Before anyone makes a post like this they should do their homework....people read the topic and not the whole thread and jump to conclussions...

If your a tanner...ask your tanning company to order you what u need...

If your a salon owner..in this month's issue of looking fit...there's a huge article on the company and the family business.... alive and running great.....

Salon owners may purchase from 4 Seasons as I know they are still a disty for JA as thats where I still get mine from..and I don't stock it...just special orders only...as It is a hard sell for me...but others die for it..each their own...

and then there is John Abate direct... which I think one can get a better discount... http://www.johnabate.com/

Hope this helps you out....Soo

If you are in Canada, its is increasingly harder to find JA. The JA bottles have not passed canadian regulations so until they do it will be harder and harder to find the stuff! But as far as I know they are doing well in the US.

I stock all the JA products, no problems here and I use the johnabatedirect.com and as far as customer service goes with JA they are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe JA going direct has also affected Canadian distribution.

I cannot stand it when someone posts this kind of "question". What if a tanning customer posted this about you on "the tanning board" for your town?
I am sure if your customers read the post they would wonder if they should spend money with you...and invent things in their head about your salon, and change their impression of your salon. You would have even more drama.

If you sell a lot of their lotion and you think they are going to go down ...then buy three months worth and have time to switch if you want...

Asking "innocent questions" that harm someone is not cool.

I haven't been able to get anyone on the phone all day today.

HBT6872 · 01-11-2006, 07:42 PM

Okay, they are a small company and maybe they need to hire someone just to answer the phone. I would rather them spend money on ingredients...but okay they could stop adding hemp , or whatever.

We all know they are small and have had a lot of ups and downs...I do not carry JA, but that is not the point.
Was their phone disconnected or did it go to voicemail?
