Top 5 reasons to buy professional salon products from salons:
1- Less Expensive
Have you ever walked into your local national drug and variety chain or grocery store and seen your favorite professional salon products? Have you ever wondered why it costs more at a national drug and variety chain or grocery store than your local salon? It’s most likely because the product has been diverted. Product Diversion is a big business today-it simply refers to product that is sold through distribution channels that it was not meant for. For instance, an authorized wholesaler has too much stock and off-loads it to a national drug and variety chain or grocery store. The wholesaler sells it for a premium and therefore the national drug and variety chain or grocery store must mark it higher than the local salon.
2-More Assortment
When salon exclusive products pop up in national drug and variety chains or grocery stores, they rarely carry the entire line, remember they are only getting the excess inventory of the authorized wholesaler.
3- Guarantee
Most companies will not guarantee or honor warranties for products that are sold by unauthorized stores.
4-Best Buy Date
Many times you will notice that salon exclusive products when being sold in national drug and variety chains or grocery stores has different or old packaging. There is no way to tell how long the authorized wholesaler had that merchandise in stock before off-loading it.
5-Authenticity
Do you want to be sure you are getting what you are paying for? Ever buy a bootleg dvd? The same thing can happen with professional salon products, in some instances they are not made by the actual brand and do not contain the same ingredients as the authorized products. Some reports even state that diverted/counterfeit products have high levels of bacteria!
Keep in mind that bad hair days can be caused by using the wrong products for your hair type. Consulting the professionals at your local salon will more than likely put the correct products for your needs in your hands.
