Vanessa & Her Story
AK Wellness & Tanning was founded in 2018 with a simple mission: to make effective, science-backed wellness solutions accessible to everyone. As an Army Veteran, I built this business on the values of integrity, education, and personalised care, with a commitment to helping people improve their health, confidence, recovery, and overall quality of life through natural and evidence-informed therapies.

Over the years, I have pursued advanced certifications in light therapy, peptide education, compression therapy, pressotherapy, infrared wellness, and body rejuvenation treatments to ensure our clients receive knowledgeable guidance and trusted support. Today, AK Wellness & Tanning offers a comprehensive approach to wellness, combining innovative therapies and medically guided programs …

This is a very well rounded facility. So many options to choose from. Very clean and friendly staff. If you haven’t tried the cold plunge or red light it’s a must!

I first started going tanning here when they were in their old building, when I tell you it was the best experience i could have imagined. I’ve always struggled with acne and when they explained the cleaning process and how the tanning beds work I felt so safe to be committed to this tanning salon. The owner is the sweetest, matter of fact they are all so sweet and welcoming. 10/10 always!!

Clean beds and rooms. Vanessa helped me choose the best hybrid lotion for red-light and tanning. Super knowledgeable and informative on all products and services offered! Vanessa & Katie are super welcoming. Great place to relax and unwind. Wellness pods are a must!

I enjoy my time and session EVERY-TIME I go in. They make you feel so welcomed! If I could give them a 10 star I would! Thank you !

All Peptide Therapy programs require a consultation, you can schedule using our online booking found at: https://akwellness.glossgenius.com

We accept HSA and FSA cards in addition to accepting Google Pay, Apple Pay, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express (AMEX).

We accept appointments and walk ins, however, appointments are highly recommended. The best way to schedule is texting the salon phone: (907)283-2299, please include your first and last name so we can pull up your account.

If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment you must call at least an hour before your appointment, we do ask that you give us as much notice as possible so we can try to fill that time slot. We will hold your appointment time for five minutes past your scheduled time.
Example: if you have a 2pm appointment we will hold your slot until 2:05pm, if you are not here by 2:05pm then your spot will be given away. You will be considered a No-Show if you miss your scheduled appointment or are excessively late. After two No-Shows you will no longer be authorized to schedule appointments and will only be able to do walk-ins. Aqua Pod no-shows will be charged 50% of a single session cost for all no-shows due to the 30 minutes of preparation involved prior to the session.

You can find our pricing under the "Services" tab on our website and pinned to the top of our Facebook page.
