Need a flawless tan for that perfectly bronzed look? Try Miss Madison's, the tanning boutique in Madison Valley opened by former financial analyst Kari Ambrose. She offers a bronzed body without those nasty UV rays in under a minute for just $30. Step into the "Magic Tan" spray booth and 36 nozzles will disperse a fine mist of instant color into all of those hard-to-reach nooks and crannies (providing you assume the right position).

Gorgeously golden herself, Ambrose says she can keep her color for a week using one of her own tan extenders (conveniently available for purchase in the boutique). If you like the effect and want to have that sun-kissed-vacationing-on-Fiji-in-December look, buy the five-tan package for $135 or 10-tan package for $250.

In addition to a perfect tan, you'll find gifts and girl goodies in the cozy boutique, including intimate apparel, cosmetics, custom scented body butters, self-tanning solutions and cute vinyl dog collars in floral prints made by Ambrose.
