I'm sure you all saw my thread about the $195 for 3oz. treatment a couple of weeks ago.

I have yet another outrageously priced product. It's this Mason Pearson brush:

56269


Is there any reason, any reason at all, that this brush is $90? Is the handle made of diamonds or platinum or something?
 
My guess would be because there are people willing to pay $90 so that they can say that they have a *Mason Pearson* brush....or that they only use *Mason Pearson* brushes :rolleyes: If no one bought them, there would be no demand and they would either lower their price or go out of business.

If you had came in and said that it made your hair grow, I'm sure someone on here would have been ordering it. :look: ...but maybe it does?
 
Ahhh, the MP brush. It's supposed to last damn near forever, it's made of natural boar bristles, and there's something else that makes it 'the Nirvana' of brushes.

:look: I can't really knock em, considering I gave in to the siren call and brought not one, not two, but THREE of their combs (which adds up to the brush, almost) - and I love them and call them George and will seriously break down and cry if I ever break one.

If I was relaxed/had straight hair, I'd be all over that brush too, sad to say. :lol:
 
Supergirl you had me laughing with the "oncestagain" sounding all steve harveyish!!! People are buying that thing, girl why I do not know!!!:nono:
 
I read somewhere that they dont have a large inventory of stuff on hand which means that its almost made when ordered. The technique is suppose to be the same as it was years ago and is still made by hand,
please dont quote me on this

I dont own on and dont think I will ever buy one

On the bolded you took me back to my childhood when I used to watch those bugs bunny cartoons.
 
THIS IS FROM THE WEBSITE:
WHAT SETS US APART FROM EVERYONE ELSE?

* The unique rubber-cushion pad, made by hand using Mason Pearson’s original techniques, allows for effective and efficient brushing. It is kind to use and massages the scalp.

* The cellulose plastic handle is hand-polished and any sharp edges are removed to make the hairbrush more comfortable to hold. This handle was developed from the original wooden design which we continue to make in small quantities.

* We continue to try to improve on the established design : for example, the "Child" brush is in response to a customer’s request. This is designed to enable a child to become accustomed to the activity of brushing. Similar to this, in the materials used, is the "Sensitive", which has been developed for people who have thinning hair or very fine hair. This brush gently stimulates the scalp. The natural extension has been to have a "Sensitive" model for those men who are "thin on top".

* We build our products to last as long as possible. While we cannot make indestructible products, we use the best materials available so that, with a little care, they should give good service.We try to make improvements continuously. We have developed our own special nylon and take particular care in our selection of natural bristles to use the best combination for each brush.
 
i have a little one i bought it a few years ago its held up very nicely even though its been dragged around in all of my purses for so so so long
 
This are the best brushes, it's an english thing. It has the best bristles stimulates and massages your scalp without ripping your hair out. My sister bought me one while she was in Enlgand.
 
i believe it comes with a manservant who holds your smoothie while you detangle.

One would hope so! :lachen:

I believe it is just like every other over priced item. So can people can say they have one and show how much more money they have when the could have bought stocks!
 
Bed Bath & Beyond (the ones that have a BSS within the store) they sell some brushes very similar to the Mason Pearson type. I have a small one that's really nice. I got it for around $11 with coupons. The large one is around $28 (before coupons.)
 
I got one as a b-day present from a white friend in hs. I didn't know about them b4hand so I was like this chick really got me a brush for my birthday? So I used it a couple of times and threw it away cause I was natural. But i cant blame them, I would pay that much for a Denman d4 if I had to.
 
Cindy Crawford was on Oprah a few months back and she said she has had hers for over 10 years and loves it.

$90 isn't a bad investment for something that will probably last forever.

I don't brush my hair enough to want one.

Wow, I hope you two stay in touch 'cause that's a lot of money to be spending on a friend in high school times.
