Recommending the right shampoo and conditioner combo is vital to ensure your client is looking after their hair between salon vists. Paul Mitchell duos make it easy: proven formulas, paired correctly, plus a detangler comb!

Here’s how to match each duo to the client in your chair.

Duos & Who They’re For:

• Balanced Shampoo + Conditioner Duo
  Your safe all-rounder. Ideal for clients with normal hair who just want healthy, low-maintenance results. Great for frequent washers and anyone new to professional haircare.
  Includes clear detangler comb.

• Awapuhi Shampoo + The Detangler
  For dry, stressed, or chemically treated hair that tangles if a tiny bit of wind moves it. Perfect for clients post-colour, post-bleach, or heat styling addicts.
  Includes pink detangler comb.

• Color Protect Shampoo + Conditioner
  Built for colour longevity. Shields against fading while keeping the cuticle smooth and manageable. This is your go-to retail recommendation after any colour service.
  Includes white detangler comb.

• Essential Sensitive Shampoo + Conditioner
  For reactive scalps, redness, itchiness, or clients who say “everything makes my scalp angry.” Gentle, fragrance-conscious, and calming without compromising performance.
  Includes clear detangler comb.

• Extra Body Shampoo + Conditioner
  Fine, flat, lifeless hair? This is the one. Adds lift and fullness without residue. Ideal for blow-dry clients who want visible volume that lasts past day one.
  Includes pink detangler comb.

Pro Tip:
If a client doesn’t fit into one box, don’t overthink it. Match them to the closest concern and reassess at their next appointment. Trial and error is normal, and honestly, it builds trust when you tweak recommendations based on real results.

These duos simplify conversations, add value and make your recommendations look intentional, not salesy.
