I noticed the other day that there is a beauty supply in the shopping center across from my job. I wondered why I never paid attention to it before. The Beauty Supply is towards the back of the shopping center almost like in a corner though. So I decide to be nosy. It is at a convenient location, I might have found a new BSS to shop at. So I walk across to the shopping center and go in to look around. As soon as I walk through the door, I stop-- stunned at how neat and spacious it is, but the shelves of products captivates me. I can tell they they carry A LOT of stuff. The women who work there greet me and welcome me to look around. As I start to browse, I feel like Im in heavin. And though I am walking, I actually have this nice warm feeling as if Im floating through the aisles. It seems that they carry almost every salon quality product/ line one could think of minus a few. I wonder from the Paul Mitchell section to the Sebastian No.9 to the Back 2 Basics to the Mazani section to the Biolage and on and on. I finally choose two conditioners that I have heard good things about and wanted to try. I'd like to mention that these two products are on sale for DIRT CHEAP compared to what I've seen at Walmart, Targets, Walgreens, CVS or any other BSS. (Im actually still tripping on my luck thinking "I cant believe I never came in here!" ) I go up to the cashier and she asks for my name and phone number, I give it to her because I have been asked at least one of these questions at other stores before. Then she asks for my license. Im thinking "I've never been carded for trying to buy haircare products before, this aint no alcohol!" So she asks "Did you leave your cosmetology licence at home? we may be able to ..." (Now everything about why this Beauty Supply has all the best hair care lines makes sense.) The thought crosses my mind to say "yes" and see if I can actually make it out the door with my products. But Im usually a honest person so I tell her that Im not a stylist. She tells me that they only sale products ''wholesale'' to stylists. She tells me that she is sorry. I tell her I am too. I explain that I didn't know that, that I thought they were a regular beauty supply as the sign out front says "Something Something Beauty Supply." I leave feeling like I found a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow but a little evil leprechaun came out of nowhere and snatched it back and disappeared. Oh well, I like Sallys down the street anyways. LOL, I just needed to get this off my chest but I'll be alright. Has this happened to anyone else?
erplexed, sorry it wasn't opened to the public. Do you know of anyone with a license?
You have to find a friend with a license that will hook you up. My cousin has one and hooked me up this past weekend.
but I held it together and went back to work. I was on my lunch break. Didn't have much of an appetite after that though to tell ya the truth. 
Ouch... I'm sorry. I know it kind of sucks, but at least there is always online stores.
but it was Armstrong...
They probably did have a sign out there but at that time maybe I just had 'selective' vision i guess.
look: as in "Sorry. Bye. Have a nice day."
