Frosted Acrylics - tanTALK

tigers1962 · 08-20-2004, 01:46 PM

Just curious as to what your opinion is on them. The Diva Tower I just ordered is equipped with frosted acrylics. I've not heard alot about them, and I wonder if clients will be leary of the results if they are not used to tanning with them. Let me know what you all think. Thanks

If it's 180watt ballasts (I think they are) then don't worry about it. I got a Sundazzler that's frosted over and it's the bomb

We put frosted on our Dazzler, and people ******ED !!!

Really. What are you using for lamps? (assuming vhr???). I had this problem with maybe 3 people. 400hrs on the lamps and they still ROAST me. I put AC in the booth too and the first tanners of the day would always complain they aren't getting anything cause it's too cold.

Sure.

Then they come in the next day FLAMEING PINK.

Funny, I was just on the phone with a guy about some meters (FINALLY COMING AROUND) and my cell tower got hit by lightning. Will never know if they are mine or not.

Long time customers who don't like "Change". They think they have to get "Red" to get a tan or think they have to get "hot" to get a tan. VHRTT's. It's about perception. New customers don't know the difference, and the old ones I showed them Heartlands catalog showing the frosted acrylics. However, there is a big metering difference with the frosted acrylics on and off.

I'm sure I will have the same reaction to the acrylics as my tanners have never seen one (in this town anyway). Some people just don't like change. For me though, I think it is sure worth a try.

I love frosted acrylics! My clients get a great base with no redness and then very tan. I wouldn't have anything else.

That's the way I look at it. NO REDDENING. Works out for MOST. Weezy what do you have frosted?

My SunScape has frosted in it. Its the best tanning init I've ever been in for my skin type. I was told the frosted
one even out the tanning rays. They make any unit look more expensive. The only one that hasent liked them has been the inspector when they want to check the lamps.They have to wait for me to get there to open the unit.
