Funding & Transparency

We believe transparency is the foundation of trust. So here is an open account of how HairLuxe is funded.

How affiliate works
01

You read a test report

We recommend a product based on our 7-step process.

02

You click an affiliate link

Every article containing commission links carries a notice directly above the text. You pay the same price as you would buying direct from the retailer.

03

We earn a small commission

From the retailer, not from you. That commission pays for our research and our own product tests.

HairLuxe is funded by affiliate links. When you buy through one of our links, we may earn a small commission. You pay nothing extra.

Through the Amazon Associates program, for example: the price is identical whether you buy through our link or straight from the retailer. That income pays for our research, our own product tests and the ongoing development of this site.

We accept no paid product placements and no third-party sponsored content. Where we hold a stake in a brand we cover, we say so on the article — see below.

Articles containing commission links carry a notice directly above the text, plus the disclosure note in the footer of every page.

Editorial Independence

Rankings are based solely on our 7-step research process.

No manufacturer can buy a placement—directly or indirectly.

We recommend products that have no affiliate program at all.

The order reflects test results, not commission rates.

Every affiliate link is clearly marked.

Every article containing commission links carries a notice directly above the text. The footer of every page carries the matching disclosure line 'As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases'.
No. The price is identical for you whether you buy through our link or directly from the retailer. The commission is paid by the retailer, never by the buyer.
