having bought salon products from Target, Walgreens, Walmart, as well as from salons, in my experience they were the same . Like astronaut said, there isn't a big price difference either so it's not like it's more convenient to get them from a non-salon If anything, I find I get better deals from salons because they often have 2 huge bottles for $25 or something.

I think what really matters is where you buy them from. Ulta, target, wherever is most likely the genuine product. It's when you see Biolage at the flea market or dollar tree that I'd be concerned, lol.
