salon-quality

Like a stylist's

Salon-quality describes hair products or treatments that supposedly match professional standards: salon-quality results at home, salon-quality shampoo.

The term appears almost exclusively in marketing, promising consumers they can achieve what a trained stylist would deliver.

Whether the products actually perform at professional levels is another matter.
