Question ????SPRAY TAN ASSOCIATION????

Soooo does anyone know what the spray tan association is? I've searched and searched and the only thing I can find is a facebook page. Is this a real thing or do people make stuff up?

They make things up. My biz partner and I paid a good sum of money in product, equipment, and training to who we thought was a reputable company only to find out that their credentials were through an entity they called the "STA" or Spray Tan Association, which does not exist. When asked for contact information for the STA, we received excuse after excuse. When our requests turned to demands,this company fired back rude emails and directed us to an empty web address and a phone number which leads to a recording. Beware of this company!!!

The only place that I have heard of a Master Certification is through Norvell University. I've heard of certifications through the ATI (American Tanning Institute) and NTTI but I never heard of STA.

Re: ????SPRAY TAN ASSOCIATION????

i'm pretty sure that the STA is a completely made up organization. i know aviva does a master certification, you have to have the standard training first. the company in our city that says that they're STA certified says that they have 'the best exclusive solution ' and no one else can compare or have the training they have. if thats that case then why would they have to say they're trained by a made up company??

Re: ????SPRAY TAN ASSOCIATION????

This is one of the many reasons we need more regulation in the business, too many half azzeers trying to get rich from hard working folks. Plus, creditentials mak ing you believe you have a clue what your doing. If you try to insurance you usually find out the hard way that in most states you need some kinda of credentials. too bad we cant regulae ourselves!!1

Re: ????SPRAY TAN ASSOCIATION????

People will do & say anything these days and it utimately reflects poorly upon them, so choose to rise above it and be the professional that you are. It's not only the half azzeers.. as besthands put it... it's people being competitive and negative against others to get ahead. Someone once said 'Be the change in the world that you want to see.' Happy Holidays : )
