Professional Products - Why They Are Better Than Over The Counter
The educated and experienced staff at Rush Salon can recommend the specific salon hair care products to properly care for your hair at home. Their expertise will guide you to make a purchase that best fits the needs for your hair length, style, texture and the condition of your scalp. When it comes to quality hair care products, Rush Salon proudly recommends 3 salon quality lines; L’Oreal Paris, Bumble and Bumble, and Pureology. These products contain a premium blend of ingredients that will pamper you hair during cleaning and styling and protect color treated hair.
Some people question if salon products are superior to store brand products. Salon products ARE better for the simple reason that they contain only vitamins, minerals and other concentrated ingredients required to cleanse, condition and care for your hair during washing and styling. Just like food products, beauty product labels list the ingredients in the order they appear most in the product. Many low quality products are filled with water, wax and sulfates that cause foaming action and build up when used. Hair products do not need to lather to clean and consumers are paying for foam so they can feel like “the shampoo is really working!” All the foam does is strip away the hair’s natural oils, which protect the hair from damage, caused by brushes, blow dryers and flat/curling irons.
Hair is washed to remove environmental elements like dust, pollen, pollution, chlorine, sweat, dirt and even cake for the occasional bride. Wash your hair too often or with harsh products and the result is damaged hair. A small dollop of salon products work to cleanse your hair rather than strip it dry and will make the bottle last a long time. For people with white flakes on their clothes, it does not indicate dandruff; it is actually caused by dry scalp and a lack of zinc. The natural oils have been stripped away so using a harsh product to “correct” the problem actually makes it worse. TV commercials have convinced the public that to get clean, flake free hair, they need to purchase the product they are promoting. The best course of action is to talk to your stylist and have them analyze the condition of your hair and scalp and make a recommendation based on their professional training rather than on the marketing campaign of an advertisement.
Some salons have a program where you can bring your empty salon bottle back to the salon and they will refill the bottle at a reduced price to prevent packaging from ending up in landfills or going through endless recycling which require additional resources. Before you purchase, ask about a refill policy.
Spending your money on top quality salon products is beneficial for you and your salon. Your funds support local businesses like Rush, rather than big box stores or franchise retailers. Salon brand hair care companies re-invest funds from products sold to provide education programs for salon owners and staff to learn about new techniques and products to care for their customers and keep them looking great. The salon brands also offer a guarantee on their products for customer satisfaction. Customers have a choice when purchasing home hair care products and selecting salon quality products will provide desired results to best support a new haircut, color or style.
