I feel your pain. When we set up shop we were working with a distributor that almost screwed us. We didn't know that you can get a discount on products. Lets just say that he was ready to charge us full salon price. I asked him if I was getting the best possible deal and he said yes. We had formed a relationship with a salon in the next town over and they really helped us get started and pointed us to a good distributor.
