Spray tan question

[Bernadine]

Is airbrush a lot better than the booth?  I'm perfectly willing to spend the money if you tell me yes.  My sister and I are going for a trial run this weekend, we're trying to figure out where to go.

You're less likely to have any mistakes or streaks with airbrush. I like the booth though (the 4 turn one) because it's much faster and I can go in naked. I've never had any problems with a booth. You can, of course, go naked with an airbrusher, but I don't.

I'll admit, I'm slightly dying at the thought of standing in front of someone topless.  Which doesn't make any sense, considering that I've taken my pants of for waxes, lol.

The airbrush is definitely superior to the booth, both in application and in color. They should customize the color based on what you want.

Don't worry about the naked factor, I think about it like the gyno- they've seen everything!

Definitely airbrush. We typically get DD airbrushed spray tan for huge competitions (white uniforms that make them all look like ghosts on the floor). The last time the lady wasn't free so we did a booth at Darque Tan and the results were extremely noticable, even though we did the versa. DD & a team mate ended up destroying our hotel bathroom covering it up with sally hansen's spray tan in a bottle.

I loved my results from air brush, and it wasn't as weird to get naked in front of the girl as I thought it would be. She was really cool and I figure they have seen plenty of naked people. Besides, if I was going to get a beautiful air brushed bronze I was not going to have any lines!

I spray tan people for (part of) my job. Most people are pretty self-conscious at first being naked, but I do provide paper panties for those that want them. I will tell you that I'm very meticulous (any good spray tanner will be) and actually kind of put it out of my head that a naked body is in my booth; to me it's more of a canvas, if that makes sense. I position my people and turn them so that I am SURE that there are no tan lines and even coverage. I even have them bend over and spread their legs to make sure to spray under their buttcheeks, and (they) lift their boobs so there's no tan line there, either. Then I have a buffing mitt to blend any weird areas. That tan is PERFECT when my clients leave, and you just won't get that in a booth.

Also, I charge only $30, and it lasts for 5-7 days.

Airbrush is definitely better! I have always gotten great results.

Related story, that I'm pretty sure I've told before: The first time I got an airbrush was before my wedding. I went topless but didn't want to go completely naked. I decided to wear brown underwear so any stains from the tan wouldn't show, and I didn't really think anything of the fact that the underwear was lace. I ended up with a lace patterned hush hush area and butt for my wedding.

Dd is usually pretty shy but she has no problem getting naked for an even tan. A few times she was worn a cotton thong but it's more so she can see the difference. It's always been very professional and the lady carries on a conversation with her and it has put her at ease.
