#Salon centric color lines professional
Unlike some people walking into Sally’s, I guess, I trust no one so I would hear the advice of someone from Sally’s and then look up like crazy what I could have from professional stylists and videos from professionals about the proper way of doing things. I’m a non-professional who only started dying my jet-black virgin hair on my own just before I turned 30 from Sally’s products because I was in bad financial shape, but I wanted to have some color on my 30-year-old head. I’m coming in a few years late with this article. They carry fun nail supplies- decals, nail art pens, etc.They carry expensive salon equipment at reasonable prices- floor mats, styling chairs, trolley carts, shampoo bowls, etc.It’s easy to find a Sally’s Beauty Supply- there are more of them than there are of the professional supply stores.We get an additional 5% off- it’s already lower priced, the extra discount is definitely a plus.We can get lower priced supplies- processing caps, perm rods, appointment books, shampoo and color capes, water bottles, etc.Here’s what we DO like about Sally’s Beauty Supply: Cheap hairstylists buy their supplies there, and charge clients the same prices as reputable hair salons(yes, this happens…it’s disgraceful and it gives every a bad rep).They promote DIY hair services, and people don’t realize that it’s not so easy.They sell “generic” versions of professional hair products, and people think that it’s quality…the prices are not much lower than the name brand.


The store associates give advice as if they are professionals…causing disasters daily.They carry hair color that looks like professional hair color, but it’s not.Here’s what we DON’T like about Sally’s Beauty Supply: Why do Hairstylists Hate Sally’s Beauty Supply? You don’t want that persons advice anyways.
#Salon centric color lines license
It is possible for someone with a cosmetology license to be working as a store associate at Sally’s, but why? If someone is licensed and good at their trade, then they don’t need to work in a supply store for sub-par products. Store associates are not licensed cosmetologists and they cannot give you advice…this is an accident waiting to happen! They know nothing except what the store sells. Please, don’t take advice from those store associates. I get a lot of comments and e-mails from people saying that they went to Sally’s Beauty Supply and the store associate helped them formulate their hair color. If the same quality of supplies were available to everyone, then that would lower the value of our profession. Professional hair color is regulated for many reasons, one being that you need an education in cosmetology to be able to use it.

This is just one way that beauty suppliers control the availability of professional products. CosmoProf and Salon Centric are closed to the public, and only licensed professionals can shop in those stores. Sally’s Beauty Supply is open to the public, so anyone can shop there. Or, they think that buying beauty products at Sally’s is the same as buying them at CosmoProf or Salon Centric. It’s not that we “hate” Sally’s Beauty Supply, it’s that people who aren’t in our industry think it’s better than drugstore products. I often see the question pop up…”Why do hairstylists hate Sallys Beauty Supply?”.įirst of all, hate is a strong word.
