Hair supplies

Due to my career I have a couple hundred dollars worth of purchases each month that I won't be recording in this journal. I have dedicated myself to 3 separate brands and with hair products it is hard to give up your comfort zone. When I first moved to Minnesota I had started working with a very unfamiliar brand. I thought it would be helpful since 3 out of 7 of the stylist at my salons also used that brand. Within the first month I turned out the worst color of my life. So I went through a bit of a discovery period, trying several different color lines until I decided on Swarzkopf and Redken Shades. We used Pureology and Swarzkopf in the salon for styling aids and I have grown to loved the looks I can create with these products. I know Pureology is made in the usa and I assume that Redken is as well. Swarzkopf is a German company, so I assume their production is in Germany. I have decided to record the styling tools that I purchase, ie. blow dryers, curling irons, etc. So on that note I had to purchase a new curling iron yesterday. The beauty supply stores basically all carry the same brands of tools, which in my case yesterday made it hard to even find the correct model of iron. The one and only marcel iron that I could find was no doubt made in China.
