Personally, at the "Chinese" Store. I live in the South and mostly everyone I know calls it that. Where you live, where do you get your products?

My cousin brings them with her when she comes to visit. She gets them from Trade Secret. I also get some from local beauty supply stores.

I usually go to Sally's and if I dont feel like going too far (basically being lazy LMAO) I go up the street to the regular BSS.

LOL ... .OT: But this reminded me of a story... I was in one of the Korean BSS a few weeks ago. You know they watch you like a hawk when you're in there. So the cashier (korean) was getting ready to check this lady out. She'd been watching the lady shopping/looking at hair & products, so when the lady came up to check out she had 2 bags of hair and some other stuff. The cashier apparently saw her pick up 3 bags earlier and thought she'd stolen one. So she called her on it....the lady said she picked up 3 but decided to only get 2 and told her she'd put the other one back on the table. Do you know the cashier stopped ringing up customers to go back and look at the table to be sure the lady didn't steal it!!!! My gosh, this was the funniest scene I've witnessed in a long time. I don't have to tell you that this sista "went completely off" on the cashier for about 10 minutes! Talk about some cuss words I've never heard before. I was embarrased for her, but it was hiliarious.

... Anyway, you know where I buy my products .. also Sally's, Walmart, Target, Walgreens, etc.

they really do watch you and I hate it when they start speaking their native language and they look at you out of the corner of their eye...

so its a cultural thing then? because i went in to get some shea butter two months from a local korean supply store by me...this woman had the nerve to imply that that there was one less tin than should have been there if i was only buying one.

because of that, i'm never going to purchase from another one of their establishments again. I'm giving you my money just so you can treat me like trash? i dont think so.

like i really need to steal a $7 tin of shea? the nerve

try to shop where ever the product may be...usually walmart, sally's and so on. I don't like stores that watch you like a hawk because of that I just don't purchase from them.
