To be honest with you I use OPI and find they're cheaper to buy direct from Lena White (OPI UK distributors) than from my local wholesalers.
I've only been to a small Sally's a few times and don't know what trade price was as I didn't have a trade card so was only marked up at full price.
Obviously Lena White have a minimum order so if I only need 1 or 2 will go to wholesalers but otherwise I order direct from them. Plus a lot of the OPI stuff you can only get direct from them.

Dont you have to be qualified to use opi products to be able to purchase from them????
I know it sounds silly but this is what I have been told.

As long as you have qualifications in manicure and pedicure you are able to buy OPI products. Cannot speak for their enhancement products as I dont use them.
I would also recommend to buy it direct from Lena White.

^yes there is a minimum...
and yes you have to be qualify to buy OPI products, but we cannot force you to of done your training with an OPI trainer.

Hi does anyone know the capital web site please i am trying to find an OPI Case and someone mentioned previously that Capital did them?
Thanks
Lena White minimum order is £50 - not a fortune but it soon adds up if you're stocking up on a few bits!!
I think it might be more if you have the complete works at your salon, but for normal ordering it's £50.
Not sure how you would get registered, I trained with them so was there from the start. Give them a call x

they should ask if you're a professionnal
and know where you work and stuff.
Sallys sale to the public you dont have to have a qualification , mad i know but they do.This is why theres so meany cow boys out there.sorry for going on about it , it just drives me mad.x
pretty sure you will have to set up an account, to place an order,
which means a minimum order!
think it might be a couple of hundred quid

Not at all!!!
They do have a minimum order value whether it is an opening order or not and it is only £50. To stock up on a range with the quality reputation of OPI I think it's a bargain!
You will have to open an account and be assigned a rep but thats a good thing, not bad. My rep was able to help me choose the best products for my opening order and she actally ended up saving me money.

i didnt say it was a bad thing!
i own an opi complete works salon!
i am merely advising on ordering direct as you are looking for the cheapest possible price, and as i didnt place the minimum order i dont know it.
it certainly is great to have a rep etc to advise you on the new offers and products, but if you are mobile and work alone i think you can manage with out it to be honest....
if you are just after buying a few varnishes sallys or auction sites might be your best bet xxxx
The only thing I was referring to in your comment was the bit I highlighted, about their opening order cost - "think it might be a couple of hundred quid
".It was incorrect so I pointed that out.
The bit about the rep was all my own opinion and not referring to anything that anyone else had said.
Ah come on, I didn't mean it like that. I just wanted the original poster to have the right information so that it would help her.:green:

I got the Lena White Catalogue, they have some really good start up packs in there which look reasoable. I like the OPI varnishes as the brushes are quite thick and i can get a neater finish with them.
