Understanding Salon-Only vs. Take-Home Hair Care Products
Salon-Only Products
These are specialized professional products used exclusively by licensed stylists during in-salon treatments. They are formulated to provide intensive repair, treatment, or styling results under expert supervision.
Why salon-only?
- Potent actives and higher concentrations
- Require professional application and monitoring
- Not formulated for everyday consumer use
Take-Home Products
Recommended by salons for clients to maintain and extend the benefits of their salon treatments at home. These products are gentle enough for regular use yet effective in preserving results.
Why take-home?
- Maintain hair health between salon visits
- Protect and prolong salon treatment effects
- Easy to use daily or as directed
