Rated 5 out of 5 by from Time Saver Add On Excellent product for speeding up processing times of your hair colors. Follow directions on label. Ive been using this for about 18 years now and I can't live without it. Easy to use. No smell. No waste and it can be used with any hair color line. I highly recommend it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from LOVE Can't live without it. Pricey but worth it. Adjust formulas for warmth though. I literally can get clients in and out in half the time of my regular cut and color service.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Wish I’d starting using them years ago! Can’t live without this ever again! It helps cover grays and speeds up the processing so much. Better/faster w/cap and heat but still works really well without. They’re pretty pricey though so that’s why I can’t give 5 stars
