All our self-tanners are beginner friendly. We launched different forms of tanners so that there’s one for every type of sunless tanner out there!
Our mist is a fan favorite since it’s easy to apply and is similar to using a spray SPF. Another easy go-to would be the Lusso mousse since it contains a color guide for you. Reminder, this will look darker on application and rinse off to become the beautiful tan underneath.

Skin preparation is key for a seamless application of our self-tanners. We recommend you exfoliate and shave using our Exfoliating Mitt 24 hours prior to application of any Dolce Glow product. Stay away from any heavy exfoliating oils while doing so. Also, make sure your skin is free from any lotions, oils, or perfumes so that you do not create a barrier between your skin and the self tanner. Make sure to wear loose fitted clothing after applying your self-tanner until your first rinse.

Our tanners are great since they are gradual. You can keep it on anywhere from 2 to 6 hours depending on the type of glow you wish to achieve.

Our self-tanners can be left on based on the application times below:
Application time:Leave the product on for the recommended times listed below. Select a time based on your desired appearance.
Light Tan: 2-4 hours 
Medium Tan: 4-6 hours
Dark Tan: 6+ hours

No, we do not recommend working out until after your first rinse.

If you feel your tan is too light, don’t worry you can always apply another layer of self-tanner on.
If you feel your tan is too dark, you can do a light rinse with soap.

We say anywhere from 7-10 days. To keep your glow continuous, apply our self-tanners once a week.

Streaky/Blotchy tans stem from a poor skin preparation. We recommend exfoliating and shaving 24 hours. Sometimes streaks can occur due to wax residue left over from shaving right before tanning. Easy fix to this is doing a quick rinse with light soap in the areas with streaks. Same thing goes for blotches.

We focus specifically on Dolce Glow solutions in this class, but you’ll gain a deep understanding of DHA—how it works, how it develops, and how to work with different skin tones. Once you understand the science behind DHA, you’ll be able to apply that knowledge to any professional spray tan solution on the market.

No prior experience is needed to attend! We teach artists at all levels—from complete beginners to seasoned professionals who’ve been spray tanning for 15+ years. Many attendees find it incredibly valuable to learn a new technique and pick up tips, tricks, and insider knowledge from Isabel. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills, there’s something in this class for everyone.

No, you won’t need any equipment during the Zoom Spray Tan or Contour Class. We recommend that all Zoom students focus on observing and taking notes throughout the class, since Isabel won’t be able to watch you tan live. After the class, our team will send you a Dropbox link where you can upload a video of yourself spray tanning or contouring. From there, we’ll review your technique and provide personalized feedback and guidance to help you improve.

You don’t need to bring anything—just your beautiful self! We do recommend wearing dark clothing and closed-toed shoes to stay comfortable throughout the day.

If you’ve volunteered to be a model for the spray tan class, be sure to bring a bathing suit and dark, loose-fitted clothing to wear after your tan. Other than that, we’ve got everything covered!

Yes! You will receive a certificate of completion that confirms you participated in the class and completed the respective training—whether it’s the Spray Tan, Contour, or Zoom class. It’s a great way to showcase your education and commitment to mastering your craft!

If you need to cancel or reschedule your class, please note that the deposit is non-refundable. However, we do allow for one rescheduling opportunity before the deposit is forfeited and a new registration is required. We kindly ask that you notify us at least one week prior to your scheduled class if you need to make any changes, so we can plan accordingly.

No, you do not need to bring your own model. During the class, everyone will have the chance to model for each other, creating a full-circle learning experience for all participants.

If you do want to bring your own model, please let them know they won’t be allowed to enter the class until the hands-on portion begins, and be sure to inform our team ahead of time so we can accommodate.

Absolutely! We've had past students who have been in the spray tan game for months, even years and still take the class to learn Isabel's signature technique. Many of them have shared that their spray tan businesses have significantly improved.

"I cannot convey how much I doubted myself and wanted to give up. Taking one last risk of investment, I went to Dallas. It has exponentially increased the amount of clients and the quality of my work - as well as my confidence! I just had my first client book a tan with all the add ons 'because it's worth it' and I wanted to cry out of pure relief" - Tiffany S., Dallas TX

Because time zones vary across the country and the world, you’ll need to check what the class time translates to in your own time zone.

For example, if the class is at 3 PM PST and you’re in Eastern Standard Time (EST), the class will start at 6 PM your time. We recommend using a reliable online time zone converter or checking your phone’s world clock feature to be sure you join the class at the correct local time. This helps avoid any confusion and ensures you don’t miss a minute of the training!
