Barber airbrush - new popular tool for hair stylists
Airbrushes for Barbers: Enhance your barber shop services and improve customer satisfaction with Precision Technology.
Barbers have an excellent opportunity to stand out professionally and commercially by offering hair styles that not only satisfy what their clients want, but also make each client feel more attractive and confident. For many barbers, there is no better motivational and professional reward than seeing their clients smile with satisfaction after an excellent haircut. In recent years, barbers have access to a novel tool that allows them to stand out even more in their services; this tool is the airbrush for barbering.
What is a Barber Airbrush and How Does it Work?
A barber airbrush is a reduced airbrushing system such that the airbrush and compressor assembly practically fits in one hand. This system is compact and lightweight and differs from traditional airbrushing systems that require an air hose connected to a compressor located on the floor. The big breakthrough in barber airbrushes occurred in 2019 with the incorporation into the market of portable and lightweight compressors that can be attached directly to the airbrush. This incorporation has revolutionized this field allowing barbers who use airbrushes for certain jobs to have greater mobility and further facilitating the use of the airbrush.
Among these airbrushes specially designed for use in barbering, there is a convenient model that can be used in two ways:
- Airbrush directly on cordless compressor: This setup combines an airbrush and a rechargeable compressor in a single working system/tool. This compact configuration that really fits in one hand is easy to handle and store, as it can stand on any flat surface. To use it, simply add the paint to the gravity feed cup and press the trigger. This airbrush/compressor configuration offers up to 45 minutes of continuous use on a single charge, and it can be easily recharged as it has a USB connection for recharging the battery.
2. Airbrush connected to the compressor with an air hose: This option uses all the same components as the integrated compressor, but in this case, with an additional air hose that separates the compressor from the airbrush. This configuration allows barbers to carry the compressor in a pocket or hold it in the other hand, which gives you even more maneuverability by reducing the weight in the hand that handles the airbrush.
Both setups offer freedom to use different airbrush models with nozzles up to 0.4 mm in their work.
At SprayGunner, we offer you an airbrush kit that allows both types of setups. It's from our brand, NO-NAME. Comes with an auto-off function, in which the compressor stops when you stop spraying and automatically activates when you press the trigger again. This unique functionality in our airbrushes extends battery life, reduces mechanism wear and reduces noise and vibration.
Some Tips for Beginners Using an Airbrush in Barbering
At SprayGunner, we know that jumping into airbrush work for your barber services might seem like a big challenge at first. But with a little practice and dedication, we’re sure this tool will become a game-changer in your kit. Here are some basic tips to make the whole process as smooth as possible:
• Keep Your Airbrush Clean: Even though airbrushes don’t have as many moving parts as a hair clipper, it’s still crucial to clean and maintain them regularly. One common issue is that the spray mechanism can get clogged by dried paint. So, it’s a good idea to take it apart and clean it often to keep the nozzles clear.
• Practice Constantly: Before you try the airbrush on your clients, spend some time getting comfortable with it. Learn from colleagues with experience or check out online tutorials that show you effective techniques.
• Choose the Right Paints: With so many sprays and paints out there for barbering, make sure you pick ones that won’t irritate your clients’ skin. Test different options until you find the brands that work best for you and your customers.
• Start with Simple Applications: Don’t dive into complex designs right away. Try using the airbrush on smaller areas—like covering tiny bald spots—so you can master different tones and techniques and build up your confidence.
• Wear Protective Gear: Use nitrile gloves while working with the airbrush to keep your hands clean. Even though you can wash off the paint later, it’s best to take precautions to protect your hands, your tools, and your work area.
Why Is Using an Airbrush a Smart Move for Your Barber Career?
Not everyone’s blessed with a thick, even head of hair. An airbrush not only helps enhance your cuts and give your clients’ beards a sleek finish, but it can also disguise thinning areas or fix uneven hairlines. By combining airbrushing with other products, you can offer temporary solutions that boost your clients’ confidence—and their satisfaction with your work.
