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.
