Choosing the Right Spray Tan Equipment
Selecting the perfect setup for your spray tan business starts with fully understanding your needs. Take the time to ask yourself a few questions to help you decide which equipment options are right for you.
First, how often do you plan on tanning clients? Daily, weekly, or occasionally? Some machines work best for high-volume settings, while others allow for more detailed, custom applications that take longer per session.
Also, consider your space: do you need something compact for travel, or will the machine stay in a dedicated room? At-home spray tan machines, for example, can be powerful, but not all are designed for repeated use or thicker solutions.
Finally, ask yourself what kind of support you need. At Norvell, we offer myriad training resources along with equipment to help you feel confident moving forward.
Setting Up for Success in Your Spray Tan Business
Whether building a salon, going mobile, or upgrading your kit, professional spray tan artists need machines and supplies that work together seamlessly.
What to Look for in an At-Home Spray Tan Machine
A good at-home spray tan machine should be compact, easy to clean, and powerful enough to give even coverage. Look for machines with adjustable settings and consistent airflow, as cheap models tend to clog or spray unevenly. Bonus points if it’s quiet and lightweight enough to stash between uses.
The Professional Standard: HVLP Airbrush Tanning Systems
When you’re evaluating which kind of machine or tanning system you want to use, you will see terms like HVLP spray tan machine or airbrush tanning system. These often refer to the same core technology that powers the professional sunless industry. HVLP (High Volume, Low Pressure) is the engine behind a flawless airbrush spray tan.
This technology uses a high volume of air to propel a fine mist of solution at a low, gentle pressure. This allows an artist to cover the body quickly and evenly with minimal overspray, making it the ideal choice for busy professionals who need efficient, consistent, and beautiful results for each client.
Essential Supplies and Accessories to Add On
The equipment doesn’t stop there. Try pairing your machine with disposable filters, tents, and barrier cream to keep sessions clean and smooth.
Norvell also offers solution cups, replacement parts, and cleaning tools that help extend the life of your professional spray tan equipment. These supplies and accessories may be small, but they save time and help protect your investment.

What’s the best spray tan machine for mobile techs?
Look for a lightweight HVLP spray tan machine with a compact turbine, quiet motor, and built-in storage for cords and guns. Portability and durability matter more than power alone.
Can I use any tanning solution with my equipment?
Most machines work with standard spray tan solutions, but always check viscosity compatibility. For guaranteed performance, all Norvell spray tan solutions and spray guns are designed to work together seamlessly. Our solutions are optimized for our HVLP and airbrush tanning systems to ensure a perfect, clog-free flow and flawless results for every application.
How do I reduce overspray during sessions?
Use a pop-up tent or overspray booth, and keep your gun at the right distance and angle. Proper gun technique and airflow settings go a long way in keeping your workspace clean. While tips can help, nothing beats hands-on instruction. For personalized coaching to perfect your gun technique and master a clean, efficient application, we highly recommend one on one training through Norvell Academy.
