Are salons actally better or is it a myth?

The only people i heard say this were people who worked at a salon or people who heard it from someone that worked at a salon (can you say sketchy?) Are they all that better or is a scheme? Is there a good drug store shampoo that's equal quality.


I used Tresemme and flat iron so i got the heat one.Are salons actally better or is it a myth?
This is coming from a stylist %26amp; former salon owner, a good stylist is priceless. But sometimes they are hard to find so there are alternatives. Use good products not Pantene, Herbal Essence %26amp; Garnier they are silicone products. They make you hair nice at first but as the silicone builds up it locks out moisture your hair weakens %26amp; breaks. Use pro products they last longer because you use less so the extra expense is worth it. The shampoos don't contain a detergent lathering agent so it's weird at first because you are used to lather. Great specialty products are, Nioxxin,(for growth) Joico K-Pak Reconstructor also Silk Results, Rusk has New Pro Elements Keratin. Big Sexy has good general products. Take Biotin %26amp; Vitamin E. Don't use ';box color'; it's unpredictable %26amp; contains metallics that can leave permanent lines in your hair if you change color products. Go to Sally's Beauty Supply they have more professional products %26amp; they can assist you in your purchase %26amp; the prices are better. A lot of time you are buying old products from stores, if you look on the back, Paul Mitchell for example it says only sold in salons. If you have a Ulta store you can go there. Flat irons my stylist daughter %26amp; I use Rusk.Are salons actally better or is it a myth?
Actually a salon is better because Salons/hairdressers can get their hands on products that not just anyone can.


You want that bleached blonde hair? Some 'boxed' dyes just cant do it. thats why you go to a salon beause they have all of the right cremes/pastes aswell as treatments such as bluedrops, toners, dryers, sinks with special water pressured hoses.


Your also going to a salon and paying for the hairdressers techinque/skill. (Hairdressers dont just slap on a color and snip at your hair with some scissors, theres products, chemicals, shears) You need to give us more props then calling our way of life a scheme!


in the end, Salons are generally better, but if you can manage to do your own hair with whats on the market for the average consumer? go for it!
tresemme is better than others because it's a salon formula. The salon products are in fact better almost always.
A lot of hair products from the drug store are loaded with chemicals and detergents (hence why they are so cheap...no good ingredients in them). Most salon products (but not all) are much better for your hair.
Lol, they use the same shampoos you can buy at stores and stuff like that at salons. They just use different methods.
