As of today, in most states there are no tests or state regulated programs for Airbrush Tanning Technicians.  The only state where you need to be licensed is Oregon.  Oregon requires that you need to be a licensed esthetician in order to do Airbrush Tanning but in all other states you don’t.  The Oregon Health Licensing Agency is also working on getting this field regulated.

Now there are FDA recommendations in Airbrush Tanning but I also wanted to clarify that the FDA does not necessarily approve of the Airbrush Tanning booth or Airbrush Tanning with a spray gun.  They have however approved of the ingredient DHA to be used for cosmetic purposes and for external body parts. This is why Sun Tanning Lotions are allowed because they all have the DHA in them.   It will be interesting to see how this will change over the years.  Personally I feel that the Health Department should probably oversee the health and safety of consumers and technicians so I am looking forward to observe how this will change over the years.

Summary: Simone’s Airbrush Tanning is now accepting new students into its one-day or two-half day spray tanning courses. The new California law banning teens under 18 from using tanning beds is projected to create an enormous demand for highly-trained spray tan technicians. Simone’s course will prepare new practitioner’s to be successful in the business.

Los Angeles, October 20, 2011:  Simone’s Airbrush Tanning announced today that new students are now being accepted into its one-day or two half-day spray tanning courses. Simone Emmons, the owner and operator of Simone’s Airbrush Tanning, will personally be teaching the upcoming courses.

The additional spray tanning classes are being added in direct response to the demand for spray tanners after California passed a law banning teens under the age of 18 from using tanning beds. In addition to the California law, a new federal tax on tanning bed services was also passed. This has created a new demand for professional spray tanners with experience performing the service.

Airbrush tanning is a simple process; instead of spending hours in the sun or in a dangerous, potentially cancer-causing tanning bed, clients have their tan applied by trained spray tan professionals. Certified airbrush tanning professionals apply a safe, effective self-tanner through either a spray gun or a high volume, low-pressure system. A variety of solutions including organic tanning solutions are also available.

In order to become a self-employed spray tanner, it is important for the potential airbrush professional to be trained by a knowledgeable spray tan practitioner. Emmons said that, “It is of the utmost importance for students to be trained by a successful, experienced and licensed spray tan technician.  Programs run by people with no real-world experience do not adequately train students.”

Ms. Emmons is a licensed and certified spray tan technician. She has spent many years perfecting her techniques. She is excited to be opening spray tanning classes for new students who wish to learn the business. Emmons has successfully trained a number of students from the Los Angeles area and Utah who have gone on to their own successful spray tanning businesses.

Simone’s Airbrush Tanning course is a hands-on workshop.  The course not only teaches the art of hand spray tanning with an HVLP spray gun, it also teaches the business end and includes all necessary business forms to start the business. Depending on the location, the average new spray tan professional charges between $35 and $75 for a spray tanning session that takes only ten minutes. With the low start-up costs involved with this business, new practitioners can be making a good living relatively soon after attending the course.

Emmons has also recently expanded the geographical reach of her courses. She is willing to travel wherever she may be needed to provide on-site training.

Individuals interested in a career in spray tanning should visit Simone’s Spray Tan Training website at www.1DaySprayTanTraining.com. The upcoming spray tanning courses are listed on the website calendar and will expand daily depending upon requests received. Students may also contact Emmons directly with any questions about the courses.

Have you heard that Jerry Brown signed a new law that will ban anyone under 18 years from using the tanning beds in California?  Well, he just signed a new law on October 9th, 2011, and this law will become effective as of January 1st, 2012.  The state of California will be the first state to adopt this new law but there are other states that are trying to pass it through as well, but have not been successful yet.

I am confident that Mobile Spray Tanning businesses will become more and more popular in the future.  Spray tanning is definitely a healthier option.

I think most teenagers and tanning salon owners will be very unhappy about this so I feel for everyone, but the reason behind the law is good because we will hopefully have lesser skin cancer victims.

Maybe this will be a good opportunity for young adults to check into learning how to do spray tanning, especially since it is one of the most affordable businesses to start.   I am certainly up to training and creating as many spray tan entrepreneurs as possible It’s a great business to be in and I love the business and would love to share it with anyone who wants to learn it.

The second half day, will be with all the models/guinny pigs so you can practive what I tought you and I will be right next to you and watch over everything.

The reason for this change is because I provide so much information that it can be overwhleming to learn all in one day. My goal is for you to be successful and be able to start your Airbrush Tanning business immediately once you finish the training. Therefore I always listen and welcome any suggestions for improvement.
