Products are good, but customer service shocking . On their site they promise full size free product with every order well they don’t send anything even though I ticked it. Misleading advertising and their customer service makes all these excuses
Purchased the airstyler last year and loved it , I used it all the time. The downside is ,it broke in less than a year . The materials used to make it are cheap so I’m not surprised it broke so quickly . It’s a shame because I really liked the airstyler

Poor quality castor oil. Didn’t work as claimed. Soft as a puppy’s ear no way, unless you mean a wire haired terrier – Contains castor oil as the main ingredient. Not a nice oil. Heavy in the hair. Smell is not pretty. Bad results. Would not buy again.
WORST CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE! REALLY NOT WORTH IT! – They rip people off and take advantage! Black friday sale 25/11 pm email spend $150 get free product 3 days later same black friday sale 28/11 am email anyone who purchases anything gets a free product! So many people would have spent additional money between 25/11-27/11 to get a free product only to be taken advantage of. My order wasnt even… Read more
completed and sent by then I emailed them to see if I can the free product and they said no as my order was on 25/11 but they didnt want to hear how unfair that was. Top of that again my order hasnt arrived and already asking feedback on the product that hadnt even been done yet not mention my package is missing! This is all wrong and wont be shopping online with them again!

Horrific customer service and zero transparency – I ordered a number of products on Easter Monday and after reading through their shopping policy/dispatch times (1-2 business days), I decided to opt for express shipping. When my order showed no tracking updates after 4 business days, I sent an email query asking for for an update on shipping times as there had been no indication of… Read more
shipping/dispatch delays when I placed my order. They indicated it could be up to another week before my order shipped - which would make dispatch time 2 weeks from the date my order was placed! Thankfully my order shipped 2 days later. All in all, dispatch time was 6 business days. However the real issues started when my products arrived - I noticed that my procapil tonic had been swapped for “UK stock” on the packing slip, the barcode number on my intensive spray didn’t match that listed on the packing slip and that ingredients listed on the back of my procapil tonic and intensive spray didn’t match those on either the AU or UK websites. I attempted to follow up with an email to customer service, and to request a refund of my express shipping fee - but my queries were ignored and refund refused as the “shipping timeframe start from when your order ships, not from when the order is placed”. It wasn’t until I commented on their Instagram and tiktok, made a few tiktok videos with screenshots of my correspondence/ ingredient discrepancies (@dopaminemachinebroken) and tweeted the same screenshots that I got my shipping fee refunded - but still no explanation regarding the ingredients. I’m so disappointed, I really wanted to support an Australian company- but I inadvertently discovered they were recently acquired by an American private equity firm - which they haven’t made very public either! I won’t be reordering from them, despite somewhat liking the scalp wash and shampoo/conditioner.
Amazing and Quick Results – I lost a lot of my hair as a side effect of Covid. It fell out a few months after I recovered from covid and I was in a panic. After some research I purchased the Thinning Therapy System and saw results almost immediately. I started losing less and less in the shower and took a picture of the top of my scalp a little over a month apart and could… Read more
not believe the difference. My hairstylist was in awe seeing me today and the difference in my hair (she saw me right before the first picture was taken). I highly recommend this line!!
Top picture- taken the second week of November and the bottom picture was taken December 19th.
They don't have any stock! – I ordered my product 4 weeks ago, poor communication. Item is not instock as they describe and tell you. Was then told item had arrived and would be distributed. Still nothing. Wont return emails. Won't send remaining items from order. Don't buy from Bondi boost. Buy from another brand, I highly doubt you will recieve the product. Happy to… Read more
purchase any product I am aware is a pre order........ Still a month later they are advertising it the same.
Below email sent.
Many thanks for your patience regarding your recent pre-order for the Blowout Brush. From the bottom of our hearts, we're really sorry for the delay. We're usually super quick and accurate with pre-ordered stock timelines, but due to the global shipping issue outside of our control, we are experiencing some heavy delays!
The good news is that the stock has arrived at the port but due to the delays as reported here and after multiple back and forth emails to our shipping brokers, we have now confirmed that your Blowout Brush will arrive at our warehouse in 7-10 days time. Once the stock is receipted into our warehouse, our team will pack and ship out your order in full as a high priority.
If you prefer to cancel your order, let us know and I will action right away for you.
Again, I'm really sorry for the delay and inconvenience caused. We hope that the global issues are resolved asap and that shipping times return to normal as soon as possible.
Kind regards,

Amazing Customer Service – I ordered a long infrared thermal bounce brush. The wrong product came and I was really disappointed. I emailed customer service - and it was one of the best experiences I have had. They quickly rectified the situation and were extremely understanding and responsive. Would Highly suggest them
Curl Boss rules! – After almost 20 years of not wearing my hair curly, curl boss is bringing my curls back! It’s perfect for mine and my daughters curly hair!! Love this product and totally get what all the fuss is about.
Perfect Customer Service – I got in contact with this company in regards to an incorrect phone number issue I was having with one of their customers mistakenly using my number for their purchases. Not only did Melissa from Bondi Boost respond immediately, she went out of her way to help rectify the situation straight away. She was extremely responsive to my emails, very… Read more
pleasant and easy to talk with. I haven't bought from Bondi Boost before but had been considering buying their products for a long time. I will now be giving their shampoo/conditioner a go, along with their blow-out brush which I've had my eye on for a while. I just wanted to make sure Melissa got the recognition she deserves, such an amazing customer service person and a real credit to this company. Thanks again!!!

WARNING GO ELSEWHERE – 0 stars WARNING don’t use this company! 0 for service & shipping, always seems that product is lost in transit by many customers. Something going on! Ordered 2nd Dec 20024 -8wks to be given wrong product that they said they upgraded!
Disappointing – I had been using the Hair Growth shampoo and conditioner for well over a year and absolutely loved it. My hair was shiny and healthy. I just got another delivery and the first wash I could tell it was different. My hair is now dull and corse and heavy and does not feel clean. I compared the ingredients on the 2 bottles and it looks like there are more ingredients in the new bottle, but they claimed they had not changed it.

Worst customer service – They sent me the wrong package, then refused to deliver my order until I returned the wrong order. I chose to order online for the convenience but now need to go to the post office during its limited opening hours. They called the second delivery, the replacement order. No, it’s not, it’s my original order. The worst customer service ever. The delivery error is their problem, not mine.

My Hair Called 911… BondiBoost Answered! – My Hair Called 911… BondiBoost Answered! Listen, my hair was going through a midlife crisis—thinning, stressed, and honestly ready to retire early. Then I found BondiBoost HG Anti-Thinning Shampoo & Conditioner, and wow, what a comeback! From the first wash, my scalp felt like it got a VIP spa day. The peppermint? Invigorating. The lather?… Read more
Luxurious. The scent? Like my hair just got back from a wellness retreat in Byron Bay.
Fast forward a few weeks, and my strands are thicker, happier, and thriving. My shower drain is no longer a hair graveyard. My ponytail? Looking like it just got a promotion. People are asking if I switched shampoos—I just give them a mysterious hair flip and walk away.
Final verdict: If your hair is calling for backup, BondiBoost is dispatching a rescue team.
Worse than an average hair dryer – I bought a blow out brush and its performance is rubbish. It’s much better to do my hair with a regular blow dryer. The blow out brush takes forever and makes my hair frizzy. I barely use it and just recently tried it again and it made a big bang noise and smelt like smoke. I have contacted for a refund.
Caused a super dry and flaky scalp – I had always been sceptical of the company as they claim some of there products can “repair” split ends which is literally impossible (I’m a former hairdresser, I would know), but I decided to try the HG Shampoo on a whim. I would not recommend, it gave me an insanely dry and flaky scalp. I continued using it for a couple of months to see if my… Read more
scalp would adjust but it was still terrible and dry. I’ve never had that reaction to any hair product other than this before. Don’t waste your money.
Terrible experience – Anti dandruff shampoo leaves hair extremely heavy and dull. Similar look to swimming in a chlorinated pool. Even my brother noticed and he never notices these kind of things. Emailed constructive feedback with no reply. Left negative feedback on their website and it was never posted. Buyers beware. It’s expensive which l don’t have a problem with but no follow up after a negative experience isn’t quite what l expected.
Customer Care – What a terrible company and don't care about customers giving aload of excuses instead of resolving issues. Never will use again or recommend to anyone. I am glad I am not the only unhappy customer judging by the reviews with 7 out of 10 customers not happy with products or service.
Bondi Boost Blow Out Brush.Terrible product quality – The Blow Out Brush stopped working after only 4 months of receiving. Followed all cleaning recommendations but the brush just wouldn't turn on one day and unable to be repaired or returned.
Do not use! Significant hair loss – I bought a few of their products, specifically their dandruff range. My head stopped itching for maybe a couple of weeks then the itchiness started coming back, but I also started losing hair. I didn't think much of it in the beginning but after a couple more weeks my hair is falling out in chunks. I only have to run my fingers through my hair and… Read more
so much hair falls out. My hair has never been this bad before. I threw all their products in the bin! Hopefully my hair grows back to how it was.
Poor customer service – Placed order with a reply that said email will advise when sent. No further email received or even communication to advise delay etc. In comparison to other online companies this is poor customer service. I have searched to look for reviews and whether a scam.

They dont know what is in stock and what isnt – Ordered Clever Curler a week ago for my daughter with some heat protector spray. Only the spray turns up so I chase them up only to be told that they are out of stock now and are issuing a refund. They send a 20% off code but everything was 30% off last week anyway. Its bad enough to sell something that is not in stock but to not realise until the… Read more
delivery has got to the customer and they raise the issue is useless. This has now led to me having 2 bottles of spray to be used with a curling wand we do not have
Poor and Rude Customer Service! – I provided factual (with supporting pictures) on their new updated mixture for their Dandruff shampoo which was not as good as the original mix because it was more oily (which increases the chance for Dandruff) and they came back confirming the change but advising our clients like it so yea... pretty much insinuating I am not an important customer… Read more
and my feedback means nothing to them. I have been a long time customer and absolutely shock how little care they give their customers. they just want the sales but have no after sale care at all. I am very disappointed on this recent interaction.
Asked for credit card and id to release my order – I recently placed a small order (under $50) with Bondi Boost and they asked me to send them my credit card and id over email or my order won't be released. Is this a joke? I of course cancelled my order straight away and won't order anything from them ever again. It is a shame because I used to like their products.
Do not use – Do not use this shampoo! I have been using it for one month & my hair is falling out in clumps!!! I have lost 30% of my hair.. shame on you Bondi boost
No responses on emails – I had sent several emails regarding their brush blow dryer I purchased that stopped working after using it about three times. I have still to receive a response. I only had the item within a few months when it did this. The worst company & there is no telephone to report a complaint!!!!
Bondi Boost – Hi. I have only recently started to purchase from Bondi Boost. Loving what I have already bought - scalp salt, heat protector and hair styler - I ordered shampoo and conditioner but was unable to apply the advertised discount code, for some reason, but decided to purchase anyway. I immediately emailed BB and explained my problem. They replied in… Read more
record time to say that they had refunded the discount amount, although that was not my intention. I was extremely impressed with their understanding and resolution. I would definitely recommend this company.
My THIRD REVIEW!! 1 out of 5 for service – This is the second time they have increased their prices on RECURRING MONTHLY ORDERS without prior notifying me. Imagine this; you set up a monthly order for some items and a shipping cost. You get charged every month on the day and all is well. But then my latest order charge has gone up by $3 - they increased their shipping cost since my last… Read more
order.
My gripe is not them increasing prices, my gripe is that they do not tell you that they are increasing prices, that your next order will cost more.
This has happened twice now. The exact same thing happened to me a year ago with Bondi Boost.
They screen their reviews and dont post the negative ones! Missing an item and they simply didn't care – I ordered what should have been 13 items valued at over $500. Noticed one item from a set was missing a couple of days later and emailed them. Response was not favourable. Looking at these reviews, customer service is extremely disappointing. Try to support the Aussie brands and get ripped off. Left a negative review on their website and they've screened it - no wonder they look so well loved when they're controlling the feedback
Fabulous Customer Service - 20 out of 10 ! – Customer service rating 20 out of 10! Received immediate response - offer of exchange or refund. Provided free postage to return item. Entire issue sorted within hours. Professional, efficient and friendly. Thanks.
Negative experience with device but awesome customer service – The brush didn't work after the second use. First it was strange sound and then smoke and burning smell out of the device. The positive thing is the customer service which was incredibly responsive. Sadly I had to return the brush but I appreciate how helpful and quick the customer service were.
