I have not invested in any of the new DS products.Don't plan to,don't need to.When customers come in asking about it,I tell them thats stuff is terrible for your skin and sell them something else.

i brought in 6 bottles and had it on sale for $65 sold 3 then today i had to sell 1 for $40 to keep a college girl from going ebay on me.

she actually asked "whats the deal with the lotions on ebay why are they so much cheaper than salons?"

i explained all the BS then asked her how much she was going to pay for it(black) and she said $35 plus ship.

thats when i offered the product "at my cost $40" (NOT) because i didnt want to see her get burnt or receive fake/stolen product....still made $15

Problem "still made $15" can be applied to tanning lotions that retail for $20-25 and save on having to swallow your pride to move a bottle of devil's brew.

you are correct, but this client wasnt going to buy lotion from ME so there was no $$ being made. if this wasnt a ebay situation i would have stuck to the 65 sale price.

PS no pride swallowed just greed....LOL

Why the christ did we get into this business again?

That's it. I'm redrawing the yellow street line so it aims the oil tankers toward my building bugs bunny style.
