If a customer drops this bottle it will without fail break open. I had some in a shot cup under the counter and the bottom fell out of the cup. It is the stongest tingle I have ever tried but I'm starting to believe there is acid in it. Seriously, what could they be putting in this to make plastic deteriorate? I have even received shipments with bottles already broken at the side (where it normally breaks). I have taped up two of my clients bottles with silver electric tape to hold it together?

Anybody else notice this? ]]> Salon Discussion AlphaMale http://www.tantoday.com/forums/salon-discussion/38235-rio-etreme-heat.html New Posts Disappearing http://www.tantoday.com/forums/salon-discussion/38229-new-posts-disappearing.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:33:32 GMT Yesterday I was on the site & when I clicked on NEW POSTS tab it would show posts from almost a week ago...but last night I clicked on it & it only showed me posts from the last hour.

Last night I added her as a friend to our salon's facebook page and come to find out she works at the salon a few blocks down. I am acctually flattered by this because they have big Ergoline beds and a very expensive looking facility and we have older but well maintained beds. So should I confront her and ask her what's up or should I just let the neighbor keep giving us buisness.

I also know that alot of the people on this board have tanning and video in their stores. Even if you don't you probabally know that the whole Video industry is locked in a struggle with red box that could potentially decide the direction and future of the Video industry. Recently Red Box is being denied the titles from Universal, Fox and Warner (as of Oct 27th) being forced to buy the titles from retail locations such as Walmart or Best Buy at full retail price. I have been monitoring this closely and am of the opinion that it is impossible for Red box to finiancially be able to sustain this for a prolonged period of time. Also I think Red box's investors are comming to the same conclusion CSTR stock is down over 20% in the last 2 weeks. So does anyone have any opinions on what the future will hold for us? Is it time for combo stores to get further into tanning and let more of the video space go? ]]> Salon Discussion Jon Engen VBG http://www.tantoday.com/forums/salon-discussion/38216-great-red-box-debate.html Wording on Signs?? http://www.tantoday.com/forums/salon-discussion/38206-wording-signs.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:57:47 GMT One of my salons is in a location that is set back from the main highway. Its still in a strip mall that is relatively busy, but if you don't go to the mall for any reason you don't realize we are there. We are getting about 8-10 of the corrugated (sp.?) plastic signs that are on stakes that you put into the ground because the main road tends to be VERY busy during holiday season due to the major mall about 3 miles away. I want to get some ideas on what to put on the signs as far as wording goes. I don't necessarily want to put a big special because I want to be able to use them whenever. Any clever ideas that will attract attention, but not break any laws??? ;) ]]> Salon Discussion aeltiger http://www.tantoday.com/forums/salon-discussion/38206-wording-signs.html Looking for a salon in Monterey, CA http://www.tantoday.com/forums/salon-discussion/38203-looking-salon-monterey-ca.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:25:43 GMT Anyone out there?

-The anti-sun promoters overstated and skewed data to create a fear of the sun and tanning for profits.

-Poistive sun vitamin D information & moderation was burried and covered-up. I

-As a result, other more serious health issues were created by lack of sun exposure.

If our industy can produce enough evidence, it might be "investagative report time". Maybe a viral internet documentary.

Can somebody help me and tell me what type of lamps are used in this bed, how does it tan and any other helpful tips. Here is what I'm told are the current lamps in it. Not sure if those top canopy lamps are 160's? ALso, what recomendations might you offer on the best lamps for this unit.
Canopy......54-Cosmolux 10036/25 Watt & 28-Signature Series FR591 VH
Bench........20-Cosmolux VLR 18810\100 Watt or 20-Signature Series FR71


I recognize this is an older unit but somtimes you find dinasaurs that can be work horses and provide a decent tan.

Thanks
