Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the products for their excellent quality, noting that items like shampoo and conditioner bars perform as expected, leaving hair soft, manageable, and healthy. Many appreciate the pleasant scents and the effective detailing properties of the products. The user experience is frequently highlighted as positive, with consumers finding the products easy to use, especially for travel, and appreciating the quick and clear delivery service. Reviewers also value the company's commitment to sustainability, particularly the waste-free approach and organic ingredients. However, some customers also noted that certain products, like the sensitive shampoo, made their hair dull, lifeless, or oily. A few people with specific hair types, such as very curly or thick hair, found that the products did not provide enough moisture or lather adequately, leading to a dry or scraggly feeling. There were also occasional mentions of bars wearing down quickly or not receiving the correct product.

Worth Returning For

This is the second order of the shampoo and conditioner bars. As a 70+ woman, my hair was getting more course and these bars make it feel so soft and manageable. They last for ages, so good value indeed.

Fabulous Product

Wow - I had never considered using a shampoo or conditioner in a bar before. So glad that I tried it!!
SUPER impressed. Easy to use, smells wonderful, and great for travel. Best of all: the results for my curly hair were noticeable from the very first use. My hair feels smooth and silky soft. I have already recommended Nue Bar to my hairdresser!
Thankyou for a wonderful Australian product!!

This stuff is a god send!

I have been using this religiously for the past 3 years - this stuff is a god send. It nourishes my hair, never irritates my eczema and smells divine. I use it as co-wash and leave in conditioner on my 3C curl pattern hair. Literally no other product comes close to this!

Not for me

I don't normally have sensitive skin, but I think perhaps I need the sensitive skin bar, because this made me break out a bit.

Hi Olivia,
Thanks for your honest experience, it is important to us.
We have noticed you chose a Normal skin bar, and can appreciate you don’t normally experience breakouts according to your testimonial.
Breakouts while changing to a new skin cleanser can signal either skin purging (the new product is working by accelerating cell turnover to bring existing impurities to the surface) or a negative reaction (such as sensitivity, allergy, or pore-clogging from the new cleanser).
If it is the former reason, typical skin purging breakouts can last between 4-6 weeks, especially if you switched from a cleanser that may have not been as effective, or may have contained non-natural ingredients.
The sensitive skin bar is by far the most gentle bar in our range, whilst still providing an effective cleanse with ultra fine oatmeal powder to soothe and soften the skin.
We have found your email on file and will reach out to see if we can support you with a refund (as we do offer a money back guarantee for orders within 30 days) or even an alternative replacement.
Warm Regards,
Renee

Smells and feels great

I started using Nuebar a couple of years ago as I loved the idea of no plastic packaging. The shampoo and condition bars work great in my loose curly hair.

The best shampoo and conditioner bars!

I have been using Nuebar since I first saw them at Manly Markets, maybe 8-9 years. I absolutely love their shampoo and conditioner bars. My hair is shiny and healthy. They ship very quickly, too. Hint: buy the bags as that way you can use every last skerrick of the bar.

Unfortunately it makes my fine hair flatter. I find it slow to lather and then lather up in my hair. The shape of the bar could be improved to make this easier ie rounded.

Hi Vivien,
We appreciate your suggestions and your review.
We are sorry you found your NueBar hard to lather. In fact, without the irritating surfactants found in commercial brands, our bars lather differently to most Shampoo Bars on the market.
The good news is NueBar is highly concentrated. A little goes a long way when cleansing, we have a few ‘How to use’ videos on You Tube which will show you how to use the bars more effectively.
We also understand that NueBar isn’t for everyone, which is why we offer a money back guarantee if you’re not completely satisfied, you can find the details here: https://nuebar.com/pages/returns.
Feel free to reach out to our owner directly renee@nuebar.com if you would like some personalised advice on using your bars. :)
Warmly,
Nicole, Marketing.

I love this conditioner bar

I love this conditioner bar. I have never found a conditioner that suits my bleached oil prone hair, my daughters normal hair and my other daughters frizzy, dry curls. This product does every hair type and leaves your hair forever soft and smooth. It’s my go to living by the sun and surf.

It was great to have a small compact box with the shampoo and conditioner bars in it. Fitted in my small toiletries bag. No worries about what liquids i was carrying on a plane, and no chance of spills.
They were effective in washing my hair.
