Dollar Tree’s viral $1.25 hair product is flying off shelves – it’s identical to Sephora’s but $35 cheaper
CONSUMERS have flocked to one discount retailer for a hair product that works the same as other high-end competitors.
Dollar Tree’s viral root touch-up spray costs $35 less than a similar product at Sephora.
One shopper posted an Instagram featuring the Dollar Tree product which instantly received positive feedback from many consumers.
The root touch-up spray comes in black, brunette, and blonde.
Some social media users have already found the product at their local Dollar Tree.
“I just bought it in black, works great,” commented one social media user.
“I usually buy the L’Oréal root spray for 12.00 and this is very comparable!!!”
“I hope I find this,” said another.
After purchasing the product, some consumers said the hair spray had an off-putting smell which could signal that the brand is of a lower quality than its rival Sephora.
Still, many shoppers said the price point is worth some quality issues.
Sephora offers Oribe’s Airbrush Root Touch-Up Spray which sells for $36.
On Sephora’s website, the product has been “hearted” by over 4,000 shoppers and has received an average 3-star rating.
DOLLAR DUPES
Dollar Tree shoppers revealed that the discount store offers several incredible dupes that consumers can buy at the retailer for much less than the original.
While browsing the beauty section of the store, one shopper came across a bottle of hand soap priced at only $1.25.
Similar products at rival brands like Bath & Body Works were 6 times more expensive than the Dollar Tree version.
“The soaps are definitely giving Bath & Body Works vibes!” she wrote in the caption to her TikTok video.
At least 1,000 dollar stores to close, CEO says
Dollar Tree, the parent company of Family Dollar, revealed it would close around 1,000 stores in the coming years.
The company announced in March that it will shutter the stores after the discount retailer it acquired nearly a decade ago plummeted in value.
Dollar Tree plans to close about 600 Family Dollar stores in the first half of this year.
This will be followed by the shuttering of 370 Family Dollar and 30 Dollar Tree stores over the next several years.
The chain of discount variety stores has also indicated that sales are being affected by the cost-of-living crisis and inflation.
But USA Today added that Dollar Tree has also been rocked by reduced government benefits for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
This has left families struggling to juggle finances, with as much as $250 less per month.
The scents at Dollar Tree include Vanilla, Almond, & Sugar, Coconut Coast, and Fresh Blooms.
Viewers flocked to the comments to hail the inexpensive finds.
