Sunless Tanning

The National Tanning Training Institute offers two courses—with online options—for staff who want to expand their knowledge of the sunless process while enhancing sales and service.

The Introduction To Sunless Tanning course covers the basics of sunless tanning. It is designed to help salon employees address customer needs and promote this increasingly popular service. Sunless tanning has opened up a limitless market, satisfying not only the tanning enthusiast but individuals who otherwise choose not to tan—indoors or outdoors—or who cannot achieve a tan. This course provides sunless tanning basics, an understanding of how they work, clears up any misconceptions of this application and provides tips on using this service to increase profits.

The Sunless Airbrush/HVLP Technician course recently was updated and is designed specifically for the airbrush or HVLP technician. Based on research and tests conducted by leading manufacturers of sunless-spray systems, this course takes the technician from setup to application while discussing technique, safety, pricing and more.

It has become increasingly clear—by following actors and reading through glamour magazines—that mainstream society appreciates the attraction of a UV-free tan.

The indoor tanning industry has been ahead of the curve when it comes to high-quality sunless solutions, and new developments in technology will ensure the industry stays there.

Salons that can market the latest sunless stand-up equipment, handheld airbrush or HVLP/turbine equipment, and sunless retail items can capture the virtually limitless potential of new clientele.
