Hair color question (Would love an answer from a a professional hair dresser)?

Question

I had my hair dyed red at a salon, they told me the color was 7RR. I now want to re dye it as it is fading but I would much rather have a go at it myself than spend the big bucks again at the salon. I went to Sally's Beauty and they have a couple of 7RR's in different brands, and at walmart I even saw a box of Clairol 7RR. So my question is are all of these the same color essentially?

Update:

Thanks Katie, that is the brand I ended up getting. I got #20 developer is that correct? (That's what # they told me to get at Sally's)

my bet is that they will be almost same,but not always,i have know many who have used dyes,changing brands isn't advisable for many reasons,ask you parlor what brand they used,and buy the same

Essentially they are the same (or supposed to be) but every brand uses different ingredients, therefore the colour turns out slightly different for each. Your best bet is to ask someone at Sally's to compare them to your hair colour or ask the salon that you went to.
