input on JA lotions

sable221 · 06-13-2008, 01:33 AM

i used to use them back in the day...and just realized they are still out there. Do they still work good? Do they follow the mumbo jumbo of 50x bronzer stuff that is jibberish? What about tingle, blushers? any new ingredients that may make them stand out against the sea of ONE COMPANY of lotions? how is the sugg. retail on them now?

Real good. I'm in direct contact with them and most products are fresh and in stock. He's working on freshing up and reworking his old line, new bottles/ marketing, dropping a couple, adding a couple and in fact has a new product out now that's in "pre-release".

He's not doing the mega bronzers or mega tingles or even blushes cause he already did it. It's old hat to the guys that basically invented it all. Nothing is More hard core/heavier of a bronzer/tingle than his stuff. Find a bottle of the Cooling Bronzer T4 and FRY/FREEZE like none other.

I still sell a ton of melaplus and his new stuff Quintessential which you may not be able to find. Also, the Melon Frappe is crazy good and the Sun Caps are still best of the best.

I'm going to kick his *** to get his other lotion in the Quint line out for next year. Stuff is pretty crazy nice. Won't let him put the self tanner in so he's trying a couple of other "natural bronzers".

hey eng, why hasn't frank mentioned anything to me about you? i was hoping he'd bring back the basics line as i have a salon that pretty much sold out of their order before it arrived. they were not happy with the decision to cancel. i told them, the salon, to raise their prices, make more $$$ and still sell the lotion but they didn't listen. he talked about bringing it back as a loss leader just to get people into the line and then upgrade them but it's all chatter until i see a bottle come my way.......

I like to lurk in the darkness. There was banter about bringing back a "$20 line" with a new bottle line up. That basics was real good.

Did he redo the body oil in a different bottle? Is it still a spray?

Does anyone have contact info for JA products?

tansource · 06-13-2008, 11:01 PM

Not at any distributors and nobody is talking about them except here. No sales means not so fresh product

In fact the only stuff that isn't fresh has been discontinued and only for now. He only deals direct cause distributors are cut throat at best these days and will run you out of business with their BS nickel and dimeing they have to deal with to stay alive.

JA was first out will be the first to return from the change in weather. His formulas are still beyond 90% of what's out there and some have been unchanged in a decade.

Look at how far some have stooped to have the "most bronzers"! 10/20/50 bronzers and JA bronzers are still way better and don't smell like you rolled around in filth for $80/bottle.

In a way I'd rather people NOT buy his stuff cause it's kinda my "other" private label over here but I can't move enough for him to stay in business so I say MOST OF YOU buy AG/DS and SQUEEZE. They are the best FOR YOUR PLACE I SWEAR.

The rest of ya SUN CAPS/MELON FRAPPÉ/MELAPLUS/QUINT

They are very easy sellers and the 1oz bottles are even easier.

I carry and sell mostly his tingle and do very well with them.The Formula A,UV-22,Infrared and Accelerating tingle oil are great sellers. I just started carrying the Reveal and have moved them all.

The facial capsules sell like no other and no one in my county carries them.J/A has great products for the tanner who has tried everything or willing to try something new.
