Color Brilliance - Semi-Permanent

I bought this on a whim at Sally Beauty. I was doing a few other treatments on my hair one Saturday afternoon (Ion crystal clarifying, followed by Aphogee protein 2-step). The Aphogee strips color, and I had planned to color that day anyway, but I needed something semi-permanent so I could use it immediately after the Aphogee treatment instead of waiting 24-36 hours. I bought this in Medium Warm …Read more

I've been using Ion's Demi-Permanent colors for years now, and while perusing the shelves at Sally's the other day, two shades from the Semi-Permanent collection caught my eye instead: Burgundy-Brown and Plum. I bought both as they were on sale, but decided to go with the Burgundy-Brown first, since the Sally's sales associate assured me it was the less bold of the …Read more

I used the gray bottle in "blackest black" as well as fuchsia, magenta and purple(?) tubes.
I used the black mixed with purple and a ton of Pantene Repair and Protect conditioner, which does contain silicone, over my natural but very slightly lifted and porous med-dark brown hair. It came out dark grayish purple, which was really pretty and what I was aiming for. It washed out in …Read more

My review is for the grey bottle with the purple lid.

I needed a black dye that was non peroxide so I could make my hair darker without permanently messing up all the bleaching I'd done. I have purple hair, but I wanted to turn it into a deep plum.

So I got two bottles of this and mixed it and the test strips came out well. I even loved the color when it was first …Read more

This product was the WORST. NEVER buying it again. Took me two time (4 boxes of dye) to get a decent color. I wanted a purple color and it came out PINK!! Worst product ever used and it faded completely out after one wash!!!!

I have been using this product for over a year, and love it. Now, I haven't gone crazy with the hair color and tried to highlight or give myself low lights. I tend to stay more towards my natural color but better. I have brown hair that has an auburn/red tent to it, so I usually get Light golden mahogany brown or the medium golden mahogany brown, but have tried auburn, one of the shocking …Read more

This product didn't work for my hair and I don't know why. Well it barely worked. I only needs a small section colored to blend in with my weave and it got my hair a tad bit darker but it wasn't brown which is the color I bought. It surprised me because when I put it on my hair it was dark so i figured it would take with no problem, nope. So I just mind it with a developer just to …Read more

So when I had rich red hair, I really wanted it to shine and I'd used John Freida glaze with much success but it's expensive and I figured Sally's would have something less expensive. So I was recommended the Ion Semi Perm CLEAR and I was told not to use a developer, obv, and I've used it 3 times

and it sucks.
NO difference in my hair's sheen. Again, I …Read more

Hello, I absolutely love the this product .... But having an extremely hard time mixing it 😞 any suggestions

Love it! Love it! Love it! I have used this five times now to cover grey hair. Not a lot of grey hair, maybe 10-15 percent. I have med brown hair and I use light warm brown. I wash my hair, blow dry it straight (curly girl here) and apply it straight into my hair from the bottle and rub it in. Then I cover with a plastic cap and a hot towel over top and leave it for 2 hours before rinsing out …Read more
