If you're like me, you LOVE hair products. I love trying new products and switching up my routine. I have used everything from drug store hair products to the top-of-line luxury hair products. There's no doubt that salon quality products are where it's at. But, in 2016 there are many options to where you may purchase professional grade products. So, why should you purchase from your hairstylist?
Dangers of Using Online Merchants
Amazon, eBay, all those. Any person can sell any thing on those websites. You may think you found the best deal online, but you may be purchasing fraudulent product, old product, or product that has been tampered with. These products are not direct from the manufacturer.
For example, Salon Studio 53 in Texas had to close. The owner has this huge stock of retail product left over. She could sell it on Amazon to gain some income, but she stores the product in her hot garage. Those products are no longer what the manufacturer created them to be. Product can separate and go bad when it's exposed to harsh elements or sitting over long lengths of time. That's not worth saving $2.
Personalized Product Prescription
Your stylist knows a lot about you, and even more about your hair. Your stylist can give you a personalized product routine that will work best for your lifestyle, hair type, and budget. Your stylist can even show you exactly how to use it. (You can't get that in the product isle at Target.) Don't be afraid to ask questions! The best way to have a great hair day, everyday is to style your hair with the same methods as your stylist. It's like taking your stylist home with you! (Which is what everyone wants!)
Supporting Local Business
You love your stylist! You want them to succeed and do well. When you purchase professional product from your stylist, in many ways it will benefit them. Even if your stylist isn't the salon owner, many salons offer rewards or commissions to the stylist when they sell retail. Also, the salon itself benefits greatly from your purchase. A majority of salons use those retail dollars to make improvements to the salon and offer their stylists continuing education. That enhances your future visits!
So now you know! Your stylist cares greatly about your hair and how it looks outside the salon. After all, you are a walking billboard! Your stylist doesn't suggest products just to make a quick buck, but for you to use as support material for your unique look. Be mindful of where you purchase, and be sure your hard earned dollars go where you want.
Have a great hair day!
