Paul Mitchell
California · Since 1980
Cruelty-Free Since Day One
Co-founded in 1980 by hairdresser Paul Mitchell and entrepreneur John Paul DeJoria — famously on a $700 budget — Paul Mitchell was one of the first professional brands to take a permanent stand against animal testing. Four decades on, the Tea Tree range remains a salon icon worldwide.

The Paul Mitchell routine
Cleanse, Condition, Style
Build a routine around the range that suits your hair — with the Tea Tree tingle as the brand’s signature finishing touch.
Cleanse
Start with a shampoo matched to your hair — Tea Tree Special to clarify, Shampoo One to hydrate, Extra-Body for volume.
Condition
Follow with the matched conditioner or The Conditioner for lasting moisture, slip and manageability.
Style
Finish with a styler — Super Skinny Serum to smooth, Tea Tree Shaping Cream to define, Freeze & Shine to hold.
Stylist tip — Tea Tree Special Shampoo gives a deep, tingling clarifying wash; use it weekly to reset product build-up, then return to your everyday shampoo.
