When I was looking for a certain type of Mason Pearson brush, the only place I could locate it was at Tressence. Their description of wanting to open this business to provide this line of brushes for customers was heartwarming. The web purchase was straightforward and the brush arrived promptly in excellent condition. This is my first experience with a hairbrush made of boar bristles. I have only had the brush a short time, but it has transformed my hair by greatly reducing the frizz, lubricating the entire length of the hair strands, making it softer and even enriching the color due to the lubrication of the strands. The extremely dry scalp I have had for many years is a thing of the past. Thank you Tressence for giving me access to this amazing brush.
