Solara Boutique & Tanning opened in 2017 with a simple goal: to create a place where women could feel confident, beautiful, and genuinely welcomed. Nearly nine years later, the Montgomery business has grown into a trusted destination for UV tanning, custom spray tanning, and boutique shopping. Owner Abbie Mercer has built Solara around the belief that people remember how you make them feel, creating an environment where customers are treated like family and every visit is personal.
Solara specializes in UV tanning and custom spray tanning for everything from vacations and weddings to everyday life. The business has also expanded its offerings with a carefully curated boutique featuring clothing, accessories, gifts, and seasonal favorites chosen to reflect timeless style. With an emphasis on cleanliness, customer education, and a relaxing experience, Solara’s team takes the time to get to know its customers, celebrate their milestones, and make each person feel appreciated from the moment they walk through the door.
That commitment to its customers has helped Solara continue growing while staying true to the relationships at the heart of the business. One recent milestone was a complete renovation of the salon, creating a more modern, beautiful, and welcoming space. The business has also expanded its services with mobile spray tanning, bringing its custom experience directly to bridal parties, sorority events, and other special occasions throughout the community. For Mercer, the greatest measure of success is not simply growth, but the continued trust and support of the customers who have been part of Solara’s journey.
Looking ahead, Solara Boutique & Tanning plans to continue evolving through new boutique collections, exciting products, and continued investment in its tanning services. For Mercer, who describes owning Solara as one of the greatest blessings of her life, the focus will always remain on genuine connection and exceptional service. As a wife, mom, and small business owner, she understands the value of community and strives to make every customer feel like family. Through consistency, hard work, a dedicated team, and a commitment to putting customers first, Solara is continuing to grow while preserving the personal experience that has defined the business since 2017.
