Sun Rays Studio is an eco-conscious salon that has the art of tanning down to a tee. Instead of tanning beds, they use the salon’s organic sugar cane spray tan formula imbued with aloe and vitamin E, leaving the skin nourished and glowing. The studio also offers waterless manicures and pedicures, waxing and eyelash extensions. Owner Denise Barrett says she’s moved by this honor from our readers. “It means a lot to me because people speak from their heart,” Barrett says. “That’s how I do my business as well — being honest, doing it truthfully and taking care of every customer and just working hard. The bottom line is integrity.” — EK
