Custom Spray Tan vs. Booth Tan: Which Is Better?

If you’ve been thinking about getting a spray tan, you’ve probably come across two options: the automated booth or a custom spray tan. While both promise a bronzed look, the experience and results are very different.

At True Glow, we believe in giving our clients the best, and that’s why we specialize in custom airbrush spray tanning. Let’s break down the key differences so you can decide which option fits your needs.

---

Custom Spray Tan Application

Custom Spray Tan: Hand-applied by a trained specialist who adjusts technique for your body’s unique curves.

Booth Tan: Automated machine sprays the same formula in pre-programmed bursts, without adjusting for your shape.

---

Results

Custom Spray Tan: Even, natural, and tailored to your skin tone. Technicians can also contour for extra definition.

Booth Tan: Often leaves streaks or uneven patches, especially around tricky areas like hands, feet, or elbows.

---

Customization

Custom Spray Tan: Every session is personalized—shade, depth, and technique are chosen to match your goals.

Booth Tan: Limited to preset levels (light, medium, dark) with little room for adjustment.

---

Comfort

Custom Spray Tan: A professional guides you through the process, so you know exactly how to stand and move for the best results.

Booth Tan: You’re on your own inside the booth, hoping the machine covers every angle.

---

Skin Health

Custom Spray Tan: Uses premium, skin-friendly formulas that hydrate while they tan.

Booth Tan: Quality depends on the salon—some use generic, drying solutions.

---

Longevity

Custom Spray Tan: Fades naturally and evenly with proper care, lasting up to 10 days.

Booth Tan: More likely to fade unevenly, leaving blotches or patchy spots.

Why Custom Spray Tanning Wins

Spray tanning is part science, part art. With a custom spray tan, you get the benefit of an experienced technician who can blend, contour, and choose the right solution for your skin tone. That level of detail is impossible to replicate in a machine.

At True Glow, we’ve helped countless Mequon clients switch from booths to custom airbrush tanning—and they never look back. The difference in color, comfort, and confidence is immediate.
