Airbrush system recommendations!

Hello all and thanks for reading this!

I am slowly but surely on my way to starting a small airbrush tanning operation. However, in Oregon you now have to have an estitician license to airbrush people :( I have been a fair-skinned airbrush junkie since 17 and want to provide a service that I love and believe in.

Can anyone recommend an airbrush system that is somewhat portable (i.e. I can use in my client's homes, a salon and eventually take it to a airbrush studio in the future without having to buy a whole other system). I came across alot of "all natural" solutions (my preference) with the machines, but they are all very expensive and I want to make an educated decision.

Any particular airbrush machine and solution vendor(s) that you love?

Thanks for any feedback - I really appreciate it!

I just purchased the Norvell airbrushing system and although I am still practicing, I love it already! The solution smells like coconut! The results have been natural looking and the spray gun is really simple to use...good luck

Re: Airbrush system recommendations!

novell is $500 and caltan is $900...which makes me wonder what the main differences are between the two systems? it is not super-clear what the differences are just by reading the product descriptions of each.....hmmmm

i will probably get the novell to start...i can always upgrade if business is going okay

thank you!

Re: Airbrush system recommendations!

Breeze sol. is the best IMO, you can have diff levels of DHA for fair or dark skin. Talk to tom miller, he helped set us up. I have a new spray system coming in to do portable sprays with, we use cal tan autobronzer in the salon. I'll pm you a price for the newer smaller system.

Re: Airbrush system recommendations!

I can't say much about other systems I haven't tried. I have seen them all but none compare in looks to Infinity Sun's Spa. I'm very happy with the results and the simplicity of this unit. Pricey but worth it IMO. :)

Re: Airbrush system recommendations!

We use Tom Miller at Breeze or Breezeproducts.com they have different levels of solution from light to really dark. We tried cal tan and norvell but they were a bit orange for our clients. His phone number is 1-888-330-8570 tell him you want the nikko / cabana tan discount.....

Re: Airbrush system recommendations!

I thought she was asking about the airbrush system and not solution. :)
