spray tan cubicles (again sorry)

[kizzycat]

hello

i was reading a post (by lilypond i think) about buying a gazebo and making a makeshift spray booth.

I have just started doing mobile tans. so far i have relied on people having a shower cubicle or tiled bath. so that i can wash the area down afterwards. i use a compressor and airbrush. i was thinking of buying a booth as i have a client in a couple of weeks who wants a spray tan party but she only has a bath tub with painted walls behind it so i cant wash that down.

Also i cant put up my own shower curtain with suckers on cause she has no tiles. If you have a portable booth where do you spray? still in the bathroom? or in the living room? and what do you do for overspray, i know you can put a mat or covering on the floor but what about any other furniture. has anyone who has a cubible without extraction found that the overspray goes further than cubicle or floor? have you ever had any comeback or horror stories?

I have the Spraytan Cubicle - from the spraytan company. It is the big black thing that looks like a tent.
It really is good ( and so is their spraytan liquid too , its called Ocean)
I have mine permanantly set up in a side room at my salon, and although i use a spray gun with v good directional nozzle ( and the ocean liquid is quite gloopy so you have to turn the spray velocity down quite low) I still get overspray in my room. You dont get a wet floor in the cubicle at all so no brown soles to the feet so at first it seemed absolutely perfect, however, 6 months on I realise that there still is overspray in the air because it has found its way onto the few pieces of furniture in the room! It isnt a lot, and if the things wern't white I might not have seen the spray until i cleaned the surfaces, but it definately is there. The other liquid I used was wetter and you could see the overspray in the air - I dont get this now, but obviously some does escape.
My worry is ( and Ive been approached about parties) if you do a few people after one another the overspray is going to be much more - and you dont want to be in for a huge cleaning bill off your client!
The Sprayten Cubicle Company now do their 'tent' with an extractor fan built in - cant tell you the price but if you are going to do a lot I think itd be worth the investment - or buy lots of plastic dust sheets from B&Q and cover EVERYTHING!
Hope that all makes sense.
Which liquid do you use anyway?

Hi I've just started spray tanning, if the client has a large room without carpet you could spray them in there. I did it in my kitchen and covered the walls and floors. It was great, I opened the window for ventilation and there were no problems. A bit of the wall got sprayed but it wiped off straight away. I'm trying not to go down the tent route. To save money of course!!

I know you can do it like that ( i did too before i moved into my salon) but, if you go to someones house and spray and they find brown residue on their skirting boards and on top of fireplaces etc then they are going to know the spray has gone on otherplaces too. I think you could end up in trouble, with unhappy clients.

I've just bought a tan cubicle from Tantrick. It's great. I had to practice a few times (thought I was going to charge extra for entertainment value -client gets to see me wrestle with it) then I just suddenly got it - it really does go up and down in seconds. I am yet to get up to speed with the number of clients I would like to have, but no problems at all on the tans to date. No mess at all.
