How long have you been in the industry? Eight years

How did you get started in the industry?: I started in the sunless industry as a mobile artist, I fell in love with the industry and immediately knew I wanted to become a known artist within my space and make a lasting impression. Toronto wasn’t fully into spray tan services when I entered and many still to this day call us the “Original Spray Tan Brand” as we really put the time and effort into solidifying a brand that was recognized and appreciated.

Throughout my sunless journey, I found education in Toronto extremely unprofessional or uneducated leaving me feeling very insecure and not well prepared. This forced me to seek opportunity and training outside of Canada which lead me to my first major opportunity training with Joy Romano owner of Brazil Bronze (@BrazilBronzeNYC) from New York who is known for her work on Victoria Secret runaways and celebrities like Jennifer Lopez.

For the first time I felt I got a true education that left me feeling confident and inspired. This relationship led to me running the Canadian division for their education academy. Through educating Brazil Bronze artists, I realized my passion really lied within teaching and helping artists grow and pushed me to start my own Canadian training academy.

My work became known throughout the U.S., and I was able to connect with Jimmy Coco and got the opportunity to apprentice underneath him which was huge because it taught me so many industry trade secrets for body contouring and celebrity tanning that I would have never learned anywhere else. I know how selective he is with the artists he works with, so that was a confidence booster that really drove me to the next level.

I now run one of the largest spray tan academies in Toronto. Pre-Covid we trained over 30 students a month, yet we try to limit the amount of students we take a month as we want to be able to provide the care and attention our students deserve, so we feel that mass-training is counterproductive for our students.

We put a lot of love into our academy because it truly is the heart and soul of our business. It is everything I am passionate about and we always put our students first.

Types of courses: We offer 1:1 and small group classes, our trainings are always very in-depth and extremely hands on. We make sure that our students leave feeling comfortable to start taking on customers right away, and we provide unlimited mentorship for life.

What type of certifications do you offer?: Expert Level Certificate & Master Level Certificate

Course pricing: $750 + equipment fees (depending on desired package).

What do your courses entail? Is it solely training how to spray tan or do you offer business guidance as well?: We offer full in-depth training about sunless fundamentals, technique training that is exclusive to our trade secrets as well as sunless marketing, branding, social media, and how to scale your business.

We teach from example as we went from mobile spray tanning to a 1500 square foot salon storefront on Queen street. We teach our methods for growth to all of our students and many of our students own shops of their own.

What are your go-to brands/solutions? Do you have a specific solution you suggest beginners train with? We have our own exclusive sunless solution and take home product line

How long are your courses? One full day.

What is the most important lesson you hope your students learn during your course? The most important lesson I hope my students take from our course — apart from the technique — is to never give up. There is so much opportunity in the sunless space to really create a lucrative career for themselves, it is just about putting the time in!

Words you live by? Hard work and determination always pay off and you can manifest your future with a positive attitude!
