In these times coming across money is hard. The funds are low and I have so many customers coming in who have used drug store colours because its all they could afford at the time between paychecks. I understand that this might be a money saver at the time but really in the long run, most of these people will be spending more for what the drug store brands do to them.
First you should know this. The words every hairdresser will shudder like the one who shall not be named to are Nice and Easy as well as Pantiene. Let me explain. Pantine is a horror story to hair. It coats your hair and makes it feel good at the first time but after several uses continues to make the coat gross and icky. Theres even been talk of hair falling out after using it. Now to take on Nice and Easy. Where do I begin? All the bad drug store names have the same effect. They are filled with this chemical called Ammonia. No not the type you get when your sick but a alkalizing agent which is used to quickly distribute the colour to the hair. This is bad. Alot of salon products are found with less ammonia and although it wont save you from colour damage if you keep colouring your hair it will have less of an effect to make your hair feel like hay then N+E. Another thing. We have to fix alll sorts of mistakes. Dont get me wrong thats what we're here for but when you go to the drug store to get the cheap kind, you will be paying more to get your hair to a more natural colour that looks right and not too red or anything. (like i was saying before). A big tip though if you ever find yourself in a drugstore looking at the colour boxes. Do NOT under any cercumstances choose Ash. At the salon it's fine but the bad quality of the drug store colours will leave your hair with an unknown shade of Green hair. Yup green. Fixable but if your waiting for an appointment to get a violet shade to fix it.. your going to regret that :S.
Anyways good luck in all your hair colouring endevers. Sorry for the horror story but I just want everyone to know that salon is DEFINITLY best.
