Salon Express Nail Art Stamping Kit like may other enticing items advertised on TV appeal to our young girls, making them believe they are a "must have" item. My daughter spent her allowance money on a Salon Express kit and after several attemps she realized it was yet again another product advertised on TV that does not work as claimed.
The packaging says "Fun, Neat & Easy To Use". It certainly wasn't fun, but rather frustrating. It wasn't neat because the stamp didn't work and she had to keep removing the bottom layer of nail polish with nail polish remover and reapply the bottom layer, wait for it to dry then try the stamp with another color on top of the base coat. It was definitely not easy to use because after many attemps she just gave up. The packaging also says "Professional Salon Results". Clearly you already know what I am going to say about that! They lied, and it is false advertising!
A few months ago she bought Slushy Magic and was faced with the same disappointment. What snow flake technology are they talking about? Her drink did not slushify!
Now I have started saving her receipts so that we can return these type of purchases that are advertised as something they are not. As a consumer it is so annoying to see these products being sold at many retailers to unsuspecting consumers. The company making them, Spark Innovators of Fairfield, NJ is making a profit and the retailers selling it are also making a profit because most people don't bother to return this type of item.
Let us not put up with these type of products that don't work! Save the receipt and for goodness sake return items like this, that don't work and get your money back. Why should the makers of Salon Express continue to sell this product and make profits?
We as consumers need to send a clear message to companies who falsely advertise their products, and to retailers who continue to sell them, not caring that they are garbage products that don't work. They make a profit, what do they care? Are most people really going to go out of their way to return a product under $10 or $20 dollars? For people who have little time, this is more of a hassle than it is worth, especially if if was purchased somewhere that they don't frequent.
Retailers are gambling on consumers loosing receipts and/or not having time to return the items that don't work. Walgreens has a specific shelf for products "as seen on TV". Well my friends stay away from these products because they are usually cheaply made and don't perform as advertised.
