I have naturally blonde hair, and a few years ago i got bored with it and decided i needed a change. I bought manic panic haircolour in hot hot pink. The colour was amazing but faded WAY to quickly. I got sick of having to redo my hair all the time so i decided to just bleach it out. Then i met a guy who had bright green hair, and his didn't fade at all. I asked him what he used, and when he told me about punky's, i decided to give pink another shot. I had never heard of it before, and i'm so glad i was told about it. I now have Punky's "Rose red" and i absolutely LOVE IT! The colour lasts so much longer than anything else, even on my hair that doesn't really hold colour all that well. Now, if only punky's had Perminent haircolour....
The best color ever!

My natural hair color is between a level 1 or 2 (meaning theat i can never ever achieve that white blond color that most hair colors require to work) and I have tried almost every product available for the intense non-natural colors. Most of them don't last long (Manic Panic being the worst offender), or look muddy in the areas where the color lifts only to a level 7 or 8 (Raw Color does this horribly). I tried Jerome Russell with some trepidation because it was inexpensive and the packaging looks cheap. Boy was I suprised!
The color is clear and the difference in prelightening actually accents the color giving great vibrancy with tones and highlights. It is healthier that I thought possible and I have the coolest hair ever! I have used it for 5+ years (bleaching my hair ever 8-10 weeks and changing color) and I have never had condition issue with the follicle.
The long and short is that Jerome Russell rocks! Definately worth it!
Awesome For People Who Can't Dye Their Hair

Punky Colour by far has been awesome for me as I have sensitive skin and break out with Dermititis if I dye my hair. I've never had any problems with Punky Colour making my skin break out whatsoever and the color stays in my hair for about a week looking natural. A+++
Best Demi-Hair Color I've Used

I've dyed my hair A LOT. Used Manic Panic - Color Jamz - Special Effects - Color Jazzing - RAW, But I really dont think any of them could compare to Jerome Russells " Punky Colors " Not too long ago I went back to " Sallys Beauty Supply " and sadly noticed they were not carrying it anymore. When I stumbled Upon this site I was simply overjoyed. This Hair dye lasts the longest. Funny thing is I got the Jerome Russle "Punky Professional" Demi-Permanant hair color. I havent been able to find it any wheres else. When I used Raw hair dye I didnt think I could ever find a color so vibrant and outstanding, but Punky Colors proved me wrong. I deff. Reccomend this hair dye and think Hot Topic should start selling this product. Places like Rite Aid should as well. And the price is GREAT!
So many good reviews, little deliverance.

I am not very satisfied with this hair color. I used Flame on my boyfriend's hair, and it came out orange. Not red in the least. I used Coral Red on my hair... I ended up dying it twice, since it looked light orange at first... and now my hair is a bright orange color. I'm fine with my results... but do not use Coral Red unless you want orange hair. Beware of Flame! Not red at all!
if you're in doubt about what to use. . .

. . .use this product. i have really blond hair and was highly concerned about the stuff staying in TOO long (!), but i did i little patch test (very important if you're not sure) and i only left the stuff on for 20 minutes. flamingo pink is my color. . .it was really bright after i first did it, but then it toned down after awhile, and it's going away fast enough that i trust it won't stay in my hair forever! yay! (i have a job starting in august and i can't have pink hair then). easy to use product, and it smells like some flavor of those sniffable '80's markers *yum*. if you're as cautious as i am about screwing up my hair, go with this product. just be careful and patch test and wear gloves, etc., and you'll figure it out. and it didn't screw my hair up at all--still as healthy as it was beforehand.
brilliant product

I've tried about about 4 other temporary dyes like this, but this is my favorite. I've tried paintbox, raw, and special effects, and manic panic. Punky color is easier to get out of the container, since its in a jar and the others i've tried were in squeeze bottles. It is the best smelling dye i've used...it smells kind of like grapes. The color fades as fast as any other dye, depending on how often you wash your hair. I found that if you add some dye to your shampoo and conditioner, it really intensifies the color and prolongs it. I'm hooked on this product! It's fabulous!
10 out of 5. by far.

this hair color is the BEST hair color i have ever used. i have tried everything you can imagine for a deep, vibrant European-style shade of red--i've even used salon color + vibrant paintbox colors like Fudge--and this one kicks every single ass. i have been using it for as long as i can imagine... probably about 5 years. it is especially great on thick, porous hair (this is what my hair is like naturally) with alot of texture. absolutely a 10 out of 5! *kisses Jerome Russell*

PUNKY HAIR COLOR "TURQUOISE"

I love the punky hair color turquoise. There is no other color on the market that colors better. Other color lines color too dark or too pale. This color is just right just enough blue with green. It dosent look like a hair mistake, like a lot of other pros' try to produce on their clients. This is the next best thing to your own custimized color. I just whish that this color was more avalible in my neck of the woods. When i cant find it mixing the LAGOON BLUE with GREEN APPLE is just as good!

My daughter has had several different colors of hair in the past. The problem that we have is that the colors always fade within a week or two. What started out as bright blue is a faded green in no time. We tried plum from Folica and it is the brightest and prettiest color we have used yet. It has been two weeks since we put the color on and it looks as good as it did the day we did it. We love it!

This hair dye, for me anyway, lasts at least 5 weeks. The color stays and barely fades at all. The color is also better then anything I have used in my hair before. This is now the only dye I will use to get the totally awesome color I crave!!!
Brilliant colour!!

Let me say this loud and clear... I HATED THIS PRODUCT THE FIRST THREE WEEKS AFTER DYING! But, then, I was born again into this fabulous land of color and all was well... sort of. I used Flamingo Pink in hopes of getting something resembling... well... the color pink. Not so much. (Thus my initial distaste for this product.) It grew on me, though, and by week four I was loving it. Everything they tell you is true: it spells WAY better than that ammonia STENCH other products give off, it turns your bathroom into a crime scene, and you will be pink to the elbows without proper protection! (Words of advice: TAPE UP YOUR HAIR LINE, WEAR GLOVES TO YOUR SHOULDERS, and GET SOME DARN NAIL POLISH REMOVER... you'll be rubbing it into EVERYTHING.) There really is no easy or neat way to do it... slab it on your head and hope for the best. Oh, yes, I almost forgot! The first picture is about a month after dying... still strong and vibrant as ever. The second picture is about three months after, slowly returning to the brassy orange bleach stage I had pre-dye. Overall, I'm happy with it... but it's not PINK, you know? More like... Lacey from Rock of Love meets a little Jstar...

Excellect product! I love it. I ONLY buy this brand. I tried buying other hair dyes such as Maniac Panic dye, and other brands, none of those last long on my hair, maybe a day, one wash, but once I found punky colour, reds, vermillion red, I only buy punky, because the dye lasts atleast 8 washes for me, it may be longer for other hair textures, and thats alot. I bought $30 bucks worth because I love it so much.

I had ordered the color Flame which looked to me on the website to be a shade of deep red, but when it arrived, the contents of the jar was clearly orange. However, the shipment and return policy was exceptional.
Pretty on hair, but BEWARE...

I purchased the Poppy Red and Flamingo Pink with red and pink stripped intentions for Valentine's Day. My hair is previously bleached dyed back darker brown. My stripes did not turn out as hoped, but had an interesting effect anyways (I did not bleach out again before applying). The pink was not as intense as the red, but both had a very pretty highlighting effect. The application was relatively easy (I used a tint brush the first time, gloved fingers the second), and the wait time/washout time was not too bad. My only issue with this product is the fact that, although it is a temporary washout color, BEWARE! My skin (on my fingers, face, ears, neck, and everything else that got wet in the shower during the washout process) became a sunburn tint of pink. This was not too bad the first time I colored, but the second application has left the pink tinted skin for about a week now and has tinted a couple of shirt collars (fortunatly they were not my favorite shirts). Even though the water ran clear during the washout, the dye is continuing to rub off my skin and run out of my hair little by little and I'm still waiting to return to normal. My shower is also still quite pink from my first application on Feb. 13, but is cleaning off slowly. I would probably purchase this product again, but would definately experiment with other products first. The color variety is great and the price is right. Just be sure to rinse out VERY WELL before assuming it is o.k. to put on your favorite white shirt! (Another possibility would be to bring it to a salon and have it professionaly applied.)

This dye is the best one I have used to dye my hair purple. I had tried 5 times before to get the bright purple I wanted and failed miserably, this stuff was easy and it came out a very nice shade of purple. Thank you!
My favorite color is PLUM.
Punky Colour

I love the punky violet #1428. I get compliments on my hair all the time. It even colors grey! I am pleased with the ease of the application. The first time I used the semi-perminent color I bleached the hair I wanted to color. But, after that I have been able to just put it on all the way to the scalp and it covers.
I only have one negative thing to say about Punky Colours, and that is the purple #1448 is really not purple in color when you put it on. It is more of a fuchsia (red/brite pink). The violet #1428 is right on.
I would like to return the purple #1448 and exchange it for violet #1428 if at all possible.
Thanks Purple Susan

I've used so many other dyes before and they all have alcohol in them and dry my hair to poop and my hair is dry enough but now that I've finally found somewhere I can get more than just the reds greens and blues I won't use anything else Punky is the best N'rage and Manic Panic don't last nearly as long and are bad on my hair I won't use anything else I've been using punky since I was 16. . . so for 4 years now! I love it!
