Rated 5 out of 5 by from wow! what a difference I was able to achieve my clients blonding goals while maintaining the hair’s integrity

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Amazing I love the fast processing and the way this leaves the hair feeling amazing and healthy and you don't mix into color. The only thing I don't like is that you have to dampen the hair which if you want a dry canvas for your color process, you have to spend time drying the hair which takes away from the fast processing time, other than that i have zero complaints.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Never going back! I absolutely love this product! Especially before color services. It creates a perfect canvas each and every time. My reds last longer, my blondes are shinier and healthy. My only negative comment would be the scent. K18 is so great about not adding any perfume scents to their products. However, my clients do tend to dislike the scent and I often find myself apologizing because of it. At this point, it won’t cause me to stop using it because it has become a necessity in my tool box.
