Both produce sunless color. They get there differently, and the right one depends on what you actually want.
Neither option is objectively better — they solve slightly different problems, and knowing which one you need saves you from booking the wrong appointment.
A booth applies an even mist from fixed angles in under a minute. Custom airbrush takes longer because a person is adjusting the application to your specific body as they go — more product where you want it, less where you do not, blended by hand at the joints where a fixed spray pattern struggles most.
Because a machine runs the same pattern every time, a booth removes variation between appointments and between technicians. That consistency is genuinely useful if you are getting tanned regularly and want a predictable result each time.
Uneven skin tone, scarring, specific areas you want lighter or darker, or particularly stubborn spots like ankles and hands are where hand application has a real advantage — a person can see and correct in the moment, a machine cannot.
Custom airbrush appointments generally run longer and cost more than a booth session, given the additional time and attention involved. If you want fast, reliable, all-over color, a booth is the more practical choice. If you have specific areas of concern or want the most even possible result, airbrush is worth the extra time.
Product sensitivity is not tied to which method applies it — it is tied to your skin and the product itself. If you have reacted to a sunless product before, a patch test is worth asking about regardless of which service you book.
