Buying Hair Salon Products At Target, CVS...Are They The Same Thing?

"I saw the Paul Mitchell Shampoo at CVS, is it the same thing as you have?"

"What products did you use in my hair? Oh, o.k., I will just check CVS and see if they have them and get them there; it's cheaper."

These are things I sometimes hear, as a salon professional. The thinking goes; "since you are a salon, you are going to charge me more for hair products, so I can just go to CVS, Walmart, Target, of the Christmas Tree Shop and get it cheaper, thank you very much!" But then I am asked....is it really the same product I am getting?

Please read this article below and see what you think. Read it objectively and make an informed decision. I have had clients also do some homework and write down my prices for products and compare them to retail stores; surprise! CVS, Target and others were always higher than my salon prices, and that didn't take into account the time, gas and energy they spent in going to get them.

As a haircare PROFESSIONAL; not only do I recommend what is best for your hair, based upon KNOWING your hair, but I guarantee that the products are authentic and fresh.

I LOVE HAIR and consultations are always complimentary!
