Former Healthcare Professional Melissa Lunsford Is The Latest Certified Spray Tanning Technician From America's Leading Spray Tanning Training Center Hollywood Airbrush Tanning Academy.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 11, 2013

Reputed spray tanning training center Hollywood Airbrush Tanning Academy continues to grow in terms of their reputation. They have announced their latest certified Airbrush Tanning Technician to emerge in the growing field of airbrush tanning. This form of sunless tanning is now preferred much more than the traditional form of sun tanning because it saves the skin from exposure to ultraviolet radiation. However, being an emerging field, finding a proper training platform to become a spray tanning professional is not easy. Simone Emmons, the owner and the founder of Hollywood Airbrush Tanning Academy, is one of the most proficient spray tanning experts in the country. She continues to run her own Airbrush Tanning business on a daily basis. Her knowledge, experience, and caring approach have led to the exemplary success of the Hollywood Airbrush Tanning Academy. The academy program is different because it teaches students hands-on and in private settings. The Hollywood Airbrush Tanning Academy only takes on 1-2 students each class because they focus on each student individually. This is why the spray tanning program has a high success rate.

Melissa Lunsford has been a successful healthcare professional teaching CPR, First Aid, and AED courses for the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association for several years. She has also worked as an Emergency Medical Technician and a Medical Assistant for a dermatology practice. Talking about her decision to learn airbrush tanning, she says, "There are several reasons why I wanted to learn airbrush tanning and the most important one was when I was working in Dermatology, I was exposed to so many people with sun damage and Melanoma and the thought of laying out in the sun to get some color was just not an option for me anymore. I am a fair skinned person so I was always laying out or going to the tanning salon to try and achieve some color and came across airbrush tanning, which I fell in love with immediately, I could get tanner than I ever would laying out in the sun and it only took a few minutes!"

Melissa's business "Spray Tans by Melissa" is presently offering mobile spray tanning services covering the Lakewood, Long Beach, Bellflower, Cerritos, Artesia, Los Alamitos, Seal Beach, Norwalk, Downey, Whittier, La Habra, Santa Fe Springs, Cypress, and all other surrounding areas. "I currently run a mobile business and will come to you to tan you and/or your friends and family, but I eventually want to open my own spray tan salon that offers spray tanning for individuals, groups, parties, and for those who wish to get hair tinsels", she says, about her future plans. She has also thanked Simone for all her support saying, "She taught me everything I need to know about spray tanning from actually spray tanning technique to opening my own business and I couldn't thank her enough for that". Melissa can be contacted on her website at http://www.spraytansbymelissa.com or at (562) 964-0790.
