How To Find Professional Salon Hair Products At Huge Discounts
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.
If you consider that comparatively we pay 10 times the amount we did on gasoline, candy bars, snow tires, automobiles, housing etc., it’s more easily understood. Still, I have a difficult time wrapping my head around paying $150 for a liter of shampoo and another $150 for the companion conditioner.
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.
SalonProDirect.com and a multitude of other online retailers have risen to the occasion to usurp these expenses via the digital universe and can now bring to your doorstep these same products at substantial savings. You can now purchase online the finest quality hair care products - the very same products you enjoy from your local salon - delivered to your door at drastically lower prices.
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.
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.
So rest assured that we and our friendly competitors in the marketplace are here to offer you the power of the web and e-marketing to save you some money and get your products delivered to your door. I personally have had the pleasure of developing customer relationships with people from the Australian Outback, South Africa, Beirut, and the far reaches of Northern Canada - all from this same laptop I’m writing this missive.
