Reviews

I've tried sea salt sprays

"I've tried sea salt sprays in the past, but never found one that felt worthwhile to incorporate into my routine. The Blind Barber Sea Salt Spray changed that for me, providing a quality tactile feel, great spray coverage for integration, and the same amazing signature scent. Use it as a base when my hair gets longer and it adds a noticeable feel and texture that lasts."

— Mick R. (5/5)

New formula makes it difficult to wash out

"Have been using this product for years and it was excellent. However, I just bought a new container and it’s extremely difficult to wash out of my hair. I’ve shampooed many times and can still feel a sticky texture in my hair. The ingredients on my new container are different from the old container, so their new formula is likely to blame."

— Daniel (1/5)

Changed the formula

"Agree with others, after years of using they changed the formula. It’s harder to wash out, but also feels way lighter and watery like it’s not doing the job either. Looking for a new alternative now"

— Garrett (1/5)

It changed

"I thought I had a bad batch but seeing reviews, I’m not the only one. Much more “stringy” and requires more product to get same results as the previous version."

— Eric (4/5)

Great Product!

"Great Product!"

— Leo C. (5/5)

Doesn’t require as much product

"Doesn’t require as much product for desired outcome. The end result is not greasy and feels more natural than other products I’ve tried. Shipping did take a bit longer than expected, and bottles seem less generous than similar products, but I’m hoping that less required product lengthens the lifespan of each bottle."

— Kendall G. (5/5)

Half Frozen but still worth using

"My favorite go-to hair product from Blind Barber as have used it for a couple of years. It provides great shine with quality ingredients and I love the look and smell. Unfortunately my last shipment was frozen. I think it impacted the product as the texture seems very different as it was likely frozen as thawed multiple times in transit, but I'll still use it because It still smells great and even half froze It's still better than anything else out there on the market."

— Bradley B. (5/5)

Gives my hair a great

"Gives my hair a great textured, fresh tussled look"

— Varun A. (5/5)

Used to be great

"I've been using this stuff for years. It WAS great, but something in the formula definitely changed, and it is now almost impossible to wash out. Buyer beware."

— KJ (1/5)

Hard To Wash Out

"Love this stuff, but they must’ve changed formula! Very fibrous and stringy when getting out of container, and can’t wash it out! Never had a problem with my last purchase!!"

— Greg S. (3/5)

Q&A

Is this a gel-type pomade or a paste?: Hey, The 90 proof is a paste format while the 101 proof is more of a gel consistency. Hope that helps!
What is the shelf life of your pomade?: Hey! We typically recommend using within 12 months of the manufacturing date.
Are your product sold on amazon by 3rd party sellers authentic?: Unfortunately not all of them. We have been trying to shut down a few of them but the process is difficult. That said, we sell the product on Amazon from our own dedicated storefront so please feel free to check out the goods there!
