In my October Birchbox, was a pair of Jeff Chastain Parlor products; Parlor Moisturizing & Repairing Shampoo and Conditioner.
I’ve received Parlor products in Birchbox in the past, and I’m usually a fan. Most recently, I had a sea salt spray from the line, and loved it.
This shampoo and conditioner are rather expensive. Be prepared to pay $22.00 USD for 8 Fl oz of product. You can buy it through Birchbox. Here is what they say about it:
BIRCHBOX BREAKDOWN
This gently cleansing shampoo from NYC stylist Jeff Chastain is a triple-threat of fortification, hydration, and repair. Infused with the brand’s signature scent of ripe peach, fresh cut grass, and white woods, it’s sulfate-free, paraben-free, gluten-free, and color-safe.
My thoughts
So, just a shampoo. It was nice. It smelled nice. It lathered nice. It was…well…nice. But it did exactly what it was supposed to do – clean my hair. And it did that. It didn’t wow me with anything.
Same goes for the conditioner.
One thing to note – it was gentle on my color treated hair.
However, I didn’t find it to be any more or less moisturizing than any other high end shampoo.
Would I buy it?
Not for $22. Sorry, Parlor!
Have you tried the Parlor Moisturizing & Repairing Shampoo and Conditioner? Do you like it?

Great post! I have a hard time spending a lot of money on shampoo and conditioner. I’ve really been happy with Tresemme’ and Pantene lately. I’m constantly switching out my hair care regime. I have naturally curly fine hair. Menopause is killing my hair, so I’m always looking for the next best thing.
I know what you mean. If I’m gonna spend some cash, it needs to wow me!
The cheaper brands have come so far. I can’t remember the last time I bought salon shampoo and conditioner. I do love Perfect Hair Day Dry shampoo. A bit pricey, but well worth it. Do you have a favorite dry shampoo?
Yup! It’s Perfect Hair Day! I think their products are worth the price. For salon brands, TJmaxx or Marshalls are a good place.
Have you tried the new Full Dry volume blast from PHD? It was dreadful! I took it back the next day. Here’s a review I did. https://cornfedcontessa.com/2016/09/03/living-proof-full-dry-volume-blast/
No! Going to read now
Thanks!
