Train with the world’s longest running spray tan academy

While you’re not required to receive a spray tan during the training, we highly encourage it to get a firsthand experience of the process. To participate, please bring a bathing suit or other comfortable clothing that you’d like to be sprayed in. We’ll provide the non-permanent, wash-off bronzer solution, so you don’t have to worry about any mistakes.

If you prefer not to be sprayed, you can bring a model to practice on. However, the model is only allowed in the classroom during the hands-on portion of the training.

Aviva will provide all necessary training materials, including workbooks, spray machines, and equipment. We’ll also take a 30-minute lunch break, so please come prepared with a light meal or plan to utilize the hotel’s dining options.

Our class is a one-day event starting promptly at 9 AM. Please feel free to arrive a few minutes early for a quick meet and greet. We continue until everyone feels confident with the hands-on techniques, which typically concludes around 4 PM. The day is divided into two parts: the morning session focuses on theory and education, while the afternoon is dedicated to hands-on practice.

We recommend waiting until after the class to purchase equipment or solution. At Aviva, we bring a variety of machines and equipment to class, allowing you to try different options and find the perfect fit for your business. Additionally, we offer an exclusive student coupon code that you can use towards your purchase.

Yes. Normally, we pair you up with someone in the class, so you will act as both the client receiving the service and the business owner providing the service. Using this technique, you will have the most immersive training experience possible. Of course, if you are attending class with someone then you can simply pair up with them.

Absolutely! At the training, you’ll receive your login information for the Aviva Labs website. You can place your order on the spot, and your kit will be shipped out the next day. Additionally, your trainer will provide you with a special coupon code for discounts on starter kits.

There are dozens of spray tan training’s out there. The hardest decision isn’t in finding a date you can attend the training class or in finding a spray tan company that has a good reputation. The hardest decision is in finding the right training.

Moderately successful spray tan businesses can expect to achieve anywhere between 5-15 spray tans a week. Truly successful spray tan businesses attain 50, 70, and even 100 spray tans a week (a difference of $2,975 in profit!). The difference? Training.

To be this successful, you will be told that what you need is the best equipment, the best machine, the best spray tan solution (of course), a great attitude, and a desire to see your business succeed.

And that’s all you need, right? Wrong.

• What do you do to prevent your business from slowing down in the winter?
• How do you compete with the new salon that just moved in half a block away?
• Will you know the answer when a client comes to you with a specific question?
• Will your top of the line machine answer that question for you? Of course not.
• How will your “desire to succeed” bring customers through your door in November? It won’t.

The unfortunate truth is that there is a lot of pseudo-training out there: training that sounds great and looks great, but is actually just an over-glorified sales pitch rather than a business building seminar. The worst thing that can happen for your business’s success is that you leave a training without having the answers you need.

True success-driven spray tan training:

• Focuses on building your business rather than making a sale
• Offers hands-on technique training on live models rather than a hands-off demonstration or practicing on towels (unless, of course, you are going to be spray tanning towels for a living)
• Is part one-on-one consultation, part business marketing seminar, part open discussion
• Is taught by the most knowledgeable experts in the field, using tried-and-true methods

So what will work best for you? For some, our on-site Sunless 101 Spray Tan Training course is the best option. For others, it’s our Sunless 101 Online Training, or our free training options. What is most important, though, is that you get the training that you need for your business.

The answer to that question really depends on your answer to this question: What type of business are you looking to start? Are you working in a Spa or Salon, are you striking out on your own with a mobile business or starting from your home before branching out? How you answer will greatly affect your equipment choice.

Spas and high-end salons are most likely going to want to go with a Photoshoot-style Spray Tan Backdrop and a quiet machine to ensure their clients have a relaxing, pleasant visit. If a quiet machine is what you’re looking for, then we recommend the Apollo Eco-2 Mighty Mist, one of the most silent machines on the market, and geared towards huge volume locations thanks to its dual-turbine engineering.

Multi-functional salons such as those offering hair, nails, and brow services, as well as mobile businesses that may also provide spray tanning services, often opt for the Photoshoot-style Spray Tan Backdrop and a powerful, professional machine like the Apollo Mini Mist Deluxe. This machine features a durable metal spray gun, offering superior performance and longevity for consistent, professional results.

Mobile-only businesses usually choose to begin with a more conservative approach, opting to start with a Popup Spray Tan Tent and an Apollo Mini Mist Pro spray tan machine for its rugged durability, super reliability, and compact design.

Really though, the choice is yours to make. You will have every opportunity to try out these spray tan machines on the day of training, but if you have some questions before your class date please call us at (781) 209-1551.

Absolutely! We spend a significant amount of time with the fast track to starting a mobile business.

A mobile business gives you the chance to be your own boss with a very low cost startup. With a mobile business, you have the freedom to work when you want, where you want. As a mobile spray tan business owner, you don’t have to dig too deep into your budget to get started: but that doesn’t mean you should get the cheapest stuff out there either! The difference between running a successful mobile spray tan business and only managing to keep your head above water is the quality of your equipment, your solutions, and your training.

We’ve done the research for you. At Aviva Labs, we’ve tested thousands of formulas and thousands of machines so you know you’ll be getting the very best in both. We’re also constantly perfecting our Sunless 101 Spray Tan Certification Training by interviewing and working with our most successful businesses in each field (Spa, Salon, Mobile) to ensure you have the most up to date, most accurate training in the world. You will hear from the experts on how best to start your business, and the secrets they used in making their businesses making money fast.

Age 18 is the minimum age to attend, or age 16 can attend with an adult/guardian.

We prioritize a small class size to foster a more interactive and intimate learning environment. This allows each student to receive personalized attention and maximize their learning experience. We typically limit each class to 12 students.

Of course! We encourage male attendees to bring a model for the hands-on portion of the class. You’ll still receive the full experience of expert hands-on training and spraying time.
