👋 CLICK TO READ - Welcome to The Tanning Academy Community! Let's connect
Hi everyone! I’m so excited to finally welcome you all to The Tanning Academy UK, a community built for spray tan artists who want to learn, grow, and truly make an impact in our industry. 💫 I started this group because, over the years, I’ve seen how much the tanning industry can grow when we truly support one another and keep learning. I also know how challenging this business can be, it’s often seasonal, with poor-quality courses, little trainer support, and a lack of guidance around marketing and business growth. I know that sometimes our friends or family don’t fully understand what we go through: the late nights, the self-doubt, or the effort we put into every tan. Having people around us who do understand, who celebrate our wins and lift us when we’re struggling, can make such a difference. This space is here for exactly that: to connect, exchange knowledge, talk about marketing, techniques, and challenges. Celebrate every achievement together. Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience, your voice truly matters here. There’s no golden rule in this industry, what works for me might not work for you, and that’s completely okay. That’s why I’d really love you to share your experiences and thoughts. Networking is powerful - you never know who you might inspire, who might help you, or who you might help along the way. 🤎 ✨ Let’s start by getting to know each other! In the comments, please share: 1️⃣ Your name and where you’re from (city & country) 2️⃣ How long you’ve been in the tanning industry 3️⃣ Your Instagram handle 4️⃣ A photo of your workspace (optional — but I’d love to see your setup!) Let’s build something truly special together - a supportive, positive space where we all glow and grow. 🌟 Izabela Founder of Spray Tan Leicester & The Tanning Academy UK
Finishing Powder application ideas
Can I open up a discussion with all you lovely technicians about finishing powder application/techniques. Are we applying with a brush or an applicator. I have used both methods but find the dusting with a soft brush directly to the skin is much easier. I have seen on you tube some technicians using the hose to blow the powder onto their client's skin. Has anyone had success with this? I have horrible visions of me doing this and ending up with powder over all my clients face lol Also do you provide this service as complimentary, or do you charge extra?

Review: Kissed by Mii – Seriously Smoothing Exfoliating Wipes
When you work in tanning, you learn that the small things make the biggest difference to the final result. Exfoliating wipes are one of those often-overlooked tools that can completely change how evenly a tan develops especially when clients arrive with stubborn product build-up or patchy areas they simply can’t reach. Recently I tested the Kissed by Mii Seriously Smoothing Exfoliating Wipes. 👉 Where I Bought Them & Cost You can open a wholesale account through Gerrard International https://gerrardinternational.com/brands/mii/ but the first order must be £200, which isn’t ideal if you’re just testing a product. So instead, I ordered directly from their official website: https://miicosmetics.com/product/seriously-smoothing-exfoliating-wipes/ I paid £5 per pack of 25 wipes, making them very cost-effective compared to many other brands. 👉Comparison price with Norvell Exfoliating Wipes: Norvell wipes are a well-known option in the spray tan industry. However: Norvell trade price: £3 each, Norvell retail price: £5.99 each. One Norvell wipe is designed for full-body exfoliation. Norvell wipes are significantly larger Kissed by Mii wipes, on the other hand: Cost £5 for a pack of 25, meaning you pay 20p per wipe Each wipe is smaller, so one is not enough for a full-body exfoliation (£3 trade price) However, they’re excellent for targeted smaller areas. 👍If your goal is to increase profit and charge extra for a premium add-on, go for Norvell. But if you want something you can blend seamlessly into the price of your service without increasing the cost, Mii is the better option. 👉Ingredients List (as printed on the packaging) Aqua, Allantoin, Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Disodium Coco-Glucoside Citrate, C18-22 Hydroxyalkyl Hydroxypropyl Guar, Olus Oil, Glycerin, Lauryl Glucoside, Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Glyceryl Oleate, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Lactic Acid, Coco-Glucoside, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol, Benzyl Alcohol, Tocopherol, Parfum.

Series 3 spray gun question
Does anyone use the TN-169 HVLP Series 3 spray gun that comes with the Allure Whisperer Spray System. I’m finding it quite heavy & hope that I can get use to it! It’s also so much harder to tan myself with lol I’m starting to think I might need to get a plastic replacement to be happy…. Has anyone else gone from using a plastic gun to a metal & found it feels so foreign? 🤎
