Why are some beauty stores so restrictive - and Arrogant?
Veg o matic, I agree with you about that store. I mean, it is probably easier to buy highly enriched uranium than it is to buy certain perms only that store sells. Have you notice that some hairdressers, like Jonathan on "Blow Out" are sooooo Arrogant?

Again, it could be
fear of liability. Some hair chemicals can be nasty stuff, if used incorrectly.
Just my guess.

ive worked in hair salons. MAJOR egos there. and about the beauty supply shops, many of the products sold are professional formulations, require training for proper use. also, some products are sold at a discount, blow costs seen at the consumer level. allowing anyone to buy would weaken pricing at traditional stores.

Yes NeptuneBob, we were the "licensed only" supply store. In addition to the liability issues with chemicals (perms, color) it was also based on the fact that early on, one could only buy Revlon products thru hair salons. My uncle knew Charles Revson when he sold nail polishes by going into the salons with a different color on each of his nails, The "professional only" policy was to guarantee the salons that they wouldnt have competition that would under-cut "Suggested retail prices". Revlon had contracts with the salons that maintained their suggested prices. Boy have things changed.........

Veg-o-matic,
If you make yourself a fake cosmetology license, be sure to act stuck up so they will think you really are a "licensed cosmetologist". If you watch Jonathan on "Blow Out" you will get the idea. Just remember what I heard once on the Ricki Lake Show when they had an episode called "Cancel my Appointment, I am Mad at my Hairdresser" -
"I'm not a public servant, I'm a licensed cosmetologist, I make people beautiful and I get to shop at that store and you don't!.

And be wearing the lightest loafers you own when you go. Carrying a tea-cup poodle under your arm or in a bag wouldn't hurt either.. see if you can borrow one then rinse it it blue food coloring.

its not that big of a stretch for many of us here, and thats okay! instead of blue food coloring, i suggest Mrs Stewarts (it says so on the bottle)!

Yes, the reason many professional beauty supply stores only sell to licensed personnell only is to keep certian lines "restricted", but the main reason is the chemicals contained within certian products.
Hair colouring, perms, and other products that chemically alter human hair, can cause GREAT and sometimes permanent physical damage if not used properly. Many products do not come with step by step directions for use either, assuming the professional will know the proper procedures.
Having worked in a hair salon and taken series of courses while at school, am in no way an expert, but can spot a home/bad dye/perm job a mile away. Have also seen some horrible cases of persons with everything from bright orange/green hair, to gaping bald spots (some that never regrew hair), to very nasty allergic reactions. All from people who got their hands on professional products and thought there was "nothing to it".
Now, as for shampoo's,conditioners,and other "care" products, have found mixed results. Some professional products are wonderful, others no better than what one can get at K-Mart.
Those commercials telling persons not to purchase say, "Paul Mitchell" products anywhere else but a salon crack me up. One can get Paul Mitchell, Sebastian and countless other "professional only" hair care products at most discount drug chains or local pharmacy/shop. It has been that way for years and if it was being done illegally considering the vast amount of suing that goes on in the USA, it would have been stopped by now.
With the advent of eBay, one can find almost anything "professional", even some of the most hard to get one's hands on products. My hairdresser was NOT happy when I told him I bought a job lot of the same product he charges $$$ on eBay for only $.

The teacup poodle
Will be rinsed in a little White Minx! I have plenty of it in stock. (Beth, stop rolling your eyes!)
What galls me is that the chemicals sold in the "licensed only" stores can't be any different than the professional stuff sold at Sally, some of which any ol' fool can buy.
Need I say I have a Sally discount card?
Of hair chemicals, nothing has more potential for damage than relaxer, and you can buy that at any drugstore or supermarket.
Me, I'd be willing to take my chances. Even sign a waiver if need be. Just a couple of weeks ago, I straightened my hair, this time using a professional perm I bought at Sally. Previously, I had used Ogilvie straightener, bought at Wal Mart. The only difference I could find was that the professional perm was about 5 bucks cheaper!
And I welcome all of you to come run your fingers through my silky locks!

The products at Sally may be the same........
But then you can't be "stuck up" if your clientele catches you shopping there. I'm shopping at "The Stop sign store" for MY supplies at MY SALON so I! can make people beautiful!
I've also heard there is a lot of politics in a styling salon too.

Steve, only sometimes am I #35. More often I'm #53. I'm quite often a #59, though once in a while I'll fly into a #12 (but only if I'm in a #92 or accidentally saw someone's #14. Eww eww eww!)
If I weren't such a #52, I'd definitely be a #56.
Steve, I'm just #94 about this thread!
