I am not too sure about other disty's but I know that Sunwest who is powered and owned by Four Seasons (the biggest disty in the US) will be carrying the Designer line.
FYI, Sunwest is a sub distributor, getting its AG, SB, CT and DS stock from Uvalux. Therefore the prices coming from Sunwest will be slightly higher than those from Uvalux...

FYI, you are wrong, Uvalox gives discounts based on volume, so if your a small salon doing little volume you will not receive the same discount as a chain. As for praising Uvalox, I my self know of at least 5 Distys in the states that will give you 50%-60% off the wholesale of designer skin. Cal Tan is the harder line to obtain through under ground sources. Further Sunwest is not a sub disty they are a direct distribution center, they may be obtaining their AG, SB, DS ect. through ETS (not Uvalox) but that does not make them a sub. Uvalox does not make the product, it is made in the US by ETS, so if we were to look at Sun West as being a sub, then guess what so is Uvalox. So before you cherp with your FYI bull$#%^ get your facts straight & P>S> do not believe everything you hear or see.

MR Internation is doing great in my salon, I brought in ITan, IBronze, IFace, Pure Power & Physiotan so far some of our top sellers.. They have great shelf presence and smaller bottles that look big

Oh and the most popular DC here was Praise, Glory and Vision. I had a bitch of a time getting the Trinity off the beds. I have never ever had a problem with any other tingle. I've cleaned the beds twice with a new towel the 2nd time and the next person will still be red. Someone can go in with Deviant or Tanology #6 and no problem. Not getting that one back again.

Default Re: Lotions

The problem i had actually was with the disty not informing me of lotion they did not have, but telling me its on its way and then i get only a bit of the order. Instead of informing me this on the phone, so I could possibly order something else, they just send me some of the lotion i had. With my other disty that I was ordering from first would always inform me when they don't have an item I would like.

This is why I am seeking DC from another disty as the first one I have had a few too many problems with trying to get items out of them. They send me packates, which is great, but lotion is what I need.

Uvalux is THE ONLY company that can import AG, SB, CT and DS into Canada. SO if you want to sell it, you have to buy it from Uvalux....period!!

Sandigirl I have my cheerios with milk thank you. To rebut on your sarcastic remark, people should not be posting misleading info on here as new salon owners come here and rely on the infomation they gather as a business tool, so when someone posts incorrect info someone should correct them.
Not trying to be an a$$whole just strictly business.

And I don't think she meant sub as in they're a part of Uvalux or works for. She simply means that Sunwest gets their ETS stuff from Uvalux...disty from disty...not disty from manufacturer.

P.S ~ she's not basing this on hearsay.
