I would go so far as to say that is the BIGGEST difference in the way a product behaves and less to do with application or anything else. If it's really the exact same product and just isn't working as well at home I'd ring up the salon and ask if they soften their water.

I'll never know for sure, as her blow dryer costs $300. I sometimes wonder if it’s the blow dryer my stylist uses. I’ll never know for sure, as her blow dryer costs $300.

If the salon has softer water than you do at home, it will make your hair feel smoother and silkier. I would add that the softness or hardness of the water can make a big difference.
