Hi, is there a salon in Pretoria that sells Paul Mitchell products? I'm looking for the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Shaping cream.
Hi, is there a salon near or around Fourways that uses Paul Mitchell products, hair colour also? thank you :)
Is Paul Mitchell products safe enough to use for my 1 year old grand daughter? Vegan SA: Hi Jean - we are not familiar with the whole Paul Mitchell range and its suitability for young children. We think you'd be best to approach one of the retail outlets in South Africa with the question - usually high quality hair stylists. Good luck.
