Mastey's flagship salon "Kasia Organic Hair Salon" has been getting HORRIBLE reviews!!! Not like bad reviews, but like "OH MY GOD I AM GOING TO SUE MASTEY AND THIS SALON" reviews!!!
AVOID THIS COLOR LINE AT ALL COSTS! With so many lines out these days, there is no point in risking this!

The way Mastey makes money is by taking advantage of people who will buy marketing and sales hype without any research! If we can get salon owners and hair color clients to actually care about what theyre putting on their heads, we could get rid of Mastey, or at least stop them from engaging in false advertisement of a dangerous product.
Please read everything Mastey review you can before making the mistake of putting their products on you or your clients heads!

This hair color does not work, irritates the scalp, and requires a great deal of peroxide to produce any lift in the hair color at all. Anyone who knows anything about hair color chemistry can tell you that high amounts of peroxide (anything about 40 volume) will irreparably damage the hair in depleting it of sulfate. This, along with the extraordinary high loads of PTD's in this hair color, make it damaging to my client's hair and health. I wish I did my homework before listening to their marketing hype.

Thank you so much to the ex-employee who is helping to blow the whistle on this cruel, negligent company. Your Mastey review seems to spew experience and credibility, and I dont believe anybody could have written a review like yours without significant experience inside Mastey.
I can absolutely assure everybody that Mastey's Teinture line, as the original author says, is pumped full of PPDs, toxic MEA substitutes, and significant amounts of ammonia. This, coming from a company that claims it is 100% free of all of these...
Recently, I nearly found myself being SUED for my mistake in believing Mastey's claims. I only wish I came across a Mastey review such as this one before giving one cent of my money to this reckless "company".
I was first draws to Mastey from a similar line called Organic Color Systems. I went over to Teinture after being convinced by their spamming, lying marketing department that is was, as the original author said, "The Worlds First Zero-Ammonia, PPD and MEA free hair color". I began phasing the new line in, and remember thinking, "This is great for how safe its ingredients are!". BOY WAS I WRONG!
About 4 weeks after I began using Mastey Teinture, I gave one of my regular, long standing clients a cut and color. You could have even called us fairly close friends. Not anymore! This client is allergic to both ammonia and PPDs, which is why she came to my salon when I used Organic Color Systems. The first time I used Mastey Teinture on her hair, she began coughing, sneezing, complaining of scalp and eye irritation...I ran her to my washing station and ran water over her head as she was struggling for breathe and vision while her scalp was burning. We may have overreacted, but this visit ended up in an ambulance and a trip to the hospital. The next day, I was getting all sorts of legal threats and the like. I dont blame her! I would have sued if I were her! And I would have sued Mastey if that client and I didnt settle the issue before it escalated to there.
Im sorry I went on typing for so long, but Mastey should not be able to do this to people. We can only hope for a class action lawsuit against these negligent people and spread the word to try to prevent this from happening to anybody else. Thanks again so much to the original author, an ex-employee who had the courage to blow the whistle on the danger Mastey poses to the hair industry.
For further reading and proof - See this blog article's comments - Mastey EXECUTIVES come in and blatantly lie about their products. Thankfully, they are told off by educated salon owners and hairstylists, but this shows the real intent of the companies executives. They even become hostile at one point when being told they are building a marketing campaign based on lying about their ingredients. http://www.green-talk.com/2010/02/02/organic-color-systems-wash-those-grays-away-with-a-safer-hair-color
If this review keeps one person safe from Mastey's dangerous, fraudulent, and toxic products and business practices...I think we have done our job
