FAQs

My client has loose skin, can I do a spray tan?
Absolutely, during our spray tanning course we ensure that all our students are trained to cater to all different body types, so you will feel confident to give your client the best service possible.
Why does the base colour matter in spray tan?
The base colour is designed to counteract the body’s natural undertone, so for example, if your client has a pink undertone to their skin, you will want to use a green based spray tan. The green will help to neutralise the pink giving you a bronzed look.
What will I need to purchase after the class to be able to complete a spray tan from home?
Spray tan machine, spray tan tent or booth, dark towels, spray tan solution, disposable g-string, disposable sticky feet, disposable hair nets and tanning mitt or kabuki brush.
What is the before care for models?
Client must exfoliate 24hrs before tanning service.
Client must have all waxing must be performed 48 hrs prior to tanning.
Client must have shaving must be done at least 8 hours prior to tanning.
Client must arrive with no perfumes, deodorant or moisturiser on.
It is advised that the client arrive, or bring with them, loose dark clothing as the tan can sometimes transfer onto fabric.
