I have been getting my hair colored at a salon which uses Aveda Hair color but they have raised their prices in the last few months. This is the only salon which uses this product. I have found a great hair dresser who does a great cut for half the cost and will color my hair for about 10 dollars less using Matrix hair color. Does anyone know how Matrix will treat my hair? will it damage? Money is so tight right now and I'm trying to cut back where I can. Between the cut and color I will save 40 bucks a month.

Thank you for the help.
