Re: need help please deciding what to buy !!!!

Would you rather tell your clients "I watched a ton of youtube videos, and sprayed a ton of people and am certifiably skilled" or let them know that you are certified through NTTI? We all know that experience and skill is the key to a good spray tan . The certification is mostly for respect and separates you from your competition. It is one of the few things you can do to make your self more appear more professional next to getting an esthetics license. I think the certification is a joke too, but I recommend it. Just my opinion ;)

Re: need help please deciding what to buy !!!!

If anyone tells you not to get certified please do not take the time to listen to them. Whether or not the material your getting certified from is as comprehensive or not as some think. It is better to get some sort of certification rather then none. A major problem in this Industry UV or Sunless is the lack of professionalism and standards. The only people that will continue to have growth and success are those that hold themselves to higher standards. Those that do not are only doing us all harm and wasting their time and our creditability as a professional Industry.

Re: need help please deciding what to buy !!!!

Again- I will RE-ITERATE>> These "certifications" hold NO MERIT-therefore-WHY WASTE MONEY? It is NOT a gov't requisite-...It's CRAZY.
HIGHER STANDARDS-I appreciate where you are coming from-but you are inviting gov't to make money from us. "Find Your Zipper" / Zip your lip before we all are held to laws we cannot AFFORD. Drop it. Ciao Bella
DON'T RUIN THIS FOR US! Gov't worms in eventually-let's NOT speed the process.
