NZ hair dye in America?

April 27, 2011 7:16 PM

Where can I get this Schwarzkopf hair dye in America?

I studied abroad in New Zealand last year, and LOVED this hair dye: Schwarzkopf Brilliance Luminance Ultra Violet. I used it a bunch on the underside of my hair and after being a redhead for a year, would like to dye my hair with this again once my hair grows out. Problem is, I can't find this hair color anywhere or online that ships to America.

Its available currently online at The Warehouse, but it doesn't ship to America (http://www.thewarehouse.co.nz/red/catalog/product/Schwarzkopf-Brilliance-Luminance-Ultra-Violet?SKU=1161526).

How else/where else can I purchase this exact hair dye color in America?

(For reference the number is L60)

It looks like you might be able to find it on Ebay Australia, although shipping isn't cheap.

You could try other Australian retailers - if it's available in NZ it's likely available in Australia too.

If you're really desperate and can't find an alternative, I'm happy to buy it here (Australia) and ship it to you after I've received it, but the postage would probably cost you more than the dye itself.

(Upon reading the fine print here, they ship internationally. Might be worth emailing them for a quote?)

Brilliance is a retail box color, in America Schwarzkopf only retails shampoo and styling aids, their color is strictly professional, salon only, available from a distributor/ representative who ask to see your beauty license.

the vivids violet may be the shade effect you need.

The numbering is slightly different but this site has Luminance (as well as Live Color XXL) and the live color website lists L76 as ultra violet - does it look like the same shade? Might give you something else to search for.

I use some Got2b products and I think it's the same company although I am not sure about dye specifically. This site might help.

If all else fails, ask them.
