No prior experience is necessary for the Sunless Certification. Contour Certification requires proof of Sunless Certification (regardless of company trained with).
Please be advised that this is an informational course only. Certification is provided only through Bronze Boss™ and does not provide licensing in any US state or international country. Airbrush tanning is currently only regulated in the state of Oregon and this course is based on the experience of Bronze Boss™. It is not part of any curriculum, cosmetology/esthetician program, or continuing education program offered within the United States. Anyone participating in this course is solely responsible and obligated to do their own research regarding specific business requirements and laws in their jurisdiction of residence and or business operations. Currently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate tans applied via airbrush. However, whenever starting a business it is your sole responsibility to locate your city, county, and state requirements and obtain the proper licensing, if necessary.
All courses include a kit, which includes:
- Bronze Boss® Tote Bag
- The Contour Pro (Contour Certification)
- Bronze Boss® Sample Pack
- Practice Paper Sheets
- Plus More!
Equipment and supplies such as machines, tents, etc., are not included in our courses as each artists intended structure for their business will vary. Your educator will provide you with personalized recommendations based on your structure and goals in addition to a discount code to purchase your equipment and supplies with Bronze Boss®.
Of course. However, we find that already certified artists excel best with mentorship sessions. These sessions are personalized and tailored to your unique needs. Please connect directly with your Bronze Boss™ educator to discuss options.
You will not need to bring any equipment/supplies to the live class. Your educator will provide all necessary items for you to utilize on training day.

It’s best to dress in dark, comfortable clothing with close-toed shoes as you will be very active during the live class. Other items you may want to bring include a notebook, pen, snacks, water.
Courses are held exclusively at our sunless studio located at:

Bronzier
1619 W 6th St. Unit A
Austin, TX 78703

We are located off of West 6th (building is teal with red/white trim) with both a front and rear entrance. Please park on the backside of the building (off of Campbell St.) and make your way up to the second level entrance door.
Registration closes two weeks prior to each course date. Unfortunately we are unable to permit students within the two-week timeframe due to ensuring enough time for Study Hall in addition to shipping your course materials to your Bronze Boss™ educator.
We are happy to answer. Please connect with us via email and a Bronze Boss® representative will be in touch soon.
