I posted this in response to the other thread about BSS's I want everyone to know how Sally Beauty Supply does business. This is why I am no longer shopping there.

I usally go to Asian beauty supply stores. Lucky for me it isn't too much of a hike to Fordham Road in the Bronx where they are two big ones.
I have never really liked Sally's and I am swearing off of them officially after Saturday. They always try to push a particular product on you and it isn't based on whether it is good for your hair or not. It is usually a certain brand that is popular that month that they have been told to push by their managers. And they are not experts. The people at the Sally's on Fordham approach you, follow you around and give you unsolicted advice. I hate Sally's.

You know after typing out that episode I actually went to the website to look for a place to complain but I couldn't find any.

Right now the big thing at Sally's is the crap from the Ion anti frizz line. When I went there in March The sales guy convinced me that this was the best conditioner for my 4a/4b hair and since I had yet to discover LHCF and I had only an idea that a product containig alcohol was bad for my hair, I let that fool who by the way was hispanic with type 1 hair, convince me that I could use this line and he swore up and down that the alcohol in the product was neccessary for my hair type and that people in his family had hair similair to mine ( I doubted it even then but with latino's you never know) and used the ION line with great success.
Needless to say my hair looked like garbage and was even drier after I used it. When I went there again just last Saturday they tried the same line and I was like "Uh huh...not trying to hear it" and I bounced! I hate Sally's
I think the company manufacturs this line or gets a kickback for it. In any event it isn't right to try to sell some thing that might damage someones hair just to make a profit. Especially when they try to represent themselves as "hair experts" when they ARE NOT! I can't remember who posted it but someone said they use to work for the corporate office and that all you needed was to be older than 16. Yet, they make it seem like they are so knowledgeable and they are not. I think it is false advertising to do this. A lot of people take their advice seriously because they do not know any better. I know I use to believe the things they said cuz I didn't know too much about AA hair care. It is one thing to ask for advice and get it...but they actively try to give you unsolicted bad advice and that makes it worse! Buyer's beware!
