I was going to say that the only company still truly pro only is Tammy Taylor. Zoya constantly does BOGOs & promos for customers that make it more expensive to get at the salon. I have also seen Zoya @Ulta. But Ulta has a salon in store but they run big sales too. The boutique brands (Rescue Beauty Lounge, Ginger + Liz) sell to the public but at least those are harder to get (not in drugstore/Walmart). G+L offers a pro discount. RBL does not.
