If you’re considering getting a sunless tan, you might be wondering: airbrush tanning in Austin vs. booth tanning — which is better? At 360 Tans, we’ve seen the difference firsthand, and we believe custom airbrush tanning always comes out on top.

Here’s why.

Airbrush Tanning in Austin – The Personal Touch

When you choose airbrush tanning in Austin, you’re choosing:


Custom Color Matching

  • Your tan is mixed to match your unique undertones and desired depth.

  • No more guessing if the booth color will look natural on you!

Hand Application

  • A trained technician applies your tan, carefully blending tricky areas like ankles, wrists, and hairlines.

Adjustable Rinse Times

  • Rapid or traditional formulas let you choose how soon you want to shower — perfect for Austin’s busy lifestyles.

Clear Solution Options

  • Great for weddings, light clothing, or subtle results without bronzer transfer.


Booth Tanning – Quick but Generic

Automated booths can seem convenient, but they have limitations:


🚫 One-size-fits-all solution

  • Booths typically offer just a few pre-set shades.

🚫 Higher Risk of Streaks

  • No technician to blend solution in areas prone to buildup.

🚫 Difficult for Unique Body Types

  • Tall, petite, plus-size, or highly muscular bodies may not fit the spray pattern well.

🚫 No Personal Consultation

  • Booths can’t advise you on undertones, rinse times, or special prep needs.


When Booth Tanning Might Be Tempting

We’re honest — booths do have some pros:

  • Faster for people in a huge rush.

  • May feel more private for extremely shy first-timers.


But the truth? Even shy clients tell us they’d rather have a flawless, custom tan than risk streaks or orange results.
