30 years in the salon industry and the changes have been immense. Shampoo has moved from basics like Jhirmack and Redken to the latest in scientific Nano Technology. Where we once just dealt with topical application, we now have Nano Technology so minute it can easily penetrate the hair shaft for much more expedient benefits

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.

The change in the marketplace and the salon customers perception of value has changed immensely over the past few decades. Where we once struggled with the notion of paying $5.00 for a bottle of shampoo, we now have clients more than happy to give up $100 for products that are so technologically advanced that they feel they MUST use these products to support their expensive salon services.

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.

Discount salon products are brought to you by way of having substantially less overhead. The online retailer isn't saddled with the usual insurance, heat, lights, store front, leases, etc., that the salon owner has to deal with. Though some of us maintain a salon, warehousing product can be done in minimal low rent space, instead of the pricey mall experience.

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.

You will find online retailers prices to run the gamut from full retail (and sometimes even a bit more) to as much as half off. As with any retail operation, we can occasionally get special discounts from our distributors and couple that with our volume purchasing power to put us in the position of acquiring product at much less than the average salon owner.

The world of discount salon products is no different than any other online retail niche and the buyer should use the usual caution as you make your purchasing decisions i.e. the vendors "satisfaction guarantee" policy, their guarantee of authenticity, return policies, privacy policies, and the secure transaction measures they have in place.

One final note of caution. I've had many inquiries over the years about "watered down" product. I've never personally seen this happen and can't imagine anyone going to the trouble to do so, but if you suspect you've been the victim of such a ploy, I would contact not just the people you purchased from, but more importantly the manufacturer. I would hope that they have the ability to pursue these miscreants and prosecute them for fraudulently misrepresenting their products. Discount Salon Products should not mean Diluted Salon Products!!

The power of the digital universe allows us to move our merchandise to the far corners of the globe. We can send our discount salon products anywhere on earth and save you huge dollars along the way. When all is said and done, we only have one thing to sell and that is customer service. Rapid delivery, quality discount salon products, and responsive customer service. Without these cornerstones we are just another URL.
