The box does not tell you that you need to buy both steps in order for it to work. My distributor didn’t sell step two, so I put it on and nothing worked. Don’t recommend this product.

    Thank you for sharing your experience and this very important feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that the box did not clearly communicate the need for both steps for the product to work effectively, and that your distributor didn't stock Step 2. This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers. We understand your frustration completely when a product doesn't perform as expected due to missing crucial information. Your input highlights a significant area for improvement in our packaging and communication, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. This feedback is invaluable as we strive to ensure our product instructions are always clear and comprehensive.

    Great

    I am in the process of transitioning from a brand that tone and lift in one setting. Therefore, I was a little unsure how this product would perform. I did have to use a toner. Otherwise its my go until I find something else. Don't like the fact this product is sold at Sally's.

    Yes, I recommend this product.
