Brilliant! I have previously used mostly semi permanent reds and pinks so I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of this kit and the lack of mess. I loved the free application kit that came with it, especially the cape and the bowl. My hair had grown out layers of balayage but this dye applied evenly throughout despite this. The dark brown shade came out exactly as expected from the pictures and has left my hair looking shiny and healthy. It covered up with couple of greys I had with ease and didn't even leave a mess in my shower. Overall I am very pleased with the results!
