the journal
This is where we talk about what it is actually like to be a spray tan artist.
Not just the technique and the perfect lighting. But the comparison. The slow seasons. The awkward pricing conversations. The clients who make you second guess yourself. The burnout no one posts about. The pressure to look fully booked before you feel ready.
We are here to give it to you straight. We promised no fluff and no fluff is what you are going to get.
This journal is about honest conversations so if you’re serious about this industry, you’re in the right place.
Raising Your Prices Feels Personal. It’s Not.
Here is what rarely gets said out loud. If you stay underpriced, you will burn out before you ever become great. When you charge too little, you overbook to make up the difference and you start to resent your schedule.
You’re Not Bad at This. You’re Just New.
You’re not supposed to feel 100% confident yet. You’re supposed to feel aware. Awareness is the beginning of refinement and right now your brain is working overtime because it is building new muscle memory.
