That's strange because I know here in Australia you can buy the travel kit? It's about $400 though and included 100ml of the number 1, 100ml of number 2 and a bunch of the take home treatments to give to clients.

The exact same kit in Cureplex is $198.

So its not really their fault its being sold at such a ludicrous price?

Actually, that's for the large kit with 24 No.3 take homes. It breaks down to $5.60 per application for No.1 and No.2 and $28 for No.3. Yes, it is twice the price of US due to currency fluctuation and import taxes through haircare Australia. Typically, you will add $20-30 to a service to use No.1 and No.2 and retail No.3 for about $50 so it is not far off pricewise.

Star Qualities LTD is our UK distributor. Haircare Australia covers the entire AU.

As for comparisons in product, Cureplex primary active ingredient is sodium laneth-40 maleate/styrene sulfonate copolymer and is classified as hair waving or straightening hair fixing film forming. With that being said, it will coat the hair. There is absolutely no basis in chemistry. Ethanolamine, the second ingredient, helps to form emulsions by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified so that water-soluble and oil-soluble ingredients can be blended together. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is used in the cosmetics and beauty industry as a binder, film former, emulsion stabilizer, suspending agent and hair fixative. In addition to these first three ingredients, you have multiple oils. At best, this will coat the hair.

Olaplex is a single active ingredient with 8 worldwide patents. No.1 contains water and Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate. This active ingredient has two reactive ends and finds single sulfur hydrogen bonds and cross links them back together to form new disulfide bonds. This is an entirely unique chemistry created by two of the brightest chemists in the world. Our ingredients have been printed on the back of the bottles since August / September of last year. I will happily send over an MSDS sheet to anyone that would like one. Feel free to email me at [email protected].

Jordan, I've been following your Facebook Group for a while now but there's very little mention about UK and European distribution.

Will mobile hairdressers be able to purchase from Star Qualities?

Yes. It will be available to all hairdressers. We ran into an issue as the US ports were on strike for nearly 2 months. UK product is on the water now. It should be available within the next three weeks.

I would love to hear from a cureplex educator tho.. Because it's a given that competing companies will do this - they all want to be number 1
