I have to require salons buying Redken now have to sign a contract that prevents diversion and online selling. So if HalfAngle would purchase a bunch of Redken and was found selling on ebay, she could face a lawsuit. They are really starting to crack down so hopefully you will see a decrease in this activity. These products are meant to accompany a professional recommendation.
Trust me, as a mother of 2 I know what it means to be thrifty. If you have to choose and can't purchase everything at the salon, get the shampoo and condtioner/treatment and purchase the discount styling products. You are better off skimping on mousse or gel than a shampoo that washes your color down the drain and dries up all the natural moisture. I do know that salons do run specials and price breaks in Southern Maryland. Some even offer frequent buyer programs. It never hurts to ask. I think your stylist will appreciate your business and honesty.
Hope that helps. |
Thanks. I guess its time to find another salon that doesn't overcharge.
