User Reviews & Tips

  1. Although I don’t like to use anything on my gray, thin, flyaway hair, I have to. Your Matte Pomade Paste makes it look like I’m natural. I only use a little, which is great ’cause I’m so cheap! All kidding aside, it’s so nice to see American Made on a great product. You guys are the coolest.

  2. Hi guys,
    I have just recently purchased your products and would like to give you some feedbacks after about 10 days using them.

    I have been trying so many different hair products in my life and I have to say nothing works as well as your products.

    I really love the smell, and how its so easy to restyle my hair all day long even though your products have great hold. They are also easy to wash out. In essence, your products work as advertised and I will definitely recommend your products to my friends and relatives.

    Styling my hair is no longer a hassle in the morning.

    Keep up the great work guys!

  3. Imperial,
    I wanted to say thanks for making a great product. For years, I have been looking for a product that holds all day, gives texture, and has a “non-greasy” appearance. You deliver on your word– “made to work”. With your matte pomade, I get consistent styling that I feel confident in. I look forward to trying more of your merchandise.

  4. I“ll make it short and sweet, if I could buy it buy the gallon I would. Works very well for a loose natural slick back. Just slap on to damp hair comb back, good for the day. Well done!

  5. I use to be a Classic Pomade guy and loved your product more than anything on the market. And now I can say that my new favorite is this Matte Pomade Paste. Holds really well and doesn’t give my dark hair any shine so it looks nice and natural.

    Keep it up!

  6. I just received the product today, and first of all, let me just say that I’m honestly amazed by it. Everything about it is pretty perfect. It has a light, but really pleasant scent (almost like melon) and held my fine hair perfectly. Also, the packaging is fantastic. It’s really sturdy and looks great.

    Thank you!

  7. I have used stuff like American crew, Jack Black, 3flowers, gels etc and your Matte pomade is the best! I have thin curly hair and really don’t like too much if any shine
    In my hair. I like my hair to be clean and neat without all the wet look! Your matte pomade is just perfect for the clean look!
    Plus the scent it clean and professional smelling, holds tight with out the stiff feel… Great Stuff!

  8. i just wanted to drop a note saying how much i like the matte pomade paste i purchased. as a graphic designer i was first taken by your identity package and the presentation. after using the product for a few weeks now, i am extremely happy with the product and how light it feels and supplies just the right amount of hold yet doesn’t feel over done with product. so thank you for producing such a wonderful product to use with a well designed identity.

  9. Hey all… Just another review on a GREAT product.

    I have the thickest, most impossible to manage hair. I suppose the “thick hair” part isn’t a problem when everyone around me is getting bald, but for now, its just so impossible to manage. I bought this product from a friend and have been hooked ever since.
    The product goes in super easy and makes my hair look naturally messy (but of course, still put together). My type of hair looks better natural and this product does exactly what I’ve always wanted.
    Its a little hard to find, but West Elm sells it now and so do select barbers. If all else fails, the internet does wonders.

  10. I love this stuff. I just use a dime sized dollop after the shower and it keeps my hair in position without any sheen. My only request is for variety in packaging. As it is now, I can’t take my Imperial on the road because 4 oz is over TSA restrictions.

  11. I had been looking for a hair product that I liked for years. Being vegan makes it hard to find something to use, most things either have beeswax or are tested on animals. The ones I did find worked ok, but it wasn’t really what I was looking for. I tried Paul Mitchel, American Crew and different drug store brands. Then I stumbled on this website saw that their products are vegan friendly and cruelty free. I wasn’t sure which product to get so I emailed them describing my hair situation and what I was looking for in the product. I was stuck between the fiber and matte pomade. They replied just a few minutes later suggesting I try the matte paste. I took their advice and am very happy with my purchase. It has a nice hold and keeps your hair looking natural, I don’t like too much shine in my hair so it’s perfect. I will be getting my hair products from here for now on, next I think I’ll try their shaving bundle since I’ve heard good things about it as well.

  12. This is a great pomade. Does exactly what it says(medium-hold, matte shine) and has a nice and light scent that is not overpowering. It is not at all greasy and washes out of hair easily. And you get a nice size container of it for the price as well.

  13. Hey, i love your products, i have the entire collection. This is my favorite by far. The only thing is that when i apply it to completely dry and combed blown hair, it leaves white residue. Any suggestions on how to get past that? Otherwise product is perfect. Holds is superb when applied to dry hair.

    (Imperial side note: As with all of our products, especially the Matte Pomade Paste, be sure to evenly activate product in your palms and thoroughly work into and through the hair for optimal results and performance.)

  14. Please do not change this formula or stop producing this pomade; it’s perfect. Finally–the perfect pomade.
