Aveda??...where??

Hi Bill,You're right. I didn't mention the WW Beauty Gold Club. I didn't mention it because it was just started in the last week or so. You are probably one of the first new members. :-) I am planning to join myself since I want in on the daily & weekly specials. :-)I am in the process of writing hair care product reviews for several products I have tested and I am including pricing information.It is amazing but every time I compare WW Beauty Store with other online stores, they always come in a lot cheaper. So it is still my fav place to shop.Thanks for the update about the new club. Sounds like a good deal to me. :-)Best wishes,Karen> Patty,> Karen is so correct in letting you know about the> World Wide Beauty Store featured on this site.

It thoroughly agrees with my hair. A few weeks ago I bought one 9oz bottle of Shampure..and one 9oz bottle of Curessence.. cost 32.00. I went the next day and bought 9 bottles of different varieties of NG.. cost 42.00. A big cost difference. But I can't break away from Aveda all together.. that once a month deep conditioning with Curessence is a treat. I think the ones who have gotten into using NG owe Dawn a note of thanks.. Cher~

Hi,I have been a big supporter of the WW Beauty Supply site (listed in the Hair Boutique links section) with Mickhael and Ace for a long time. This site does carry the comple line of Aveda. Recently I ordered a large amount of products from them, including lots of ARTec and lots of Aveda. I was very pleased with the way they handled everything and they sent me lots of little tiny sample items. In fact, I got hooked on two of the little KMS products they sent me. (On no...more reviews I guess)I also use WW Beauty when I send thank you gifts of hair care products to visitors who help the Hair Boutique by donating photos or articles or other information. I have had great feedback from them about WW Beauty.I have gotten spoiled with WW Beauty. It used to be that I would have to get it my car and get to the place in Dallas where I bought all my Aveda and ARTec (Ecco Salon & Spa). The salon/spa was an Aveda concept salon and they gave me a volume discount with a punchcard. However I still had to pay sales tax (high in Dallas) and drive several miles and take time out of my too busy world to get the stuff.Now I just click over to the WW Beauty site, shop, type in my credit card, wait for my email confirmation from Ace and about 7-10 days later I swing by my mailbox and pick up my order. I save the hassle of physically going to the store and I save sales tax. I also think that the Aveda prices at WW Beauty are about the best I can find anywhere else. Including off the Internet.I would not recommend WW Beauty if I had not first tried their service and bought their products and if I had not done a Net comparison. I have a rule that I don't recommend any products or services that I personally believe would be a less than positive deal for the HB visitors.Best wishes,Karen
