Hi there! We are RED 7 SALON (http://www.red7salon.com), a boutique hair salon company with 2 locations in Chicago.





Great question and, might I add, an important one. YES, all products expire. Now...is there some sort of leeway on the expiration date. Yes, of course. This is very similar to any other packaged product - take food for example. You can certainly eat a can of beans after the expiration date, but you shouldn't push it too far. With hair products - it all really depends on the manufacturer. However, the standard rule of thumb for most hair products would be to go no longer than 1 year after you purchased it. Why? Well, if it's a quality product made with quality ingredients, the structural integrity of the ingredients will begin to diminish. You don't want that.





Perfect example - a lot of times the ';professional salon brand'; products that you purchase at a drugstore or big chain store are OLD. This might mean that while they were sitting in a warehouse to wait to get shipped to the store - they may have been damaged from excessive heat or light exposure. Why would they sit in a warehouse for so long. It's something called PRODUCT DIVERSION. Basically, every major manufacturer of professional salon brands are out to tackle the companies who buy up salon products from salons going out of business or getting rid of a product line.





Bottomline - don't buy OLD products. They will not work as well and they could be a complete waste of money.





Best thing to do...get some new stuff. Good luck to you!

i think it sort of does.. if you look on the back of the bottle or whatever it usually says to be used within 1 or 2 years.

Yes it does. Usually on the back of bottles it has a picture of a small pot with a Number in it. The number in the pot is the number of months it will last when opened.
