Spray tan pros connect at UK’s first Glowfest

The inaugural Glowfest event took place in London recently bringing together spray tan professionals from across the UK and Europe for a refreshing blend of networking, inspiration and community.

The event was organised by ABT member Izabela Jachowska, founder of The Tanning Academy UK and Spray Tan Leicester, alongside Brigita Micke, founder of GloyaBeauty and GloyaTan.

Inspiration for the event was born from their own real-life connection and a shared desire to offer spray tan artists something deeper than online interaction.

Izabela Jachowska (pictured) explains:

“GlowFest is more than an event. It's the beginning of a community movement; a movement showing what's possible when women choose connection over competition. A space where we support each other instead of comparing ourselves. Where we grow together and celebrate each other's success as if it were our own.”

The event fostered an environment where artists could share wins, challenges and honest conversations about the realities of working solo. Plus, the brand-neutral ethos allowed participants to connect authentically, exchange knowledge and build supportive relationships.

Plans for GlowFest 2027 are already underway – watch this space!
