Some of these distributors work directly with stores like CVS and Walgreens. So when these stores put in an order (a really big order, compared to a salon), the distributors just order more product from Paul Mitchell to fill the CVS order.

It’s not likely that Paul Mitchell even questions the big orders because company salespeople like the extra sales. They turn a blind eye to what’s going on just so they can express public “outrage” that their product is being sold at the local drugstore. This is a bunch of bunk.

The stuff you get at your local drugstore is every bit as good as the stuff you get at the salon. Don’t be fooled. If the folks at Paul Mitchell really wanted to stop these sales, they would simply question their distributors and find out who is selling to these outlets.

The problem of counterfeiting is a real one, but it’s not something that you’ll find at large stores like Target. Target is not going to sell something contaminated because the company would be sued in a heartbeat. The places that are sketchy are the small shops (some salons) with the dust on top of the bottles. Those are the places you have to worry about.
