Why You Should Get a Custom Spray Tan Rather than Use an Automatic Spray Tan Booth

When it comes to the options that are available to you for tanning these days things can get a little confusing. There are tanning beds, spray tans, tanning booths, stand up tanning booths and high pressure tanning and…well, things can get a little muddled for a tanning pro let alone a new comer to tanning! So today we thought we would share a few tips on why it is better to get a custom professionally applied spray tan rather than use an automatic spray tan booth. Both of these options offer the opportunity to get a sunless tanning experience; however, if given a choice, our clients would choose the professionally applied spray tanning option every time!

5 Reasons You Should Get a Professional Spray Tan Rather than Use an Automatic Spray Tan Booth

1. Personal Attention

While walking in to a spray tanning booth may give the appearance of getting a professional spray tan, the lack of personal attention means that your “professional” spray tan is going to be only as good as the machine that gave it to you! With a custom spray tan you have a professional spray tanning technician with you at all times, applying your spray tan and making sure that every place on your body receives an even natural looking tan.

2. No Detail is Missed

The personal attention in #1 also explains why no detail is missed when you use custom spray tanning. With your own personal tanning technician (who will explain every step as they go) you will not end up with those irritating half moon circles under your buttocks where the automatic spray tan booth didn’t spray. Custom spray tanning also means that your tan will be applied evenly so that you do not wind up with an uneven tan or dripping streaks that often happen in automated booths since there are no explicit directions being given to you to let you know precisely what to do and when to do it!

3. The Ability To Take Care of Certain Areas!

Everybody has areas of their body that could use a little extra tan – did you know that many body builders give the illusion of having much firmer abs by the method in which they apply their sunless tan? Automated spray tanning booths are unable to give that type of attention to detail and if you are looking to get a tan that not only bronzes but also flatters then you will definitely want to talk to a custom spray tanning technician!

4. Customize Your Tan to Your Needs!

When you step in to an automated spray tanning booth there are no questions about areas that you would like a little darker, or areas that need a little touching up from your last spray tan, instead there is one flat tan that is applied all over your body. When you get a custom airbrush tan your personal tanning technician will maintain an open line of communication about what you desire from your spray tanning experience and they will be able to customize your tan to your specific needs!

5. The Outcome

Nobody wants to look unnatural!  We have all heard the horror stories of bad Mystic tans or even experienced them firsthand.  Unfortunately these stories and experiences have given spray tanning a bad name and the first thing everyone says is......they make you look orange!  In many cases this is true, especially when using a spray tan booth or self tanners.  At WestCoast, we use the absolute best solution available.  We have researched and tested countless sunless formulas to ensure we provide our clients with the most beneficial solution for their skin, and of course the most natural color you will find. 

Final Custom Spray Tan Thoughts

There is a reason that most of our clients prefer a custom spray tan, they love the personal attention and the ability to cater their tanning experience to their own bodies rather than the shape that a machine thinks they should be! If you are new to spray tanning, a professionally applied WestCoast custom spray tan is definitely the way to go if you are looking for that natural looking tan!  If you've been considering a UV free spray tan give us a call today and let us introduce you to THE NEW ERA OF TANNING!
