Next Level Hair

Do you ever buy hair products from TJ Maxx, Target Amazon, or any other major retailer?

If you answered yes (or no), please keep reading!

I was strolling around TJ Maxx the other day. I was in the aisle with all of the cute organizers and office supplies when I came across the bottle of mousse in the left photo. Out of place, it caught my attention and it inspired me to create this post!

The bottle on the left was at TJ Maxx and the bottle on the right is what I have on my shelf. They are the same product with two different packaging styles. Believe it or not, this is a diverted product.

Products are considered “diverted” if they are sold in unauthorized places or retailers. For example, only salons or authorized retailers like Ulta or Sephora, are authorized to sell professional brand products. If you come across products at a discounted or auction website or store, the product is considered diverted.

Is this bad?
Diverted products can be counterfeit, diluted formulas, or old, expired formulas that may not be safe to use.
Similarly, diverted tools will not meet our professional standards and are not covered under many warranty programs.
This means if you buy products at a supermarket, drugstore, or any other outlet other than a salon or select retailer, I as your professional cannot guarantee that it is an authentic product that will perform as intended.

Are you in danger?
You could be. Products purchased from unauthorized retailers can be contaminated or even counterfeit and can cause irritation or even allergies. I pride myself on the performance and quality of products I offer to my clients. I want to make sure to provide a good product experience which I only guarantee if products are purchased from an authorized source.

Not many people know that this happens in our industry. It's something that can impact not only you but myself, the products, and brands that are being diverted.

Next time you go to purchase your beauty products please think twice about where you are getting them from. My shelves are fully stocked and you can also shop your favorite products through the link in my bio!

I absolutely love when I come into the salon and have the perfect day booked! When it comes to fun vivid colors and my extension guests, yall get me in the groove!

The magic happens when we have some fun upbeat dance music, throwback 90's jams to current pop or hip hop on. I really get vibin'.

I love to be able to chat with my clients and enjoy our time with each other. I don't like to overbook or double book myself so we both have a fabulous experience and you get the hair or your dreams.

What is your favorite part of the salon experience?
