#7- I was told that Coppola's Keratin Complex is the only truly semi-permanent straightening system

After attending the Oct.26th, 2009 Coppola Keratin Complex class at UnTangled Salon, we realized why stylists are telling potential clients that all other Keratin Treatment's(SP-S) are permanent, except the Coppola.(We attended the class only because we were told the new clear formula would be demonstrated...which it wasn't. Very disappointing.)
During the class, the instructor actually said that all other forms of  SP-S go permanently straight, except the Coppola. I asked how she came up with that idea, and she said that's what she was taught. This same trainer said that she has trained everyone currently using the Coppola Keratin Complex here in Portland, Oregon, aside from a small window of time. This means that most stylists here will have incorrect information.
Here is the real trouble. Any stylist or client who has NOT done research might actually believe something like,"all other SP-S systems are permanent." Eventually, they will realize their error in thinking, but for stylists, it might be too late. Because of the internet, clients today can be very informed and will loose trust in a stylist who turns out to be incorrect. Unfortunately, we've gotten several clients who intended to go to other salons, but when they talked with the stylist performing the procedure, they realized the stylist knew less about the world of SP-S than they did.
So, if you're a stylist that has ONLY had training or experience in the Coppola Keratin Complex, or you've only been trained by 1 brand, you're in need of more education. It is foolish to automatically believe everything that is told to you by a person selling you a product. Especially when that person has had no experience with other brands and knows nothing outside the training given to them by the company they work for. I have a hard time believing this is still possible in a world with so much access information.
