  • Exayani from Alabama

    I flew all the way from Alabama to Austin, Texas for an in-person training with Amanda, and it was worth every mile! I did all three training she offers which were the 1:1 training/start up equipment, Brazilian Tape Tan, and Contour. It was a full two day training. Amanda was incredibly detailed, and packed with valuable knowledge. I left feeling inspired, confident, and more motivated than ever. As a makeup artist in Alabama, I’m beyond excited to now offer the luxury of this service to my brides and clients! Amanda is truly the GOAT. She didn’t gatekeep a single thing. She openly shared her techniques, walked me through consultations, color theory, solution selection, additives, business tips, and how to create an unforgettable client experience. Every question I had was answered with so much patience and intention. When I told her I’m a hands-on learner, she immediately adjusted her teaching style to make sure I fully understood everything, and I appreciated that so much. I’m incredibly grateful I invested in this experience. If you’re thinking about becoming a spray tan artist or taking your skills to the next level, I can’t recommend training with Amanda enough. Thank you again, Amanda, for pouring into me and sharing your knowledge so generously. I can’t wait to bring everything I learned back to Alabama and provide the best possible experience for my clients at Sol Angels by Exayani jeje 🤍

    I’ve traveled from Miami, FL to Austin, TX just to get trained by Amanda and I have to say she was the absolute BEST she showed everything I’m suppose to know! She brought in 4 models for me to spray and was teaching me on how to introduce myself , asking the client questions , and much more ! I brought her book with me and studied it so hard memorizing almost everything and Now I’m back in Miami starting my spray tan business called “ Luminous Body Glow “ and I have my first paying client this month 🩷 I’m so excited ! Even if you still have questions right after when starting your business Amanda will be right there to answer any questions you have and that is honestly so helpful. Thank you Amanda you are an incredible teacher I’ll be back to learn more from you 🩷✨

    I flew from Palm Beach to Austin to train with Amanda at Diosa Spray Tans, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. From the moment I arrived, I knew I had chosen the right place.

    Amanda was so open with her knowledge and shared not only her spray tanning techniques but also the business tips that gave me the confidence to launch my own business. I never felt like she was holding anything back, which I really appreciated.
