What you’ll be learning

The Niki Glow Method

Not spray and go. A three-step method that creates a bespoke, indulgent experience and a finish that looks like skin, just elevated.

A

Analysis

A thorough consultation: skin tone, undertone, contraindications and your client’s expectations, so every tan starts with the right recipe.

B

Bespoke

An experience designed around your client, from a calm, scented space and careful prep to a moment of breathwork before you begin.

C

Create

The skin is your canvas. Use light and shade to sculpt and enhance the natural contours of the body, with precise techniques designed to create a natural, lasting result.

Your educator

Hello, I’m Niki

“I teach the way I work: one client, one recipe, every detail finished by hand.”

I’m Niki Furniss, founder of the Niki Glow Method, a luxury sunless tanning brand known for clear formulas, natural finishes and body sculpting.

I’ve worked backstage as Tan & Skin Director at Fashion Week, I travel for brand and celebrity bookings, and I work closely with industry-leading tanning brands, educating their in-house teams, their stockists and the tan artists who use their products.

I’m a qualified educator and my courses are accredited and insured. I keep my teaching personal because I want you to leave with real confidence, not just a certificate.

I can’t wait to teach you. Niki x

Good to know

Your questions

Can’t see your question? Send it to me and I’ll come back to you personally.

I’ve never done a spray tan before. Where do I start?

Start with Beginners Spray Tan Training. No experience is needed, and you’ll leave with the foundations, the confidence and your Level 1 certificate.

Can I do the Masterclass as a beginner?

The Masterclass isn’t suitable for complete beginners. You’ll need professional spray tan experience so we can focus on advanced work. If you’re not sure you’re ready, message me and we’ll talk it through.

How does the group discount work?

When three or more people book the same course together, everyone saves 15%. That’s £340 each for Beginners, £250.75 each for Full Body Contour and £425 each for the Masterclass.

Do I need to bring a model?

For the Masterclass, yes. You’ll need a model for the live practical, arranged by you or by the hosting brand. I’ll send you everything your model needs to know to prepare.

Can I train online?

Not at the moment. All my courses are taught in person, in my Belfast studio or at a brand venue, so I can guide your hands and your technique in person. For Full Body Contour Training, your contour airbrush kit is included, and I’ll post a blending brush to you when you sign up.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes. Beginners, Full Body Contour and the Masterclass all include a certificate on completion, and my courses are accredited and insured.

Can you train outside Belfast?

Yes. I travel to brand venues and to you. A travel fee covers flights, trains or taxis, food and drink, and accommodation if a same-day return isn’t possible.

I’m a tanning brand. Can you train our stockists?

Yes. I create training tailored to your product line for in-house teams, stockists and the tan artists who use your products. Get in touch and we’ll design a programme together.
