Why we rate it

Essential Shampoo and Conditioner are part of Paul Mitchell's Clear collection, made for people with sensitive skin and scalps. The shampoo has just eight ingredients and the conditioner nine, and both are fragrance-free and dye-free. The shampoo gives a rich, clean-feeling lather and is sulphate-free; the conditioner leaves hair light, soft and manageable and helps control frizz, and may lather slightly as you work it in, which is normal. Both are colour-safe and suit every hair type, and they're a sensible choice for anyone who prefers products without fragrance.

  • In the set: Essential Shampoo and Essential Conditioner in matching sizes — choose 75 ml or 300 ml pairs above
  • Fragrance-free and dye-free shampoo and conditioner
  • Minimal formulas: eight and nine ingredients
  • Made for sensitive skin and scalps
  • Both colour-safe and gentle on every hair type

What’s in the set

Stylist’s tip

Use them as a pair: shampoo focused on the scalp, then conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends, where hair needs it most. Squeeze out the excess water before conditioning so it isn’t diluted.

From the stylists at The Color, Bridlington Paul Mitchell Signature Salon since 2006

Questions about this duo

What’s included in this duo?

Two Paul Mitchell products, put together by our salon team to use as a pair. Both are listed under What’s in the set on this page, and each one links to its own product page.

Are both products the same size?

In most of our duos, yes: the size you choose applies to both bottles, so a 300 ml duo is two 300 ml bottles. A few duos pair different sizes or formats, for example a hand soap with a body bar. Where we list an item’s size, you’ll find it next to the item under What’s in the set. If a size isn’t shown and it matters to you, call or visit our Bridlington salon and we’ll check for you before you order.

Are Paul Mitchell duo products genuine and authorised?

Yes. The Color is an authorised Paul Mitchell Signature Salon. Every product we sell is 100% genuine, sourced directly from Paul Mitchell UK. We never sell grey market or counterfeit products.

Is free delivery available on duo bundles?

Free standard UK delivery applies to all orders over £30 — most duo bundles clear that on their own. Orders placed before 2pm (Mon–Fri) are dispatched the same day and typically arrive within 1–3 working days.
