Pureology products are 30% off at drugstore.com right now!! Since they usually cost an arm and a leg, this is a great deal--- I'm def. stocking up. |

Liz it says right on the drugstore.com website that they are not an authorized dealer for Pureology. At least they are up front about it but if they are not an authorized dealer how do they get the Purelology? Do they get it from Pureology in a sort of, "Well we only sell in salons but we will give this to you as long as you don't make any claims to be authorized ". If not where do they get it from . I love bargains but am very reluctant to buy from an unauthorized dealer..... |

It would seem strange for someone as big as drugstore.com to have counterfeit pureology products. I'd like to give them a go but I too am hesitant. I wonder why they aren't authorized? |

Yeh, I've noticed that too... it's totally weird. I don't think the items are counterfeit as I've bought from them from drugstore.com before (I've been having a hard time finding a salon close to me that carries them recently.). I'm definitely not thrilled about the whole "not salon" thing, but the convenience combined with the sale assuages some of my bad feelings... |

Who cares whether they're authorized dealers! The supermarkets here sell Sebastian, Paul Mitchell, and a bunch of other hair care products whose only authorized users are salons.
The products aren't counterfeit. Most of the "pro" lines require that operators go through a training program in order to represent the product. It's the only difference.
I love the Pureology line - I rarely use it because it's grossly overpriced. I'm stocking up !!! |

katee I actually DO care. Are you saying that they get the products from the company itself but they can't say they are an authorized dealer because they haven't gone through the official training program? If that is the case it would make sense. How would you tell if someone is selling the authentic product but just isn't an authorized dealer vs. someone who is selling a counterfit or expired product? |

I have used Pureology for years and love it, but end up feeling so guilty after I buy it. SOOOOOOOOO expensive. I end up buying the big liters to save money.
Hope it's the real deal b/c I'm off to stock up as well.
Thanks for the tip!

From what I understand, the 'not authorized retailer' disclaimer is there in the event that the product becomes old, or if whomever is selling decides to dilute it, etc. In that case, the manufacturer cannot assure its quality, cannot offer any warranty. Really, it's legal mumbo jumbo. In the case of a huge merchant like drugstore.com, this shouldn't be a problem anyway. I'd like to point out that salons aren't above selling old product. |

I buy my pureology from drugstore.com all of the time. It is definitely NOT conterfit products and I will continue to purchase from them. |

My understanding is that retailers like drugstore.com, supermarkets, etc purchase from an intermediary supply house.
I can understand your concern with authenticity Theresa. I think it really comes down to whether you consider the particular retailer to be reputable and reliable. Personally, I do alot of purchasing from drugstore.com and have as much confidence in them as I have in any retailer. |

violetanne, abejita, katee,; thanks for your replies. I guess it does come down to trust and confidence and honestly in a situation like this I can say that I have both in drugstore.com. I have never had any problems with them and jeepers they even were honest enough to say that they were not an authorized dealer! I will not be taking advantage of the sale at this time because my supply of shampoo and conditioner is too big already! Although I will have to give the Purology a try someday. Is it really as good as everyone claims it is? |

I don't use their shampoo, but my stylist turned me on to this new Nano Tech Glosser that they put out. I adore the stuff - Especially during those hazy, hot, and humid D.C. summers !!!
I bought a small bottle of it at the salon and almost fainted at the price. It's true that a little goes a long way, but but but.... |

I used it for a year, and then I got bored and wanted to try new things. I tried Phyto and Fredric Fekkai. After a year of straying, my hair started to get dull and dry. I have NEVER had hair like this, it has always been super shiny. I switched back to pureology and within a wash or two, my hair was back to its normal shiny self.
It really isn't that expensive because you can use so little. I have very thick hair that is a little past my shoulders. I use about a nickle sized about. I swear, it is like the never ending bottle, I never seem to get to the bottom of it!

I too swear by Pureology--- their volume shampoo is incredible! It's very concentrated so it only takes a little dab, and the volume and the shine is just unbelieveable. I alternate with Alba Hawaiian's Honeydew hairwash and I swear my hair has never looked better. Since I've been enjoying the Pureology shampoo so much I went ahead and ordered some conditioner and some styling spray--- I'll let you guys know how I like them! |

my perfect combo is the hydrate shampoo and the super straight conditioner. The one thing that I didn't like was their clarifying shampoo. It made my hair feel like a rat's nest...not what I was looking for in a shampoo.

You girls need to stop! I shouldn't have even asked if this stuff is good . Actually I am quite tempted. Other than the Nanoworks items this stuff doesn't seem that pricy to me at least compared to what I am using now. Could any of you compare the shampoos to my HG shampoo-Komenuka Bijin?

I am SOOO tempted but I just spent all my budget on the sale of Dr. H stuff at Whole Foods and EDS! My hair is so dry right now you all have me thinking of buying some Pureology because it sounds like it's the answer for me.
You people!
I have to admit that it's because of you all that I now look better than I have in years and it isn't taking me so long to get ready in the morning either. **Big sigh** |
