The Ultimate Guide to Finding the Right Spray Tan Training

(Online, Virtual, or In-Person)

Hi, my name is Pamela Price, Spray Tan Artist & Educator with 15+ years experience!

If you’ve been Googling “spray tan training near me,” chances are you're ready to start (or level up) your sunless tanning career—but with so many options out there, how do you choose the right training program?

Whether you're just starting or looking to refine your technique, your training experience will set the tone for your success. Not all training programs are created equal, and the format of your education can make a huge difference in how confident, capable, and successful you feel as a spray tan artist.

Let’s break it down.

🖥️ Online Spray Tan Training (Pre-Made Courses)

This is the most common option you'll find online. These are pre-recorded, self-paced courses that typically include video tutorials, downloadable guides, and a certificate of completion.

👉 These can be a great budget-friendly option if you're disciplined and already feel comfortable learning independently.

However, most online-only courses:

  • Do not include one-on-one mentoring.

  • Offer limited or no live support.

  • May be created by product brands that focus on selling their own solutions or equipment.

Bottom line: If you’re motivated, already have some hands-on experience, or just want a refresher, this might be okay. But if you’re new or want long-term success, it likely won’t be enough.

📲 Virtual Spray Tan Training with Priceless Beauty

This is where virtual training gets a serious upgrade.

At Priceless Beauty, our virtual spray tan training includes everything you’d expect from an online course—video lessons, downloadable materials, client forms, business resources, and technique modules—but it’s what happens outside the lessons that makes it different.

✨ Here’s what sets our training apart:

  • Direct one-on-one mentorship with Pamela Price via WhatsApp.

  • Ongoing support and feedback—ask questions as you go, and never feel stuck.

  • Access to a private online community of other spray tan artists for peer support, industry tips, and inspiration.

  • No pressure to use one brand. This training is about growing your business, not selling you a solution.

This hybrid model gives you the flexibility of learning online, but with the support system that mimics an in-person experience—and it's perfect for anyone who values mentorship and real-world guidance.

🙌 In-Person Training + Hands-On Workshops

Some artists learn best by doing—and we love that.

Priceless Beauty also offers one-on-one, in-person training sessions in Ajax, just outside of Toronto, Canada. These hands-on experiences are tailored to your level and business goals, allowing you to work directly with Pamela on technique, equipment, and real client practice.

You’ll also have opportunities to continue your learning through:

  • Group events and in-person workshops via our Glow Experience series

  • Advanced bridal spray tanning and contouring classes designed for artists ready to niche down and raise their prices

This is perfect for artists who want to elevate their skill set, stand out in a competitive market, and deliver flawless, customized results.

🎯 Why You Should Learn From an Artist—Not a Brand

A lot of spray tan certifications are hosted by product brands, and while that’s not always a bad thing, keep in mind:

  • Their main goal is to sell you their product line.

  • Training may be biased toward their own solutions, not what's actually best for your clients.

  • You might miss out on essential business knowledge or creative techniques that go beyond one product system.

By learning from a working spray tan artist and business owner like Pamela Price, you’re getting:

  • Honest feedback and real-world strategy

  • Business-building advice based on 15+ years in the industry

  • Proven techniques that work with multiple product lines

  • Support from someone who has trained hundreds of artists and built a 5-star spray tan business from the ground up

💡 Final Tips for Choosing the Right Spray Tan Training

  • ✅ Look for training that includes both theory and technique.

  • ✅ Choose a mentor who is still active in the industry and knows current trends.

  • ✅ Make sure ongoing support is included—this is key for your growth.

  • ✅ Avoid trainings that feel like a product sales pitch.

  • ✅ Consider whether you’ll need business guidance—not just how to spray.
