1. Airbrushes are amazing tools for painting details like fingernails and ornaments. They are capable of painting a body but doing so may take 30 minutes or longer which is an incredibly bad idea in a business environment. Some of our salons do thirty to forty spray tans a day. With an airbrush this would take a good 17-24 hours.
2. A turbine HVLP system easily covers a client in about three minutes.
3. An airbrush uses highly compressed air. This is an explosive action that pretty much vaporizes the solution and creates a lot of vapor cloud.
4. HVLP stands for High Volume Low Pressure. This simply means that with a much bigger hose that transports a much larger volume of air at low pressure. It is a vastly superior delivery system for something a large as a human body.
5. The terms HVLP and Turbine are used interchangeably and generally mean the same thing..
6. An airbrush is about the size of a regular pencil while a true HVLP gun is about the size of a hair dryer.
7. An airbrush hose is about the same diameter as a regular pencil while a true HVLP hose is usually 3/4" (about the size of a large garden hose)
8. An airbrush is powered by a compressor which is an electric motor that usually compresses air with a piston.
9. An HVLP is a turbine system.This is a powerful fan (fans) that is capable of creating an incredible volume of air which is channeled into a hose and through the sophisticated spray gun.
10. Some manufacturers call their regular airbrush equipment, HVLP and design larger airbrushes that mimic the look of HVLP guns. This is very deceptive. In in reality they are simply airbrushes which need compressors and small air hoses.This is why there is the need to use the term (TRUE HVLP)
11. Airbrushes were developed to do fine detail.
12. Turbine or (HVLP) was designed to cover larger surfaces such as furniture, cabinets and automobiles.
13. Laser use for spray tanning is a gimmick that was created to appeal to people who have not yet learned about how to spray tan and are thus more easily convinced that this will somehow make the application easier. This is kind of like attaching a laser to you hair dryer.
14. It is a common mistake to buy cheap or even overpriced models of HVLP systems available that DO NOT use guns designed for spray tanning so you need to be careful in choosing a system. Make sure you are buying from a company that sells spray tanning HVLP equipment.
15. All equipment and solution has some overspray. It is misleading to claim that a solution or gun creates no overspray. Spraying in and of itself is making a liquid airborne and in so doing you will always have some solution particles that do not attach to the skin.
16. If you are doing spray tanning as a business, you will need to have a spray booth, room or tent that is capable of confining and filtering the air. Two filtration units is best. Some people simply use the pop-up without buying a filtration system, we strongly recommend that you get a powerful filtration device or two. Some companies use three. We feel that two is plenty if they are full power 20x20 filter systems.
