The Brazilian Blowout website states that it does not distribute their product to any online retailers. Does anyone know if these are authentic?

That's a great question, and one that I've wondered many times. It may or may not be the real stuff, but I do believe it's the same ingredients (like buying the generic of a brand-name of any product at the grocery store), and it has worked just as well for my hair, from what I can tell. If you find anything further (whether with research or by experimenting), please update!

I think that they are. I have used them for awhile, from BBO and others that sell their products and they all work the same (fantastic!).

I have the same opinion of other buyers. If it is a copy or not, bottomline I have achieved excellent results using these products. No regrets!!!

Yes it is authentic. I have used it for almost three months and my hair feels so much better.

Starbucks retail stores do sell these, and it looks the same, so if it's a knockoff it's a good one. However, Starbucks sells them for $1 and I found this out after paying 7. They're also not insulated in the slightest and are thin plastic. If you want to be certain it's authentic I recommend physically going to Starbucks but I've only seen them in about half the stores I've been in.

I ordered one and it was not authentic. I called Amazon customer support and explained the problem. They said they "do not tolerate merchants selling knock offs" and sent me a new one overnight (and said that I should send back the first one). They said they would call to check if the replacement was authentic. The replacement arrived and it too was not authentic, so I ended up returning that one as well. I echo the "buyer beware." I don't care if this one is $100.00, if I'm going to pay $150+ for a hair dryer, it better be the real deal. I'm going elsewhere.

I just got these from International Coffee & Books and nope, not authentic. In fact, my package contained two DIFFERENT sponges. Different shades of blacks, different textures, different densities.

NO!! They are cheap Chinese knock-offs & not even in the plastic/poly bag. This applies to ones sold by Allegheny Surplus Outlet Inc. Tried to resolve this with them to no avail. I would have to eat shipping both ways.....

A couple days ago (August 2014) Amazon seems to have restricted this listing to just the genuine Bose pads. Before they did, I bought mine from Accessoriesplus on this page. They were $5 cheaper and didn't charge sales tax. I'm 80% sure they were authentic. If you buy the ones that are fullfilled directly from Bose, then you can be 100% certain that they are legit, but you'll pay more for them. The other thing you could consider is buying one of the $7 or $8 pairs of obvious knockoffs. Then you'll have no doubt about their authenticity. I haven't gone that route yet, but plan to next time.

GrandeLash is amazing. I would recommend you purchase through their website so you know you're getting the real deal and not a knockoff.

they are not fake. I've purchased from a doctor and Amazon and I notice no difference except the price.

Don't risk it - and if you do only order from a seller that is "fulfilled by Amazon" (so you can return it, because you will probably need to). I received bottles that looked like the real ones (but it did NOT come in the packaging that the official duo comes in), but when I compared the scent of this to an authentic bottle it was very apparent that this it was not the real PM product. And with the volume of reviews that indicate others have had the same problem, I think it is best to stick with official Paul Mitchell suppliers (which you can find on their website - the price isn't that much more than the ones on here).

Well, I don't think so, I love mine, and it appears to be authentic. I have had two, both similar models. The Only reason I brought a second one is because I dropped my first one, too many times and broke the vent screen on the back after having it for 6 years. Otherwise I love them. I love the options of heat and speed as well as the diffuser, whcih I use daily. (I have very curyly hair)

I do not believe they are. The bag I just received says distributed by a company in NJ, but in another spot on the bag it says "a product of Brazil or Paraguay".

I bought a pair that were fake on this site, the user refunded the money but never sent me an address to send them back. Buyer beware on some of these and I recommend buying them from the Amazon fullfillment center.

Maybe you got a knock-off. I don't know why it came in a clear container, mine came as pictured. I would contact seller and asked why, and I'd ask as for a replacement. Did it work? Did you try it? Sometimes packageing runs out; so they were probably doing what they could to get it to you. If its the same company, they are good as far as i know. ive used their product several time. but not sure. Mahalo. Happy Grow Lucky!

Why are you asking it? I think they don't sell fake products or people will negative the seller.

When I recieved mine, they were authentic. You'll also notice the amazon seller is Ateco and not a third party vendor.

No I ordered this item from "Blowout Stockhouse" and I got a bootleg item. Be wary
