Rep Power: 0 | I saw a post on here a while back about whether or not they sold to the public. The answer I received today was if you buy a bed from them you can buy lotion at salon cost; however, they limit it to 3 bottles per month. Talked to Reggie, and that's what he told me. |

Rep Power: 0 | If that is true I will have to think about switching distributors. 3 bottles a month...who can personally use that much lotion? Save it up and sell it on Ebay or to friends who tan at my salon... |

Rep Power: 21 | if you spend the money to buy a bed from Heartland, of course they are gonna let you buy lotion for personal use. If they didnt, they wouldnt be a good company! Heartland is great, and they would never just allow someone to order cases of lotion, unless they were an actual salon. If you have a bed at home, you shouldnt have to pay Retail for lotions- you should be able to purchase them from the company you got the bed from. BUT, be prepared to spend at LEAST $3000 for a Home unit (thats shipped, and set up). Plus the electric hook up at the house- another $500..... YOu might as well just keep tanning at your local salon..... Like mine!! LOL |

Rep Power: 21 | Forget them. I will not do business with them then. I don't purchase a car and expect oil at cost. I don't buy a fridge and expect food at cost. The amount may be less then significant but it is not right for the industry. I can hear it now, Ohhhh no, I don't need a lotion my friend hooks me up. He buys factory direct. |

Rep Power: 0 | The distributor you have to watch out for is 4 seasons!! You can call them up and set up an account very easy and get big discounts! One thing I noticed from this website!! There is a link at the top of this website that takes you to EBAY for lotions!!!! WTF. It's not always there, but it scrolls by sometimes. If salon owners want to help out, buy from a distributor that isn't the biggest in the world. Someone who is large enough to serve you, but small enough to know you. Like Forever Tan out of NC. They are great! Ask for Jason in the products department. He's great. |
