At first, a mobile spray tan business in Rapid City, South Dakota, terrified Tana. The thought of what others would think and if she'd just be a laughing topic of conversation almost hindered Tana from opening her business. After doing some research of the demographics, she realized that the Black Hills hosted a plethora of bridal clients, as well as those who traveled South during the brutal six months of winter, and it became clear that this dream could possibly become a successful reality.

Tana wanted to make sure that she took every step to make her business stand out and be taken seriously. She did a deep dive on the best courses for becoming certified, the best solutions on the market, and obtaining an LLC, as well as all legalities for running a small business in South Dakota. In December 2022, she certified with a company in Austin, Texas, registered for her LLC, built a website through multiple late nights of youtube tutorials, and officially began booking clients in March of 2023. 

The name BohoGLO came from Tana's love of all things Bohemian both in interior and fashion styles, as well as the feeling the word boho gave her. She wanted her tans to make others feel not only confident and beautiful, but also as if they had literally just left their sunless session from a tropical island in a boho beachside bungalow.

All of the late nights, tears, and fearful doubts were erased when BohoGLO became booked and busy. By summer 2023, and after countless miles on the road to mobile tans all over the Northern and Southern Black Hills, Tana felt the pull of finding a brick and mortar location to offer clients a place to come get spray tanned at. In August of 2023, she signed a lease in her dream studio above J'Leone hair salon located a block off of downtown Rapid City. 

While owning a small business has been both rewarding and fulfilling, it has also been lonely and isolating at times. Connecting and networking with other individuals, especially women, in the entrepreneurial and small business world has been at the top of Tana's priorities since she first launched BohoGLO. The support from others who are also figuring out what it takes to stay above water with their business has been both encouraging and life-giving for Tana. 

It is never easy or comfortable to enter into a room full of strangers for anyone, but Tana reminds herself and others constantly that there is growth in the discomfort and uneasiness. It is opportunities like Women&Co here in the Black Hills, the Dolce Grow and Glow Summit in LA, California, where she networked and trained alongside celebrity spray tan artists, and a week spent at the Glazed Babes Sunless retreat in Scottsdale, Arizona, with the creater and CEO of BohoGLO's most used solution line, that Tana has found her biggest inspiration and moments of flourishing breakthroughs for her business. 

March 3, 2025, will mark two years of being in business for BohoGLO. If Tana has learned anything in those two short years, it is to set boundaries and prioritize yourself first and foremost. Take care of and provide the best service possible to every single client whether you think they will be repeats or not. And to never, ever stop learning. No matter how great one thinks they are at something, there is always more to discover and improve upon.

Wynter | Women & Co. Founder

Tana Kurz is a certified Spray Tan artist and the founder of BohoGLO Studio and Mobile Airbrush tanning located downtown Rapid City. Although she was born and raised in Texas, the Black Hills have been her home with her husband and three children since 2016. Tana attended Texas State University in San Marcos, Tx, where she met and fell in love with her now husband, Alex. College was way too much fun, and then love got the best of her, which resulted in her running away to Georgia where she married and had her first baby. Although raising babies and staying at home had its own beautiful perks and awards, after 10 years she found herself longing for something more and a purpose outside of motherhood. 

It was one fateful night of dooms scrolling on Instagram that brought her across an account of a mobile spray tan artist's business. Tana is no stranger to the world of self tanning and spray tans, as she is someone who loves a good tan. Unfortunately for her she has a skin type that is freckled, snow white and turns immediately red at the first ray of sunshine that touches her skin. Add a spray tan that instanly transforms skin without the sun damage and risk of possible cancer, and one's confidence is skyrocketed through the roof. Makeup and cute clothes or nothing but a birthday suit, there is power in having bronzed, glowing skin from a fresh spray tan.
