Heather Souther Hicks
Owner + Spray Tan Gunslinger
Heather is the owner at Safely Sunning, a custom spray tan studio in Downtown Topeka, built around expert color, premium products, thoughtful service, and a deeply personal client experience.
Heather has been part of the beauty industry since 2004 and brought her background in hair color formulation into the world of custom spray tanning. That experience shaped the way she approaches every tan: with an understanding of undertones, color balance, customization, and the belief that no two clients should be treated exactly the same.
At Safely Sunning, Heather is passionate about creating beautiful, natural-looking spray tans using premium formulas selected with ingredient quality and skin-conscious care in mind. She believes exceptional results come from more than great products alone, which is why training, technique, consultation, and attention to detail are at the center of the Safely Sunning experience.
Heather also understands that spray tanning can feel incredibly vulnerable. Clients are often standing in front of a spray tan artist wearing very little, sometimes feeling self-conscious about their bodies or nervous about the process. She takes that trust seriously. Creating a private, respectful, judgment-free environment where every client feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for is one of the most important parts of her work.
Body confidence and self-love have always been central to Heather’s philosophy. Her goal is never to make someone feel like they need to change who they are. Instead, she wants each client to leave feeling more confident, more comfortable in their own skin, and completely valued for who they already are.
As both a spray tan artist and business owner, Heather is equally committed to the artists on her team. She places a strong emphasis on education, continued training, consistency, and maintaining the high standards that have become part of the Safely Sunning name.
Outside of Safely Sunning, Heather is a salon owner, entrepreneur, and mom to Brendan, Camden, Harper, and Aniston alongside her husband, Casey. Building businesses while raising a family has strengthened her commitment to growth, leadership, and creating a life she is proud of.
Heather believes the more you learn, the more you can teach, and the more people you can positively impact. That mindset continues to guide both her life and the culture at Safely Sunning.
