Radiance on the Move in the Lakes Region
In a world where confidence often starts from the outside in, Katelyn Rickman is helping people both look and feel their best—one flawless tan at a time. As the owner of You Glow Girl LLC, Katelyn has turned a passion for beauty and wellness into a thriving mobile spray tanning business that now spans New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine. And this summer, as You Glow Girl opens its very first in-studio location in Moultonborough, NH, Katelyn’s vision is taking roots.
“I’ve always believed that when you look good, you feel good—and that confidence radiates in every part of your life,” Katelyn says. “I wanted to create more than just a beauty service—I wanted to create an experience that’s welcoming, luxurious, and completely personalized.”
Through that drive to personalize the client experience, a mobile service model was born. With You Glow Girl, clients can enjoy a streak-free, natural-looking tan in the comfort of their own homes—or at any event location of their choosing. For weddings, bachelorette parties, photoshoots, or just a midweek pick-me-up, Katelyn also offers bridal and group packages designed to bring people together and make every occasion glow a little brighter.
And though the tans leave a photo-finish that speaks for itself, there’s heart in Katelyn’s approach that goes beyond the surface level. From post-care guidance to finishing powders and retail products, You Glow Girl ensures every client leaves with results that last—and knowledge to maintain their glow. “We’re not just giving people a tan,” she explains. “We’re giving them confidence, education, and a little bit of luxury, wherever they are.”
The business has grown and gathered a loyal client base, but like any small business owner, Katelyn has had to practice endurance and quick-thinking on her path to success. She transitioned from being a stay-at-home mom to running a full-time business, learning to balance family life with entrepreneurship. “Wearing all the hats—mom, business owner, marketer, service provider—has been intense, but incredibly rewarding,” she says. “Opening our studio is a dream come true, a symbol of hard work, late nights, and never losing faith in the vision.”
With this new location, Katelyn hopes to continue evolving and growing her business—and to make You Glow Girl more than a tanning service. She envisions community events, collaborations with other local businesses, and ways to lift people up—literally and figuratively. Giving back initiatives are in the works, and in the meantime, Katelyn’s dedication to building a welcoming, confidence-boosting space is already leaving an imprint on the Lakes Region community.
And as much as she’s dedicated to giving back to the Lakes Region, Katelyn draws inspiration from it, too. “It’s peaceful, beautiful, and full of heart. The small-town feel and sense of community here is unmatched,” she says. “It’s the perfect place to grow both personally and professionally.”
As the summer sun shines down, Katelyn and You Glow Girl LLC are ready to help the Lakes Region glow along with it. Whether you’re booking a mobile appointment or visiting the new Moultonborough studio, the promise is the same: a flawless tan, a boost of confidence, and an experience that leaves you feeling radiant inside and out.
