Dava Campbell
I’m Dava Rhodes, retired public school teacher of twenty five years with a passion for people. Being a resident of the coastal Carolinas for over two decades, I recognize the confidence a glowing tan provides. I originally got into tanning over summer breaks and fell in love with helping others put their best self forward. As a mother of five and outdoor enthusiast, I understand the detrimental effects of long term sun exposure and the importance of skin health. Spray tanning provides a safe, healthy alternative while maintaining authenticity. Tanning for four years now, I am beyond grateful to join the Face First team. I am excited to continue to aid clients in enhancing their natural beauty and feeling proud in their skin!
