The Most Common Myth Regarding Professional Beauty Products |
by:
Melissa Eaton |
The biggest myth in the beauty retail industry is that people think the more it costs, the better it must be.
Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, many of the most common high priced also name brand beauty products have the exact same ingredients as the lower priced brands that you can buy in any discount store. The difference is, you are paying for a name brand.
As a stylist, I constantly shoot myself in the foot regarding retail sales. But I really can't stand to see good people spend hard earned money on products that they don't need or can pay less for also achieve the same results. Many think I'm crazy for telling people this, however selling my services are what pay the bills, NOT the sale of retail products. My honesty has gained me hundreds of repeat clients through the years also I'd much rather have a client coming in once a month for a trim or color than every other month to buy a bottle of shampoo. You get the drift.
When it comes to shampoo, conditioner also styling products - just because it comes from a salon does not make it any better than products you can buy in a discount retail store. Shampoo is a detergent no matter how you package it. Conditioner is just what it says also the same goes for styling products. The only difference is that salon products are more concentrated also will last longer. In the end, the costs really figure out to be the same for salon also regular retail products. So my advice is to use whatever works best for you also the products you like.
There is one area that I have to say that salon products are better also that is COLOR. The reason I say that is, professional products are formulated under strict guidelines in the industry to insure that salon professionals will achieve the same color results every time. The colors you can buy over the counter are not as regulated also can truly vary from bottle to bottle. How many times have you bought the same home color also gotten a different result almost every time?
If you have your hair colored professionally also would like to do it at home, you might consider talking to your stylist about it. They might be willing to send you home with your color also specific instructions on how to use it. I've done this for many of my clients also truly don't mind doing it. I would rather my clients have what they are used to also be satisfied with their result than have them buy a product off the shelf also call me the next day saying they have pink or bright orange hair.
Use your best judgement regarding your hair products also use what you like also what works best for you.
