Madison Reed Radiant Hair Color Kit 2NNA Darkest Cool Black - Salon

Our review of the Madison Reed Radiant Hair Color Kit 2NNA (Pescara Black) finds it best suited for someone who wants salon-quality, ammonia-free permanent color at home with strong gray coverage. The single biggest reason to consider this kit is its nourishing, cream-based formula that combines extra pigment and conditioning ingredients like keratin and argan oil to deliver rich, multi-dimensional color while improving hair feel. Many users refresh color every two months, and the kit includes everything needed for an at-home application, making it a convenient option for routine touchups.

Key Features

• SALON-QUALITY, LONG-LASTING COLOR: Produces multi-dimensional results that stay vibrant so hair looks refreshed week after week.
• NOURISHING FORMULA: Infused with keratin, argan oil, and ginseng root extract to help improve hair condition and leave hair feeling soft and smooth.
• 100% GRAY COVERAGE: Expertly blended with extra pigment to cover stubborn grays evenly from roots to ends.
• GENTLE, AMMONIA-FREE CREMA: Dermatologist tested and formulated without ammonia, making it a gentler option for many hair types.
• ALL-IN-ONE KIT: Includes Radiant Cream Color, Conditioning Color Activator, barrier cream, cleansing wipe, gloves, cap, shampoo, conditioner and step-by-step instructions for one complete application.
• SUBSCRIBE & SAVE OPTION: Available for automatic delivery every two months to maintain consistent, fresh color without running out.

Who It's For

The kit is ideal for someone with significant gray who wants dependable permanent coverage and prefers a cream-based, nourishing formula over harsher alternatives. It also suits users who value a complete at-home solution and those who want to space applications out every eight weeks or so.

Those who expect an exact salon replica of a dyed shade should be cautious: a few customers report variations such as slightly warmer or darker results on certain hair bases. If precise color matching or professional correcting is critical, a salon consult may be a better option.
