Difference between salon hair dye and store bought dye?

I've always heard that salon dye is SO much better than the dye you but at the store..Is this true or do they just want you to spend $$ ? Does it really damage your hair that much differently? I know neither are good for your hair but how much worse can store bought dye really be for your hair?

I think it's a waist of money. I've been dying my hair for about 4 years now and it looks great and seems to be healthy with all of the good products I use on it...

Thanks !
