Reviews mention

  • Luxurious honeyed fragrance profile
  • Shine-boosting hair oil formula
  • Elegant, display-worthy packaging
  • Softening, smoothing hair mask
  • Inconsistent results across hair types
  • Leaky, slippery dropper packaging
  • Heavy, greasy feel for fine hair
  • Runny, underwhelming lip oils

Gisou earns polarized reviews: while many praise the Honey Infused Hair Oil, hair mask, and hair perfume for lush scent, shine, and softer, healthier-looking hair, others find several products—especially the oil, shampoo/conditioner, and some lip oils—heavy, underwhelming, or messy. Reviews cite standout sensory appeal and occasional real improvements, but note inconsistent performance across hair types, leaky droppers, granules in serum, and short-lived or subtle results.

  • products are beautiful, the packaging is incredible. but they don't actually do anything and are filled with cheap filler ingredients like silicones etc

    make the items higher quality

  • If i could give this brand more than 5 stars I would. I love their haircare products. Everything is made with honey. Smells amazing. All their products work. Would purchase again and again!

  • The hair oil is overhyped, it made my hair greasy and didnt smooth as well as other hair oils I’ve tried have. The hair mask is okay, I would say there are better hair brands out there.

  • I'm obsessed with the Gisou scent. My entire family is hooked onto Gisou products. My favorites are the hair oil, hair perfume, and hair mask.

    Nothing!

  • leave in conditioner and styling cream are good not great :( I prefer products that have a stronger scent and these do not. I also didn’t particularly love how heavy/full of product my hair felt after using these! i don’t think i’d repurchase

  • I bought a travel size (0.7 fl. oz.) at the Sephora checkout line a couple weeks back and have used it for close to 3 weeks now. I do like the elegant packaging and the fact that it's accessible to buy in-store.

    Prior to this, I was using the OGX Argan Oil. I end up using more product with Gisou because I don't find it that moisturizing. After about 12-15 hours, the ends of my hair feel very dry again. For reference, I have mostly healthy hair, but I got a perm about a year ago, and my ends need a little help. Do not think I will repurchase.

  • I love the packaging but the smell is a little too strong for me. The hair mask helped smooth my hair but the honey-infused conditioner did not. The shampoo is okay. However, I have heard many good things about Gisou's hair oil but have yet to try it. These products would still be great gifts because the packaging is cute and it might work better on different hair types.

  • I tried almost everything from Gisou, i'm obsessed with everything. So so good products

  • their honey oil smells amazing although it’s a bit too oily for everyday use on my hair.

  • I tried the shampoo and conditioner for a few months and thought it was OK in comparison to other products at this same price-point. Nothing really stood out to me as I didn't see any dramatic changes in the texture of my hair/scalp.

  • The best hair oil! It smells so good and leaves my hair so shiny. I just wish it was a little cheaper.

  • Bought the leave in conditioner. Smell is nice but I don't see it working as well as other brands I've tried (Oribe, bumble and bumble).

  • I have their honey hair oil and I love it! It makes my hair sooo soft and I love the smell of it. The $28 travel size lasts me for awhile and I have a lot of hair so I like that it's relatively affordable.

    Maybe I've gotten defective bottles, but the little glass bottle with the oil kinda leaks? There always seems to be oil on the outside no matter how many times I clean it off. However, could be user error.

  • I love all their different hair products but my favorite would have to be their hair oil. Makes my hair shiny and less frizzy all while making it smell amazing. The only downside is that their products are on the pricey side. Still for great looking hair, well worth it.

  • Love the smell and consistency of the gisou hair oil. It's not too heavy and works well to de-frizz my hair.

  • The Gisou hair oil is to die for!! The actually product feels so luxurious and the packaging is amazing.

  • gisou is yet another influencer popular brand with great marketing and packaging- i find many of their products to be hit or miss. while i love their whole mission with regards to the bees- for my hair type personally- their honey infused products are just a bit too heavy. that said, their propolis heat protectant is a holy grail product for me, and is amazing at helping to hold curls- i've already gone through two bottles, and i will keep purchasing it for the rest of my life

  • I love the look of the products (though not very sustainable) and think a couple of products are good - the Hair Oil and Hair Primer, however I don't think it's worth the hype. There are much better hair care products out there at similar or lower price points. The scent is lovely and it all feels luxurious to use but hasn't improved the condition of my scalp/hair.

    Feedback

    The packaging of the shampoo (pump bottle) makes it quite hard/annoying to use when in the shower. I also don't think the mask or conditioner has improved my hair at all.

  • I’ve only tried the honey infused hair oil by Gissou but it’s amazing and leaves my hair so incredibly soft without any residue or weighing it down like some other hair oils. Works well on both damp and dry hair. Honestly can’t wait to try more products by them!

  • The best decision you'll make for your hair. Smells delicious and your hair will feel different from the very first use. the mask and shampoo are my fave, followed by oil and conditioner.
