Discount Salon Products!! What could be better. In my almost 30 years as a hairdresser and salon owner I've seen it all. Witnessing the metamorphosis of hair care from simple cleansers from Redken and Jhirmack to the newest and latest Nano Technologies, the world of Discount Salon Products has taken a back seat to the world of Unbelievably Expensive Salon Products.

Discount Salon Products!!  What could be better.  In my almost 30 years as a hairdresser and salon owner I’ve seen it all.  Witnessing the metamorphosis of hair care from simple cleansers from Redken and Jhirmack to the newest and latest Nano Technologies, the world of Discount Salon Products has taken a back seat to the world of Unbelievably Expensive Salon Products.

To harken back to the days of the Vidal Sassoon dynasty and the advent of professional hair care products is to appreciate that what was once considered expensive - $5.00 for an 8 oz. bottle of shampoo - has now been replaced with products that sell for 10 times the amount.

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.

Purchasing online brings to you the very same high quality professional salon products - delivered to your door - often with free shipping and handling - that you expect from your local salon.  The digital selling experience allows the online retailer to offer discount salon products to the far corners of the world, whether the far reaches of the Australian Outback or Bora Bora, it’s just a FedEx label away.

Conceptually, discount salon products make too much sense for those who enjoy the finer salon products.  The more expensive the products, the more you can save.  Simply do the math on costs per ounce and you will find that when saving sales tax and the shipping is free, it just makes too much sense to buy your professional hair care products online.

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.

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.

Discount salon products should not be Diluted salon products.  I’ve heard rumors of this “watering down” issue in the past but have never personally seen any evidence of such.  If you ever have reason to believe your product is not up to the standards you would expect from previous purchases, do not hesitate to contact the vendor and/or the manufacturer with your concerns.

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.
