Basically word of mouth.....
The Vendor forum is full of individual threads for the various vendors.
Also, this thread is useful in finding new vendors and products.

Reviews of their various products are included in the threads in addition to customer service, shipping times, etc.

I picked up a pkg from hattache.com 12/31/13 (USPS.) A glass jar had broken/spillage everywhere. Sent them an email with 2 pictures. I got a shipping notice New Year's Day. Replacement product received 2 days later. No fuss; no muss!!!
during her Cyber Monday sale, I had not ordered from her for a couple of years. The butter is the only thing from her line of products that works for my hair. But I won't die if I can't get it. Probably will only order it during a very good sale.
@PJaye
Thank you for the info about beautyofnewyork. I did not know they were an Asian BSS. Although I have not ordered from them in years, this let's me know never to order from them!

They lost me then, too. This presented an opportunity to try other vendors and I found out Qhemet was not the best for my hair and wasn't doing it any good. Before ordering the Aethiopika Hydrate & Twist Butter
during her Cyber Monday sale, I had not ordered from her for a couple of years. The butter is the only thing from her line of products that works for my hair. But I won't die if I can't get it. Probably will only order it during a very good sale.

Poor HH. I was looking at my HH containers last night. I will use up my cloud and other jar items. I enjoyed her items. I only wished that they had come in bigger containers. Too bad......

HH will be fine. There are still members who will patronize and haul hard from her. I have no sympathy for HH.

Soultanicals * ordered one bundle on black Friday but it arrived in due time. However her shipping needs to improve drastically in order for me to order directly from her ( I'm in NJ, shes in NY). She should have local pick up. I can take a train and get my stuff in the amount of time it takes to ship to me

Bringing in: Qhemet, HairVeda, and Shescentit
Leaving out: No one.
I don't order too much from online folks any more b/c I don't live in a doorman building, so it can be annoying to get my packages. Also, the local beauty supply carries Qhemet and Oyin and Karen's Body Beautiful, so if the desire hits to try more small business products, I just walk over there.
When I started the hair care journey, I was always ordering, but honestly, now, I really need to like your product to buy from you online. The S&H definitely adds up. For a minute I stopped with HairVeda, b/c I was over shopping for products online, but I liked her products so much that I started ordering from them again. I'm trying Shescentit for the first time and I really like the products, so I'll probably re-order from her as well.

Y’all are tryna make me look like the hair product Grinch.
My only issues with Claudie are:
- Partial ingredient lists for products on the website
- Ridiculously high shipping rates
- Sickeningly strong scent used in the products
I tried 5 of her products and only 2 gave mediocre results, the rest sucked. Very nice lady, but I have to let her go.

BranwenRosewood,
Nothing is wrong with the vendor, I'm just going to use up the products I have and not order from them this year.
(this vendor is not "dead" to me like Hairitage Hydrations - they may go back in the rotation for next year) Soultanicals may get a reboot too, but Hairitage --- nooooooo

Lotioncrafters
New Directions Aromatics

Specialty Bottle
Mountain Rose Herbs
Various other suppliers
Leaving Behind:
Everybody Else
I know how to make my own hair and skincare products so I'm going to leave these vendors and their drama alone. Not everyone I ordered from had issues but I don't feel the need to order from anyone else since I was only buying butters anyway.

BranwenRosewood I have been thinking about making my own products too. I plan to start experimenting when I use up my stash.

Lollll, no not at all. I was just curious to know. I only have 2 staples from her: renew protein and normalizing DC. I do have an issue with her ingredient listing too, but I have yet to find a porosity corrector, and a protein treatment my hair responds to. As recommended by IDareT'sHair I get everything unscented.ronie Y’all are tryna make me look like the hair product Grinch.
You have excellent points, and I agree with you letting her go.
I had totally not given them any thought until reading this thread.
