I’ve been a customer since 2016. I loved ESalon because the color was perfect, but mostly because the color covered my gray (actually all white) roots. And it lasted until my hair grew out, about 3 weeks.
Now though…
ESalon said they changed the formula (UGH!) and it is not lasting at all, I am seeing my gray/white come back within 2 weeks. I have always followed the directions, but at this rate, I might as well go back to the drug store formula I was using before. Cheaper and it lasts about as long.
Come on ESalon! You were great in the past. Why change a good thing?

Going on 5 years using your color! I get so many compliments on the shine, the perfect color every time! Everyone is blown away it is not my natural color!
ESalon changed the formula (their admission) and the color does not last as long. Not as shiny as it. Disappointing.

I applied my color about 3 weeks ago, and it is not lasting at all, I am seeing my grey come back and I have followed the directions. I recall my first kit in 2012 and it would last 6 months! Now, it seems to wash out after 3 weeks.

Never going back to the hairdress for colour

I just did my first colour by esalon. Stuck in the Sydney lockdown (10 weeks and counting) and no end in sight. And, I was due for a colour and a cut the day that lockdown started. So I'm 16 weeks past due. The salt and pepper look is OK for men, not my preference though.
I had heard so many horror stories about hair colouring so spent the first time petrified that my hair was going to fall out. It didn't!
I was also able to actually "do things" while I did my hair. No more annoying conversations at the hairdresser. Saved hours of time. Saves lots and lots of dollars.
AND - ended up with a much nicer colour than I ever do in the salon. eSalon contacted me before they mixed my colour and suggested something slightly different. They said it would be too dark otherwise. They were right. And it usually is too dark after a salon visit. After 16 weeks, I'd started to really like the colour that my last salon treatment had faded too.
AND - ended up with my hair feeling so much nicer than it does after a salon.
I've been cutting my own fringe since our lockdown started. I'll now do my own colour. And, when we are finally allowed, I will probably only go to the salon 3-4 times a year to get my layers cut in. Loving the longer look anyway.
I've also told OODLES of my friends and colleagues about you - so I think that traffic is increasing to your site as we speak.
Thanks for rescuing me - and for bringing a life-changing thing. So happy not to waste hours and dollars at a salon again.

Exactly what I wanted

My colorist was on target with creating my perfect color. It came out exactly how I wanted. Coppery dark blonde with red tones but not too red. Perfection. I use to get this color done at a salon and thought there was no way to maintain it at home but now I can touch up my roots when it's convenient for me, maintain my unique signature color and save a ton of money.

Color doesn't last like it used to.

I colored my hair in the past and was actually shocked that it lasted just about 3 months until my next order came in. Now I use it and last 3 weeks maybe not even a month. For that I can buy the cheap stuff and get a good color that covers all my Grey's except doesn't last. If not mistaken cause it's been awhile since I've been using esalon but I could swear the store hair dyes lasted longer then 3 weeks and are under $10.00.

We believe your unique beauty is one of a kind, so it’s only natural that your hair color is too.
At eSalon, a personal colorist crafts a specific color formulation to meet your specific needs and provide you with long-lasting, salon-quality results. They take everything into account: from your color history and percentage of gray, to your hair length.
And voilà, your Color Set arrives at your door, complete with Personalized Instructions for easy at-home application.
How much hair color will I receive?
Each Color Set includes just the right amount of hair color needed to achieve your color goal. That means you’ll receive either one or two bottles depending on your hair length, thickness or desired look. Your colorist will advise how to apply, so you’re all set in that department.
Can I save any remaining color for my next application?
Unfortunately, no. Since every one of our hair color bottles is freshly dispensed (and never sitting on a shelf), we can only guarantee the best results with immediate use.
How do I know if I am selecting the right color in my Color profile?
If you ever have any doubts on your selection, be sure to include a photo of your current color. Your colorist will review your photo and make any adjustments needed. And always feel free to give us a call. We’re available to hear you out and help you out.
How often should I color my hair?
That depends on your gray coverage, vibrancy, hair growth cycle, and overall maintenance. If you are not sure, your colorist can advise on a schedule that will best suit your individual needs.
Do you offer permanent or demi-permanent color?
Yes. Our Permanent hair color provides the longest-lasting results and is recommended for gray coverage or a color with intense tones. Our Demi-Permanent hair color is recommended for those with less than 25% gray hair. Lasting up to 24 washes, it’s ideal for refreshing previously color-treated hair or blending gray in naturally.
It’s simple: With great care comes great color. All of our products contain color-care ingredients that work together to do at least one of the following:
PROTECT
Works to safeguard hair against daily damage and color-fade.
SHIELD
Creates a preventative barrier from external color and cuticle aggressors.
NOURISH
Provides essential nutrients to help maintain radiant health.
REPLENISH
Revitalizes and restores hair back to its natural, happy state.
REINFORCE
Strengthens weakened hair to promote durability for the long run.
