Airbrush Tanning Resources for Makeup Artists, Estheticians, Cosmetologists, Hairstylists, Spas and Salons!
Kona Tanning Company believes in focusing on one area of expertise to continue being the best at it – for them, it’s custom airbrushed spray tanning and body contouring.
In 2005, newlywed owners Katie and Kenny created their famous homemade mix of tanning solution, The Kona Tanning House Blend, out of their kitchen in Orange County, California.
Since then, they have applied that gorgeous Kona Color on famous faces for editorials, television, film, and even the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows.
Their popularity with fashion and media tastemakers skyrocketed the Kona Tanning House Blend, and today it can be found in luxury spray tanning salons worldwide.
Like many great companies, Kona Tanning Company began in the kitchen.
In 2005, an enterprising young couple named Katie and Kenny returned home from their Hawaiian wedding, tired of striking out with tanning beds and smelly spray tans that didn’t complement Katie’s fair skin and freckles.
They decided to customize a formula just for her, and then went one step further by adding skin nourishing ingredients and extracts.
Out of personal necessity, Katie and Kenny have single-handedly raised the bar for sunless skincare, merging health, beauty and glamour into one perfectly bronzed package, called a Kona Tan.
They have developed their own products and techniques, fine-tuning Katie’s talents under some of the world’s top makeup artists, supermodels, and fitness legends.
During their journey they have also become advocates for sunless beauty and gentle skincare, and plan to never quit creating new products to enhance natural youth, without causing harm to the body.
