Great product, but a couple gripes!
3 years ago
I had to switch color lines after 40 years. Ouch. I chose SoColor due to some small previous experience with it, the similarity in use (mixing ratio, predictable level system etc) and the fact that a few of my colleagues use it and could answer some questions made it seem like the best choice. It was a good decision! I wish I would have done it years ago! The availability of so many base tones to choose from makes me feel like when I went from the 24 count box of crayons to the 96 count box as a kid! One of my biggest fears was that "total grey coverage" would leave the hair flat looking, with no highlights, but, so far so good. It also has better color retention/ less fading.
My only gripe is the lack of available education for new users. I'd like to learn more about the different collections (Dream age, etc) The high lift blondes, what the + symbol after level and base means, etc. Just a basic introductory YouTube video would be nice.
Also, where is 3VR?! I have formulated it into some of my brunettes and we love it. Now I'm out and I can't find it!!

this product has changed for the worst this year
a year ago
I used to love Socolor, until the past year. You have changed the formula, and ruined it, just like you ruined your Matrix Sleek Look shampoo and conditioner over the past 15 years. Why do you ruin your products, and make them substandard? I have used the 5G Socolor since 2019, and it had a great golden dark brown color, and covered all of my gray. Now, it has a red tint to it, and it leaves my roots looking like Pippi Longstocking red!! It is also making my scalp itch, which it did not from 2019 to 2023....during that time, I had no complaints. And, it also fades really fast, like a semi-permanent dye now. Matrix does not care about their customers at all. Please change the formula back to the way it was.

I agree that the formula changed for the worst. I used Matrix Socolor for 15 years and when the formula was changed the color no longer lifts the way it did. 9G was perfect with 40 Dev but now it is just no good.

I’ve used Matrix Socolor for over 16 years. Over the years I’ve tried other reputable brands and they don’t come close to Matrix. If you’re just starting to use Matrix, DONT DOUBT YOURSELF,DONT BE AFRAID AND LET EVERY NEW COLOR CLIENT BE YOUR CANVAS. Honestly it’s truly an amazing product and you along with your clients will LOVE THE EXPERIENCE OF MATRIX COLOR.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I love my Matrix line, but....

I love my matrix line but you keep discounting color line and not replacing it with something we can mix to get the color! Like 507C! or the GV lines. Finally get a picky client color figured out and now there is now way to make it or get it to the exact. Do I need to switch to a different line since you keep taking away?
No, I do not recommend this product.
