Re: Need Help on High End Lotion

Personally at the salon I work at not very many people touch the high end lotions they go for the lotions that are cheaper.. Imo some of the cheaper lotions do work better some times!

Re: Need Help on High End Lotion

True Melly, the cheaper lotions do work better, we have our lower end and mid range picked out so we just need a few high end.
I personally love the tingle lotions, at the salon I work at now I am known as the "Tingle Expert".
Thanks for your help.

Re: Need Help on High End Lotion

If your territory is available, you will want to get MRI. They are in a class of their own (really).

Re: Need Help on High End Lotion

Ultimate by Blacklightsuncare is very high end, their list prices are almost ridiculous but they are really high quality.

Gosh how could you not like MRi?!?! I love their products! Just ordered my iface yesterday and I'm so excited! They are great with salons because they keep all their product off the internet so salons don't have to try to compete with online lotion sales!

If your friend can get in with MRi that would be great for the salon because they really listen to the what the salons say about whats selling and why things arent and will try to fix what they can on their end!

Re: Need Help on High End Lotion

I do not think a lotion has to be expensive for it to work. One of the lotions I use is about 20-25$ and it works better for me than a 100$ bottle of Luminary. I have bought a lot of high end lotions that did not work as well as some of the cheap lotions I bought.
