I heard a rumour that Aveda is pulling products off the market or that the products are scarce. Any scoops on that?I am addicted to the Deep Revitalizing and so I am stocking up just in case.Thanks,Terri

It's not that they are becomming scarce, it's just that Aveda is getting pickier about who can carry their product. Now the rule is, a salon has to purchase at least $200 worth per month to qualify and cannot have more than two other product lines. It is their way of trying to keep an air of exclusivity. I wish the quality alone was enough to make it exclusive. If they try to say it's for shortage of quality ingredients, then explaine this, Aveda.."renewable source"and just jack the price up instead. I don't think that is the reason. I think it's just their way of strong-arming salons into greater commitment and to cut down on competition. Here's food for thought. If stylist are only experiencing Aveda, they won't be informed of the benifits of other products and that may create some competition for Aveda, ooooh.

Could you please tell me what kind of hair you have and how often you use the Deep Penetrating? I have fine yet abundant lightened hair that's on the dry side, and this is the only Aveda conditioner I have not tried, and I haven't been too thrilled with any of the others. The Cherry/Almond Bark just coated my hair; the Curressence didn't do enough to justify the price; the Pure-fume Brilliant didn't do much of anything; and I once loved Rosemary/Mint before my hair became damaged, but now it's not enough moisture.Thanks!Kara

They are changing their distribution because the company was bought by Estee Lauder.
