DO NOT SUPPORT SUPPRE - tanTALK

engfant · 03-11-2004, 09:08 AM

The BS of them selling their stuff everywhere HAS GOT TO GO. It is near IMPOSSIBLE to stock a product that gets GAWKED at and then shunned because they can get it for $24 in ANY salon supply store. I could sell the **** out of HEMPZ but only the moisturiser sells if any.

There was a hair salon show last weekend in Dallas that my wife & monster-in-law went to and supre was there whoring out "tan addict" (basically tattoo) and 18 oz. hempz. A bottle of each for just 28.00 total. Sure enough just last night a cosmotology student came in showing me what a great deal she got. I will have a tough time ever selling her any lotion again. If anyone doubts that supre is doing this, just ask around.

Hehehehehehehehehe...

I have a friend who refers to her mother-in-law as "the monster-in-law"!!!!!!!

That is too funny!!!

On the other note, we only carry Tattoo and we are putting it on clearance to get rid of it because of the way Supre handles their sales.

They have a speciality brand for hair salons but we can't get it? Forget Supre.

TAN4LESS · 03-13-2004, 11:51 PM

They use the same bottle as the tattoo bottle. They just put a different label on it.

TAN4LESS · 03-15-2004, 12:30 PM

I just got off the phone with Supre. She said that it was in fact Tattoo that they make just for the beauty industry and that it shouldn't affect our sales. I let her know very well how it affected our sales.

Supre was toe tagged and bagged in my salon 2 1/2 years ago. Beauty and internet diversion DOES effect us more then some of use care to admit....sometimes it takes a while for some of you to feel it. But after you get it...you too will feel as strongly as some of us salon onwers labeled "jaded" becasue of our hard core stance on MFGs obligations to salon owners as a whole.
Speak with your check book and educate newbies before they get burned....as many possible of MFGs that take the "business is business" motto toooo far. Just don't forget we are TANNING salons Not LOTION SALON. They need us. Demand better and more ethical fair business practices from them or dump them..and let them off their crap to beauty supplies and the "walmarts" of america.
There are no perfect lotion MFGers but the gross amount of conflict of interests Supre has with their clients and the load of bull they force down newbie throats is sickening. JMHO

I too, have seen tan addict in the beauty supply stores. I have my cosmetology license and saw it in there one day. I was wondering why they had it. Beauty supply stores also carry Coco Beach, Swedish Beauty, and John Abate. I have had several customers tell me that they got their's from the beauty supply or had a hair dresser friend pick it up.

You know Supre is not the only one who does this. To my surprise I received "The Beauty Book" and low and behold Cal Tan and Designer Skin is available for beauty supply as well. It is ashame that they try to help the salon yet in the long run i believe they are going to end up hurting themselves. I no longer carry Supre in my salon. How many salons are going to continue selling their products without any salon support? I started offering Synergy Tan the Swanky Girl line and have had great results and guess what no drama like supre!!!!
