Knock-off of American Crew haircare products?

August 7, 2009 8:45 AM

I really like the smell of American Crew haircare products, the gel in particular. Does anyone know where (or if) a replica line of products is available?

American Crew is sold at normal retail outlets, like CVS. I doubt there's a knockoff version.

Response by poster: Actually, a trip to CVS is what inspired the question- I noticed that all the AXE products have knock-offs. The necessity of an AXE imitation puzzles me, but oh well.

Best answer: There's a knockoff version at Sally.

Response by poster: Thanks answergrape. I'll give this stuff a try. It looks like there's a store located right down the street. I never even noticed.

As an aside, I LOVE the smell of the Crew products. I did smell the knockoff version and it seemed similar.

"There's a knockoff version at Sally."

I've tried those versions myself. They're not very good. Stick with the name brand IMHO...

What's the knockoff version called? My money is on "American Cream".
