and a deep respect for skin health.
Before founding The Sunless Bar, Madison built a career in creativity and storytelling as a wedding photographer and later spent 2.5 years at Adobe. Her background in creativity, strategy, and structure continues to shape the way she approaches both artistry and business today.
While at Adobe, Madison launched her first sunless tanning brand, Maddie Liz Tans, which grew into a trusted business with a loyal clientele, including celebrities from SLOMW and RHOSLC. Through years of hands-on experience working with hundreds of clients and artists, she developed a deep belief that sunless tanning should be personalized, educational, and skin-first.
Today, Madison brings that passion and knowledge to The Sunless Bar, where she works with both clients and artists to help them feel confident, educated, and empowered in their glow.
As an educator, Madison is supportive, real, and motivating. She especially loves watching the moment everything clicks—when an artist goes from unsure and second-guessing themselves to feeling confident in their skills and excited about what they can build.
Her mission is simple: help more people succeed while raising the standard of the sunless tanning industry.
Meet Stevie
📍 Texas
Stevie is the Founder of Bronzologist Academy, with a passion for sunless tanning that began in 2014. As a fair-skinned woman who experienced a melanoma scare, traditional tanning was no longer an option, leading her to discover spray tanning—and eventually turn that passion into a thriving career.
What started as a part-time mobile spray tan business quickly grew from renting space in other salons to owning her own brick-and-mortar business. Today, Stevie leads an incredible team of eight talented women, has her own sunless product line, and runs Bronzologist Academy, where she trains and certifies aspiring spray tan artists.
Throughout her career, Stevie has had the opportunity to spray tan local celebrities, including Kellie Rasberry from KISS FM, Mrs. America 2021, and members of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. One of her career highlights was spray tanning Lainey Wilson for the ACM Awards in both 2023 and 2024.
In 2020, Stevie used the downtime during COVID to finally create the training program she had envisioned for years. Drawing from years of hands-on experience, trial and error, and lessons learned along the way, she built a program designed to be the training she wished she had when she first started spraying in 2014.
Since founding Bronzologist Academy, Stevie has trained more than 70 women through hands-on, in-person courses at her salon.
As an educator, Stevie is experienced, encouraging, and passionate about helping women succeed. She loves sharing the knowledge she’s gained throughout her journey and helping artists build the skills and confidence they need to create a successful career in the sunless tanning industry.
Her mission is simple: give aspiring spray tan artists the education, experience, and confidence she wishes she had when she was just starting out.
