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.

I don't know. I purchased the product for resale and do not use it personally. Rob

Well, it appears Amazon spammed past purchasers of a product all on the same day in what appears to be a staged question. I mean really, this question defies logic. If you own it, you would know from feeling it whether it would work or not and if you are wanting to buy it, why would you even consider buying a wash mitt for waxing? And what about the forums that are already there, where people comment about products. Were those not doing the job? No, I'm not believing that this is genuine.

I really can't speak for the company, I'm just a user of the product. I began using some of these products after a face lift, under direction of my plastic surgeon. I now buy on line because it's cheaper. The only thing I can say that is different is that they have several products that are very specific to your skin's ne99eds, so maybe a professional would be best to recommend what is appropriate for your skin. Also, you use VERY LITTLE of these products, a small amount goes a very long way, so although they are expensive, they last a very long time I usually replace mine 2-3 times per year, which isn't bad for the great quality of the products and the results, and I don't waste money any longer on $29 and $39 items that end up in a drawer until I throw them away.

Check this review someone did, very nice about the comparison of the two:http://www.amazon.com/review/R12DMNOO8GC42G/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

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've never seen a straightener used on wet hair before, I wouldn't recommend it, it would probably smoke up and frizz rather than work properly, I'd also probably wouldn't buy any hair straightener from Amazon, they're all fake unfortunately, and yes I said ALL. They all look good when you open the box, but the plates aren't what they're supposed to be. So even if you could straighten your hair wet with the real one, you couldn't with the fake one therefore thinking the Nano product isn't good when actually its a fake. Think about it. A $200 hair straightener for $40? Don't make the same mistake I made twice. Buy a Chi for $69.99 at Marshall's. Its got tourmaline plates and you know its not a fake I've never seen a straightener used on wet hair before, I wouldn't recommend it, it would probably smoke up and frizz rather than work properly, I'd also probably wouldn't buy any hair straightener from Amazon, they're all fake unfortunately, and yes I said ALL.

Hi Kim - agreed. however, since the company has admitted in an Australian legal settlement that the product was falsely advertised and has no scientific basis for its claims (see http://www.accc.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/964074 ), we are interested in US buyers (especially California residents) who feel the product was not as advertised.

Yes, I understand your concern. This is a good brand to buy and it is and has worked for me. There are a lot of perps out there but this has integrity. I hope this helps.

I read about it in trade magzs. I pride myself in being well versed in ALL skin products. I am a stylist & knowledge is power! I do try ALL products & give you honest answers. My clients trust me on my evaluations......or I wouldn't have clients! Swiss Ultimate stands behind all of their products. You have nothing to lose.

According to the company that makes this product, it might be fake because they say; "Unfortunately we do not have anyone that is authorized to sell our products online. We cannot guarantee the product authenticity if the product was purchased through an unauthorized source. Farouk Systems, Inc. distributes its products only through the professional beauty supply industry and to professional salons and stylists. We discourage customers from purchasing online because of counterfeiting. If the product was purchased online, that will automatically void any warranty." Hope that helps!

Sorry, I do not know what Isofix is? Maybe you should contact the distributors...... Sorry i could not help.

I have never been so disappointed in a perm as I was with this one. My advice is to try some other brand. I got nothing out of this. No waves, no curl, nothing.

I recommend you not buy this product from Amazon. Go to the Pravana site and they have a list of providers and salons throughout the US. This is the only way to be certain of what you are getting. My experience with the authentic Pravana product is that it is nothing like any chemical treatment. It feels like a conditioner being applied, does not burn or smell like perms or certain keratin treatments of the past. It is safe to use on chemically treated hair, but you may have breakage when weaning your hair from a chemical to Pravana, due to the damage already caused by the chemical. For me I had been off the chemical treatments for years before using Pravana. I experienced that with Pravana I can have a loose soft curly look or when blow dried a straight look. Unfortunately through amazon there is at least one if not more vendors who are selling a counterfeit that is like a perm, it burns, it damages and more scary than anything I do not know what the heck it is, it does not have a similar burn or smell to any perm or keratin treatments I know of. But for certain this product was not Pravana. I purchased this item and now my many years of being without chemical damage has reverted me to damaged hair and irritated scalp. I contacted my local Pravana specialist and have booked a treatment to try nourish my hair back to health. Inaddition I contacted Pravana about this Amazon purchased item. They are sorry I experienced this but assured me that the product is not theirs and the vendor I purchased it from is not one of their distributors. Be careful and Good luck!!

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.

Sadly there are way too many counterfeit beauty products that have the exact same markings/packaging as their higher-priced originals do. Buying from an Amazon vendor is no guarantee--just like eBay! BUYER BEWARE! But it would be very helpful if everyone would mention who the vendor was when they purchase from Amazon--regardless of a positive or negative experience. Suggest Amazon make it mandatory to list your Seller if you leave a review-I am not buying here. At my hair salon, 10 oz costs $32 plus tax.
