Hi peeps can i have your thoughts? I am now down to choosing my spray tanning kit but would like your advice!
Is it better to use an airbrush or airgun?
Are there any particular spray tanning kits you use?

Could really use your help, my head is all over the place!!

Thanks

Hi, i use the XL2000 su do tanning kit with airbrush and think it is excellent, i am mobile but if i were in a salon i would invest in the spray gun it is much quicker and easier to apply. I think there is more overspray with the airgun though but i am not sure. I have a little with the airbrush although not much. I think the HVLP systems are heavy so wouldn't be any good for mobile use.


Why don't you try and have a demo?

Hi Mamma
Thanks for your reply, so your saying that because i am doing mobile and i don't want overspray the airbrush is better. i was actually thinking of getting the su-do kit but to use with Fantasy tan? I think it was the tc5000 kit????

Do you use su-do product?

Thanks

I was told that this kit is useful if you are continuosly spraying. Being mobile your not gonna be doing it continously, maybe if you have tanning parties which i do , i have sprayed 6 in a row and my compresser was fine. You will need to be aware of the weight, mine is heavy and i have the smaller one. I do tanning, nail, and tattoos with mine and it has been fine.....until recently where i have a problem with my focus airbrush. I use the XL2000 airbrush for tanning and it takes me approx. 10 mins to do a full body dependant on size of course. The airgun wuld take about 3-5 minutes. when i did my training i was told that with the airbrush yu are more likely to miss places, but if you follow a set pattern/routine of tanning this wont be a problem......i have had no complaints with 100% repeat custom. My clients have preferred my airbrush to the spray tanning booths.

i was in two mind wether to get th 5000 compressor but for the price and the difference it would make for me i decided on the XL2000. I find this is enough for the services above.

Ask for a demo

I use the su do tanning lotions. Both bronze and dark. i like both and are very natural looking. I ahve found that the bronze hasn't been dark enough for some people, but to me if you go too tanned it can look false and tango'd ,IMO. Both are nice. I have the fake bake as it is suppose to be dark although i havn't tried it yet, i am happy with what i have butthe Fantasy tan is also popular. I think it is a mind field and will pull your hair out deciding on what system to use, mine is perfect for me and am very pleased with it.

just bumping this back up coz i still need advice xx

Hi ya, i use the HVLP system as that was what i trained with as part of the Solglo course, you may want to check out the website www.nuress.com , it is the HVLP system but it may give you some more help x

can you explain to me the difference between an hvlp and a normal compressor and which one is better for mobile use?
Thanks xx

I would say the compresser as it is lighter to carry. the hvlp systems can be quite heavy to carry and not really suitable for mobile. ALthough saying this i think Solglo offer the HVLP system for mobile use. HVLP = high volume low pressure, as far as i am aware they use more solution with more overspray
