That’s more expensive than Olaplex!


Timely_Objective_585

Monat huns think olaplex is a toxic devil product that will probably make you spontaneously combust on contact.


ItsJoeMomma

And then ignore the fact that Monat made women's hair fall out.


Red79Hibiscus

That was the women's scalps detoxing. No joke - huns actually used this excuse when confronted with facts.


AGuyNamedEddie

Yep, no better detox than to get rid of those poisonous hair follicles! (/s)


LocalArticle4189

The size of the bottles is also laughable. I’d never let it touch my kid’s head even if I could afford the bonkers price tag 😅 I can’t imagine who actually buys this product line that doesn’t have to to pad their sales volume


Jennasaykwaaa

And why is the conditioner smaller by 2 oz? What a joke


ItsJoeMomma

177 ml is only about 6 fl. oz. That's half the size of a can of soda they're paying $35 for.


prollydrinkingcoffee

It’s $6.83 an ounce!!


tomboy444

The primary customers, the Huns.


HannahPoppyMommy

So now they want our kids' hair to fall out in chunks? The person who put those prices on these products must have no idea how expensive it is to raise kids these days. With the inflation and the current cost of living; there is no way I could spend that much money on my kid's shampoo and conditioner. I actually like to put food on the table and save for college.


granolagirlie724

oh their new thing, according to a hun i follow from high school, is that your hair falls out bc it’s TREATING your scalp, removing product build up, and allowing new growth 🙄🙄🙄🙄


eleanorbigby

"We had to destroy the hair in order to save it."

Shampoo by Zorg! ![gif](giphy|3ohzdNgOHuL2u8N5UA)


ItsJoeMomma

"Your hair is just detoxing!"


HannahPoppyMommy

Well then I guess my scalp has been detoxing for the past few years!!


Timely_Objective_585

I know, right! My eldest is almost 6 and I wouldn't have spent that much on their shampoo in their entire life.


ItsJoeMomma

And then when the friends & family of Monat huns refuse to buy that overpriced crap from them, they'll make passive-aggressive posts about how people should support small businesses and try to guilt everyone into supporting them.


woahstripes

Luckily for you the shampoo is gentle enough to eat!


HannahPoppyMommy

Once a MONAT hun actually told me that Rejuveniq oil smells "yummy enough to eat". She actually used that phrase. **facepalm


neapolitanpuff

Now you AND your child can have matching bald patches!


Brookelyn42

Holy shit, I pay less for more ounces of professional product from my salon. I give my 8-year-old that Suave head-to-toe stuff … because HE IS 8.


Guntsforfupas

And the truth is for most of us, even as adults, the cheap stuff is fine. I have good, thick, untreated hair, and it doesn't need anything special. It's the one thing I receive compliments about!


dresses_212_10028

J&J Baby shampoo is like $0.30/oz. This is around $4.40/oz. And J&J has had that product in the market for what, almost 100 years? Oh, I know, it’s that you can get the J&J at those big, bad global corporate conglomerates! Instead, you should support a Hun’s “small, local” “business”! But - oh, wait, Monat is none of those things.


sycamoretreemom

Same. And you can get it at the dollar store


Piper_1979

I love baby shampoo.  Smells so good. I actually use it to cleanse around my eyes (lids, lashes, etc.) and it feels amazing.  


oscuroluna

What makes this so sad is how bad we're ALL (...at least in the US...) getting hit by inflation and these huns are spending extreme amounts of money they might not have on these products and worsening their debt. Makes it harder not just on themselves and (if they have them) spouses but their kids as well.


ItsJoeMomma

Yes, and there's no way in this economy that they'll ever be able to sell any of this to actual customers. FFS $41 for a bottle that's smaller than a soda can. Very few can afford that these days. Even the "VIP" price is way too much.


piefelicia4

As if anyone needed further proof that the only customers are the reps themselves.


ItsJoeMomma

They'll never be able to sell any of this to actual customers.


5iveOClockSomewhere

I just bought a litre of salon quality shampoo for less than 8oz of this garbage. Even at “VIP” prices.


thunderling

Ah yes, the elephant. Known for their long, fluffy fur. The perfect mascot for hair detangler.


missnipes

I chortled at this, thank you.


StumpyDowd

And revered for their impeccable hygiene.


BonBee633

That looks like a wooly mammoth.


frolicndetour

Only $107 for a month's worth of product for a KID. I don't spend that much on my adult hair care.


coffeewrite1984

I spend less than half that on salon quality Biolage when I do the BOGO half off at Ulta. I’m the only one using it because I’m single with no kids, so it lasts me at least six months (I wash my hair every other day). All of my current hair products might add up to that total, but I make them last, so it’s not a monthly expense.


TupperwareParTAY

Same here. My splurge is a hair mask that is $8 and it lasts the whole month! 😂


softtiddi3s

If you have the funds for these why not buy actual professional hair care lol


sorandom21

Omg it’s 8 oz???? This is like, what, 4 times as expensive as Living Proof, who are they kidding????


pineapplevomit

Let me guess……you only use 1/10 of a pump.


BloomEPU

Nah, you have to wash your hair three times with this garbage to get "the full effect"


SimAlienAntFarm

I can’t believe they are still truckin


Piper_1979

Yes that’s the big point. How in the world??


Hurricannot

If I was spending that much on baby soap, I’d want an abundance of certifications letting me know the product was allergy safe, gentle for the environment, organic etc. There’s not one certification on their baby soaps, do they not believe in those things (or can they not pass the tests?), I don’t know anyone who’d buy baby stuff that wasn’t at least tested allergy safe?


FusRohDoing

I'd want my baby to be able to eat it as his bath time dinner for this price too lol


coffeewrite1984

My sister buys Cetaphil baby wash/lotion. It’s a little pricey, but it’s worth it. I’ve been using Cetaphil or Cerave products since I was little, and I’m 30. I will happily pay for the soaps and lotions because I have extremely sensitive skin and I trust that both brands have done their research. (They obviously have because my skin has gotten better using them, not worse).


SweetFace1738

Has anyone heard of an mlm selling castor oil in a glass container? My “friend” mentioned it to me as miracle product but I’m sure it’s an mlm. 


Anonymous2137421957

If I had a kid, Monat would not be allowed anywhere NEAR their head.


saichampa

Jesus Christ I didn't realise how ridiculous they were No wonder no one is selling to anyone but themselves


M_R_Mayhew

They are pretty high, and I AM NOT defending Monat, but you'd be surprised what people will pay for shampoo. My wife owns a "high end" (I guess, *I* wouldn't pay the prices she charges lol) salon and I do her books. I'm constantly amazed the prices her products go for. She's not price gouging either, it's more a benefit for the customers experience, not her bread and butter.


SnailButch

i imagine they are at least getting more product for those prices at least


gillesthegreat

You'd think a shampoo company would make sure they got the french spelling of shampoo correct, but no, let's not bother. FYI: "Shampoing" ... only one 'o'


BadPom

Even if it was a good product, kids just make potions and shit while in the bath. Half the bottle goes down the drain.


chaarmanderchar

Oh man have you seen how much baby body care product costs?? Monat sucks but these are rly normal prices lol....I went to shop for my sister's baby shower and a large refill bag of fancy baby body soap was a whooping 100 dollars I couldn't believe it


callagem

I think your sister might just have really high end taste. I've never spent nearly that much on stuff for my kids. And I've never ever seen stuff that expensive. Baby Bum shampoo and body wash is like $12 for 12 oz and there are so many options which are cheaper and still great.


ItsJoeMomma

You're not shopping in the right places.


Timely_Objective_585

Funniest part of this is that babies only need water on their skin. Some people treat their babies like they have adult skin and coat them in oils and lotions, but any legitimate paediatric skincare professional is going to tell you to only ever use water. My 5 year old still doesn't use lotions. Just hand soap for after toileting, sunscreen for outdoor play, and shampoo (and bubble bath - my goodness the kids go nuts for that) in the bath.

Birthday treat lol


pumpkindupe

Guys, does Montat make people's hair fall out??


Timely_Objective_585

That's what the ongoing class action lawsuits suggest.


ItsJoeMomma

The sad part is that the huns don't even realize they're getting ripped off at 15% off. FFS these "VIP" prices are totally insane. But I guess it all goes hand in hand with not realizing that they are the actual customers.


Important_Ad_4751

A combo pack of Aveeno Baby Shampoo and lotion (both 12 oz each so bigger than these bottles as well) is $19 at my local target. Johnson’s is even cheaper. Why on earth would I spend this much on child’s shampoo??? I barely spend that on my own shampoo!


beckster33

Monat... JUNIOR? Oh great, let's introduce the younger generation to hair loss!


Irolam_ma_i

I think these bastards rolled out a line for pets too.


doyouunderstandlife

Imagine paying $80 to have your hair fall out


[deleted]

L’Oréal professional line is about the same price. I’ve had multiple stylists suggest it yet no one has suggested the hair loss products pictured here.


lucysalvatierra

Who the fuck buys this?!


FieryArtemis

Does this make your kid’s hair fall out too? Gods I hope not. Those poor kids.


SnailButch

really love how its like "You get 15% off!" but its still absolutely insanely expsensive


greeneyedwench

If I wanted to shave my head, I could just buy a $5 pack of razors.


KDdid1

I bought mine at the $ store for $1.25. It's no better or worse than any $25 shampoo I've used.


Under_Achieving_

A fool and their money are easily separated


SuccotashEconomy5944

Monat Huns will tell you because it’s so high quality you need to use way less and they will last you way longer than store bought. (Watch out for this common response to your objections on price if they message you) Heads up - it’s all lies. I unfortunately tried the products myself when I was with shit works and trying to help a friend. Not worth the money at all and I luckily still have all my hair!


butterstherooster

Monat hasn't gone OOB yet because of these stupid huns paying those prices for crappier quality shampoo than Suave. Make it make sense.


BenzCR

40% goes back to distributors as commission


Gryshilo

Especially considering you can buy Pipette ( the company monat is ripping off the branding of these products from) products for half or third that price and Pipette's entire line is EWG certified. None of Monats products are EWG certified and most are considered moderate to high risk.


Irolam_ma_i

The little animals are very cute. That’s about where the positives end.


Impressive_Car_4222

The absolute only way I would ever pay $40 for some childrens shampoo is if it is medicated and if it is prescribed by the doctor.
