Wording on instructions

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

First-time use of this product. It seems fine so far.

The only issue I had was with your instructions to snap off the top of the applicator cap. I worked on it for several minutes until I took a really good look at the lid and realized it was a twist-off.

Your packaging people need to fix the wording.

Hair dye totally different than what’s on the box

Garnier - Hair dye totally different than what’s on the box
Garnier - Hair dye totally different than what’s on the box - Image 2

My name is Mindy Chambers. I dyed my hair today; it was supposed to be caramel blonde, and it was definitely not caramel blonde.

It turned my hair a bluish gray. I've been doing my hair for close to 20 years and have never had the color this wrong. I'm not sure how you guys got the color this far off. I have pictures of what color it was supposed to be and what color it came out as, but I'm not seeing how to attach them to this message.

So if you could send me a link or something so I can send you these pictures, it's unbelievable how my hair turned out. I'm extremely unhappy!!! And of course, my loving husband so kindly says, 'What happened to your hair?!' Like I wasn't already pissed off and in tears. Thank you, Mindy Chambers.

You can't post email addresses on this site. Did you check to see if the correct bottle was in the box?

Eons ago when I was a pre-teen, me and my friends use to switch out bottles of hair dye. It is possible someone did that, if that bottle was not the one that was supposed to be in box.

Good evening, I am a long-term customer with your company, I have gotten your hair color many times over the years and I have always had dark colors either brown black or purple it has not been very often that I have gone outside of my comfort zone I have recently started dying my hair back for a little over the past couple of months from growing it out to my natural color!! I have been doing the same dark ultra bold violet coloring!!

This time when I got the same box I got a much different turn out my hair is now a vibrant deep red witch i absolutely hate and is driving me crazy!!!

What can i do to fix this?? I would included pictures but therr is no option for that!!

User's recommendation: Make sure you pay attention to what's in the box!! I bought the same purple I was do and for some reason it turned out a dark vibrant red

Some teenagers could have switched the color bottle with another box. My friends and I use to do that. Make sure the box isn't tampered with before buying and carefully check the color bottle.

Garnier - Awful horrendous performance

I used their Nutrisse medium blonde, and not only was it not blonde, my hair is damaged. I lost hair in the shower in clumps.

I don't know how I can fix this disaster. No one should buy this product again.

Product didn’t mix when all ingredients were added stuck inside applicator

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I've bought your product for years! The last couple of boxes were old and didn't mix together.

I had to open it and put it on my hand and the ingredients came out uneven on my hair, and got on my skin and dyed it. I'm not buying your products anymore.

Nutriese Color 100

To whom it may concern

This product did nothing but turn the root & top reddish orange. For the money I paid, this is the worst product.

Please see what you can do. In the meantime, I'll have to figure out what to do.

Thank you

Garnier Nutriese 100 - Chamomile

Have not heard anything as side from sending my information about product and my address.

It turned the top of my hair red/orange. Now, I have to pay a lot of money to get it fixed.

I would like a total refund in the amount $11.99

Your product is a total rip off.

I am reporting you to the better business bureau

Thank you

Hair orange on top

To whom it may concer:

Never received a response. Turned hair red/orange color on top.

Not sure, what to do now. Wasted money on the product. I will never use this stuff again.

I used in previous years, and had no problems.

It would be nice to get some kind of response or a refund. I am extremely disapppointed.

Thank you

Chemical burn

Garnier - Chemical burn
Garnier - Chemical burn - Image 2

Hi there,

I used your product and I got a really bad chemical burn from it and its been over a week that I have been suffering from these burns and they havent healed at all, Im going to my doctor tomorrow to try and get something to help me recover from this. I am in a lot of pain and I need something to be done about this.

This shouldnt have happened and Im extremely upset and hurting. So what will you do to make this right? I have attached photos for reference. I will also add that I dont ever get any acne, my skin is always very good.

These started as bumps that then turned into blisters and eventually spread. It is extremely painful.

Thanks,

Kelsie

I dyed my hair, the new V2 shade, which is supposed to be a purple shade and instead it turned my hair, fire engine red like Ronald McDonald

I contact them to let them know their newest shade that is advertised as a violet turned my hair full of resin fire retardant red. I look absolutely ridiculous now I have to pay to get my hair fixed.

I called them and they gave me a $10 coupon to get a new color, what about the money? Im gonna have to pay to get my hair fixed?

Or at least the money to pay for an oops color fixer? What an absolute embarrassment I will never be going to this company again was with them 10 years and will never be going back.

Conflictin info on product and severe burning to face due to wrong info

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Vitamin C Anti Dark Spot Brightening Serum. DO NOT FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS ON THE BOX OR WEBSITE.

Unless you want to burn your skin. Both give conflicting information on the frequency of use but both suggest using 1 FULL dropper. DO NOT USE THIS AMOUNT, YOU WILL REGRET IT AND GARNIER WILL NOT LISTEN WHEN YOU COMPLAIN. Their customer service is shocking, trying to tell me I must be confused with another product.

I am looking at the product details, I am not wrong, Garnier! Do not buy it.
