Have you noticed Philip created an entire category of products known as Rx? They are easy to spot because they all have a purple square label on the front of each bottle with the name of the product…
Daily HaiRx Xtreme Repair Spray
Deep Hydrating Hair and Scalp Treatment
RepairHair Leave-In Heat Styling Treatment
Clarify Shampoo Treatment
Detox Shampoo Treatment
But why Rx? Philip specifically formulated these revolutionary, tech smart products to help stylists and guests tackle niche’ hair and scalp problems such as breakage, loss of moisture, excess oil, DHT removal, chlorine or mineral removal and damaged hair. Each formula is made with the very best ingredients and technology while being color safe, strengthening, hydrating, shine creating and so much more.
They are also non-texture-specific, meaning they can be used universally on any guest suffering from any of these problems no matter their hair texture. This makes them easy to prescribe for the stylist too! We can treat the Rx problem, while separately addressing texture with the rest of their recommended Philip Pelusi products.
But who is the “hair doctor” writing the Rx prescription? You are! The stylist should analyze the hair and scalp and make product recommendations to help solve these problems. We are not talking about diagnosing medical conditions, please leave those to their physician. But cosmetic or cosmeceutical problems, such as those listed above, can be helped or managed by one or several products in Philip’s Rx collection.
After the stylist analyzes the hair and scalp and has a thorough verbal consultation with the guest, they can select the Philip Pelusi Rx product or products and recommend them to the guest. Show and tell the guest everything they need to know for successful use of the product at home. Which product to use, how to apply it, how much to apply, how frequently to use it, how long it should stay on the hair and scalp before being rinsed thoroughly, are all things that need to be part of the stylist’s prescription. Just think of the Image Profile as your prescription for each guest.
And be sure to follow up on the Rx product they purchased when you see the guest at their next visit too. How has the product been working for them? What positive changes have they noticed with their hair and or scalp? And make sure they are still using the product correctly. Proper use of each product makes a big difference in the results they will experience! Just tweak their application plan as needed!
