Rep Power: 0 NO TAN LINES is on a distinguished road
When I first bought my salon, I ordered towels from 4 Seasons. They lasted about two weeks before they start falling apart. I had a real hard time getting them to do anything. They were $25.00 a dozen, plain white. Does anyone have any suggestions where i can get some, that are good quality, but not so expensive?

I buy my towels in kmart, or target when they are on sale for like 1.25 or less each, I found that they are good quality and last a long time, I bought towels last year that are still holding up great.

So my suggestion is look around in your local stores. Even if you buy 10 here and 20 there or 3 there, I have all kinds of colors.

We get them from BHS textiles... they have a variety of colors and sizes... 1-800-538-6935. They also sell other items like Lucasol and pilows, etc.... never bought anything but towels from them though.

We bought ours at Sam's Club. 36 for 11.99. Bigger than a wash cloth and a little smaller than a hand towel. They only come in white. They were really stringy after first washing but no strings after second washing and they are getting fluffier with each washing. They are in the "automotive department."

The best towels I have found were at Costco,
I think they are 25 inches by 15 inches. I think they are one dozen for $8.50. Very cheap and very durable.
