A lot of artists ask me which compressor is best for them, and it really comes down to the compressor's use. I recommend a high-volume compressor like the Iwata-Medea Studio Series Power Jet Lite for salon use, since it's larger and bulkier than a tanning kit usually allows space for. However, it stays cool to the touch and is nice and quiet, which is ideal for small tanning studios and spas. The Paasche DA400R below is small, light, compact, and fits seamlessly into my tanning kit. … [Read more...]

Spray Tanners: How to Raise Your Prices Without Losing Clients

Location, Location! Front Page Website Must-Haves
Web design is hard, and beauty pros (and pretty much anyone else!) can find themselves totally overwhelmed by the idea of designing their own website! There's no need to design anything too massive or in-depth, as long as you make sure your website has the following information listed on the FRONT PAGE: Business name Phone number (with area code for people searching services by area code—better yet, list all local area codes. Example, in my area, I use: “servicing 949, 714, 562”) All … [Read more...]

Now Available! Spray Tanning 101 – Katie Quinn’s Spray Tan Training DVD
Over the last year I have spent every waking moment working to develop a training DVD that will completely streamline the way artists learn how to spray tan!

How to Clean Your Airbrush Spray Tan Guns
Cleaning your airbrush spray tan guns is easy! I rinse my guns with water after every spray tan until the spray runs clear, and then about once a week I'll give my guns a Windex Bath, which is a tip that I got from one of my manufacturers. Simply soak your guns in a bowl full of Windex for about an hour, then take them out and let them air dry. It keeps the gun clean and polished, keeps the needle working smoothly, and I feel it even makes the airbrushes last longer! Watch below! … [Read more...]
Spray Tan Contouring: Best Applied Before Or After A Spray Tan?
One question I get asked a lot by other artists is WHEN to apply contouring - before or after a spray tan? Both options will get the job done, but it's really the artist's preference which method they prefer. Here's why I prefer to contour my clients AFTER I apply their base tan: IT'S EASIER: Tanned skin makes the client's natural definition more prominent, and easier for me to see. FREEDOM: After a few minutes, I like to see how the base tan's tanning solution is developing, and … [Read more...]
