The explosive growth of sunless tanning has opened the doors to a new client
base for many spas and salons. Sunless airbrushing and body art have become
two of the hottest fashion trends. The following companies offer portable airbrush
systems to spas and salons looking to add these services to their mix.
 TAT
International
Salons and spas can offer two hot new service trends with just one piece of
equipment from TAT International—the TAT & TAN System, which provides fabulously
designed, temporary, airbrushed tattoos and a sunless tan, the company says.
There are more than 200 stencils including arm bands, butterflies and skulls.
The Nazille vibrant body paint is 100-percent organic and FDA approved.
The Spectrum Color Changer with Airbrush lets the service technician quickly
switch colors by simply changing a dial. The safe, painless TAT will last up
to a week depending on skin type. The nonallergenic SATan sunless solution is
unique to TAT International. The DHA formula takes 15 to 20 minutes to apply
and color can last three to seven days.
