HAIR Care Products

Thank you to Dean, Sissy and all the others at Fantastic Sams that helped us gather the information and photos (not to mention the fun!) to be able to do this section on hair. If you happen to live in the Charleston area, the coupon above it good! Just print out this page and take it to one of the four Fantastic Sams listed and they'll be more than happy to not only honor it but to do their best to help you look your best!

Below is a chart to help understand the base differences between various hair products. While the samples used are for Fantastic Sams products, the guidelines hold true for most any major brand products. It is advised though, that if you can, you should buy a salon brand over a grocery store brand. There really is a difference!
