Great brush!!!
ladyboarder9669 (186 reviews)

This brush is very expensive but so worth it! I kept reading reviews on it and have talked to people about it and everyone LOVES this brush. One acquaintance told me she has had hers for 20 years! I finally broke down and bought it and am so pleasantly surprised! My hair looks healthier, not as greasy when I go a couple days without washing, and it has really cut down on my frizz. I would highly recommend this brush! — 1 year, 3 months ago

Great Brush!
RoleModel (100 reviews)

I've had this brush for several years and it is very expensive but worth the investment! It distributes your hairs natural oils leaving it soft, smooth and shiny. It comes with instructions on how to take care of it. Do not use it when heat styling or it will damage the brush!! — 1 week, 5 days ago

Fantastic
EireItalia (271 reviews)

I am so glad I bought this brush. I have had it for about 7 years now and it is still good as new. My hair is thick but fine. Glides easily through my hair without snagging, pulling or breaking. When cared for as directed this brush will last indefinitely. — 4 years ago

A must have hair brush
SophieT (19 reviews)

This is a must have for all women! It leaves your hair so smooth and healthy. The bristles transfer the oils from your scalp all the way through to your ends which leaves your hair naturally nourished. I know its pricey, but its an investment for a long time. And if you maintain the brush and keep it clean, it will last forever! — 1 month, 3 weeks ago

Worth the money
david321 (3 reviews)

This brush is very expensive, but after using it for a month or so I have to say I really like it. My hair is fairly wavy, but had no issues with it going through my hair. — 2 months, 2 weeks ago

Shine From A Brush?
shandimessmer (91 reviews)

These bristles must be made from fairy dust or something. This is seriously one of the best brushes I have ever used in my life. Totally worth the price tag, just trust. — 3 months, 2 weeks ago

Amazing hairbrush
PPolished (57 reviews)

Okay, so I was extremely skeptical about buying this brush because of the steep price tag but finally splurged and bought it on the recommendation of my hair dresser. I'm soo glad I ended up making the jump because I will never go back to a regular brush after using this. I have long, thick, wavy hair that can be hard to manage at times. The brush actually massages your scalp and even helps get tangles out. I used to use a ton of product in my wavy hair to make it look shiny and controlled (slash frizz-free, bleh) but this brush actually made my hair softer AND shinier without it looking greasy and gross. I found out after I bought the product that each brush is hand made and the company has been around since the 1800s. So if you're looking for a high-quality brush that's going to last you a LONG time, definitely give this a try. The only real downside is the price. It's definitely hefty, but for the quality of the brush and for the fact that you'll (hopefully) never have to buy a brush for a very long time, it could really even out in the long-run. I shopped around for it for quite some time before I ended up getting it and found a bunch of different sizes from eBeauty (the Canadian beauty site). Some were obviously cheaper than others but I chose the one that cost around $160 since it seemed to be the best size for my huge hair. I'd definitely recommend going this route because it shipped for free right to my door, which meant I didn't have to go back and hunt it down in a local salon. — 8 months ago

Popular Brush is the best beauty investment I ever made.
greentea_00 (1 reviews)

This hairbrush is the single best beauty investment I ever made. At the time I bought it, I thought..."I must be crazy to spend this much on a hairbrush"! But, 10 years later, it is still as good as new. It shines and smooths your hair with ever stroak, but is gentle. Just make sure you follow the care instructions enclosed with the brush and do not soak in water. — 2 years, 8 months ago

Great Brush
carolbee68 (5 reviews)

My favorite brush!! I have found it works wonders on both straight and curly hair (I have daughters, one with each type). It doesn't pull or tear hair but at the same time is so effective. Love it!! — 2 years, 9 months ago

pop star
rohnertpanda (73 reviews)

I've used Mason Pearson brushes since I was in high school courtesy of my Mom. In college I lost my brush and got a similar looking brush that wasn't Mason Pearson. What a difference!!!! I have very, very, very long hair that ALWAYS tangles. And, while my hair is thin there's alot of it so it can be extremely hard to get a brush through it. This is my favorite Mason Pearson brush for my type hair. It breezes through the tangles and leaves my hair perfect no matter how I'm styling it. These brushes (if cared for according to their directions) last just about forever. So it's a wonderful value for the price. My Mom also uses this same style Mason Pearson brush and she has short, thick hair. She loves hers as well. As a note, I have a few different styles of Mason Pearson brushes: the pocket size and the "detangler" ( which is just nylon bristles). Both these styles work well also. But for my hair type the pocket brush is too small and takes forever to get through my mane and the plain nylon bristles just don't seem to work as well. I don't know why. The Popular Bristle and Nylon Brush is hands down MY favorite. But it might depend on hair type. So, if this style doesn't work the best for you .... don't give up on Mason Pearson. Another style might just suit you better. I know the price tag is scary.... but seriously these brushes last years upon years and you really don't need another brush in your arsenal. they're very easy to care for and even come with their own cleaning brush. I give this brush an honorary 11! — 2 years, 5 months ago
