Curve Salon Products

Did they raise the prices?

I know they were expensive before, but it seems like they are more so now. Maybe it's my imagination.

Nods, you're seeing right.
If I remember right, the Meringue and Pudding were both 20 and INCLUDED shipping, now it's $28 +shipping.

And the buttercreme was before given as a sample when I ordered, and IMO it is not work $48.

Well I am just glad that BBD Glass website will be up and running soon, because I rather deal with that instead.

 

[CurlyCrly]

I did a search after posting that and saw that someone mentioned the price change for the pudding before.

EbonyF, is the BBD Glass similar to the curve products? I always thought that it was a serum. Correct me if I'm wrong. People seem to like it.

 

[blue_flower]

I bet the ingredients in the Curly Pudding are not any more different than something you can find at the beauty supply store for less. $48!!!!!!

 

[Armyqt]

I thought BBD Glass and Stretch were made by Curve. I was under the impression that the new products replaced these.

 

[Armyqt]

BTW, those prices are outrageous. For that kinda money, they should instantly texturize the hair.

 

[sassygirl125]

When I ordered the pudding it was $20 + $8 for shipping. The Buttercreme is waaaaaaaaay overpriced.

I don't begrudge anyone a profit, but $58 for a moisturizer? Child please...

FYI Ladies-- Bubble Up Styling Pudding is practically identical to the Curly Pudding and it's a lot cheaper.

Good! I want to try this and compare it with the others. Thanks for the heads up.

Sassygirl, doesn't Curve Salon make the BBD glass?

 

[sassygirl125]

I think they used to sell it. But I'm pretty sure it was made by another company. Big Bad something...

 

[buffalosoldier]

The products look nice and Im not cheap but I would NEVER pay that. They must be operating at a 300% mark up. I wouldnt mind a t-shirt though

FOTE Aloe vera gel works very well and you can get a huge bottle for $1.99 from big lots !!
That bubble up stuff looks interesting

I'm gonna check out that "Bubble Up Styling Pudding"! Does the "Chocolate" pudding make your hair appear darker?

No. The lady on the phone said the only difference is that that as the chocolate doesn't look white while it's drying on dark hair. That was another problem with the CP--I would have to blow dry or be trapped in the house until my hair was at least 80% dry.

(The CP is lavender in color, but it looks white on my hair for at least an hour.)

Thank you Sassy!

There is a product list, but you can't order on-line yet.

 

[Armyqt]

Thanks Destinee. I wonder why the Stretch is going for $45. I'll probably get the Glass just to see how it works.

 

[buffalosoldier]

I saw Mr BBD on Ricki Lake once on a hair war show. Let's just say that he is really out there

Very OTT flamboyant and funky...

 

[Zoe]

Where on the site do u see the BBD Glass?

Does it have another name?

 

[Afrodite]

I just wanted to let all of you know that I emailed Payne's Beauty Supply, Inc about stocking the Miss Jessie's products. He claims to specializes in finding hard-to-find hair care products & appliances for their customers fast. I also stated that the products had to be reasonable priced.

Keep me posted on how Bubble Up Styling Pudding works. Just in case he can't find the products.

 

[CurlyCrly]

Yes, everyone keep us updated.
I was reading some of the past posts about the curly pudding and several people said that it made their hair hard, right? Well, the curve salon website says that it doesn't. I'd like to why they're saying that and others say the opposite. It has ingredients that seem like it would make the hair hard, or somewhat firm, but definitely not soft. I don't get it. Maybe their definition of "crunch" is different from everyone elses.

Although I haven't tried the Curly Pudding. I have the Glass and do like it. It defines curls and you only need a dab or else your hair will come out crunchy. IMO Curve made little money off of the Glass that they used so it was economically beneficial to create their own product. The glass and curly pudding also have the same coloring so I'm guessing that they are similar formulations. While I am a PJ, $28 + shipping? Nah. I'll pass. And the $48 product, my hair better grow an inch a week.

 

[ladymadonna]

OMG, when will that site be up??? I'm dying to try that product!

It says in a couple of weeks, but I don't know when the "couple of weeks" actually started. I sure hope they get rid of that black background and white text in the product area. I can barely read the text.

Well here's my two cents

My colleague at work, just had her hair cut at Curve. She's mixed heritage, black and white, so her hair is naturally curly and she wears it curly mostly. She bought the Curly Pudding because she loved the effect it had on her hair. When they put it on your hair at the salon, they put it on wet hair and have you sit under a hooded dryer. When your hair is dry, it is hard and stiff but then they have you bend over and while your head is upside down, they use a diffuser and their hands to scrunch and lengthen the curl. Probably the heat from the diffuser softens the product and you lose the crunch. When she came to work, I felt her hair and it felt soft. Definitely not crunchy. It felt the same as mine does when I put a touch of gel in it to smooth my edges, so maybe the product works differently on different textures or maybe it's meant for people to use heat to soften the product after the initial use.

There is a guy by the name of Clint McPherson in D.C., I can't remember the name of the salon (it was a few years ago) that does the Wash n' Wear relaxer that is done at JAZMA salon in Canada. You can call Jazma (www.jazma.com) for his number.

 

[oglorious1]

The stuff at curves is tooooo expensive, besides what are the ingredients that make it so fantabulous(I'm really turning into a dictionary!!!)

 

[CurlyCrly]

someone listed the ingredients in another thread.

 

[oglorious1]

where?

 

[Nonpareil]

I ordered the Curly Pudding and have yet to use it, but I did receive a sample of the Buttercreme (about a 4-5 ounce jar). The buttercreme has a strong peppermint smell that won't play nicely with most hair product scents. It's thick and yellow and reminds me A LOT of that Profectiv creme - same feel, consistency, results. NOT WORTH IT.
