I called ISO-was told perms were only sold to licensed professionals.they are not sold to the public.she said beware.is this the real product?

Yes, it is the real product. I think many products that were once sold to salons are also sold to the public, ie Redken, etc.

Should you purchase it in a beauty supply or Sally's-type "store" it would be at cost, 3.99 or so, which you would be required to supply your licensing info. On here, you purchase at retail prices with no license info required, which I hope never changes.....

No, it wasn't passed the expiration date. Amazon sells products from many different vendors, so it might have come from a salon. I don't recall.

Yes, this is the real product. I bought it from Amazon but in reading about it before purchase it is presented as used by professionals. It was a very good perm. My hair has a tendency to frizz as it is highlighted but there was no damage afterwards. It also lasted well. I got it done in August and am getting another one put in tonight, 1/23/15. Could have used it a little sooner but not much. My hair grows very fast.

I looked and looked on box and could not tell if it was a authentic Iso. I swear by Iso perms and have always had great luck with them. Since I let my cosmo. license expire, I ordered one on line. It came out terrible. I was not sure if I left it on too long or if my hair is that damaged. I wondered myself if these were not the real deal. Like I said, even damaged hair, I always got a good perm with Iso, so I don't know. Sorry, I'm not much help.

There isn't one on there. Hmmm. Maybe that's answering my question. I know it's not authentic or something is up with it. I have been using this stuff since 2006. I always see results and with this, I don't have the same outcomes.

I purchased mine from a seller called Beauty in Style fulfilled through Amazon back in 2012. Unfortunately it doesn't appear that they are still a seller of the item as what I got was 100% authentic. Seems like some of the sellers here on Amazon may not be selling authentic products now. I personally wouldn't take the chance after reading the reviews and would order right from Clairsonic. Looks like they are doing 15% off today (with coupon) and free shipping so it may be a good time to buy. FYI, I purchased this for my mom and use it almost as much as she does.

I don't see y not ! Although I don't have a perm I believe it says on the box u can! It works great n ur gonna luv ur hair color!

The product does what it says if you use it correctly. I'd recommend having someone who is used to dealing with perms and relaxers do it for you though. Its tempting to leave it on longer than you should, but don't! That's how your hair gets fried! Also you will want to start using a weekly deep conditioner after this and expect to have to trim the ends after the treatment since split ends will be more noticeable.

The seller I bought from sold me a genuine product, since I managed to register it on the Clarisonic website. I got mine from Health and Beauty On-Line Store.

How do you know that this is fake and paid for reviews? Do you have any proof to back this up? I would be very interested, as I ordered this product and hate to waste money on products due to the reviews. Why would Amazon let this happen and Dr, Oz? I need to hear more about this.

I had this exact question when I was researching so I created a video to show how it works: http://www.amazon.com/review/R7OQJ64Z8PLDE/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

Actually, I have also purchased this product for $90 from my esthetician but decided to purchase from Amazon because it was half the price. It looks, smells and works the same for me. However, I just read some of the other reviews about the online product containing several parabens (not sure exactly what that is) but definitely plan to do some research now that I've seen the reviews. Hope this helps.

As a licensed esthetician, I would highly recommend that you purchase Image skincare products from a salon or day spa. There is a strong possibility that Image skincare products sold here are not authentic and/or expired.

Sadly this did not work for me. What I can recommend as far as this product goes is to use a leave in conditioner with it. I noticed it was very drying. By the 8th day (also the last day I used the product) I looked like I had gotten a very, very bad perm.

I love Image Vital C products. However, every time I have bought any of Image's products online I have received an imitation of that product, some better than others. Image states in the website "products are solely sold by licensed aestheticians and physicians in spas, medical spas and physicians offices. It is our philosophy to not sell our products over the internet or in department stores." Personally, I no longer purchase these products online, I purchase through my licensed aesthetician. For me, there is a big difference in the quality.

This DMSO is not for people. It is a solvent. I bought it by mistake. There is another DMSO that IS for people. Look for it - but don't buy this one.

Mark, I suggest you google the product yourself and see the information you seek. I do not represent the company. I only use the product. It works for me. That is as far as I will go with this!

I have the original Gold Elements products and they are fantastic, especially the Truffle Infusion line, the Gold line too, they work incredibly well, as advertised. Best cream I have ever used in my life. It is also an awfully expensive line, as many of you pointed out here. There's no way that this cream they are selling on Amazon is the same product, simply not possible, unless it's either expired, or a defective batch, or simply fake (as in a different product than the original).

Yes; it's not the authentic stuff like I got from my salon. It was very watery. The smell was even different and it dried my hair out and even made it frizzy unlike the authentic product which made my hair so soft. I will not purchase from here again!! I might try Walgreens. I noticed that they sell it online, and I feel like they are more trustworthy. Also, I compared the bottles and the logo is different. I believe without a doubt this product is a fake. Save your hair and do not waste your money!! Pay a little more to ensure this product is genuine from a reputable seller.
