While every study has different requirements, all In-Salon studies will include at least one visit to our onsite research salon. Appointment times typically range from 1-3 hours, though some check-back appointments require less time. Occasionally studies may include longer appointment times. Panelist requirements will be clearly explained prior to study enrollment.
At-Home Consumer Studies:
This option is available to anyone located in the continental United States! Products tested include shampoos, conditioners, leave-in treatments, and styling products. These are mailed directly to your home for you to test on your own. You will provide feedback on the products & your usage experience via online surveys.
At-Home Consumer studies typically range from 1 to 4 weeks in length and involve completing self-administered online questionnaires at various timepoints during the duration of the study. Honest, thoughtful, and detailed responses are important when providing your feedback and opinions of the test products.
