  • I loved the color and I knew what to do with it so no complaints (there are stains to expect etc)
It lasts a very very long time. Love it. Non damaging. Easy application. Just follow the directions. Don’t complain about the color on things because I just warned you. It’ll stain a bit but it doesn’t last long. Just don’t over apply if you have shorter hair. Use just as much to paint it. No more no less. If it’s much manic panic has a shampoo to cleanse. It helps. Just so you know. I’m not a paid spokesperson lol just a fan. It’ll stain. Especially if you over color. Read the other reviews too. They got it right. ... show more

  • Perfect vibrant red!
I am a huge manic panic fan. I have tried almost every color. My favorites are all of their reds and pinks. They last a long time for me- I only wash my hair about once a week. It is a bit difficult when you first start using this product because you have to make sure to not get this dye on anything because it does stain very easily. ... show more

  • Comes off on EVERYTHING.
I usually use Manic Panic Vampire Red but it was sold out so I tried Pillarbox. I had a touch of Vampire Red left so I used that on the top and the Pillarbox on the rest. The color is close, but a little more muted/faded. I could have lived with that for now. However, the color comes off on EVERYTHING. The side of my face and neck are hot pink. My sheets are hot pink. My shirts and jackets are hot pink. I have washed my hair several times and it's still bleeding. I am positive it is only this color bleeding because my forehead next to the Vampire Red is not pink. I've never had a problem with Manic Panic bleeding like this before. Nothing else has changed since the last time I dyed my hair except the color that I used. Will not ever use this color again - I will wait for Vampire Red. ... show more

  • hair has been red for months and my bathroom is stained
did not leave my head.. its been over 2 months and it wont leave, i went over with a purple and its still there. the pics are 2 months apart from when i first dyed it to when i havent touched it for the duration of that time, i wash my hair daily, the ends of my hair were bleached before i colored it and the brown is my natural hair that was colored but it washed out from there, it completely stained my bathroom, if you do this be prepared for a pink scalp, pink counter, pink bath, and my dog turned pink..? i really like it, i did order pillarbox red but it turned very very pink. USE MAGIC ERASER (it works) ... show more

  • Vibrant colors wash after wash
The color is very vibrant initially and even after a few washes the color is pretty decently bright. For a semi permanent dye, the color stays for a decent time at a good hue

  • Love the color, but it gets everywhere
I really love the bright red color — Pillarbox Red came out super vibrant and exactly what I wanted. It left my hair soft and shiny too, which is a big plus. The only downside is that it bleeds onto everything for the first few washes — towels, pillowcases, even shirts if my hair’s a little damp. Definitely use dark towels and pillowcases until it settles. Personally, I had to buy a silk bonnet. Still, the color payoff is amazing, so I’d buy it again, just with extra caution! ... show more

  • Bleeds
I've colored my hair for years and many fun and funky colors and Manic Panic is my go-to but this red was absolutely horrible. It bled and bled and even after a month and a half of where it still would bleed. If you want all of your clothes and towels and anything that touches you to be red then go ahead and use this product ... show more
