    My Favorite Box Dye!

    Amazing product!!!
    I have been coloring my hair at home for years. I actually procrastinate touch ups and color changes because of the hassle (drips on the floor, skin and other random places, amount of time it takes, etc.) and when I do color, I rush through it, often missing huge areas!

    The Vidal Sasson Salonist kit makes at home hair coloring so much easier! I was a little overwhelmed by the contents of the kit. No squeeze bottle and glove job: the kit comes with a brush and a dish, which let me tell you...way more effective for even color distribution!
    The Vidal Sasson Salonist has a two step process: color roots...waiting period...color rest of hair. I did not wait the full time between roots and the rest of my hair, but still happy with the results!

    The color is amazing (darkest neutral brown). A little darker than my natural color, 100% grey coverage and still shiny and vibrant several washes in!! Love the tones and blending. I find this is one of the nicest at home colors I've had, and definitely a more enjoyable coloring experience!

    I tried the Light Neutral Brown shade. I liked that the roots were treated separately, given more time, which they need, and then the length had less time. I do wonder though how effective the remaining mixture is, as hair colour needs to be applied immediately, we're told that it can't be kept to be used at another time. It adequately covered my grey, but not perfectly.

    I love red hair but I don't like paying salon prices because it fades SO fast and because my hair is so dark they usually have to bleach it leaving it really fried and damaged. I saw this at my drugstore and something about it just made me really want to try it so I got 5/45 medium intense red. You do your roots first and then you mix a serum into it and rub it into sections of your hair. I love that part because it's really fast to do your whole head and I find it's not as harsh as other drugstore dyes.
    But..HOLY IS IT RED. I almost regretted it because it was SO vibrant but after the stain on the scalp went away (two washes MAX I promise) and I styled it I fell in love. I can't get over how much it shows even without sunlight, it's amazing. It does fade within a month and a half but what red doesn't? And for the price, I don't mind doing it every couple months. Definitely give it a try!

    The first time I tried this hair colour was over a year ago, when I received a coupon for a free Vidal Sassoon hair dye. I have been in love ever since!

    I wear the shade 5/45 Medium Intense Red. I don't have any grey to cover, I just enjoy being a redhead! I have naturally medium/dark brown hair, and this covers it completely without any bleach. It's a really vibrant and intense red.

    The instructions are a bit weird on this one. I don't have long hair by any means -- I actually have very short hair,with an undercut -- so it can be hard to follow the directions, and I always end up with tons of product left over. However, this is the longest lasting hair colour I've ever used, so the weird directions obviously do something to help the longevity! I can literally go for at least three months without colouring, and my hair still looks fantastic.

    I find that the smell on this hair colour is also far less pungent than other hair dyes. The smell always really gets to me and makes me cough up a lung, but not so with this one, nor does it make my head itch. I have very fine and delicate hair, but this doesn't seem to damage my hair in any way.

    This is on sale frequently, so I don't think I've ever paid full price for it. As someone who has tried a lot of dyes, I can honestly say that this is by far the best.

    The only con to this hair dye is that it's a two step system which is a slight inconvenience but the quality of product is just amazing. Absolutely zero mess and amazing colour. Great moisturizing condition included as well.

    I recently used this in the dark auburn shade. There was plenty of product in the box so is great for those like me who have hair past their shoulders. The two step system takes a bit of getting used to if you haven't used the brush before, but the formula was nice and thick so no dripping. The colour was very vibrant for the first couple of days (maybe a little too bright for my taste) but after a couple of washes it toned down to a very nice auburn shade. All in all it is a very good hair dye and not a bad price point either.

    I received a coupon from someone for a free Vidal Sassoon hair color. I chose this product in 9/0 Light Neutral Blonde.
    I had medium brown regrowth and blonde lengths with recent half-hearted attempts at adding some highlights to blend the regrowth in.
    The product is easy to use, and the directions are clear and make it obvious as how to use the product.
    There were no harsh smells. The condition felt great and smelled really nice too.
    My results were very satisfactory, and I would recommend this to my customers at work, and to friends!

    Best product of hair dye I've ever used!!!!! Fantastic results, long lasting color & shine! It is a two step process that does take some time, but other than that its perfect!

    I've had virgin hair for the last year or so minus a few highlights. Prior to that I was getting my hair dyed professionally at the salon. With two children it's hard to find the time to go out and get my hair done so I decided to do it at home.

    After researching and starting a forum on here I chose this dye as it got a lot of good praise.

    I'm so glad I chose this dye, thanks fellow Chick Advisors!

    I wanted something bold so I decided to go with the Intense Copper shade. My hair is naturally medium brown so I didn't expect it to turn out very intense but to my surprise it did. The colour turned out just a tad darker than on the box which is reasonable considering I'm not naturally blonde or fair haired.

    The application was very easy and didn't take long to apply. The smell wasn't too bad and the damage after was minimal. The colour turned out seamless, root to tip the colour was even.

    This dye is truly salon quality. It has been almost three weeks and the colour has barely faded! I couldn't be happier with my hair and plan on using this dye for years to come. I highly recommend it!
