Amika earns largely positive reviews for effective, great-smelling hair care—especially Perk Up dry shampoo, Soulfood Nourishing Mask, and The Kure repair line—suggesting the brand works for many hair types. Reviews also flag real drawbacks: heavy, lingering fragrance, occasional residue or heaviness on fine hair, mixed results across lines, and reports of scalp irritation or hair loss for some, plus durability issues with a hot tool.

  • AMAZING!! Love using Amina on my hair! My hair has gone through it and when I use amika it makes my hair feel like new!

  • Luxury hair care at its finest! Smells good, feels good, wouldn’t change a thing!

  • amika products are 10/10. I recently had lost a lot of my hair due to an illness and whatever was left on my head was brittle and dry! As my hair started growing, I religiously used their hair mask and it transformed my coarse hair - it’s way more hydrated and manageable now. I’ve used a variety of their products since - and I swear, my hair hasn’t ever looked so good. It’s finally shoulder length again and I use the conditioner and/or mask whenever I wash my hair and use the bombshell blow out spray before I blow dry. On non-wash days, I use the dry shampoo and it works wonders. They’re a tried and true brand!

  • My sister recommended I try the Amika’s leave in conditioning hair mask, and I’m so glad I did! First off it smelled delicious and secondly it left my hair soft, and shiny. For reference, I have very thick dry hair, and this product was a good fit for me. I’m hoping to purchase more of this product soon.

  • I think everyone’s hair is different and you probably have to try for yourself. I really tried to like their dry shampoo upon a recommendation from a friend. However I really just liked Perfect Hair Day better. The Anika one made my scalp even more greasy and sticky and the residue feeling never went away. This dry shampoo was a miss.

  • My mom is a hairstylist and really likes the brands formulas and how they affect the hair. I love the packaging and names of products!

  • amika's hair masks are to die for, seriously. the scent is amazing, the quality is awesome, it makes my hair sooooo soft. disclaimer, I've never purchased a full sized product, but whenever I get the chance I get it as a trial product in my sephora orders. highly recommend!!

    Received a free product from amika
  • I've tried both Soul Food and Dream Routine. Dream Routine is an ESSENTIAL part of my hair routine now. I really like this brand and think the products are effective and worth the money. They've completely changed the texture of my hair!

  • Packaging is not my favorite but good product variety and the instant shine mask is great for glossy looking hair.

  • I Love LOVE LOVE their Dry Shampoo. It has been a holy grail when it comes to dry shampoo I will not use another brand! I have tried their shampoo and like how clean it makes my hair feel. I would try other products from their line.

  • Got a sample size in a big $20 product sampling set from ulta and loved their hair humidity spray

  • I love their purple shampoo for blondes and their hydrating hair mask is THE BEST.

  • I love the scent of Amika products! I tried the conditioner and shampoo and loved the results and have rebought the products many times. I would love to try their other products.

  • I love this brand and every product I've used from them is amazing and well priced. also smells amazing.

  • i’ve used their Kure deep condition for 3+ years and there is nothing else like it. unfortunate that it’s so expensive but definitely worth it. bonus: it smells so good

  • I tried Amika's hair mask and it was okay. I have heard great things about their dry shampoo tho, so will be back once I try that!

  • I tried the bond repair line from Amika and I am hooked! Makes my hair feel great, smells good and at a decent price.

  • Okay, my hair stylist uses their smoothing cream and it is AMAZING. I didn't have the same passion for the Amica products I picked up from the beauty supply outlet or on Aamazon. Maybe they're old or expired or something? Stick to buying this from the site or salon. The blonde shampoo and conditioner wasn't the best, but their detangler smells incredible. My hubby is obsessed with my hair when I use it.

  • i've been using the perk up dry shampoo and soulfood nourishing mask for 10 years. the scent is divine and the products work. i've used so many products in their line — from blonde shampoos to their incredible hot tools. they're such a fun brand, always innovating, but never complicating what they're good at — quality haircare that makes you feel good.

    Feedback

    if you could only get one product from amika, start with the soulfood nourishing mask. i use it once a week and leave it on for 10 min. hair is considerably softer and shinier.
