Salon Haircare Product Diversion

As many of you may already know, Salon Central will soon be celebrating the 17th anniversary of the opening of it's doors.  Over the course of those years we have seen many haircare product lines come and go.  The decision to remove a line from our shelves is not an easy one. It comes with careful consideration and thought process, with feedback from our teammates and guests.

Today, many professional products that are supposed to be sold solely by licensed professionals are showing up on the shelves of grocery stores, drug stores and places like Target and Walmart.  This is no secret.  The selling of these products in these outlets is what is called "product diversion" in our industry.  There are many reasons why consumers shouldn't purchase products from sources other than licensed salons.



Diverted products could also be a health hazard. They are often counterfeit, diluted formulas, or old, expired formulas that may not be safe to use. Irritation or even infection can result from the use o f diverted products. It’s also illegal to divert products.



Your wallet will suffer too. Undercover shoppers found that prices of diverted products were 10-20% higher than what they would be in a salon. Remember, there is now a third party involved who also needs to make a profit.

Finally, as your licensed professional haircare provider, we pride ourselves on recommending the perfect products specific to your needs.  We take many factors into consideration when we make suggestions for your haircare regime at home. These factors may include your lifestyle, your hair type, how long you take to style your hair everyday.  At Salon Central we carry four lines of haircare products so we can guarantee to fit every budget and need.  The four lines are pictured here; Redken, Aveda, and Pureology.
We look forward to seeing you soon when we can tell you more about haircare product diversion and how your purchase from Salon Central helps small business's all around the nation.           

Wishes for health, happiness and beautiful hair. The Salon Central Team
