Paul Mitchell Professional Color Apron

Founded in 1980 by hairdresser Paul Mitchell and entrepreneur John Paul DeJoria with just $700 between them, Paul Mitchell has grown into one of the most recognisable professional haircare brands in the world. Today the range spans shampoos, conditioners, treatments, styling products, a full salon colour system, and the Neuro Tools heat range, all used by stylists across more than 90 countries. At Revive Hair Artists in Codsall, it's a brand we've trusted behind the chair for years.

Who makes Paul Mitchell?

Paul Mitchell is the flagship brand of John Paul Mitchell Systems, the American company the two founders set up in 1980. Despite its global reach, the business has stayed independent and family-run for over four decades, which is unusual at this scale and a big part of why the brand has held onto such a consistent professional identity.

What is Paul Mitchell known for?

A handful of hero ranges have defined the brand for stylists and clients alike:

• Tea Tree, the refreshing range built around tea tree oil, peppermint, and lavender mint, famous for its tingling scalp feel and its standout body bars, shampoos, and shaving products
• Awapuhi Wild Ginger, the rich, sulphate-free range named after Hawaii's wild ginger flower and designed to restore damaged, dry, and colour-treated hair
• Clean Beauty, the newer sulphate-free, vegan range with refillable bottles for shoppers who care about ingredients and packaging
• Color XG and The Demi, the professional permanent and demi-permanent colour systems used in salons up and down the UK
• Mitch, the men's grooming and styling line covering matte clays, flexible holds, and barbershop staples
• Neuro Tools, the salon-grade heat tool collection of dryers, irons, and brushes built for daily professional use

Is Paul Mitchell cruelty-free? Is it vegan?

Paul Mitchell was the first professional haircare company to take a public stand against animal testing back in the 1980s, and the brand has never tested its products on animals. A growing share of the range is also vegan, including most of the Clean Beauty and Awapuhi Wild Ginger lines. Where individual products are vegan, we flag this clearly on the product page so you can shop with confidence.

Is Paul Mitchell sulphate-free?

Several of Paul Mitchell's most popular ranges are sulphate-free, including Awapuhi Wild Ginger, Clean Beauty, and Bond RX. These are the right pick if your hair is colour-treated, chemically processed, or simply feels happier on a gentler cleanse. Classic ranges like Tea Tree Special, Shampoo One, and the original Daily Shampoo use traditional cleansers and remain salon favourites for everyday use.

Where can I buy Paul Mitchell in the UK?

Paul Mitchell is a salon-only brand in the UK, distributed through Sweet Squared. That means you won't find genuine Paul Mitchell on supermarket shelves, and any heavily discounted listings on grey-market sites are worth approaching with caution. Buying from a working professional salon like Revive Hair Artists in Codsall means authentic stock, supplied through the proper trade channel, and sold by the same team that uses it on clients every day.
