    Default Would You Buy Hair Coloring

    From the Dollar Store?

    I am trying to be frugal but I don't think I'd be comfortable buying Hair Coloring from the Dollar Store.
    Would you or have you?

    I would say no. Call me vain but one screwed up dye job is all you need to convince you. Unless someone here has had good exp I sure wouldn't try it.

    I saw some in there the other day. I just shook my head and went to CVS.
    I really don't want to be bald. It was a name I never heard of
    and it wasn't going on my head.

    I have but it was my usual brand and I checked the expiration date too. Hubby colors his mustouche (sp) with that Just For Men stuff and it is $3 in the dollar store compared to $7-$12 in Wally's and drug stores around here. Same thing, just check the expiration date.

    If it was a brand I never heard of? Nope I wouldn't try it.

    This was no brand I'd ever heard of.
    If I find L'oreal there and expiration date was good then I might.
    I had never seen it in the dollar stores before but wasn't really looking either.
    Live and Learn I guess..

    Yeah I would. I figure hair color is like soap or anything else....there are only a few companies that actually make the stuff.

    The hair dye our Dollar Store has is nice and easy....but not much color selection. It is a lot cheaper. I don't get it as they don't have my stuff (born blond bleach and toners for keeping it blond).

    I have and would again. I would not purchase some off brand but the dollar stores here carry, the lower end name brand hair colors and it is good enough for me.
