box color way wrong
nothing like color on the box, turned into a reddish brown on bleached fresh base, nothing like the purple shown in the pictures and only eligible for in store return... tell me how that makes sense.
From Garnier Consumer Care team

Results can vary based on your hair’s starting shade and history, including recent bleaching. We understand your frustration with the return restriction; please contact Garnier Consumer Care at 800-4GARNIER M-F 9:00 am – 5:30 pm ET with the shade and lot code so our team can look into your experience.

Not violet
Turned my hair red instead of purple. Originally had a purple hair dye that faded out and applied this directly on top. No previous bleach. If you're looking for an actual purple, this is not the one.

The worst science fair ever...
I was NOT ready for this much of disappointment. I was a little skeptical because of the all white ingredients, but the color srarted changing. Not into the promised dark violet but an ugly red, orange color. This was for an important science fair project that is due in a few days and we HAD to finish it today. But because we chose to use this hair dye so we might be in a little bit of a pickle. I would NOT recommend even to my worst enemy. I am super disappointed in garnier. I got pink and not purple. I was lied to. Pray for me that I don't get an F on this project.

Not purple, very red!
I fought for a year to get red out of my hair after a bad extension situation and finally got my hair back to purple. Got this as a more permanent solution for my purple and it turned my hair red. Now i have to go through the process all over again Quit selling this as purple when it is not!

Garnier Nutrisse V2 Dark Intense Violet is not violet
This dye was pink in the "V2 Dark Intense Violet" and did not make the brown hair violet in any way. It came out pink. Do not purchase.

Excellent Product, Consistent Color
Excellent OTC product and have used for years. Since I have gray hair, I pre-soften my temples or dye twice, just in that area. If needed, I add a few drops of Gray Magic to the mixed product. I am a licensed cosmetician.

Only giving it a 3 because I like this brand as a whole, but the color is so inaccurate. It’s so hard to find a true purple/violet/plum in box dyes, & this is just like those. This color is BURGUNDY & faded VERY red.

V2 Dark Intense Violet Lacks Color Accuracy
COLOR ACCURACY! V2 Dark Intense Violet. My hair’s dirty blonde so figured hair be similar to lighted purple. Instead the color is RED! Like Auburn/Burgandy Red No a shade of purple to be seen. I’ve included a collage of before, after, & what should been.
From Garnier Consumer Care team
Hi Kelly, thank you for sharing your detailed feedback and experience with Nutrisse V2 Dark Intense Violet. We are so sorry to hear that instead of a purple tone, your dirty blonde hair turned out a red/auburn shade with no violet in sight! Starting with a dirty blonde base means your hair has natural underlying warm golden and yellow pigments. When a dark violet dye is applied over lighter or warm-toned hair, those underlying warm pigments can interact with the color molecules, causing the result to lean heavily toward a red or burgundy hue rather than a cool violet. We'd like to assist you with this, please call us at 1- 800-442-7643 available Monday-Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM ET.

The color came out very wrong
I got the violet it and it turned out Burgundyish
From Garnier Consumer Care team
Hey Kaitlyn! Thank you for reaching out about your experience with Nutrisse V2 Dark Intense Violet. We are so sorry to hear that the color pulled more burgundy than the vibrant violet you were expecting! Hair color results can vary quite a bit depending on your starting hair color, your natural underlying pigments, and how long the color was processed. Often, dark violet shades interact with underlying warm tones in the hair, which can cause the result to lean more toward a red or burgundy hue. We would like to help you with this, please call us at 1- 800-442-7643 available Monday-Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM ET.

BR2 dark intense burgundy
spotty on color, makes hair darker (dyed on virgin light/dark brown hair) acts more of a tint than actually dying how it is supposed to on the box wich is a vibrant purplish burgundy
From Garnier Consumer Care team
Oh no Sierra, we are so sorry to hear that your color didn't turn out like the vibrant purplish burgundy you were hoping for! There is nothing more disappointing than waiting for a bold look and ending up with a subtle tint instead. Nutrisse Ultra Color BR2, Dark Intense Burgundy (Passion Fruit) has dark, intense burgundy reflects. and is best for anyone with natural hair between medium brown and black. While we don’t know why you aren’t seeing the results you were hoping for, if you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 800-442-7643 9 AM to 5:30 PM ET M – F

Does not cover grays!
Very disappointed in this product. The smell is extremely strong, my hair even after applying the conditioner that comes with the box of color was falling out in clumps. This absolutely DOES NOT COVER GRAYS! I used the deep violet color and my roots are an awkward shiny pink and the rest of my hair looks brown no hint of purple let alone intense violet. The product raves about it's amazing gray coverage on the box but don't be fooled you're going to walk around looking like a circus clown. I followed the instructions exactly as they were printed. Do yourself a favor and buy a more expensive product that actually delivers on it's promises. I only bought this because my usual brand was out of stock. Never again that's for sure!
