About Emily:
Emily Abrams is the founder of Bronze Palms, a California-based spray tanning company with storefront locations in Campbell and Thousand Oaks. She began her spray tanning business in March 2020 as a mobile airbrush spray tan artist and later operated from an at-home studio and salon suite before expanding into two storefront locations.
Before launching Bronze Palms, Emily built a five-year career in digital marketing. She brought that experience into her spray tanning business, developing a strong presence through Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, local advertising, and community-based marketing. She now incorporates those strategies into her education programs to help students understand both the technical and business sides of becoming a spray tan artist.
Emily has trained hundreds of women in professional airbrush spray tanning in person. Her education focuses on natural-looking, full-coverage application techniques, solution and equipment knowledge, client care, business setup, legal requirements, marketing, and long-term growth. Her goal is to help students leave training with the practical knowledge and confidence needed to begin building legitimate, sustainable spray tanning businesses.
About Bronze Palms:
Bronze Palms is a California-based beauty company specializing in customized airbrush spray tanning. Founded in 2020, the business has grown from a mobile tanning service into two staffed storefront locations in Northern and Southern California.
Bronze Palms is known for delivering natural-looking, full-coverage spray tans designed to enhance each client’s individual coloring. The company’s approach combines professional technique, customized solution selection, thoughtful client care, and a comfortable salon experience.
I teach aspiring and established spray tan artists both the technical and business components of the industry. Students learn application technique, equipment care, ingredients, color theory, solution selection, client communication, business setup, legal requirements, marketing, scheduling, and growth strategies in person. The goal is to prepare students not only to perform a quality spray tan, but also to operate a legitimate and profitable business.
