So... I know on the back of Redken bottles it says something like "Exclusive Salon Distribution".
How come you can find it in reputable supermarkets and drugstores? I just bought some All-Soft at the Stop & Shop. And I've seen it at CVS, too. The price isn't much better than the salon, but it sure is more convenient.
So anyway, what's up with that? Where are these stores getting their supply from if Redken claims to be 'Salon Exclusive?'

Redken has a whole task force who does look into anyone who sells their product over the internet, wether it be E-bay or a salon on-line (which is also illegal). They are proscecuting ALOT of people in this scam.
P.S. I love true-calm also but unfortunately they discontinued it this month

I *LOVE* Redken All Soft shampoo. My hair is really thick and this shampoo actually makes my hair soft and silky. Those of you with thick hair know that getting silky hair can be a VERY hard thing to accomplish! I usually use All Soft shampoo with Redken's True Calm conditioner.
If you buy it from an authorized Redken Stylist/Salon Redken will give you a 100% guarantee on any of their products.
That is worth a $ or 2 more sometimes, because it is so easy to get the wrong product. (anybody have a collection of unused products under their bathroom sink?? I do.)
Even we professionals make mistakes and recommend products that are not always right for our clients.
I tell any of my clients "If you are not happy with your Professional product, even if you don't like the smell, bring it back."
And I can do this because my distributors and manufacturers, like Redken, will back me up and replace the products I return to them.
There are counterfeit products out there...TIGI (Bed Head, CatWalk) just prosecuted a group of unscrupulous dealers. After they confiscated 7 semi's full of Fake Product coming accross the Canadian and Michigan border....It looked just like their packaging, but it was not their product.
You want to at least get what you are paying for. Professional Products are expensive even if you buy them on Ebay or any other un authorized dealer.
The right product can be awesome, as we all know. On the flip side the wrong product can be a disaster. Especially if you are paying top dollar. If you purchase a product at a Salon and you don't like it...Return It! It is part of what you paid for.
The guy I purchased the All-Soft from claims to be a licensed professional. You would think the folks in Redken's legal department would be combing (no pun intended) ebay for non-compliance. I wonder if they do that.
Really? That's funny. I haven't met many people named Traci with an i. And you love Grover! Grover was my first boyfriend. I was all about Grover. I guess I still am. Too bad Elmo's stealing his spotlight nowadays.
But really- has anyone tried So Long?

REdken or any other professional products bought in any other way but from a licensed professional hair salon is NOT guarenteed. In other words, they could have put anything in these bottles and you are stuck with them. Also, any person selling Redken in any other manner can and will be prosecuted and their ability to purchase Redken will be permenantly termenated.
Sorry for sounding sooo serious but it is really serious to Redken. Thank You

Hey supergrover this is too freaky. That used to be my name for everything on the computer but then I switched it due to some silly reason. Think he's the cutest thing. Have loved him since I was a little girl. I think it maybe has to do with the name Traci since thats mine as well.

It is fairly easy to assess the integrity of a seller on ebay by looking at his or her feedback history. If the feedback is 99% positive and says things like, "great seller, beautiful product, exactly as advertised, great transaction, would do business again" and there are hundreds of comments like this, chances are pretty darned good that you have a good seller. Typically, people sell hundreds or more of similar products. For example, "Tim's online beauty supplies" may have hundreds of salon products up for auction (or buy-it-now, which I prefer) and many of his commenters are "repeat business". These are all good things to look for.
I wouldn't buy hair products from someone who is selling one bottle of Redken All-Soft and her other items are all used clothing. But I would buy it from someone who's selling dozens of different salon products, with lots of feedback from customers saying "great hair products, 100% genuine, brand new!"
You have to read the auction listings carefully. If the seller says "brand new, genuine, sealed package of Redken All-Soft" then he or she is making an offer as part of legal contract that this is exactly what the product is, and if she is lying, she can be sued.
So, be careful on ebay. But when shopping with care, you can get some terrific deals and have some great experiences. I LOVE it.
I'm also a big fan of Redken AllSoft. It makes my hair really greasy if I use it more than 2 days in a row, but now that I read all of your suggestions, I think I must be using too much.
Has anyone tried Redken So Long? I've always been curious about it, because my hair is currently almost-bra-length and my goal is to grow it even longer. I like All Soft so much, it's tempting to try So Long, but I noticed they don't have many common ingredients.
Have any of you tried So Long? What did you think?
Thanks and So Long! Traci

I know you guys will read this post so THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for talking about all soft. I have fine hair and it doesn't weigh it down at all and feels so soft. I am totally in love with it and probably will never go back to my old brand. Now if you could just find me a good straightener/defrizzer for when I blow dry my hair.....

WOW!!! thankz u guyz!!!! hmm... but how would u know if people have used the shampoo if u purchase it on ebay? maybe they've used the shampoo before or... added something to it.. kan i really trust them????
I see all of the all's on all of some of the pages. All I want to know why are all the alls, all over the walls.....umm.....posts. Red alls, small alls, all capitall alls, All of theses alls are driving me up the wall. All they do is make me feel really small. I think I will crall out to my small hall and call all my tall and small freinds down at the mall. And this small ballkeeps me from a tall fall from my own insanity up the wall.

I just tried the All-Soft shampoo and conditioner for the first time this week.
The smell and feel of the shampoo is gorgeous!
I used to think you can never use too much conditioner, but I think I did. I was so encouraged by the great shampoo that I used a LOT of conditioner, and it left my hair a bit heavy. It felt even worse upon waking on day 2, so, I rewashed and then used a smaller amount of conditioner, just enough to coat the ends, back and a little of the sides. None on the scalp.
THEN the results were smashing! What a terrific product.
By the way, I picked up 10 oz of shampoo and 8 oz bottle of conditioner for $9.99 on ebay, + about $6 for shipping. He threw in two free samples of other Redken products. It was a great transaction. There are lots of great salon products on sale (brand new) on ebay.

Manufacture Reccomended Retail Price for a 10.1oz bottle of All Soft Shampoo is 8.50. However, Redken just repackaged all their home hair care line. If you find it in the old bottle it should be 7.95.
All Soft is really great!!!!
