Cons

Con
Difficult to find outside of Europe

It's difficult to find the product in Canada and the US. Websites that will ship it outside of Europe (like Amazon) usually put quite a markup on the price.

Con
Unpredictable wash out time

The wash time can vary between very few, to quite a lot before the colour disappears (many users say it disappears quite quickly).

Con
Shampoo and Conditioner do not perform

Their shampoo range makes no difference to colour staying time.

Con
Never fade

I had their atomic pink on the ends of my hair and it tinted any color I put over it pink for six months after I dyed it and that was AFTER diluting it with conditioner.
