Hi, I’m Ivy. I do things a little differently.
Hi, I’m Ivy. I do things a little differently.
With nearly two decades of experience in the beauty industry, I’ve built my career on a foundation of expertise, passion, and precision. I’ve previously owned two high-end tanning salons in Northwest Indiana and now work full time in education with INNOVÉ Beauty & Wellness, where I specialize in training and mentoring professionals in the art of sunless tanning.
I’m proud to be an educator for Norvell Sunless, and I hold numerous industry certifications—including the title of Advanced Master Artist. This distinction reflects my in-depth understanding of sunless science and a proven technique that delivers flawless, stage-ready color with minimal inconvenience.
I honed my skills in salon settings and now bring that high-end, spa-quality experience directly to competitors. From client care to professional sanitation, my team and I are committed to providing high-performance stage tans that showcase your hard work and leave you feeling confident and camera-ready.
Trust the process—you’re in expert hands.

Friday, August 15, 2025 – Base Tan Appointments
Appointments will take place at the host hotel:
Holiday Inn | Bensenville, IL 60106
Phone: 630-475-8181
Our team will be set up in a conference room just off the hotel lobby. Hotel staff will be available to direct you to the tanning area.
Saturday, August 16, 2025 – Show Day Touch-Ups
All touch-ups will be done backstage at the Athenaeum Center. We perform touch-ups in order of stage appearance, and you will receive an approximate time during your base tan appointment on Friday.
Our Process
Our Process
We begin applying base tans on Friday afternoon and evening by appointment at the host hotel. Appointments start at 1:00 PM, with the last appointment at 8:30 PM. The earlier your tan is applied, the more time it has to set and develop, which leads to deeper color and improved durability—giving you the best possible stage look.
We’re committed to offering a comfortable, professional, and private tanning experience. All tanning is done in private spaces, with separate areas designated for men and women to ensure everyone’s comfort and privacy.
On Show Day, we’re backstage with you the entire time. Touch-ups are done in show order, so there’s no need to book a time—we’ll call you by class for touch-ups as needed. No matter how many times you step on stage, we’ll be there to ensure your tan stays flawless. We’ll also take care of posing glaze application and suit gluing as part of your package.
Our team remains on-site all day and doesn't leave until the last competitor has taken the stage—because your final impression matters just as much as your first.
