Tricoci University of Beauty Culture has added spray tanning training to its curriculum. The new course, offered in partnership with Norvell Tanning, is available to current students.
As beauty trends evolve and clients look for safer alternatives to achieving a sun-kissed glow, the spray tanning course intends to give students another in-demand skill to add to their toolkit.
The program covers the essentials including the science of sunless tanning, where students learn about different tanning solutions and how they react with various skin types. It also focuses on application techniques, ensuring students master even, professional spray tan application.
Additionally, skin preparation and aftercare are a key part of the training, teaching best practices to maximize longevity and results.
Founded by industry icon Mario Tricoci, Tricoci University of Beauty Culture has 15 campuses across Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. The university's focus on giving students real-world, salon-ready skills for modern careers in beauty is apparent through its advanced training courses.
Those include hair extension application, plus brow lamination and eyelash extension training. Tricoci also offers the Sensory Safe Salon program, designed to foster a more inclusive, sensory-friendly environment for neurodivergent staff and clients.
Tricoci has also adopted The Vitality Project, an industry-first mental health and wellness program designed to support students' overall well-being.
Nate Swanson, CEO of Tricoci University, says staying ahead of industry trends is part of the cosmetology school's DNA.
“Tricoci University is committed to our students’ success, which means we are always listening, learning, and evolving to provide them with the skills that will set them apart in the industry," he says.
"Beauty, health, and wellness are inherently connected, and we are dedicated to equipping our students with the tools to help clients look and feel their best, both inside and out.”
