What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific …

"I remember this is the very first bottle of shampoo I purchased, on my own, with my babysitting money. I just remember when the wind catches your hair, it just was all you could smell and you knew your hair was extra clean." - Linda aguirre, San Francisco, CA

"I used this when it first came out & loved the smell! It's wonderful...Luscious & sexy...so glad I found it again!" - Joanne, Horsham, PA

"Dear Mr. Orton, I was so happy to see Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific back again. My four daughters and I used it. I have looked and looked for it over the years. I used to show pedigreed cats and always washed them with it before a show. All of the judges commented on how great they smelled. Thanks for finding it." - Cathy, Columbus,

"I began using Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific in High School. I’m not sure, but I think it's what really caused my husband to fall in love with me. Ha! I've been looking for this shampoo for years. We will be married 30 years soon, so I thought it would be a fun surprise for our anniversary. Thank You." - Margaret Seybert, Moorestown, NJ

"I cannot believe I found someone that has this shampoo! I have been looking for it quite some time. Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific! has the best smell ever. I had lots of compliments. I can't wait to order this shampoo and have my daughter and granddaughter experience the wonderful smell!" - Nancy Lumsden, Oxford, AL

"I first used this shampoo in 1975-'76. I had moved to Hawaii. You would think that with all the lovely tropical flowers there, the scent of my hair would have been the last thing anyone would have noticed. But there was not a single person I met who did not ask me what the lovely scent was that I was wearing in my hair! That was no fancy perfume scent at all, just my Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific! shampoo. After it was discontinued, I tried many imitations, including shampoo, conditioners, perfumes, even air fresheners, in an attempt to re-create the fragrance in my hair. No luck! Until I rediscovered the original Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific! right here at The Vermont Country Store! How can I ever thank you?" - Teresa Windmiller, Grove City, OH

"When I was young my two sisters and I would walk up to Coffman Drug Store (little drug store in our neighborhood for years) and they had a wall of penny candy and just about everything a kid could want. I bought some "Gee your hair smells terrific" and was hooked. I ran out one day and we all walked to Coffman's to get some more. I couldn't find it on the shelves and went to ask the clerk and for some reason, I got completely tongue-tied and couldn't get it out correctly. The clerk kept saying "What?" So my two sisters finally shouted together - "She is trying to say - GEE YOUR HAIR SMELLS TERRIFIC!" We still laugh about that. We also wondered not long ago why they took it off the shelves." - Cheryl Shigaki, Woodbride, VA

"It is said that the sense of smell is the sense most closely related to memory. Being able to smell GYHST shampoo after more than 30 years brought back a flood of memories of summers at the lake with my best friend. Thank you for making it available again!" - Joe S, Tampa, FL

"I'm so excited to find this shampoo again. I always used this when I was in high school and people would really walk up and tell me how good my hair smelled. I can't wait to try it again to see if it still has the same effect. I'm so happy to have finally found this shampoo once again." - Linda, Richmond,

"Such a wonderful thing to be able to experience something I so much enjoyed in "my younger days." The smell brings back so many wonderful memories. And to the Vermont Country Store, Thank You. You Now Have A Loyal Customer. I will be doing a lot more business with you !" - Julie, Ilion,

"Hi I just purchased 4 bottles of the Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific! conditioner. I was disappointed to find that the bottles are small and that the smell was not the same. So I was ready to return it. My curiosity got to me so I used it this morning. Surprisingly, I was so happy to find that the conditioner does smell the same after you use it! I plan to now keep my 4 bottles and to share this story for you all who think that this is overpriced for a small bottle! It is a great buy to have this original scent back again. Remember, the original formula was discontinued. Thank You Vermont Country Store for remaking this fabulous product into a safe formula that works and smells (on your hair) the same as it did when I was in junior high! Who needs perfume when your hair smells so great? Thank you, thank you, thank you!" - Mary B., Port Huron, MI

"I love GYHST because in the summer when you perspire, all you smell is the fresh, clean scent of the product, and not the sweat! I've been waiting years to see this product again! Thank you, thank you!" - Puela, Los Angeles, CA

"Used this shampoo and conditioner in the '70s. My boyfriends would always say, "Damn, Your hair smells good!" I liked hearing that." - Sherri B, Pottstown, PA

"I was in 8th grade or there abouts, and we all had the Dorothy Hamill hair cut and this is the shampoo we all loved. We would say, ‘Gee, your hair smells terrific,' and laugh." - Vicki R Robinson, Snellville, GA

"I grew up on the beachy shores of Long Island. This scent takes me back to the 70's, beachy days, Noxzema, disco, ocean breezes and a carefree wonderful time. It's amazing how this one product can capture an entire moment in time!" - Kathy Baker, Carrollton, TX

"I have been looking for this shampoo forever. I used it when I was a teenager, and it rocks. Now I can get it from you-all. I will have to hide it from my daughter because it is a little high but so worth it for myself. It brings back the memories of yesteryear. Thanks!" - kim morsund, duncan, OK

"In the 1970s it was my favorite shampoo, and I am glad I found it again. I love the smell." - Christine Filuta, Troy, NY

"I must admit, I had to do a double take, as I was half asleep hearing this on the news this morning. Wow, am I excited to be able to order this wonderful, amazing Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific product again! What the heck happened to it? I am ordering it for my daughter for Christmas as a surprise and for myself to bring back such wonderful memories of the feeling of clean and smelling terrific, and the comments I received. This shampoo and the Flex products are just such a clean and inviting scent. Thanks, I can hardly wait to shampoo my hair, and I think my daughter will be one of the first here in Clarkston to have comments and heads turning to say, "Gee, your hair smells terrific!" as she has beautiful long hair and she shampoos every day. I would order more for all my friends and family; however, the economy, well, end of story. But everyone will soon be asking, "Where do I get that?" "You are kidding!" "Wow, how did you hear of that?" etc. So thank you so much, and now I will complete my order!" - Debbie Weiss, Clarkston, MI

"Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific -- the smell that I can remember smelled so good, sexy, fresh, and clean; the smell really does take me back to the days of my youth and my innocence in Detroit, Michigan. Those were the days!" - Karen Brock, Tazewell, TN

"I got this for my daughter for Christmas, and she screamed when she opened the box and then she cried like a baby. I cried, we were laughing and crying, she was so happy, she told all her friends on Facebook and they all were asking where I got it from and how I thought of that gift. She is 35 now, and I used to use it on her hair when she was six, until I could not find it anymore. This was the best gift, seeing my daughter laugh, cry, and look so surprised and happy!" - Deb Malone, Glendora, CA

"When I saw the story on The Today Show, I almost fell out of my chair with excitement. I called my mother with tears in my eyes. I couldn't believe after all these years of searching for my favorite shampoo and conditioner from the '70s that your store now carries it. I have put in an order and am looking forward to once again having that wonderful-smelling hair. The memories of those days came flooding back, and I can tell you that my husband of over 30 years was one of those who told me how terrific my hair smelled when I used this product in high school in the '70s. Thank you for making my day." - Brenda Wright, Cedartown, GA

"I was a teen in the '70s and used this shampoo all the time. It actually could smell up a small room. I got lots of compliments. There is nothing out there that you can compare it to. This is a very special shampoo. I can't wait to order it. Thanks, Vermont Country Store!" - Maureen, Gilson, IL

"Please don't ever stop selling this product, because it keeps me young! The '70s were awesome, and I pity those who didn't get to experience it and great products like these that are such great memory triggers! Now, if you could figure out a way to get my high school boyfriend back, I'd be eternally grateful!" - Cynthia Beye, Marshalltown, IA

"Back in the 8th grade a boy by the name of Kevin Brown would always sit behind me and sniff my hair. It's funny because he would say, "Gee, your hair smells terrific." And I would laugh and say, "That's the name of my shampoo." I'm so glad I found the shampoo again. Thanks." - Lynn Woodruff, Hackneyville, AL

"My shower has become a time machine to the fountain of youth." - Mellisa Adler, Davenport, IA

"Seeing how I was only 2 years old in 1979, I'm sad to say I had to miss the 70's. But I kept hearing about this product and seeing vintage ads and it made me curious. I shave my head, so keeping my scalp clean is essential. This only took about a nickel size drop to get my head clean and everyone else is right, the smell is out of this world. I'm very happy to say that I have tried this now and love it and will gladly buy it again!" - Clint, Muskegon, MI

"This is a memory that I have from many years ago. In 1979 I underwent emergency brain surgery for a ruptured blood clot in my brain. I had used Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific that morning. The doctors that performed my surgery shaved my head completely, and at 19 that was a really big deal. I kept the bucket of "my hair" for many years. Every time that I would lift the lid all you could smell was how good my hair smelled. It really did smell TERRIFIC. That has been almost 31 years ago and I would love to find that on shelves today. People just don't know what they are missing today by not having that truly good smell after you have washed your hair. I was 19 then and I am soon to be 50 this year. I want to have that terrific-smelling hair again!" - Donna Thornes, Salisbury, MD

"I used Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific in high school and I loved it. I have been looking for the product ever since. I was so happy when I found it at the Vermont Country Store. This product brings back a time in my life when my hair smelled great and life was a lot easier. I cannot wait to walk into a store again and hear someone say, GEE, YOUR HAIR SMELLS TERRIFIC. Thank you for carrying this product. I am so happy i finally found it again after all these years." - Sheri, Deerfield beach, FL

"My mom used to use this shampoo and conditioner when I was a kid. I remember the smell of her hair and was so overjoyed when I found this product.

Thanks again, VCS!" - Raymond S, jamestown, NY

"I absolutely HAD to purchase this shampoo, having used it and loved it as a teenager in the simpler 1970s. It's truly terrific, and I'm overjoyed that my first purchase from VCS is such a memorable one. I used this shampoo for the first time in several decades and it was like being a teen again! Thanks much!" - Jan L., Mandeville, LA

"My friends and I would not go out until we all used this shampoo. It was the best-smelling shampoo ever. Nobody will ever beat this stuff. Excellent!" - Glenda Williams, Saint Marys, PA

"I, along with so many others, am THRILLED beyond belief to see my most favorite shampoo is available again! I was bummed for years when I found it had been discontinued--WHY, I wondered long, and longingly. I began my shampoo love affair as a freshman in high school, and actually, really, honestly DID TELL the girl who always sat in front of me for morning gathering in my dorm, "Gee, your hair smells terrific!" I DID! From the time she told me that was its name, I was hooked! And I thought FOR LIFE! THANK YOU for bringing that thought back to possible LIFE for me! ~ Can we buy a CASE??" - Anna Marie Holmes-Butterick, Bishop, CA

"We have very soft water, and I have trouble getting most shampoos to wash out of my hair. When I saw this shampoo, I remembered how fabulous my hair was in the '70s. It is exactly the same! My hair is magically young again! So clean and bouncy. Thanks." - katrina crawford, southport, NC

"I too have been searching for this shampoo and conditioner for 20 years plus. So I am happy to learn that VCS carries it! Thanks for the memories! I love the smell and I get compliments galore! Will buy again and again." - Theresa Valdespino, Bronx, NY

"I remember this shampoo from the '70s. I also buy the Body on Tap and LemonUp shampoos, also from the '70s. I have found that going back and forth between the three shampoos, they last for an extremely long time. I am about to place my order for all three shampoos again. I can't believe they are available again; never thought I would see them again! I am extremely fussy about my hair." - Karen Peyton, East Point, GA

"I used this shampoo as a teenager. Also the other three shampoos you offer, LemonUp, Body on Tap, and Herbal Essence [now Country Herbal]. These were my four favorite shampoos and I always got them every month when shopping for "my" supplies with my parents. It was so great to see them again, and of course I ordered all four. Just as I remember, too. I hide these for my personal use, as I have five daughters. Thank you so much for making them available again. They are a little high in price but something is only worth how bad you want it, so the price did not matter to me. I would have paid more." - Brenda Marchione, Claymont, DE

"For years I've wanted to know for sure just how terrific GYHST smelled. Well, I picked up a bottle in 2007 . . . and lo and behold, the bottle was all true! I'd use it whenever I felt I needed to smell terrific, or just for fun! Awesome product, available for a new generation of girls who want to smell terrific for their fellas!" - Sara, Greenfield, MA

"My daughter, who is 17, tried my Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific and said that it worked better for her dandruff than the dandruff shampoo!" - Heather Harvey, Fairbanks, AK

"I just ordered my GYHST shampoo and conditioner. I haven't had any since high school. I cant wait! My co-workers think I'm crazy . . . but wait 'til I walk in and they say "Wow, what's that great smell?" I will then flip my hair all around so they can say, "Gee, Terri, your hair smells terrific!" I'm so excited." - terri gomez, two harbors, MN

"I was curious if the description written when I first saw it was true or not, so I told myself I will order and try it. Indeed, it is very true -- my hair smelled terrific! My officemates asked me what shampoo I use because the smell is kind of unique, they said. I wrote to Vermont Country Store and told my story. Then I suggested that there should be a conditioner to go with it. And my wish came true! The conditioner came to life." - Linda aguirre, San Francisco, CA

"Love the product! It brings me back to a time when I was a teenager, with no cares or worries of the future, just about how nice it was to be young and alive!" - Mj Naumann, prospect Harbor, ME

It is a treasured memory in our family, especially for her dad. I think I'll buy some for his Father's Day surprise." - Lynda, Warm Springs, GA

"I am only 23 years old and can remember clear as day the smell of this shampoo. My mother bought a bottle when I was about seven or eight years old. She found it who knows where, at a old mom-and-pop store, and when I used it I fell in love. Today I am much older but still love that fragrance. I bought three bottles of the shampoo and conditioner. I am giving my mother a set for her birthday. She is going to flip!" - Rachael, Troutville, VA

"I have been looking for this shampoo for years. My friends and I would not go out anywhere until we all used Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific. I was heartbroken when I couldn't find it. Now I have, and I will be telling all my friends about my find. So glad to see it again. I am sure it will bring a lot of old memories back once I use it again. Good ole' memories." - Glenda Williams, Saint Marys, PA

"I just laughed out loud when I saw this product offered at The Vermont Country Store! My friends and I would love to act out the TV commercial with each other! We all used it on our feeble attempt at Farrah Fawcett hair, and LOVED the way it made our hair smell!! Thanks for the memories, VCS!! Think I might just splurge and buy some for a sweet trip down memory lane!"-Mary, Morton, IL
