Is Australian Gold sold @ Wal-Mart?

[tam_marie]

I have had a customer ask me if she can use this since they carry it at Wal-Mart. I told her they make a sunscreen lotion for outside. Do they carry this at Wal-Mart?

[EliteMike]

I've seen an indoor lotion there before. So yes they can use it. there are other lotions sold there that can be used in your salon.

[aimeekat]

Sure do in some states. On my releases it states that only salon grade lotions are allowed. If they show you the bottle pull out your disty's catalog. I believe the ones that are sold at Wal-Mart are not sold to salons. Problem solved. The cheap stuff won't ruin acrylics but it is a pain in the butt to clean. I can't keep my employees tied up trying to get your cheap crap off my beds while people are waiting. That's not fair to those that do follow our rules.

[tam_marie]

I had no idea. thanks

Just on of the reasons I won't carry AG in my place. Thankfully my first disty warned me. I can't remember the last time I was in a Wal-Mart. Place is just plain nasty.

I was the exact same way.. until I had kids/a family..

I'd rather pay a little higher prices for my own safety. And I carry a gun in my purse.

What?? Were are your Wal-marts located at?? Down a dark alley to the left behind the man in the garbage? lol

[Mojave Tan]

I am with Aimee. Anti-Walmart. Can't remember the last time I was in one. My purse doesn't have room for a gun though????

[aimeekat]

Targe' all the way baby!

Sorry Marie, there I go hijacking your thread.

[Mojave Tan]

Yep.. You can't go wrong w/Targe'. Starbucks in every corner and carts don't need 4 wheel drive to move.

PS...sorry for hijacking the thread too. Have you all seen the Wal mart Scavenger hunt? HAHAHAHA I might have to go just to play the game once.

[tam_marie]

lol its ok.

[kll]

Its not at my walmart yet, but its got a huge display at my walgreens..

AG has been sold at Walmart in FL for 10-20 years I know. i do not allow lotions from Walmart, Eckerds, Walgreens, etc to be used at my salons. If it says for indoor use that does not mean a thing. Just means it is cheap crap. Just give them 10.00 for their bottle and dump it in the trash. Giving 10.00 off a bottle of something you sell will make them happy. Ocean Potion says for indoor use and it it crap. Takes forever to get off the acrylic.

So should you use walmart lotion in your salon? NO

[aimeekat]

Frankie,
I know they don't have Tyrosine in them, but do you know what makes it so hard to get off acrylics?

[tuscantan]

That Ocean Potion smells like crap...why would you put it on your body anyway and walk around smelly??

The A/G products that are in Walmart and the Drug Stores are exactly the same products that the tanning distributors get. Kinda hard to tell a tanner they cant use a product the a tanning distributor has. That is why o dont sell A/G.

[Gottaknow]

A/G is in every Walmart, Publix(grocery) and Walgreens in Florida.
I of course see at Beauty Alliance Fake Bake and Hempz line.
I have occasionally seen California Tan's products.

I took a lotion from a girl that she bought at walmart. It's an AG lotion but its an SPF. It says no mineral oil but I wasn't sure if it was safe to use. Not sure why you would spend money on tanning and use an SPF anyway. Does anyone know if this lotion can hurt my beds?

[Din]

i tell them, if you use an SPF, you pay me money to go tan and you come out the same color you went in. Then you bitch at me why you aren't getting any color....DUH......
