I haven't tanned in 2 months so I was basically pale again. I bought tansium bronzer and hopped in the Magic. WOW, instant color and the unit is only metering at 120 right now. This is my real experience with the magic from scratch. I should be able to sell this thing with confidence now.

sparky · 20th September 2007, 05:46 PM

Zero to tan in 3 sessions!

space 'em 48 hours apart, use a quality lotion, and put a sticker on to see the difference.

Mon, Wed, Fri, and go to the wedding on Saturday, that'll be $99 please!

shelleytn1 · 20th September 2007, 05:47 PM

2 months mike? 2 MONTHS? - dang - i would have gone nuts! -

did you go the full time in the magic?

EliteMike · 20th September 2007, 05:50 PM

Yep, full time. I've always been hesitant to put people in like that, I do though because others say its okay.

2 months was a long time, I did it for this reason though. Barely no sun exposure since I'm inside all day long.

I'm glad I went in there today. Some morons had the vents all out of wack.

solarmeter® · 20th September 2007, 06:00 PM

Some of the "instant" colour is probably "heat erythema". If so... it will go away soon. Real tan takes 12-24 hours to start showing up (in theory).

If you wanted a true test, you should have used a lotion WITHOUT bronzer.

EliteMike · 20th September 2007, 08:05 PM

Well yes, I agree to an extent. People want tan the quickest, good bronzer with the magic. Thats my goal. I was going to just use the accelerator but the g/f wanted the bronzer. She won

blondjuls · 20th September 2007, 09:04 PM

you let your girlfriend pick tell you what lotion you will be using, Mike? lol...shame

solarmeter® · 20th September 2007, 10:04 PM

PW'd? JK.

Tanning Queen · 20th September 2007, 10:10 PM

What do you mean you "bought" the lotion? Dont you OWN the lotions already?

Rob · 20th September 2007, 10:14 PM

using a lotion without bronzer would have given you the true results that your Magic can deliver. The better you know the results given, then better you can sell people on HP.

You can use bronzer lotions in crap beds and see ok results.

phattmatt · 20th September 2007, 10:23 PM

yes,
Mike owns the salon and customers are far a few between and the ones that come in already have their Eurotan lotion so Mike let her buy the lotion from him that he should use

EliteMike · 20th September 2007, 11:18 PM

well, I technically dont' own the lotion, its on 90 day consignment. It all comes out of my pocket anyways.

I'll not tan for a little while again and then hop back in teh magic with my trusty HAMMER.

Eurotan ladies havent' been back. Maybe they realized the sun is cheaper.

You can use bronzer lotions without any beds and see OK results. That's the problem. Get rid of that sticky, nasty spray crap and the bronzers and bring back real tans at prices that don't devalue it. (too late for that anyway)

The tans look fake as hell with that sticly, nasty crap. You can spot it a mile away.

90 day consignment?

thenewsundeck · 21st September 2007, 11:25 AM

smileysnob,

some disty's will send the lotion "on consignment"...drawback with some company's is you can/should get a better discount with upfront purchase. My first experience was a 25% difference in cost. Worked at the time, but was "leaving piles of money on the table"...so to speak. Did that for first 2 months until I could make the purchase outright. Not sure what kind of deal elitemike has worked out, but that was my first experience (or should I say, "lack of experience").

EliteMike · 21st September 2007, 11:37 AM

I get my normal discount. Keep in mind I bought all my equipment from this ditsy too. They buy back 100% of product as well so if I don't pay, they just take back.

Tanning Queen · 21st September 2007, 12:17 PM

Smiley, if you open a salon, go with Tan & Health for your lotions. Great training, great people, great cust service. Tell them the Queen sent you and ask for Melissa.

EliteMike · 21st September 2007, 12:18 PM

^^Tell them Mike sent you!

Tanning Queen · 21st September 2007, 12:23 PM

NO. I have been around longer and they love me more.
