Aveda Products at Target

RyanJ · Coach

I would just be careful and make sure they are really Aveeda prodcuts. Target and another local store kind of like Wal-Mart were selling fake Bed Head proucts. You probably already know this, but I just didn't want you to get screwed.

Yeah Rite Aid and Albertson's also tend to sell salon products but I've never seen Aveda there. I don't know if they are fake or not or how to even tell the difference honestly. If you use them and can't tell the difference then that's great!

i'm pretty sure that anytime you see "salon" products for sale outside of a salon (at cvs, target, etc.) they're either fake or expired. like stuff that's been sitting in a warehouse for 2 years and hence is no longer good, but they sell it anyway. i was in cvs with a friend who is a hairdresser a few months ago, and they were selling something (redken i think? i can't remember) and she was like "they stopped using that packaging a year ago." so i think i'd avoid the stuff...

I could tell the difference after a few days of using the products. There was just a slight difference in the color and smell. Nothing too big- I could just tell something was off. I know not all products are the are sold outside of salons are fake. I just wanted you guys to be aware. My sister in law owns a salon and I usually get my products from her, but she is out of town, so she ships them to me. I told her about the bed head products I bought and she said that a company in Canada was manufacturing and selling them. There were claiming to be selling the original products. There is now a big lawsuit.
