About the course
Spray tanning is one of the quickest treatments you can add to your beauty business: around 20 minutes per client, with results that last 7–10 days. On this one-day Spray Tan Training Course, Emma teaches you one-to-one in her private academy in Portglenone, County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
You’ll learn how to consult and prepare your client, set up and clean the machine, find the correct spray flow and apply an even, natural-looking tan. Emma demonstrates a full spray tan on a live model, then you carry out your own spray tan on a second model and are assessed.
You go home with an ABT-accredited certificate, a kit including a 1-litre bottle of professional tanning solution, private access to Emma’s spray tan video library, and the pricing, costings and 30-day business plan to start taking paying clients.
