More than lower quality products, I believe this is the major issue with self-service beauty supply stores. I barely researched the process I wanted to do or I disregarded the instructions adding my own.

Not being a professional hairstylist is only hazardous to your hair if you’re unwilling to put in the time doing your research on the “how to” of whatever process you’re wanting to do.

It is possible for someone with a cosmetology license to be working as a store associate at Sally’s, but why? If someone is licensed and good at their trade, then they don’t need to work in a supply store for sub-par products. Store associates are not licensed cosmetologists and they cannot give you advice…this is an accident waiting to happen! They know nothing except what the store sells. Please, don’t take advice from those store associates.

I get a lot of comments and e-mails from people saying that they went to Sally’s Beauty Supply and the store associate helped them formulate their hair color.

If the same quality of supplies were available to everyone, then that would lower the value of our profession.

Professional hair color is regulated for many reasons, one being that you need an education in cosmetology to be able to use it. This is just one way that beauty suppliers control the availability of professional products. CosmoProf and Salon Centric are closed to the public, and only licensed professionals can shop in those stores. Sally’s Beauty Supply is open to the public, so anyone can shop there. Or, they think that buying beauty products at Sally’s is the same as buying them at CosmoProf or Salon Centric. It’s not that we “hate” Sally’s Beauty Supply, it’s that people who aren’t in our industry think it’s better than drugstore products. I often see the question pop up…”Why do hairstylists hate Sallys Beauty Supply?”.įirst of all, hate is a strong word.
