Discount Professional Hair Care Products To Your Door
Richard Palmer
Three decades as a hairdresser has brought by my chair changes in hair care, color and perms that couldn't possibly have been imagined back in the early days of Vidal Sassoon. Nano Technology has entered the arena - bringing with it changes that are immeasurable in benefit and performance. From early Redken and Jhirmack to Pureology, Alterna, Kerastase and the like, we have moved from simple ph balanced cleansers to scientific marvels.
1975 - $5.00 for a bottle shampoo. Peole thought you were crazy. 2007 - $100 for a bottle of shampoo and strangely enough, it flies off the shelves. People want it, or should I say demand it. The salon client who spends a few hundred dollars on professional salon services doesn't blink at the thought of maintaining their hair with these quality products.
Similarly, if we compare the order of magnitude difference there is in housing costs, transportation costs, or even a cup of coffee, we find we're paying approximately 10 times what we did 30 years ago. We accept it, grumble about it, then proceed with our lives. Haircare on the other hand, has increase 30-fold in some instances as that $5.00 bottle of shampoo has become a $100 purchase.
Traditionally, from the manufacturer to the consumer, there exists the ever present distribution systems that deal with logistics, transportation, packaging and delivery that all have their margins built in along the way.
>From the salon owner, discount salon products are not a consideration as their need to maximize profits to cover heat, lights, insurance, rent, payroll, taxes and the like have necessitated their quest for maximizing profits to meet all of these needs.
We can bring these products directly to your doorstep, often with free shipping, usually in less than a single business week. This is a boon to customers who live in remote regions, small towns, or just the savvy shopper looking for discount salon products at huge savings.
This is accomplished by saving you sales tax (except in our home state of Washington) and offering Free Shipping on orders over $75 (half a liter of shampoo to those of you with champagne tastes.) Being able to market products and services worldwide gives the online retailer the opportunity to take the Costco approach of leveraging quantity instead of margin.
The variety of discount salon product vendors runs the gamut from full retail prices to often as much as half off. Buying distributor close outs in bulk allows them to offer these products at radically reduced prices over what you will find in your local salon. Same high quality products, but the savings can be enormous.
One should always be cognizant of whom they are purchasing from and their online reputation. When purchasing discount salon products, you should ask yourself the usual cautionary questions i.e. what is the vendors "satisfaction guarantee" policy, their guarantee of authenticity, return policies, privacy policies, and the secure transaction measures they have in place.
As for product that has been tampered with, if you have any suspicions, I would approach the vendor immediately. They should be more than happy to accept returns on questionable product. If you have evidence of product that has been watered down or adulterated in some manner, I would contact the manufacturer directly to deal with a vendor misrepresenting their product in a fraudulent manner.
Online discount salon products are here for the taking. We bring you the world of professional hair care to your doorstep - what could be more convenient. We have developed relationships with customers from all corners of the earth and take satisfaction in our stellar customer service and quick delivery. At the end of the day, an online retailer only has one thing to sell and that is quality customer service.
