The Town of Gorham is proud to welcome GLOW Tanning & Wellness to its growing community of innovative businesses. Located at 593 Main Street, this new facility expands beyond traditional tanning to introduce cutting-edge wellness therapies that combine modern technology with holistic health benefits.
Founded in 2018 in South Portland, GLOW has built a reputation for redefining what a tanning spa can be. With its new Gorham location, owners Donato and Angela Apon are broadening access to services that support skin health, stress relief, muscle recovery, and overall well-being.
GLOW’s offerings are designed to fit individual lifestyles with customizable options that go beyond the typical tanning experience. At the new Gorham facility, residents can access:
- UV & Sunless Tanning Options – GLOW offers advanced tanning technology, including the P9S Hybrid Bed, which blends UV, red light, and blue light for a balanced approach to skin support. For a sunless glow, clients can choose between the quick, customizable VersaPro Spray Tan booth or a personalized airbrush application by a skilled technician.
- SmartSun Red Light Therapy Bed (SST28) – FDA-registered technology that promotes joint comfort, circulation, and recovery.
- Infrared Cocoon Wellness Pod – an immersive experience combining infrared heat, vibratory massage, aromatherapy, and salt air to relieve stress.
- HaloIR Dry Salt Infrared Halotherapy Sauna – offering benefits for respiratory health, immunity, and skin conditions such as acne or psoriasis.
- Poly Red Light Therapy – medical-grade technology that supports collagen rebuilding, cellular repair, and skin rejuvenation.
With this expansion, GLOW aims to make wellness therapies more accessible by offering flexible, all-inclusive memberships as well as student-focused promotions. These efforts reflect a commitment to not only personal care but also to community well-being.
“This is not your typical tanning salon,” said owner Donato Apon. “Our goal is to go beyond aesthetics — we want our services to enhance overall wellness, whether that’s easing stress, supporting skin health, or providing recovery options for active lifestyles.”
The Gorham opening marks GLOW’s second location and further expands the Town’s growing list of health and wellness offering a variety of treatment options and alternatives. By blending beauty and wellness with state-of-the-art technology, GLOW is helping to shift perceptions of tanning and create new opportunities for residents to incorporate wellness into their daily routines.
