Aveda products can be purchased at any "Aveda" salon. Most salons don't carry Aveda products since Aveda is trying to keep themselves exclusive. Although, my local Bubbles chain does carry Aveda because I think they have one "Aveda" salon in their chain.
Also, some of the shopping malls have Aveda stores.
Having said all that, please realize that these products won't produce miracles. I just think they are far superior then most other products out there. The other day I ran out of shampoo and my Sap Moss spray. I had to use Clairol Herbel Essence Shampoo and some other mousse I had lying around. Talk about a bad hair day!! Wow, I almost wanted to stay home from work. I couldn't believe how much more manageable the Aveda products made my hair. But on top of the products, I have a very good ($$$$) haircut and I have highlights which add so much body and texture. Without those, I'm not sure how much help the Aveda products would give me. So, it's not just one item that works--it's a multitude of things to get that fine hair "unfine." I always joke when I go see my hairdresser. I tell her that I've come in to "get some damage done" my hair. That's exactly what hightlights do. They rough up your hair texture so it's not so soft and smooth. Then I have her razor cut me and texuturize and it's not so "fine" anymore.
