For years my colorist used Wella on my hair, it was nice.

But, then she switched to L'Oreal, and it is amazing! So I guess I am no help, except to say Wella was good, too, just not as good as L'Oreal

I used to go to a salon that uses Wella, but I found the color to fade after about 2 months (color either washed off, or changed color from what it originally was--got brassy). Note however, the color I had was red; and red coloring in general does not last on most hair types.

I have never used Loreal, so I cannot comment on comparisons between that and Wella. I have heard good things about Redken, and it is a reputable hair product brand, so I would not expect it to deliver bad results.

Is it possible that you can buy this color from a beauty supply store and take it to you to the new salon when you get your hair colored? My hairdresser uses Redken color on my hair and it is beautiful. I like the colors so maybe you should try a new one. As long as you are not going very dark I doubt if any color will mess up light hair.
Good luck.

I used to dye my hair red and coincidentally, used both Wella and Redken. I found Wella to last longer (at least as long as red dye can, it's the one that fades the fastest), but it also dried up my hair a lot. Redken was fantastic, no stench, no damage, nice colours.. but it washed off very quickly. Keep in mind Wella has a strong chemical smell.

If you'd been using L'Oreal, I'd recommend to go with Redken. They're both gentle, only I think Redken is a bit better.
