I mean - it's the one place that I need to go ALONE.

I can't even concentrate with someone with me and it annoys me.

YES GIRL YES! I must go alone. For one thing, I like to take my time...compare...not hear "OMG YOU ARE BUYING ALL THAT!?"

It is funny when the BSS people know you. Four different ones say "HEYYYYYYYY! HOW U BEEN!" when I walk in the door. Shooooooooot, that is how I work my samples with my purchase.

"here is a little something for you. you will like it very much."

hahahahahaha! They probably say "sucker" when I walk out the door!

That happens to me at my favorite BSS :lol:

Last time I went the guy was like Oh so I see you got your hair braided! I was like yeah I'm about to take them out :look:

AAhhh yeah looks like ima haffta co-sign on the BSSA (a-anonymous). Um, Im not a product junkie per se but...I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE BSS. What is sad is that, I don't have time to go during the week cause im so busy with school. So, I go on the weekends, and thats also time that my SO spend time together and he always gets pissed off. I like in Bklyn, flatbush area...and there is a strip called Church Ave. and they have like a BSS like every other store and yep i visit all of em :lachen:

even though I walk out empty handed because Im flat broke :mad:

but I can't help myself. I am counting down the days till graduation, waiting for a job so that I can become the product Junkie that I wanna be! :lol:

see- that's the very same reason why I must go alone. no kids, no husband , nobody.

I don't wanna hear that junk :

"are you done yet?" "Can we go?"

un-unh- :nono:

I'll turn crazy out this piece! Just me and the Lord so He can convict me of any unnecessary spending going on. lol-

jnicole · Apr 25, 2007

I dream about going to the BSS. For the last 3.5 years I've lived in a town that's about 1% black and we have NO BSS's. :eek:

My feelings were so hurt when I found this out. We have a Beauty Mart which has a couple boxes of cream of nature relaxer. We don't even have a Sally's.

I have to drive 2.5 hours or order from the internet. I"m looking so forward to moving!!

i can't say i blame him. i know i get mad when a guy thinks spending quality time together is a trip to best buy or sound advice. yeah next time go alone.

Arcadian · Apr 25, 2007

SO has been with me to Sally's only once. Ive learned my lesson.
20 minutes in I hear this "Are you ready to go?"
I tell him, "No, why don't you go around the corner and have a slice of pizza or something?"
:lol:

Ok so he leaves, comes back, its been about 45 minutes.
I hear this "Are you ready to go?"
I tell him, "No I'm barely getting started. Didn't you say you wanted to go look at some speakers? Why don't you do that. Come back in an hour" :lol:

I got this look :mad:

So now I go alone. He knows when I say I'm going to Sally's I'm going to be gone 2-3 hours. :lachen:

I love the BSS. i don't go as often as i used to because the closest one to my house is about 25 min away.

I am so glad i found the LHCF site! you guys give good advice on what works so i don't have to waste money!

Brownie518 · Apr 25, 2007

I LOVE THE BSS!! They opened a new one nearby at the end of the year and I love it. It has every Dominican product you can think of, every kind of oil, relaxer, and everything else. At first I would go in every week, but now I have trained myself to go every other week. They all know me in there now. I love it. If it hadn't been raining so hard today I would have been already. I will going first thing in the morning. I need more Fermodyl 619 and BB Growth Oil, and whatever else I can get my hands on! Can't wait!!

I spend more time in Ricky's (NYC beauty shop) than the supermarket. I guess that's a good thing.

I may as well confess: I am a PJ

LadyZ · Apr 26, 2007

ME TOO!But what's so pitiful i be in there for hours looking @ the same products as if they put something new on the labels since the last time i came(within that same week).I do this @ walmart too,I just have to go on the hair product aisles. My kids hate it when I go to the bss cause they know I'm going down every aisle :lol:

LovelyMiracle · Apr 26, 2007

I went 2 days ago on my LUNCHBREAK and my co-worker looked at me with all my stuff and said "You're the only simpleton in captivity that goes to the beauty supply store and comes out with grocery bags" :grin:

angelk316 · Apr 26, 2007

I spend like an Hour in the BSS. I even browse on the internet when I am at work. I put items in the shopping cart like I am acutally shopping. But never check out. HHAHA

Dang, I do this too! :sekret:

Thank goodness I don't have anyone looking over my shoulder, because sometimes, I *DO* check out. :look:

jamiette · Apr 26, 2007

How funny is this question :lol:

! I am known to be a BSS addict. I will spend so much time in there and money. But I guess when hair is a passion to you getting excited about the BSS is just a fact of life, an expensive fact of life. At least it is for me :look:

Cien · Apr 26, 2007

I loove the BSS!!

and not just the BSS---but ANY place that sells hair products!! I was browsing through Walgreens on my lunchbreak yesterday---messed around, went down the 'hair stuff' aisle....and left with a container of Neutrogena Triple Moisture Silk Touch leave in cream....... :look:

I need some serious help..... I always seem to 'need' something. I shoulda joined that pj 'just use it up' challenge!!

:ohwell:

mscocoface · Apr 26, 2007

Major Guilty Pleasure! I could stand in one for hours and have.

I don't do that much investigating when I go looking for clothes or shoes! :lachen:

amwcah · Apr 26, 2007

Girl, yes! I just stopped through there today. I bought some Elasta QP Mango Butter, Dark & Lovely Intense Protein Conditioner, Dark & Lovely Cholestrol Conditioner, CON Conditioner(red bottle), and Pantene Pro-V Breakage Defense. Not that you asked what I bought, but I thought I would share. You know, the excitement!

MzOptimistic · Apr 26, 2007

I am sooooo mad at my BSS right now. I just left there to buy barrettes, shampoo/conditioner, processing caps, etc. I am running low on my Fantasia IC Olive Oil Serum so I grabbed one and the price said $8.99 :eek:

I'm like WTF. I asked the owner why did the price jump up and he said some crap about that is what the company said it cost

anyway I was like it was just $6.99 a couple of months ago....he had no answer. It seems like the prices went up on everything. Ladies was complaining about the prices on yaki hair, etc...If I can't find cheaper prices, I'm going to continue to buy all my hair products online :ohwell:

Sorry, to vent,just mad at that BSS

ToyToy · Apr 27, 2007

I've just been to the BSS-equivalent here in London (PAK-Store Finsbury Park)! Oh, I love that place. And the worst thing is, I've been there 3 times in two weeks! And I've bought lots all three times.
I'm always in full concentration when at the BSS, because I don't want to miss anything. Sad, eh?

GodsPromises · Apr 27, 2007

I'm heading to the "house" today. I promise that I am going to only buy a protein conditioner and maybe a couple of hair accessiores (have to have my bun looking cute

). That is all, I'm not buying anything else. Now I may walk up and down the aisle and stare at all the pretty products that they have :lachen:

Anybody else gets excited going to the BSS?
