Below please find a very important article on diversion that recently came out on MSN.com titled “Beware when stores sell ‘salon-only’ hair care products.” The writer comes from Consumer Affairs, which we all know and trust.
The reporter tackles the salon professional’s diversion issue head-on noting that consumers who buy professional hair-care products at major retailers, grocery stores and drugstores are fueling the diversion industry and may end up with products that are counterfeit, stolen or outdated merchandise.
The article includes information from Redken & Matrix’s websites about anti-diversion (also links to Redken’s anti-diversion page on Redken.com), as well as a quote from Paul Mitchell Co.
As you will see in the article, the reporter purchased Redken, Matrix, and Paul Mitchell products at Target in Kansas and simultaneously at a salon – the Target prices were higher and the products were in bad condition. The reporter also explains that what mass stores like Target are doing is not illegal; it’s the distributor that’s violating its contract with haircare companies.
