Kona Tanning co-founder and CEO Katie Quinn believes in focusing on one area of expertise to continue being the best at it – for her, that is custom airbrushed spray tanning and body contouring.
Katie’s expert tanning tips have been featured in such mega magazines as VOGUE, Women’s Health, Cosmopolitan, Lucky, Shape, and SELF.
She has worked with supermodels Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Doutzen Kroes, Miranda Kerr, Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel and Barbara Palvin.
Katie has always strived to make her airbrush tanning something more artistic and extraordinary than a simple base tan, and after more than 10 years in the industry, working on countless fashion shows and magazine cover models, she has put together an extensive collection of educational materials to aid artists in honing their craft.
Whether you are an amateur spray tanner about to pick up her first airbrush gun, or a professional makeup artist looking to offer airbrush contouring to her established clientele, Katie has something that will be perfect for you, all laid out in easy to follow, beautiful, step-by-step guides.

Are you in the beauty industry, and would like to add tanning to your menu of services?
Do you enjoy making people feel beautiful? Do you long to turn your establishment into a one-stop beauty retreat? Or are you simply looking to offer your community an alternative to UV-tanning?
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing a new client look in the mirror, and recognize themselves from yesterday.
Or, seeing a new client bare their legs for the first time in 10 years – because until today, they were too self-conscious about some flaw that a tan could minimize.
Have you ever given someone with spider veins the confidence to wear their first mini skirt? Have you ever provided airbrushed cheekbones to a blushing bride, who wasn’t able to meet her goal weight for her wedding day?
It’s about more than a tan. It’s about creating MASTERPIECES.
