Did you know that CND has partnered up with Loxa Beauty to not only sell their retail items, but to make sure local nail salons get credit for the sales? So many companies that build themselves as being “for the professional” actively sell their products directly to consumers via big box retail chains. In turn, they then sell professional products at prices the average salon cannot compete with. This is frustrating especially when a salon stocks a certain brand as a system or invested in a brand thinking it was exclusively professional.
So far, CND seems to maintain their mission of being a professional brand and in that vein they are now offering retail items (like polish) directly to the public online with the added boon of paying a local salon commission on the sales.
