Phillipe, who owns the "in" salon in West Podunkville, got my wife addicted to a "product" line called Pure Hair. She's almost out of something, and asked me to stop by Phillipe's and pick some up on Monday when I was in that part of town.
Phillipe wasn't in, but Isabella told me that they were out of Pure, and suggested a few other salons. None of them carried it. I asked Wanda from next door, and she doesn't carry it. (She laughed at me, and told me "that's what you get for allowing your wife to go to that phoney baloney over in the ritzy part of town -- his real name is Phil, and he ain't even gay."
A little internet research tells me that the stuff is made by altec, a company owned by L'Oreal (Mrs. Not Bob was crushed to hear this -- "hell, even the Piggly Wiggly sells L'Oreal!"), and it looks like the line has been discontinued.
But a few online places still seem to have it -- anyone ever heard of beautyjunky.com? Or have any trusted sites to suggest?
Thanks.

At some point, your wife is going to have to transition to something other product, and it might as well be now. She could talk to Phillipe about it. Phillipe is going to be selling something else to replace the Pure Hair line. Obviously he's making money off of the product sales, and it's likely he'll know what's similar enough to make your wife happy. Or not unhappy.
Though I understand the suckiness when a favorite product line goes under. My neon green toenail polish by Capri Nail Lacquer no longer exists. Best $1.99 I ever spent at Walgreens.
Usually I switch out product every time I use a bottle, so my hair doesn't build up and get used to Avalon Organics Therapeutic Volumizing Rosemary Shampoo or Shiaki Warm Shampoo.
ETA: I gave up long ago talking to Jerry about product, because in my opinion, his stuff was overpriced and my hair always looked good with the midlevel stuff that I use.
*sniff* I found out yesterday that Jerry and Yolanda have parted ways after 18 years together and five years of owning a business together and that the salon is closing down as of Tuesday. Apparently Jerry is going to reopen on his own, but they had to get rid of Cheryl, the best receptionist in the history of receptionists. He's hoping he can hire her back ASAP.
