Reviews

So far so good

"My order was delivered promptly and I received the correct item. I am very happy that the pomade has no strong chemical smells. Most salon products are too strong for me. I’m having fun experimenting with different looks for my short hair!"

Julie S. (5/5)

Love it!

"I used a product for many years that must have sold to a new company. They changed the formula and it was horrible. I have searching for something the same or better for several years and I finally found it with Barb! Thank you! I will definitely keep purchasing. 😊"

Janis M. (5/5)

The smell

"Seems to work pretty well on dry hair, however the smell is very off putting. I'm annoyed I didn't get the unscented version. I'll stick it out but I have to hold my breath when I use it."

Chrisula T. (3/5)

"I love this product. I use it in my haor every day and it makes it so easy to style and go"

Cheryl (5/5)

Great Product!

"Long time user. Perfect product for me. Control without the stiffness! A small amount does the trick!"

Michele W. (5/5)

I lost it

"Love Barb and I’m about to older another one but I accidentally tossed it out with a bunch of delivery boxes!"

Robbie B. (5/5)

Great

"I have fine spiked hair and after trial and error Barb works best if I use it on damp hair and dry my hair right away."

Ann R. (5/5)

Could be better

"The pricing and shipping is kind of a lot for the amount you get. It seems that this new packaging includes a smaller container than previous."

Jessalyn C. (3/5)

"Love this product"

Lori (5/5)

"Good hold… Light and doesn’t weigh my thin hair down"
