We all remember the famous scene from Friends. A tanning booth mishap leads Ross to a tan that can only be described as ‘neenish tart’ aesthetic. Although a somewhat exaggerated comical mishap, it does accurately show what can happen in a tanning booth due to user error.

Spray tanning has been popular since the late 90’s, but back before technicians took over they were seen as a risk and had a reputation of being ‘hit and miss’. Now decades later, while some may still opt for tanning booths, there’s a strong case to be made for getting your spray tan from a trained technician.

Here’s why:

Precision Personalisation

Trained technicians are experts at achieving the perfect tan. They can customise the tanning solution to match your skin tone and achieve your desired level of colour.

Whether you want a subtle glow or a deep bronze, they have the knowledge and skill to make it happen. In contrast, tanning booths offer a one-size-fits-all approach, which may not provide the precision and personalization you need to achieve your desired look.

Even Coverage

One of the most common issues with tanning booths is uneven coverage.

It’s challenging to ensure that every nook and cranny of your body gets an even application of the tanning solution when you’re inside a booth. Trained technicians, on the other hand, can use their expertise to ensure that every inch of your skin is evenly coated, resulting in a more natural and uniform tan.

Reduced Risk of Over-Tanning

Tanning booths can be deceiving. The lack of personalisation and precision can lead to over-tanning, leaving you with a shade that’s far too dark for your liking.

Our trained technicians at Epsom Spray Tan, however, are skilled at assessing your skin type and ensuring that you achieve a tan that complements your natural features. This reduces the risk of ending up with a tan that’s too intense or unnatural.

Expert Advice

A trained technician is a valuable source of information when it comes to spray tanning. Our technicians can provide you with guidance on pre-tan preparation and post-tan care to ensure that your tan lasts as long as possible.

After over a decade leading the market, we can also answer any questions you have about the process, helping you feel more confident and informed about your choice.

Mistakes are Fixable

If something goes wrong during a spray tan session with our trained technicians, we can often fix it immediately. Whether it’s a streak, a missed spot, or an uneven application, they have the expertise to make adjustments and ensure that you leave with a flawless tan. In a tanning booth, you’re on your own, and any mistakes are more difficult to rectify.

Personalised Recommendations

At Epsom Spray Tan we can recommend the best type of tanning solution for your skin type and desired results. Our staff can take into account factors like your skin’s undertones, texture, and any specific concerns you have. This personalised approach ensures that you get the best possible outcome for your unique skin.

Confidence Boost

Getting a spray tan from a trained technician can be a confidence-boosting experience. Knowing that you’re in the hands of a skilled professional can help you relax and enjoy the process. Plus, leaving with a flawless tan can give you a confidence boost that lasts long after your session is over.

Avoiding Tan Lines

Trained technicians can help you avoid tan lines by strategically applying the tanning solution to create a seamless and natural look. This can be especially important if you have a special occasion coming up where you want to wear a specific outfit without visible tan lines.

More Than Just a Tan

Finally, our trained technicians can provide you with more than just a tan. They can offer tips on how to maintain your tan, recommend products to enhance its longevity, and even provide additional beauty services like contouring to enhance your overall look.

Ultimately while tanning booths offer some level of convenience, spray tans done by trained technicians offer a level of precision, personalisation, and expertise that is hard to match. If you want a flawless and natural-looking tan that complements your unique features, opting for a trained technician is the way to go. It’s an investment in both your appearance and your confidence, and the results speak for themselves.
