The type of spray tan machine you get can go a long way into materializing your spray tanning aspirations. This is true for tanning enthusiasts and hobbyists and is especially true for anyone with a goal of starting a spray tanning business. All too often people assume that practice makes perfect, which is a valid point but without the proper equipment it is an impossible task. Some spray tan machines are faulty, leak, and make an unacceptable mess. These shortcomings might be tolerated if your neighbor is sloppily spraying you in a bathtub. But this isn’t the right approach if you are adamant about offering or receiving a quality tan.
HLVP Spray Tan Machines For Professional Spray Tanning
The Basics Of Spray Tan Machines
There is nothing intimidating about the parts and operation of a spray tan machine. Educating yourself on how each part functions and why each part is important is crucial because you will have an idea of what to aim for when shopping for a spray tan machine.
- HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) is a spray that will emit the tanning mist. It can be powered by either a compressor or turbine, which we will discuss in a little bit. The better the HVLP gun the less likely you’ll over spray, and keep in mind a spray tan requires finesse. A good quality HLVP gun will be more accurate and result in a better tan, a poor quality one will result in a leaking lousy tan.
- Compressor Powered or Turbine Driven – A compressor is more powerful but less mobile. With a turbine you can literally carry all your equipment on your back. A HVLP turbine driven spray tan machine is a solution for when you want to be mobile, such as visiting people’s homes and spray tanning them there. A compressor is ideal for someone who has a physical business such a spray tanning salon. Power or Mobility is the choice you will have to decide. Too much power isn’t really necessary but having too little power can make your work as a spray tanner miserable.
