Kara Holden Featured on the Go Happy Beauty Podcast
Kara Holden, founder of Aglow® Airbrush Tanning, sat down with host Grant Kantsios on the Go Happy Beauty Podcast to share the real story behind building Aglow®—from a tiny New Hampshire town to multiple locations, a franchise model, and an in-house sunless tanning product line.
This episode is part business, part heart: Kara opens up about the moments that shaped her leadership, how community fueled Aglow®’s growth, and why consistency, education, and clean product standards are non-negotiable.
What you’ll hear in the episode
- How a skin cancer scare helped spark Kara’s shift into sunless—and the beginning of Aglow®
- The early grind (think: a tiny space, long days, and family help) and what made Aglow® take off
- Why hiring the right team—and staying consistent across locations—changed everything
- How Aglow® moved into in-house product development and distribution with a “community over corporation” approach
- Kara’s best advice for entrepreneurs: trust your gut, challenge limiting beliefs, and bet on yourself
