Marco Pelusi Haircare Products

February 6, 2013

I was recently contacted by a pr firm to sample and review some haircare products designed to revitalize and protect color treated hair.  Because I color my hair at home, I was anxious to try products that might improve the health and appearance of my hair.


I was sent two different products from a West Hollywood, California salon called Marco Pelusi.  The world renowned hair color expert created the Marco Collagen Color Guard Haircare System for colored and chemically treated hair.  These collagen products are the first ever specifically formulated to prevent premature color fade. 

1.  The first I received is the Anti-Frizz Leave-In Conditioner with Collagen Color Guard.  I received a nice 8 ounce bottle with a pump dispenser.  The bottle retails for $35.25.

Description from the Marco Pelusi website:

This signature product is an exclusive anti-frizz formula that repairs, restores and rebuilds, leaving the hair and scalp comforted and protected. An ultra luxurious, light and airy leave-in conditioner expressly formulated to replenish the hair’s own natural reserves to boost condition, as well as haircolor longevity, vitality and tone. Tames curly, coarse hair while allowing for easy comb-thru and a smooth, healthy appearance.
  • naturally derived from coconut, cetrimonium chloride is the most potent anti-frizz element available to moisturize and neutralize static electricity; effects last for up to 72 hours even when rinsed with water
  • usp grade vitamin e, one of the most powerful antioxidants available from nature, protects the hair from hostile environmental factors, including pollution, aging and stress
  • apricot essential oils fight dryness and cell dehydration
  • natural moisturizing factors, including sodium pca, volumize the hair


And the verdict is:

I’ve used this product for approximately 3 weeks so far.  I used it twice weekly after shampooing my hair.  I probably would have preferred a different fragrance in the product.  This had a strong scent.  However, the scent disappeared as soon as my hair was dry.  My hair was definitely frizz free and shiny after drying my hair and flat ironing.  I received many compliments on the shine in my hair, including many viewers of my YouTube videos.  The price for this product is comparable to better salon brands.


2.  The second product that I used was the Color Smooth Gloss.  I received a 2 ounce bottle.  Retail price is $25.25.

Description from the Marco Pelusi website:

Hair radiance and sheen are immediately restored with a crystal clear “liquid gold” finish
  • vitamin e usp prevents hair from premature color fade and aging
  • finest ingredients, including highest quality grade silicones, seal in color and moisture, help reduce static while detangling and offer UVA/UVB sunscreen protection.
  • water solubility prevents build up and allows haircolor to sparkle with the purest clarity
And the verdict is:
I used this product after my hair was dry and straightened.  I just put a very small amount in the palms of my hands and rubbed it through my hair.  My hair was shiny and frizz free.  It still had lots of movement and wasn’t weighed down by the product.  The price for this product is comparable with other better salon brands.  A very small amount is all that is needed therefore this bottle will last for several months.
I would recommend both of these products for shiny frizz free hair.  The products are available in travel size (good to try them out) and full size.  Visit their website for more information or to purchase products.  Use code MARCO10%OFF to receive 10% off your order.

This place provides top notch service in the most beautiful atmosphere. Trust me when I say that you NEED to try them asap. Great for all ages and groups of all sizes.

I had their basic pedicure because I was short on time. But trust me, there was nothing basic about it! I’m headed back for a manicure today.

This is their newest location in the DFW metroplex. 

Have you ever seen anything like it?😍😍
