Good stuff to read BEFORE you buy a used spray tan booth:

Before you buy a used sunless tanning booth...you should know there are about a dozen different types of automatic, walk-in-style, UV free spray tan booths on the market today and this website is intended to be utilized as a "forum" for buyers and sellers of used spray tan booths and not intended to infringe on any patents or copyrights of original manufacturers.  Our spray tan booth reviews are strictly the opinion of the author, who is not an expert, but merely a consumer and occasional user of UV free tanning equipment.  More used spray tan booth reviews...

A UV free spray tan booth is a big box with a plastic or stainless steel shell with spray nozzles which mist or "fog" the customer with a DHA chemical which interacts with your dead skin layer to turn it brown.  The nozzle has a positive charge, similar to a powder coating spray paint gun, so when the formula is shot from the spray nozzle it carries a positive charge and seeks a "ground" through your body, which makes the "mist" attract to every inch of your exposed skin and evenly distributing the "chemical" over your body except where you applied "barrier cream". 

This polarizing technology works with sunless tan applications in that it ensures a 100% coverage of the FDA approved DHA chemical which interacts with your dead skin layer to turn it brown.  The disadvantage of this system is the process itself is very cold and almost "shocking" to your body when the blast of mist is released in the booth and attracts to your body.  Another disadvantage is if you do not carefully place barrier cream on your palms, elbows, etc, your skin will turn "orange" in those places.  Other concerns include clogging nozzles and the mess inside the unit but this problem can be eliminated with a water wash down system and cleaning up after each customer has finished the session. Many of the used spray tan booths for sale on this website have this "wash down" feature and is considered standard by many manufacturers.

The sunless tanning industry leaders are Magic Tan and Mystic Tan and they produce half of the spray tanning booths for sale on this website and 80% of the new stuff produced in the US today, if not more.  They now produce a HD model, which stands for "heaters" and "dryers", and the feedback I receive from all the salon owners who call me is that this is the break-thru technology the industry has been waiting for.  My personal reservations have been expressed above regarding the "coldness" of the experience coupled with the other big negative of UV free spray tanning was the "waiting" time to dry in fear of staining your clothes, etc.  This exciting new model called Versa Spa has built in heaters and dryers to create a much better and even tan and I encourage you to buy a new one if your budget will allow.  You can read more about the new Magic Tan VersaSpa by visiting their official website and see for yourself exactly how the spray tanning process works.
