Heartland for lotions? - tanTALK

nailartist710 · 01-12-2006, 03:35 PM

Hey all. Normally I would order my lotions from TW Tan. But the original guy that I ordered off of died and then they gave me to another associate who I could never understand a word he said. Then they fired him and I got this ditzy girl who I never hear from. The original guy who died and the second guy used to call me all the time to check and see if I needed anything but this new girl called me once about 3 months ago and I have not heard from her since. I am now ready to order new lotions and I was thinking of trying a new disty.

Has anyone ordered from Heartland? Do you think their prices are comparable to other distys? Thanks all!!

I am confused. I thought salon owners hate to get phone calls!!

I do hate to get phone calls from people HASSELING me to start ordering from them. But I do appreciate my CURRANT suppliers calling to check up to see how I am doing and if I need anything. It makes it easier cause if I need anything and I have been to busy to call them, then when they call me I can just tell them what I need.

But, basically i am just curious as to what everyone's opinions are of Heartland.

Heartland is our primary vendor. Your discount will depend on your negotiating skills.

We also order from Heartland. LaChon is our contact. Calls after we've ordered each time to make sure everything was right....makes suggestions and always includes samples of NEW items. She's wonderful!

I have ordered from T.W Tan and a Casey @ ext 168 has been great to deal with. Give her a try. She is always helpful and follows up on the orders I place to make sure everything is correct. She's great!!!

I use CTS. Call and ask for Lisa, she will give you the best deal possible! I get my lamps and acrylics from her.

I use Heartland once in a while. They are usually pretty good. I used to get swimwear,etc from them also, but got miffed last year when I couldnt seem to get anything I wanted. I could get a top but not the bottom for a 2 piece suit...things like that. As far as lotions go, they were pretty good. I switched to Salon Support for my lotions 2 years ago, mostly because I could get them in the next day & w/Heartland it was taking 3-4 days. Salon Support gave me a little better discount, but now have backed it off a bit "due to manufacturers trying to stop the 'lotion wars' between disty's". I guess we will just have to see what this year brings!

I buy all of my products through Heartland Tan. They are easy to negotiate prices with, they are super friendly, and i always get a call to make sure I got everything I ordered and it was correct. Also, I get free shipping on all my lotion orders.
