Why You Should Buy Haircare Products from a Salon (Especially Now!)

​

When it comes to caring for your hair, the products you use matter—but so does where you buy them. While it might be tempting to toss a shampoo into your cart at the drugstore or grab a “deal” online, those products may not be what they seem. At salons, not only are you getting professional recommendations tailored to your hair type, but you’re also ensuring that what you’re buying is authentic, safe, and effective.

​

The Truth About Gray-Market Products
Many beauty products sold online or at unauthorized retailers come from the gray market—products that are diverted from their intended sales channels. These can be expired, tampered with, counterfeit, or improperly stored. That "name-brand" shampoo in your online cart might actually be watered down, smell off, or contain ingredients that have broken down and are no longer effective—or worse, irritating to your scalp.

These products often have inconsistent packaging, missing barcodes, altered expiration dates, or old formulas that are no longer being manufactured. And unfortunately, if something goes wrong, the manufacturer won’t back the purchase or offer support because it wasn’t sold through an authorized channel.

​

What You Get When You Shop at a Salon
