Are you interested in learning the art and craft of spray tanning completely online?

Welcome

Learn the art and the business, from anywhere.

Welcome, I am so happy you are interested in learning about this industry. I have over 17 years of experience and have trained 175+ artists across the US how to build and scale their own spray tanning businesses. The latest research study on the global Spray Tanning market finds that the global Spray Tanning market reached a value of USD 356.49 million in 2022. It is expected that the market will achieve USD 484.03 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.23% during the forecast period. (See Market Watch.)

In most states, you do not need any additional licensing to start this business.

The only state as of now that requires an esthetics license is Oregon. Spray tanning can be done mobile, studio, or in a salon. Most everyone starts as a mobile business, which gives you the freedom to make your own schedule and be your own boss. You will spend your time making people feel beautiful and confident in their own skin, and making great money while doing so. Each application only takes 20-30 minutes and can cost anywhere from $55 - $300 in some places. Most businesses are $30,000 - $40,000 to start and most do not see a return until after the second year.

Spray tanning however, happens to be the lowest start-up beauty business and many individuals make their money back three times their investment in the first three months.

I believe to be successful in the beauty industry you need to be both an artist and an entrepreneur, which is why I take the time to teach you how to be both in my course.

You will not regret it.

  • Had an amazing time getting a spray tan for one of their trainings. The girls are so friendly, professional and make you feel 100% comfortable.

    The place is very clean and highly esthetic 💚

    I had never had a spray tan before, so I was very nervous at first, but they made it so fun and comfortable I would definitely recommend trying it out.

    Love the energy of the place. They also have super cute apparel, permanent jewelry, reiki, energy work.

    So come get your Rays of Sunshine ☀️ and glow like the star you are ✨️

  • I just completed my airbrush course with Jena and it was incredibly invaluable! I'm based in the Bay Area and am looking to start up my own mobile airbrush business so I was looking at resources to help me get my business off the ground. She had literally all the information I was looking for that went so far beyond just how to physically airbrush someone. She has a ton of expertise in the field so she has a wealth of knowledge that is well worth taking the training. If you're looking to start your own business I can not recommend Jena enough! It was WELL worth the investment!

  • I received a spray tan for a training session with Sierra and Jena and it was absolutely amazing. Extremely professional and fun. The entire experience was quick, comfortable and most importantly, I left looking literally amazing. I'm obsessed. This was my first spray tan and now I'm hooked!

    Vannessa Titcomb · Trainee

  • I took Jena's virtual training course, and have now started my own business. It was so informative, and I felt REALLY confident taking on my clients. She has also been with me every step of the way when I just need some advice on which routes to take, and is always giving me pointers. The way the kit is set up I was also able to immediately take on clients, and make a profit. And I honestly did not think I'd have this much fun doing it. And Jena is definitely that person that becomes an instant friend. Definitely exceeded my expectations on many different levels. 10/10 would recommend!

    Carissa Oswald · Trainee
