I'm Ashley Bird - the founder, spray tan artist, and mobile glow specialist behind Sunny Daze Sunless. What started as a side hustle has grown into Lawrence and Kansas City's premier mobile spray tan and ear piercing service. Whether you're a busy professional, a bride prepping for your big day, or a mom who just needs someone to come to you - I'm here to help you live in your light
My story
I didn't set out to build a business around spray tans and a Mercedes Sprinter van. But when you're a single mom with a marketing degree, a knack for building things from scratch, and a deep belief that confidence is everything - sometimes opportunities present themselves in unexpected ways.
Sunny Daze Sunless started as a way to create flexibility and income on my own terms. I converted Gerdy - my 2018 Mercedes Sprinter - into the Midwest's only mobile spray tan van, and hit the ground running. What began serving college students in Lawrence has evolved into something much bigger: a premium mobile service for busy professionals, brides, and women who value both convenience and quality.
With a background in marketing and sales, I understand what it takes to build trust, deliver consistency, and create an experience that goes beyond the service itself. Every client gets the same attention to detail, whether you're booking a last-minute tan before a wedding or maintaining your year-round glow through a membership.
Today, Sunny Daze serves Lawrence and the Kansas City metro area with mobile spray tans, in-studio services, and professional ear piercing. Gerdy still rolls up to driveways, offices, and event venues - but now with a level of sophistication and professionalism that matches the clients I serve.
