Introducing the Mist-On Tan Sassy Booth
Technology by Dr. Laughlin

10-20-04

The originator of the sunless spray booth concept, Dr. Tom Laughlin, introduces another breakthrough in automated sunless tanning. A booth under $20,000 that gives you a tan approaching the quality you expect from the original Mist-On Tan booth.

It’s named Sassy, which is an acronym for Self-contained Automated Spray SYstem. It was earlier referred to as the Mist-On Tan Express.

What’s the difference between the new Sassy booth and the original Mist-On Tan Savvy booth ( Self-contained Automated Ventilated Vertical-column s Ystem)? According to Dr. Laughlin, “The main difference is that our new Sassy model is only the second best spray booth on the market. But it’s a lot more than just a stripped-down Savvy booth. We take our motto, Driven by Technology, Proven by Quality, very seriously. We used our seven years of experience as the technology leader in sunless spray-booth tanning to identify special conditions that provide uniform misting without air atomization. This simplified misting system drastically reduces the construction cost, yet produces a tan comparable in quality to the #1 ranked Mist-On Tan associated with our Savvy booth.”

While the two booths are very similar in appearance, the Sassy design is much simpler. The key to its simplicity is the use of four nozzles using hydraulic atomization instead of eight nozzles using air atomization. “Combining recent advances in nozzle manufacturing along with modifications in our sunless tanning solution and use of our misting-column concept, we were able to produce an incredibly uniform spray profile without air atomization,” explained Dr. Laughlin.

The successful application of hydraulic atomization affords several other benefits:

• a tanning time reduced to 30 seconds.
• reduced potential for inhalation or ingestion of tanning solution.
• power requirements reduced to 110 volts, 20 amps.
• potential do-it-yourself installation.

Shipment of Sassy booths will begin in December. The $19,900 price is being offered as an introductory special good through the end of the year. The #1 rated Mist-On Tan Savvy booth will continue to be offered at $39,900. Both Sassy and Savvy booths will be operated at the ITA Tanning Show in Orlando in mid-November.
