@Sol I'd like to visit your store . I'm in Chicago do you have a storefront or is it only online.
I have heard of companies that are primarily online stores, but you are welcome to make an appointment to visit their physical location and I assume be able to purchase products. Since they are not primarily a retail store, it makes sense that they require an appointment. You can't really expect someone to sit around on the clock for the occassional customer once a week... or month...
Thank you, appreciated.Let me be the first to say Thank you Sol for posting about Chicago airbrush,As the new owner We know you will have a harder time Righting the wrongs of the pre. owner. Hope it all works out for you
Yes, we do retail at 3323 W Diversey Ave. We have by appointment only hours for now until we get bigger. It's been good for people in airbrush emergency situations!@Sol I'd like to visit your store . I'm in Chicago do you have a storefront or is it only online.
I couldn't agree more. With retail you can also learn a lot about new products and techniques from your walk in customers. It's definitely something that we will have in the future (maybe even a month or two) we're just taking it step by step. I also want to have space for workshops as I have has a lot of experience putting those together.I agree but the appointment system doesn't work for everyone, I wouldn't expect any vendor to sit round the clock on the off chance that I might pop by, but as I said I shop on impulse and will only visit shops that manned all day, even if the shop only opens two days a week, I like to see what I'm buying and if it's expensive I also want to see it work, I do occasionally buy online but only from documented trusted sources, in Holland I woykd never have bought an airbrush from anyone other than Foxy or Lion Art who are both members here and have astounding reviews, I don't buying elsewhere, just not on line and definitely not when they say I can, the customer is alwats right and if I want something right now I'll get right now no matter where I have to go to get it, but that's just me.
My main point above is that Sol has taken over a decidedly dodgy business, naturally people are wary, my view is his best chance of success and rebuilding trust for the time being is to man the shop and allow normal visiting instead of an arranged warehouse tour, when people can see and feel what he has to offer as well as buy it he'll soon build up that trust, I can't see many buying online from him yet.
Lol. Sorry, it's a pretty urban area.Yeah and if so, do you have truck parking???

I kinda figured that . Chicago is not a truck friendly town.Lol. Sorry, it's a pretty urban area.
I've actually had up to 5 appointments in a day. Lately it's been a lot for body paint. Body painting is often a need-it-now situation.I have heard of companies that are primarily online stores, but you are welcome to make an appointment to visit their physical location and I assume be able to purchase products.

Sure, and we will get there. Just prioritizing building up plenty of inventory first and our online game perfected.I just feel that if you can get face to face public into your premises you be able to disperse the black cloud left by your previous employer, people who were burned were burned making online purchases so they will be afraid to do that again, when they are able make purchases in person they will know instantly how genuine your intentions are and subsequently less afraid.
Do you carry Ben Nye paint? The mehron tends to clog smaller nozzle airbrushes . I saw the pictures online but didn't see all the paint you carry.Sure, and we will get there. Just prioritizing building up plenty of inventory first and our online game perfected.
I don't have that one. I have Mehron Lux, Liquid Makeup and Paradise, ProAiir Hybrid, some ProAiir Ink, Artool Body of Art, some EBA Dura, Paasche Temp Tattoo Ink and Temptu SB. Is it the Lux or the Liquid Makeup giving you trouble?Do you carry Ben Nye paint? The mehron tends to clog smaller nozzle airbrushes . I saw the pictures online but didn't see all the paint you carry.
