What You Will Learn

This training covers the essential techniques and knowledge required to perform a professional spray tan with confidence.

Understanding Spray Tanning

Gain a clear understanding of how spray tanning works, including the role of tanning solutions and how they interact with the skin. You will learn about different tanning formulations, development times, colour outcomes and the factors that can influence the final result.

Equipment & Product Knowledge

Learn how to correctly use and maintain professional spray tanning equipment, including the spray gun, compressor and associated accessories. We will cover correct setup, handling, cleaning and basic troubleshooting to help ensure your equipment remains in good working condition.

You will also learn how to work with tanning solutions and understand how solution choice can influence the final colour and finish.

Client Consultation

A professional spray tan begins with an effective consultation. You will learn how to communicate with clients, establish their desired outcome, identify relevant skin considerations and select an appropriate tanning approach.

You will also learn how to manage client expectations and explain the tanning process clearly and professionally.

Skin Preparation

Correct preparation is one of the most important steps in achieving a beautiful, long-lasting tan.

Training will cover:

• Exfoliation and preparation
• Hair removal considerations
• Moisturizer and skincare considerations
• What clients should avoid before their appointment
• Preparing difficult or dry areas
• Correct preparation immediately before tanning
• How preparation can affect the development and longevity of a tan

Professional Spray Tanning Technique

You will be guided through the fundamentals of spray tanning technique, including correct positioning, spray distance, movement and solution application.

You will learn how to achieve an even application across the body while paying particular attention to areas that can be challenging, such as the hands, feet, knees, elbows, ankles and other naturally drier areas.

The course will help you understand how to avoid common problems such as streaking, patchiness, over-application and uneven colour.

Face & Body Application

Learn professional application techniques for both the body and face, including how to adjust your technique according to the area being treated.

You will learn how to create a natural-looking finish while avoiding excessive product build-up in areas such as the hairline, eyebrows, hands and feet.

Color Selection

Choosing the right tanning solution is an important part of creating a result that suits the individual client.

You will learn how to consider factors such as:

• Natural skin tone
• Desired depth of color
• Occasion or event
• Development time
• Client preferences
• Previous tanning experience
• Skin preparation and condition

The goal is to create a result that looks natural, even and beautifully bronzed, rather than simply applying the darkest possible colour.

Hygiene & Professional Standards

Professional hygiene is an essential part of providing a safe and trustworthy tanning service.

Training will cover appropriate hygiene practices, workstation preparation, equipment cleaning, client protection and maintaining a professional treatment environment.

You will also learn how to establish good habits that can help create a consistent experience for every client.

Client Aftercare

A great spray tan does not end when the application is complete. Clients need clear aftercare instructions to help their tan develop correctly and last as long as possible.

You will learn how to advise clients on:

• When to shower
• How to shower correctly
• Moisturising
• Avoiding activities that may affect development
• Maintaining the tan
• Exfoliating before the next treatment

You will be able to provide clients with clear, professional aftercare recommendations so they know exactly how to care for their new tan.
