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.

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.
