i have ordered from salon savings and the products were legit.....
i do have a friend that is a cosmetologist, and she turns her nose up at any 'non salon' places selling traditionally 'salon only products'. she says (and is correct i found out) that sites such as salonsavings get salon brands by purchasing large lots from when the brands change their formulas/new packaging/ or just have sat on salon shelves too long. she warns that salon products in drugstores/discount stores/bargain websites are 'old' and not as good as the 'real thing'
lol, but i have a closet full of stuff ....none of which came from a salon, so i say the price differences are worth taking the chance
