A hairdresser told me store bought products aren't good for your hair and I should only use Salon products. She suggested buying them on ebay so I don't think she was trying to sell me something but I'm not sure. Do professionals really never use store bought products?

As a professional I can honestly say I would never use store bought products. It is not that they are any good, it is just that you have to use so very much of them to equal the small dab of professional. The main difference between the two types of products is water. Store products have at least 75% more water in them than salon products. The next biggest difference is in the preservatives. A salon product is only good for 2 years (at best and only under the right conditions). I think a store product will last for decades. If your hair is healthy, never gets abused, then by all means use a store product. If your hair is damaged, color treated, chemically treated, or worse, use a salon product. It will save you money and preserve your hair.
Good luck.

Beauty salon experts have the worst hair in the business because they experiment on each other's hair. I've not met one with good hair. Doesn't hair suppose to look & feel silky, & soft not feeling like hair & greasy like the 50's Elvis? Even the hair industry don't USE their own products. I would never use Paul Mitchell again! I was a model for one of their shows and I was given shampoo samples. I tried it once, it smelled so good! I left it on my tub, and I didn't use it again. But when I went to clean my tub, I lifted up the bottle and there was a ring around the bottom of the bottle. I couldn't clean the stain, it was hard to clean. I thought, if that's what it does to my tub, then I don't want it for my hair! I use Garnier $2.99 when it's on sale and that seems to be the only one that worked best for my hair. Tried Suave, Herbal Essense, Aussie, and Alberto Vo5, but they made my hair greasy by the 2nd day. I shampoo on the 4th day when my hair starts to look greasy on my bangs & top of my head. So, why do they compliment my hair when they see me? Go figure! If store-bought shampoos are BAD for you because they're cheap, the FDA would have recalled them all by now. Even if a product never was tested in animals, there's a very good chance its ingredients were. A company might call its products "cruelty free" because it isn't doing any animal testing on these ingredients now, although the ingredients may have been tested on animals in the past. In some cases, "no new animal testing" might be a more accurate claim.

Honestly there isn't that much of a difference. Compare ingredients on the back and just keep trying different store brand products until you find one that works really well for YOU.
I've had the best of luck with the Aussie brand shampoos, especially the "Roots And Tips" for people that need extra cleaning at the roots but conditioning at the tips.
Never had ANY luck with the ultra cheapies, like Mane N Tail, Suave, VO5. But I do like the Aussie stuff.

store boughten products leave a waxy build up on the hair and is very hard to remove. i tell my clients that the shampoo and cond is the most important product used on your hair. me personally i would not buy professional product on eBay. and no i never even walk down the isle of products at a store.

My Aunt is a hairstylist and she only buys salon products, I do suggest getting salon products just because the quality is a lot better then those bought in supermarkets, wal*mart etc. Your hair stays stronger and shiny-errr! And their is no residue left in your hair.

They lie.
Where do you think the "salon products" are made??
Yes, she's trying to make her sales, even if she suggested Ebay.
Would you rather just buy it THERE, or go online, place a bid, hope you win, pay for shipping, and WAIT for it to arrive?
***** EDIT ADD IN *****
I see the above answers are NO HELP at all...
Here, let me ask you, what kind of hair do you have? What kind of treatments do you have done? (Perms, dyes, curls, natural...) Also, what do YOU like to do to your hair? Are you a wash-and-go kind of person? Or 30 minutes to style kinda person?
You can email, or post it here, I'll answer either way.
:o)

Salon products are usually to strong for your hair.
The reason why more and more shampoos are released for "dry or damaged hair" is because they wanna target customers like you.
So why go for something else when you have great alternatives all around you?
Hope you have a good hair day. =D
