Press Release distributed through Prweb.com

Kristi Walker, a former student of the HollywoodAirbrushTanningAcademy is now a trainer with the same institution, offering hands-on airbrush tanning classes on the East Coast. Kristi is the first trainer to be appointed by the HollywoodAirbrushTanningAcademy.

America’s most revered airbrush tanning training institution HollywoodAirbrushTanningAcademy has achieved a significant milestone by recruiting their first trainer. To date, all the training related activities for the academy were handled by its founder Simone Emmons. Simone will continue to conduct airbrush tanning classes in Los Angeles. Whereas, their new trainer Kristi Walker will be offering hands-on Airbrush Tanning Classes on the East Coast. Kristi is a former student of the HollywoodAirbrushTanningAcademy who had her own airbrush tanning business in Agoura Hills, California. Kristi will now be the trainer for the HollywoodAirbrushTanningAcademy on the East Coast and will share exactly the same program as is done by them on the West Coast.

Simone Emmons, the charismatic founder of the HollywoodAirbrushTanningAcademy has been instrumental in helping many aspiring spray tanning professionals to make it big in this emerging business. She saw a lot of potential in Kristi when she came to the academy as a student. “She was actually like a little mini-me and I liked how she picked up everything right away and she copied me in everything that I taught her about business and marketing, and this is why she was able to get her airbrush tanning business up and running quickly”, says Simone. Due to some unfortunate turn of events, Kristi recently became a single mom. As she has 3 young children, she decided to move back to the East Coast to be close to her immediate family.

With Kristi on board as a traveling trainer, HollywoodAirbrushTanningAcademy is currently scheduling airbrush tanning classes in Plainfield, Illinois. They have several students signed up already for the class. The academy is also working on scheduling classes in Kentucky, South Carolina & North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, West Virginia, and Illinois. “We are currently looking for venues in all the different cities to host our hands-on airbrush tanning classes”, says Simone.

Expressing her satisfaction about having Kristi in her team, Simone said, “HollywoodAirbrushTanningAcademy is excited to be able to offer Kristi an opportunity to show off her skills and talent and everything that she learned at the HollywoodAirbrushTanningAcademy. Now through Kristi, we are pleased to be able to offer our hands-on airbrush tanning training program to so many others on the East Coast who can not travel to Los   Angeles.”

Should You Get Liability Insurance For Your Airbrush Tanning Business?

I am being asked all the time if I would recommend for airbrush tanning technicians to get insurance and my answer is YES!

Here are a few reasons why.  Liability insurance gives you peace on mind.

Let me tell you a true recent story. The other day when I was training a student, she brought her own machine to the training.  She used it for the first time in the training class.  While she was spraying the customer, suddenly the hose came out of the machine.  She either did not place the hose tight enough into the machine or the new machine could have been malfunctioned.  At the same time when the hose came off, the spray gun suddenly splashed some solution out and it splashed on to the model.  Fortunately it was splashing on the leg and not in the face/eyes and luckily nothing bad happened.  She had just started to spray the legs, but that made us think.  What would have happened if the solution would have splashed into the models face and/or into the eyes?  Are you following me here?

Another incident one of my previous student had when she was doing a mobile tan at someone’s house.  She had spilled some solution on to the customers carpet and called me to find out how to remove the solution out of the carpet.

Ok so these are the only 2 incidents that I know of so far and this is why I recommend for you to get the insurance for mobile spray tanners.  I am sure other things can happen too but these are two recent stories of possible incidents.  There may be other things that could happen and we never know, so for peace of mind, I would definately recommend for you to get the insurance.

Have you had a bad incident when spraying customers? Please share it below.

5 Top Mistakes New Spray Tanning Technicians Make When Starting to Spray Tan

Today I just wanted to quickly write a blog post about the mistakes many new Spray Tanning Technicians make.  I teach new spray tan technicians every week so I can see the same pattern again and again.  But don’t worry about it, it’s normal to make mistakes at the beginning and this is why it’s so important that you practice before you actually spray tan a paying customer. Remember, when a customer pays you money they expect you to give them a perfect tan and that’s what you need to give them in order to have the customer come back again and again.

Spray Tan Mistake #1: Spray Tan Technician sprays with uneven distance throughout the body – sometimes they spray close to the body and as they continue spraying, they move out further and further – this will make the tan come out uneven and shows up lighter or darker in some areas.

Spray Tan Mistake #2: Spray Tan Technician sprays too much solution on to the body – I can’t stress this very important part.  When you spray too much solution on to the body, the client can turn out orange and has bad fading experience.

Spray Tan Mistake #3: Spray Tan Technician forgets to set the spray gun nozzle the right way.  What I mean with that is…they set the spray gun on horizontal settings and then spray vertical  or set the nozzle to the vertical settings and then spray in the horizontal mode.  The tan will turn out with stripes.

Mistake#4:  Spray Tan Technician forgets to spray the hands or feet or in the back of the feet.

Mistake #5:  Spray Tan Technician does not wear protective mask to protect their own health.  From experience, I know that you should not inhale the solution and I know that you can not see the overspray of the solution, but trust me, it’s there.  Longterm exposure can result in you getting asthma or other lung conditions so I always recommend wearing a good protective mask.

There are of course other mistakes new spray tan technicians make but the above mention mistakes are the most common ones I see.  This is why I feel it’s important that new spray tan technicians need practice in order to get the confidence level to actually spray tan customers.  In my training course I provide 3-4 models to each student and I’m right next to each student correcting them on the proper technique and also how to handle customers.  If you want to get a head start on learning spray tanning the right way, I encourage you to sign up for my spray tanning class.

Sun tanning can cause severe skin related problems due to exposure to harmful UV rays. As a result, many modern tanning enthusiasts prefer sunless or spray tanning. The process of spray tanning or airbrush tanning involves the creation of an effect similar to a suntan by using solution with DHA and HVLP Spray guns. The emergence of this new trend has opened up a new career path for many people. Hollywood Airbrush Tanning Academy is the most preferred training center for the aspiring spray tan professionals because the academy offers all types of business support to its trainees, even after the hands-on training has been completed.

How to get State Certified As An Airbrush Tanning Technician

There are a few places on the Internet that write about how to get state certified as an Airbrush Tanning Technician.  The truth is, as of January 1, 2013, there is no state recognized program or test that you need to take.   I’ve tried to write to those websites a few times with no response cause I feel that they might confuse people about that.  Not even beauty school offer a testing program on Airbrush Tanning.  Now of course this can change anytime so I would always recommend for you to check with your own states State Board of Cosmetology, The FDA and also the Health Department to make sure that there are no new regulations. There are however state certification requirements for indoor tanning but this is meant for salons with tanning beds.

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.
