Introduction to Sunless Tanning Booths
Sunless tanning
booths have
progressed
significantly in
the past 5 years
to a more
efficient and
comfortable
session for the
user. Not
long ago, the
automatic-type
UV free spray
tanning booths
were a "cold and
startling"
experience that
left the user
cold, wet and
staining
their
clothes as they
were getting
dressed.
Now, since the
Magic Tan
VersaSpa and
Mystic Tan HD models came
along, sales and
use of sunless
booths are
sky-rocketing
because they
have
incorporated
"heaters and
dryers"
into the
process.
Tanning salons
who have lived
through
the decline of
UV tanning by
their customers
are now seeing a
flood of new
business from
more healthy
alternatives
like sunless
tanning.
An inexpensive
sunless option
for salon owners
and their
customers is the
hand-held, body
spraying type
you can buy for
less than $500
but the
disadvantages
soon become
apparent.
Hand-held models
require an
attendant to be
scheduled and
hopefully show
up for scattered
appointments and
then execute the
uncomfortable
spraying process
while the
customer is
undressed.
Automatic UV
free
spray
tanning booths
eliminate the
need for a
technician and
now feature
voice prompting
to help the
customer through
the session
while they are
alone in the
room. If
you are a
tanning salon,
day spa, or
health club
owner and want
to offer your
customers
the "future" of
indoor tanning,
then we strongly
recommend adding
a sunless spray
tanning booth.

about set up and
features below.
The
setup required
for an automatic
spray tan booth
is
identical for
most newer
models with the
water wash down
feature.
If you are new
to these
devices, after
the
customer exits
the booth, the
computer system
sends a
water-fall of
water down all
sides to help
clear the over
spray from the
walls and floor.
This drain water
is collected in
a basin which is
about 10" high
and serves as
the base for the
entire unit and
the platform for
the customer to
stand upon.
This design and
construction
technique allows
you to place
these units in
most rooms that
are
at least 8' x 8'
and can have
access to cold
water and a
drain.
The cold water
and drain
typically look
like the same as
a washer and
dryer hook-up,
but without the
need for hot
water (floor
drain is not
required).
The
sunless
booth will come
with two
standard garden
hose size male
adapters with
about 6 feet of
length to
connect to the
salon's
system...which
can be done in
any number of
ways. The
power required
is usually less
than 20 amps and
most models
operate on 110
volt power.
The ceiling
height also
needs to be a
solid 8 1/2 feet
tall because the
unit needs to
accommodate 6' +
people and the
height of the
base.
The
ideal room for
an automatic
type sunless
spray tanning
booth is at
least 8' x 8' x
8' and
in the back of
the salon by the
bathroom for
easy access to
utilities.

typical
setup diagram
for a Mystic Tan
HD. We also

used spray tan
booths for sale
