Does anyone work with other local salons to form a sort of buyers group in an attempt to get better prices from vendors?

We have two distubutors near us and I'm thinking if our salon along with a few others got together and formed something like a buyers group we could approach them in hopes of getting a better discount.

All salons involved would buy most, if not all from one or both distributors. More volume usually equals better pricing...
