Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Based on the Amazon reviews, I decided to try this Paul Mitchell shampoo. It was pretty decent shampoo and I liked the tingle. I had used about 1/3 of the bottle when I saw the same shampoo on sale at a salon. It was a good price so I got another bottle. It looked like the same stuff (same bottle, same shampoo color & consistency) but what made me suspicious was the difference in smell. The primary scent of the shampoo from Amazon is tea tree oil (sort of similar to Pine-Sol). The primary scent of the stuff from the salon is peppermint with a background tea tree oil scent (a much nicer smell overall). Then I used the salon stuff to wash my hair. Wow, what a difference. The salon stuff had a better tingle, it created a much thicker lather, rinsed cleaner, and left my hair with more body. Over the next four days, I tested my theory by washing my hair with the Amazon-bought shampoo one day and the salon-bought shampoo the next day. RESULT: The salon shampoo was FAR superior and I am certain I have been had. I give the counterfeit shampoo two stars because it wasn't bad, but the real Paul Mitchell shampoo is so much better and I paid for the good stuff. I love Amazon, but they need to get to the bottom of this. I am willing to donate some of my fake Paul Mitchell shampoo for testing. Just send me an email.
