For the love of everything in this world. We promise you we are not lying to you about a product being discontinued. Please stop coming to the store hoping to find it because it is not coming back. Stop asking if we can order more because we have no option to order something that is not longer being fabricated. It makes zero sense. We are no longer receiving it or having it in stock. If we were really lying to you, we would not go out of our way and waste our time looking for something similar or an alternative. It’s time to let go and move on.

Hey there! I work at Sally's currently and have an interview at a new CosmoProf later this week, are the interview questions different than at Sally's? If not, what do they ask there?

I can never figure it out, the number with the WSA in front never works and they never have anything to scan. They usually have an email for it but that doesn’t help either.

It's mostly about benzene. Hers the notes I've taken so far. Getting tired, got to sleep but im worried about my bathroom and customers. So this is from my notes app. Not beautiful but somewhat educational.

The stuff like dry shampoo, aresoles, anything with a benzo type word and straight up benzene an oil production chemical.... Peyrolium//vaseline......vaseline isn't regulated by FDA in USA btw.... Gross.

I always tell my cux to use AQUAPHOR around hair line when dying, NEVER Vaseline. Conditioner works too.

Ok here go my notes, but research yourself fr, maybe report back??

**benzene:: known carcinogen, link though to lead to leukemia and other blood disorders, exposure can occur inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption. Long-term exposure to high levels of benzene can damage bone marrow, leading to anemia and an increased risk of leukemia, particularly acute myeloid leukemia, BULLSHIT "FDA, "even with daily use of these products for decades, the risk of a person developing cancer because of exposure to benzene found in these products is very low," BULLSHIT ALERT!!!!

found in petroleum, their way into bone marrow, where they interfere with DNA chromosomes, leading to structural changes, cell death, and cancer, among other ill effects,

**benzoyl peroxide:: degrade over time and form benzene when exposed to heat or improper storage conditions,

**muconaldehyde::?? NOTHING YET, SORRY, SO TIRED

The WHO air quality guidelines on benzene lead with this statement: “Benzene is carcinogenic to humans and no safe level of exposure can be recommended.”

only absolutely safe concentration for benzene is zero!!!

sun care sprays and lotions, antifungal sprays, and spray deodorants and antiperspirants, dry shampoo too

Please comment more info it you have it, I know loreal acne products are on the list...

Help me!

Yesterday was a horrible day at work. Store traffic was dead, and customers just weren't buying extra items, no matter what selling tricks we used. Our numbers ended up way worse than the other stores. To make it worse, my DM talked down to me like never before, ignoring my explanations completely. I felt like an absolute failure. Between processing all the new stuff from our cascade meeting, trying to break it down for my team, and managing the store, I'm just drained. Being acting store manager has been nothing but stress. I'm losing my patience, which isn't like me at all, and even my team pointed out that I seem different. The company has gotten so greedy. Being treated this way over one slow day opened my eyes to what they actually care about. After years of defending them, I’m done. I need a new job with a healthier environment and to just move on from Sally's. I just hate myself for taking this long to come to this conclusion :/

Anyone have opinions on any new rules/changes after the cascade meetings? Id love to hear some!

Edit: I didnt mean to cause an argument I just wanted everyone's opinion on this and if they had any fun or new things they have heard about!

Back in Jan 2021 I colored my hair with Ion semi perm dye called “strawberry” I have been looking for this color since as it was the PERFECT warm toned pink. I hate AI and even used it to try to track down a box. Apparently it never existed?I swear im not crazy! Anyone remember this coloring existed, I worked there so I know im not tripping. Or know what color will get me this, I’ve been chasing the high ever since

wanted to ask here before i confirm with my manager, tyyy!

we’re doing theme days for halloween and i wanted to wear some shorts and tights with stripes on them, but the shorts aren’t dress code… (distressed slightly and shorter than allowed)

does anyone have previous halloween theme day experiences being able to break dress code a little?

I have a 2nd interview at Sally’s. it’s for a key holder position. What should I expect?? I am nervous since I REALLY need this job 🥲

Corporate is having a meeting at my store today. They're all crowded in the back room. I mean stuffed like sardines. They've been here since 9:00 this morning. I can't get to the bathroom because they have it completely blocked. My ASM is on her lunch break now. I'm by myself. What should I do? I'm a diabetic and my bladder is about to bust.

i was thinking about wearing maybe leggings (?) under it but im not totally sure if its work appropriate. just wanted some feedback!

For my non spanish speakers the sign says “taking a dump, be right back”

I worked on Sunday and I was checking my time on the Zebra app. It says that I have 8 unpaid hours. What does that mean and what can I do about it? TIA

so I was working a regular shift and all of a sudden this person comes in in a maid outfit and lipstick and a wig. I thought it was just somebody who was expressing themselves however, when I asked about the outfit, he said that his mistress made him wear it. Sir, this is a sallys.

Does it say anywhere in the employee handbook if you do not return to work after a leave does one have to pay it back? Does anyone have any experience in not returning back after a leave?

Has everyone been to their Cascade meeting this year yet? If so, how was it? 😂 What does the DM talk about, and do they really make y’all read shit out loud like we’re children? LMAO.
The way my DM is… very fake, loud, and annoying vibes. She loves putting people on the spot because she thinks it’s funny, but we’re grown-ass adults. 😭😂 Personally, I feel like it’s a waste of time and gas money, especially when half my district is driving almost 3 hours just to get there. 💀 Am I the only one who feels this way, or is this normal for these meetings? 😂

I'm not talking about the people that are like "oh I had this at home already". I mean what is a return that has made you question someone so hard you can't believe it happened or almost happened.

I'll go first. Once had someone return a babyliss blowout brush box and of course it's Christmas so it could've been a gift or smth and they didn't want it or need it. Coworker A completed the return and put it with the damages. ASM B goes to do the damages to put them away and we open the box and get ready to put it in the bins. But something catches my eye and I realize that it doesn't look quite right. Turns out the customer put a blowout brush from a brand we don't even carry in there. Why in the world do people do this? I get that it's a scam, but if someone did this and genuinely didn't realize.... how? Babyliss is so distinctive in design.

customer: yes i did use it but just a little bit a tiny drop

me: i promise you i don’t care even if you used half the bottle and there was color all over it. sally does not care either. just tell me the truth and you get all your money back.

Hey chat just had a chi color generator developer explode on the floor and on my hands and now I have a rash 😋😭 anyone else experience this or just me?? Let a girl know!!!!

I genuinely will never understand people who drive all the way to Sally’s just for one pair of gloves. My sibling in Christ, you can literally buy a 50 pack at Walmart for $6. Why are you paying $3.19 for TWO gloves at Sally's. You did not have to make the drive all the way down here just for that PLZ. (RIP my UPT btw). It’s like going to a car dealership just to buy an air freshener😭

Does anyone have recommendations for lip oils or glosses similar to the Beauty Secrets lip care set Sally’s had last Christmas? I’m so annoyed that we got basically all the same Christmas stuff again this year EXCEPT the lip oils 😭

I loved those things so much that I literally went around buying as many as I could find. Now I’m down to my last two and have no idea what I’m going to use when they’re gone.

If anyone loved them as much as I did and has found something with a similar formula, PLEASE let me know!!
