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.
