I only use the Versa Spa Spray Tan Booth and honestly, it's great for a last minute tan if you want to have some color and just want the convenience of walking into a place and have a machine spray you. The Versa Spa is NOT as good as a person spraying you but it DOES have some significant upsides. #1 you don't need an appointment and you can walk in and get a spray at the last minute #2 If you don't feel like having the personal interaction of getting naked in front of a girl that sprays you...then this is a nice alternative...the machine don't talk to you and it is VERY fast! #3 The color (on me at least) is actually very natural. #4 It dries VERY fast...You can literally go straight to the gym. This is a VERY big benefit for me. The personal spray tans can take anywhere from 2-6 hours to dry. No bra etc after those kinds of sprays...which makes those a very serious downside. This is a really big benefit for me. I look like I have the flu without a little tan and this does the trick quickly! The down side? The spray tan doesn't last nearly as long as Nourelle and other brands that you get when an individual personally sprays you. The tan literally lasts for only 2 - 3 showers and it's gone. If you plan a day at the pool, plan on fading as you swim. So there are positives and negatives...it depends on what you are looking for - and for me....it is a good last minute option- if the spray solution every changes where it will last longer....I will upgrade my stars to five!
