Tan Code 2025

And that’s how a tradition began…

Organizer

Hi, I’m Gabija, and “Tan Code” was born from a very simple, yet powerful idea - to bring spray tan artists together in one place. I wanted to create more than just an event. I wanted to build a space where women who are not afraid to step outside their comfort zone could come together – women who are eager to grow, learn, improve, and confidently explore the world of spray tanning alongside like-minded professionals.

Creating a community was especially important to me - one where every artist feels seen, understood, and inspired. The first event came with excitement, doubts, and even a bit of fear. It was a completely new concept in Lithuania, which raised many questions- would this idea be understood? Would it be needed? Would anyone want to be part of it?

But reality exceeded all expectations. The incredible women who gathered in one place created a truly special atmosphere - full of support, openness, and genuine connection. Seeing them connect, share their experiences and insights, openly talk about challenges, and celebrate achievements together was priceless. I truly believe it touched not only me, but every single participant.

After receiving so much positive feedback and questions about the next event, the decision became clear - “Tan Code” had to continue. And so, the second chapter was born - stronger and even more inspiring.

If you feel that you want more - more knowledge, more inspiration, more connection - I invite you to become not just a part of this event, but a member of a growing and supportive community. I’ll be truly happy to see you there!

Many of you already know Izabela – she was one of last year’s conference speakers. After receiving an overwhelming amount of positive feedback and seeing the huge interest in her presentation, we decided to invite her back again this year.

In 2026, Izabela introduced an innovative Hydrating Pre-Tan Mist, designed to enhance the client experience, help spray tanning professionals achieve even better treatment results, and strengthen their position as premium service providers in the market.

We have no doubt that this year’s presentation will once again be packed with valuable knowledge, practical tips, and inspiration for every spray tanning professional.

Edita Blusė

“You don’t need more clients.”

Edita Blusė has been working in the beauty industry for 11 years, with almost 7 of those years specializing in spray tanning.

“Like many beauty professionals, I once believed that growth meant more clients, a fully booked calendar, and more hours at work. But over time, I realized that a full calendar doesn’t necessarily mean a profitable business.

Throughout my career, I’ve invested tens of thousands of euros in education in Lithuania and abroad. I’m constantly learning from some of the world’s leading spray tanning professionals and business mentors, and I participate in international conferences and competitions, where I’ve won top placements.

But my biggest lessons didn’t come from certificates — they came from the everyday experience of building and running my own business.

Today, I want to share not theory, but what actually changed my perspective on business growth.

Because sometimes, in order to earn more, grow faster, and work with more peace of mind, you don’t need more clients.”
