No Gatekeeping—What I Teach My Students About Running a Real Business

Let’s be real—there’s a lot of beauty education out there that looks polished on Instagram but doesn’t teach you how to actually run a business. You walk out with a certificate and zero clue how to find clients, price your services, or build a brand that books out.

At Blushaé Academy, we don’t do fluff.

I’ve spent over 16 years in this industry—tanning celebrities, working backstage at Fashion Week, running a busy salon, and building a reputation that speaks for itself. Now? I teach my students everything I’ve learned so they can skip the guesswork and start strong.

This post is your behind-the-scenes look at what I really teach inside Blushaé Academy—and why it’s about so much more than technique.

1. Technique Isn’t Enough

You could be the most technically skilled artist out there—but if no one knows you exist, it won’t matter.

That’s why I include business-building strategies from the start. Confidence and cash flow go hand in hand. My students walk away knowing not just how to deliver flawless tans—but how to attract, book, and retain clients too.

2. No Generic Kits. No One-Size-Fits-All.

A lot of courses throw in a “starter kit” and call it a day. I don’t do that.

Why? Because what works for one business won’t necessarily work for yours. Instead of giving you a cookie-cutter setup, I show you how to choose the right products, tools, and suppliers for your business model. No markups. No unnecessary extras. Just what you actually need to succeed.

3. Marketing That Actually Works

One of the biggest gaps in beauty education? No one teaches you how to show up online without feeling awkward.

Inside my training, I walk you through how to build your brand, create content that connects with your ideal client, and market yourself authentically—without being salesy or cringe. This is the part most educators skip, but it’s what sets you apart.

4. It’s About the Client Experience

A good tan gets compliments. A great experience creates loyal clients.

From how you welcome a client, to the way you explain prep and aftercare, to how you follow up—everything you do is part of your brand. I teach you how to create a premium experience that feels seamless and special, so your clients can’t wait to rebook.

If you’re ready to learn spray tanning and build a beauty business that actually books, Blushaé Academy is where it begins.
