Most people love when they think they are getting a good deal, I do, however when you are buying salon products from your local drug store you are being ripped off in more than one way. We in the industry call it diversion and it is killing the industry and your hair! When you buy these products you do not know what you are getting it could be anything, you think you are buying quality "shampoo" but it could be .99 cent shit they put in the bottle. Most salon products have labels that state "guarantee when sold in a salon" or something like that. Rite Aid is not responsible if anything happens, such as your hair turning orange, YES! it happens! When you buy salon product your stylist and salon are responsible for what the product does to your hair. It is like getting a filling at the dentist, if it falls out it gets replaced, same goes for products. So not only do you no know what you are getting in the bottle you are also getting ripped off. Most drug stores mark up the products more than a salon does. I went to my local drug store to prove the point... please see the following pictures.
So here as you can see is Redken a well known salon grade product. This picture was taken at my local Rite Aid. Please not the price 38.98 for shampoo and conditioner. Most salons sell these products for about 15-17 each. Already you are saving money. Around the holidays most salons have them in gift packs for about 22-25 dollars! oh the savings.
Now we have Matrix another well known brand, this is at the same store. This is even more expensive than Redken! Also please note on the back that it states "guaranteed when sold at a salon", however these sneaky little shits try to cover it up with there stickers!Selling for 42 bucks! YOU ARE BEING RIPPED OFF!!! I sell this same product both for about 25.00 dollars. Also when you buy from a local salon you are supporting local business which in the end helps your community. So STOP BUYING PRODUCTS FROM THE DRUG STORE!!!
