BBBE Can Supermarket Hair Care Be Better than Salon?

Poll posted by BR Amelia

We've all been there.  Sitting in the hair dressers chair, having our manes seen to when the inevitable question arises - "What are you using on your hair?".  Depending on the type of person you are, this question will either fill you with interest, or it will fill you with the fear of having to turn down a sales pitch.

But is your hairdresser just stating a simple fact - that their "salon quality" products really are better for your hair than your average "beauty aisle" purchase?  Can the ingredients be that different and can these professional products ever really justify the price tag?

The Exper+ise range checks so many boxes, you'll probably be surprised to learn it's a supermarket brand; coming from NZ natural powerhouse, essano!

Exper+ise is based on the premise that better hair starts with a healthy scalp! Essano have taken their expertise in skincare to develop clean beauty formulations contain high-performing scalp and skincare actives, to deliver salon-quality results every day at affordable prices.  Even more amazing, you can get this level of quality and they're made right here in New Zealand!

There are four systems available, so you can address your most pressing hair concern; 


Strength + Repair Bonding,  Hydration + Shine, Detox + Exfoliate and Growth + Volume

 

So we want to know - are you a supermarket hair care girl?  Have you tried the Exper+ise range before?  Or you are and always will be, a salon snob?

I've used all kinds of products, from the cheapest, to the expensy salon ones. The best I've found for my hair is Ethique, which you can now buy at supermarkets. Having tried lots of different products, I do not find salon ones superior for my hair.

Just as with the makeup - there are great budget products out there - there are great budget hair products out there as well... It is the matter of finding those products. Sometimes, it can take a while and cost lots of money....

In saying I’m not convinced, I am willing to give it a go and see. I have struggled at times with supermarket shampoos to find one that doesn’t irritate my scalp and leave me with dandruff, But perhaps it’s time to try again

12th September, 2024

Good to know - never heard of this brand.

18th August, 2024

I must give these a try sometime soon

29th July, 2024

My friend borrowed some of this from me and she raved about it. The gold shampoo and conditioner.

If you are having major problems with your hair an expert is usually best .

I don't think the price of salon products is worth it- so I am supermarket hair care girl.

24th June, 2024

Yes, mostly out of convenience. I like to be easily be able to make hair care purchases without going out of my way. I do like salon care but usually they are not cruelty free, I prefer cruelty free products.

Currently using the Hydration + Shine range. I like it, could be more hydrating for my hair type. The hair oil is really nice though.

I used to work for an Organic Hair Company who had a Salon Professional Range and also had box at home colours, all made from the same products and ingredients. You can definitely get really good products to use at home these days

Hair products are one of the many things I've been cutting back on. Using less hasn't hurt my hair at all. I certainly believe supermarket products are as good as salon.

1st March, 2024

I haven't tried this range but I do buy my haircare products from work (Chemist Warehouse) or the supermarket. I find them as good if not better than salon products.

3rd December, 2023

The products at the supermarket are usually good brands and work for me. The price is usually reasonable and a lot of choice.

3rd December, 2023

I'm a supermarket hair care girl. However, I must have the most easy going hair possible. I don't even need to use conditioner, I think I'm pretty lucky with my hair.

3rd December, 2023

I use both but definitely more from the supermarket. Not seen this new range so will keep an eye out.
