And they have a salon finder now

Personally, I love Onesta! it feels even better in my hair than synthetic products, and it't totally safe! and you guys should compare the pricing - check out other professional lines like Pureology (and they still have harmful chemicals) for $25 (and up!) for 8oz...Onesta is only $19.50 for 16.3oz! That's awesome! I buy Onesta here in Minneapolis and my hair has never been shinier! People even comment on how great it looks! They have little sample packettes for sale at my salon, if you want to try the line and not spend $19.50 right away. You should totally try it out.

Hi Denise,

Yes, right now it's only available at salons (though it's not apparent which ones just yet). I don't know where the costs could be cut, but another great idea would be to have sample sizes that would be less (for less, of course) that people could try to see if they are willing to make the change.

Another thing to think about: conventional salon and luxury shampoos are already pricey. Every once and a while, I would "indulge" myself in a luxury shampoo at Sephora...which also costs $20/bottle...and contained all sorts of SLES and SLS. Looking back, I realize that I just paid for packaging, a fancy name, sales at Sephora and shipping. Now, I can spend that same $20 and support something I believe in without putting my body at risk.

Regardless, $20 is still $20, and it's a lot to pay for shampoo...but as the demand gets higher, the price will come down to the masses because we will demand it...it will become the norm to have natural and organic shampoo. But then, we'll just call it shampoo. :)

Like many of the others,....I LOVE supporting a company with such values and beliefs. However, WOW what a price. The way it is, we sacrifice many other things to buy organic foods - when we can. There has to be some way they can cut that cost a little? Sell to the public off their web? Or, is it true (as one comment stated) it can only be bought through salons?

I just want to say that along with the benefits of the shampoo/conditioner, they also have a great line of finishing products that actually work! Sometimes when going natural we have to give up the effectiveness we're used to with the chemicals...but not with these! They're styling products are GREAT. And though higher priced, you really don't have to use much at all, so the product really lasts a long time.

quite expensive, but i agree with Deb....this is the same idea of putting organic food into your body...using organics ON your body is helpful too. we absorb so much through our skin. have you heard about the sunscreen in breast milk studies? i wonder if these chemicals are part of the problems....

It's wonderful to see more true natural hair care products available. Yes, $20 is more than our usual $3.00 bottle however, when you weigh the consequences of ingredients between the two it's no different than eating organic fruits and vegetables versus those laden with pesticides. We need to live more simple, healthier lives.

Hi Gina,

Maybe this goes against the idea of conservation, but have you ever considered buying an organic or natural product as your "special" shampoo to supplement your daily use shampoo? I bet you would be able to tell a difference, too. I like to switch up my shampoos constantly, anyway..and I'm finding myself switching it up often from conventional to organics.

Hi FictionWriter,

Well the problem with Onesta right now is that it's only available in salons. I would love to be able to pick this up at any Rite Aid or Walgreens. Definitely contact them at 877-542-5300 or via email at contactus@onestahaircare.com

The cost is high, but considering the fact that the cheap shampoos use engine degreaser to make them foamier and that roughens the texture of hair and makes it more susceptible to breakage and split ends, I don't think spending $20 on shampoo and another $20 on condition is too expensive. I'd like to keep my hair and scalp healthy. But where do you purchase Onesta?

Although I am happy to see a company with strong values and I would love to add this shampoo to my collection of beauty products, I don't see myself splurging on $20 for shampoo when I could go to Target for a $5 product. It's too expensive for my blood (a recent college graduate simply trying to make next month's rent!). But someday I would like to be able to support a company like Onesta.
