Through strategic beauty school partnerships, Norvell equips cosmetology school programs with the industry’s most respected spray tan curriculum, giving your grads a distinct advantage that employers and clients recognize right off the bat. 

Founded and led by industry professionals who built successful spray tan businesses from the ground up, Norvell University is the premier spray tanning training program, with more than 30,000 attendees trained to date. In fact, in the last three years alone, approximately 3,500 students have earned their Norvell certification through partner school programs across the country.

Our comprehensive curriculum blends product science and proven techniques to deliver the hands-on education that prepares students for real-world success. By aligning your program with the #1 name in sunless training, you don’t just add a course: you differentiate your entire school.

Leading cosmetology programs across the country, including big names like Tricoci University, integrate Norvell into their curriculum because industry professionals rank it at the top of the category. Long-standing partnerships with schools, national salon adoption, and consistent professional preference reinforce Norvell’s position as the benchmark in sunless education.

With Norvell, your students train with the same professional-grade solutions and equipment that top-performing spray tan artists nationwide rely on. 

From advanced formulations that deliver consistent, natural-looking results across every skin tone, to industry-standard spray systems and accessories, every element of the hands-on experience mirrors what graduates will encounter when working in a salon. That means when they step into their first role, they’re not learning on the job. Instead, they’re performing proudly from day one. 

Some partner schools are already going a step further. Neihule Academy of Beauty in Los Angeles has made the Oasis Handheld Spray Tan Gun a standard piece of equipment in every esthetics student's enrollment kit, meaning students own professional-grade tools from their first weeks, and many go on to begin spraying paying clients while still in school.

Increase Graduate Employability & Success 

A Norvell certification signals specialized expertise in a service category that continues to grow across salons, spas, and independent studios. 

Hiring managers recognize the credential as formal, hands-on training rather than informal exposure. Graduates also gain a service that can generate immediate revenue through mobile appointments, in-suite offerings, or salon add-ons, giving them flexibility and control as they build their careers.

A Turn-Key Solution with Dedicated Support

New programs fail when they create friction for instructors, but Norvell removes that friction. We provide a complete implementation package that includes a structured, ready-to-teach curriculum, detailed training materials, hands-on instructors onboarding, and ongoing account management to keep your program running smoothly semester after semester. 

When your instructors teach, they teach with clarity and confidence because our team stands behind every element of the program, from initial setup to real-time troubleshooting, so your staff never feels like they’re building something from scratch. 

A Simple Path to Partnership 

Getting started is straightforward. Schools typically connect with Norvell through a referral, a SalonCentric class, an industry event, or by reaching out directly. 

From there, our team schedules a consultation to understand your program's structure, class sizes, and goals, whether you're building a certification track from scratch, switching from another brand, or looking for periodic refresher training for your instructors. 

Once aligned, your administrator signs a Partnership Agreement, your school gains access to exclusive educational pricing, and your first training session is on the calendar. The entire process works around your schedule and your students' needs.
