Selling Product

I'd like to take a minute to talk about products. Not just buying products, but selling products, like we do at school.

I understand that someday in the near (very near hopefully) future I will be gainfully employed by a salon, and I will be expected to sell hair products. I am excited to do this, because I have faith that I will work in a hair salon that carries products I use, like, and endorse.

If I love something, I will preach it until I die. Take my Diva products for instance. I've gone so far as to take time out of my shedule to go to the store and buy them for my clients, so they can have them cheaper! I love what the product has done for my hair, and therefore will honestly and faithfully tell people that I love what it's doing.

I hate "selling" people things. You can tell a salesperson from a mile away, and nothing turns me off quicker than sitting in a chair with a person who is trying to push product on me. It makes me uncomfortable and irritated. If I'm suggesting something to you, I honestly love the product. The products I use range from a $38 bottle of shampoo (don't worry I only pay $19!) to a $4 bottle of heat protectant. If it works, it works, and I wouldn't do it any differently.

I find it amazing that people some to cosmetology school for an $8 haircut, and then are pressured to buy a $24 bottle of serum. Many people come to school for haircuts BECAUSE of the price, what sense does it make to push these expensive products on them? After using most of the products at school, and finding them sorely lacking and mostly gunk, why would I sell it to people? I'm completely willing to point you down the right aisle at CVS to help you find something you are looking for that will actually do your locks some good...
