How come regular people can't buy beauty products that are only restricted to LICENSED cosmetologists?

There's this hair gel I want, %26amp; it works WONDERS on my wavy hair. I tried it once before, but @ stores like SALLY Beauty Supply, ONLY LC's can buy it.How come regular people can't buy beauty products that are only restricted to LICENSED cosmetologists?
Because most of the time, only licensed cosmetologists are the only ones who have the right equipment which you have to have a license to have one made and some times something in a beauty product is illegal to everyone else but only cosmetologists can it be provided to. Hope this either helps/makes sense!!How come regular people can't buy beauty products that are only restricted to LICENSED cosmetologists?
Because they are professional products and they don't want amateur, non-license people to purchase and use the product.
Its because you have to buy it straight from the salon where you saw it. The beauty supply stores sell at wholesale prices, a perk of being a stylist. Its a piss off, I know.





Im beginning to think that makeup is the same?
I work at a Sallys and we sell everything (except for most perms and some nail products) to anyone! I think it should be the same at all Sallys. If the price tag say 0.00 or the shelf tag says ';PROF'; that means only a LC can buy it.
Are you kidding? You don't have a license, don't you know what irreparable damage you could cause while using hair products without a license? I just recently got a ticket for my unlicensed use of hairspray. Two more offenses and I'll be doing time for sure.
I've never heard of regular hair gels being restricted to unlicensed people at Sally's, though they do restrict items not considered safe for at-home use, such as relaxers. Unless the products include ingredients that are not considered safe for unlicensed use, I don't see what the problem is. Beauty supply stores exclusively for professionals are a different story though. This is where your more reputable brands are sold for professional use and retail, and there is a markup in price for clients.
