As you guess the comparison is unfair to begin with but it is essential that one knows the positives and negatives of home spray tanning as well as spray tanning in salons. The biggest difference that comes to mind is that when you are in a tanning salon being sprayed it is usually a professional tanner that is applying the tanning mist on your body. They can pretty much see and reach any part of your body. Those difficult to reach angles are no problem whatsoever. Administering the tanning spray at home is another matter altogether because tanning many parts of your body will be arduous. A chore actually because it will be difficult to spray your back, or shoulder blades.
Professional spray tanning does come at a price and sometimes it can be a pricey price tag. You’ll see models and celebrities with perfect tans and those are courtesy of professional spray tanners that charge a couple of hundred dollars per session. Of course there is in between I simply wanted to illustrate the higher end price scale so you’ll have an idea of what the premium cost is. Spray tanning salons charges vary from salon to salon and city to city. The average could be anywhere between $40-$80 for one session. Some salons offer deals where you receive a discount by purchasing several sessions in advance.
When we say home spray tanning, this usually involves spraying tanning systems that cost anywhere from $150 to several thousand dollars. The equipment usually includes an airbrush and replenish-able tanning mist. Some of these systems are so expensive and sophisticated that they require routine maintenance. Home spray tanning systems as you probably guessed by now are quite an investment and certainly don’t guarantee a perfect tan.
Careful research is mandatory before making any purchase and it is also worth reading into the fine print. Some manufactures omit return policy details, so it is best to ask every question on your mind before taking out the checkbook. Read the reviews, try the product out first without buying and after doing that, read more reviews and try the product out some more. Many people actually actually inquire about home spray tanning systems because of privacy issues as they feel uncomfortable going into tanning salons. If that’s the case then working on that issue should proceed any purchase.
