I'm gutted - no Dermalogica for mobile therapists - 08-02-08, 12:07 PM

Just had an email from Dermalogica stating that they do not supply to mobile therapists and that you eiter have to have a room or work from home for them to supply to you. What do all you mobile therapists use?

I use a range called Hara which i find ok and my clients seem to like. I was thinking of switching to priadara but i dont really do that many facials. They are sposed to be really good, i heard they where the cheaper equivilent of dermologica

no...hence I am sulking and not planning on doing facials mobile, cos I am so in love with dermalogica! Decleor is lovely though, another high-end product, not sure if they supply to mobiles, but would be worth contacting them for some samples anyway as their products are divine!

i wonder why they would do this?
surely doing treatments in other peoples spare bedrooms is no different than doing them from a spare bedroom in your own home.
do they come and inspect your home treatment room before they will let you purchase.

Please don't take this the wrong way because offence is certainly not intended but I think certain brands of cosmetics see their product as being 'cheapened' by mobile therapy IYKWIM? I think some cosmetic companies like to maintain a certain amount of exclusivity by deciding who uses and sells their products and who doesn't. I know they don't like too many salons in one area carrying their brand.

If you were to go mobile in an area where there was, for example, already a Dermalogica Salon, then your service would detract from the exclusivity for Dermalogica being offered by the salon. Does this make sense? HTH. Clarins are exactly the same, in fact a therapiust has to have a certain square meterage of salon space to use and retail the products including a big window display. Can't say I would want CLARINS hanging out of my home salon window.

Hi - I think you will find that Decleor do not supply to mobiles or home salons - I tried before I choose my current brand.

hmmmmmmmm - I just got told on the phone by my local distributor that they do! Maybe it has changed now? I dunno!

Also I don't think dermalogica are too fussed about brand exclusivity as theres 3 salons on the same estate near me that all use dermalogica! And 2 of those are on the same road!
