Like so many I decided to try and color my hair during covid salon closures. Escalon is excellent if you have a darker color than your natural or want to match your natural to cover grays. Unfortunately, I wanted to lighten my natural a lot because I have heavy blonde highlights— this is just not a realistic expectation with at home color. I cannot stress enough DO THE STRAND TEST FIRST... if you don’t like the shade, they are more than happy to send you out something different. The customer service is excellent.
While the color is beautiful, my grays aren't completely colored even if I leave the color in for over 30 minutes. Also difficult to get even color throughout even if I feel that I have distributed the color evenly.
I absolutely love the color and tone… And feel like what I received, was what I expected exactly. The only disappointment I have is that I found it did not cover my grays very well… I do not have a ton of grays but it didn't cover the ones that I have.
This was a little tricky to master at the beginning of coloring my own hair, but once I watched the videos and started it went great. My stylist did an amazing job matching my normal hair color to get rid of my grays! So very happy !!
had multiple communications, some were challenging as it takes a little more than three weeks for it to ship, so people forget the last communication and you would need to make it clear to give them the history of your communications.
other than that I love the latest color, one thing for sure that it doesn't fade away quickly and that is a great added value, the color itself is rich and covered all my grey hair. I couldn't be more satisfied with the color.
I will definitely continue use esalon and I don't see a reason why I should stop!
I think I initially indicated I want to mainly cover grey, but then after 2 or 3 times, I wanted to change my color, and go lighter and covering the grey became less of an issue for me, I changed my color, applied it, and it's not any lighter, it looks the same as my first color. so, if you want to change your reason for coloring hair, it's not easy to change tracks. I'd like to start over, and play around with different colors. The first time I colored, i think I used too much stain guard and my hairline didn't take the color. this last time, I didn't use stain guard at all, have no stains and my hairline roots are good.
I got so excited to try my customised hair colour.
I really like how easy it was to follow and liked the smell and the way it felt on and after; not tacky or itchy as it sometimes does after the salon. The only down side is I have really tough grey hairs ; especially on the side of my head near my ears and even after repeating the roots the day after they are still there ...so a little bit disappointed as I was hoping to replace using esalon rather than a salon 😕
I love the color. It's exactly what I asked for. The only downfall in this set were the gloves. They were too small, very thin, and they broke easily. I'm also not sure they were non latex.
Easy to use, excellent instructions and salon color results.
One exception is the shipping of the product. Of the 3 I have receiced so far, one came leaking and was not useable and another got lost in the mail. Each were replaced free of charge. However, if you are waiting on the product to color your hair for an event so you look freshly colored, I recommend having an extra on hand.

I thought for the price why not give it ago OMG normally when I have a medium blonde it the colour goes to dark for my liking this time I love the colour I usually use supermarket buys but I'm converted will deffinetly be buying again
I’m a 45 yo blonde that over the years has slowly faded to a medium/dark blonde (natural). I go every 4 months to a salon and for $160 plus tip they do a lovely job cutting, highlighting and blowing out my head full of curly-wavy hair. This year under COVID time, for the first time in my life I decided to try it myself bc it looked blah. I sent in photos of myself and answered the survey questions. The response came back that the colourist would recommended altering the colour slightly bc mine was maybe too warm. I went for it. It was a perfect match!! Blended so seamlessly that it looks so natural you barely notice a difference other then the ‘perk’ it adds to my natural to keep it from looking mousey dark-medium blonde. I am very pleased and will never got to a salon for colouring again. I have done it 2x now with esalon and both times perfect!!
I have not received any products, any package,any shipment, from e-Salon since march 2020. Please ship the September package and the product ordered a few days ago as soon as possible. Thank you very much. Edda Vila
I found this very east to use. Hair was beautiful after process, I just wish the formula was darker. My roots did not take on the same shade as the rest of my hair
The color is nice but since I started using this product my hair seems so dry. Keep conditioning but it still seems very dry. Not sure if I will continue using this product.
The product is top notch!! Left my hair smooth, shiny and in great condition.
With that being said your website is hard to navigate!!! I want to add some highlights .....couldn’t figure out how to order it from your website or even reference your colored hair swatch chart ......wtf!
I’m not a novice on the internet ...why so difficult?!?!
This colour is not only salon worthy but has also saved me a pretty penny! Easy to follow instructions, efficient service with great results. The only reason I didn’t give 4 stars was because the colour fades pretty rapidly (although I still love the faded colour) possibly because it’s the summer?
Easy and convenient I chose to use the bottle and brush method and followed the steps by step instructions which are persis, and I love it!! I will be getting additional conditioner next time though I felt that my hair was not as soft or as hydrated as when I get it done in the salon.
The colour and condition of my hair have never been this good. It’s the best dye I’ve ever used. Although it’s more expensive than a over the counter dye it’s worth ever penny.
I’ve never liked coloring my own hair. It always turns out too brassy. I never could find the right color or brand on the shelf that I liked. I’ve had my hair colored professionally for many years. With COVID I had to decide to let my hair go or do something. I saw eSalon on Facebook. Thought I’d try it. I wanted strawberry blonde. The first formulary they sent was too red. It was a combination of dark blonde, red and copper. I was scared but tried it. Not happy with my hair. But, I gave them feedback and they adjusted the amounts of each color. I’m very happy this time. I wish I felt more confident doing the back of my head. It will take practice I’m thinking.
I really like the ease of doing my own hair color, but the past two times, it doesn’t seem to cover my gray as good or as long. I have been leaving the color on for 40 minutes instead of 30 minutes as suggested and that doesn’t work either. I am wondering if the formula has changed.
Hair color or developer is causing my entire scalp to itch horribly. I realized this was what caused the problem when I used my old hair color and developer and had no itching.
Color is great. Just what I wanted. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because it fades quickly. My hair is dark. It fades to reddish, orangish and I don’t like that.
NOW ON MY 4TH APPLICATION OF DARK BLOND AND I HAVE HAD GOOD RESULTS, BUT I FEEL THE
COLOR NEEDS HIGHLIGHTS. UNFORTUNATELY ESALON NEVER HAS THE BALAYAGE IN STOCK AND YOU CAN'T PREORDER IT. AT LEAEST SAVE A CLIENTS REQUEST AND FULFILL IT WHEN THE PRODUCT IS AVAILABLE SO ONE DOSEN'T HAVE TO KEEP CALLING. FRUSTRATING!
My hair is shinier and full since using your product, however, the only worry that I have is that it contains ammonium hydroxide which many salons do not use anymore. I am concerned that overtime, my hair will get brittle and weak. I only use this product on my roots but love the end result.
During the pandemic I really needed to refresh my hair color. I tried Madison Reed and loved the color and condition of my hair after coloring. I miss the brush being in the kit. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.
The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars and not 5 is that I have short hair and really don't need 20oz. Wish they had a 10oz option (or a kit with two 10oz options. I struggled to get the gloves on as well as they were very tight. I do like that 2 sets of gloves and very detailed instructions are provided. Also like the "mist" bottle provided for in-between colorings (although I haven't used it yet).
NOW...For the second time there are NO gloves in the order!!! I had not heard a word earlier when it was missing one pair of gloves...but luckily we are in the Covid world and I had to use my emergency gloves. Very disappointing!!!
This order is missing a pair of gloves... only one was included.
Covered all my grey edges which frame the front of my face completely. It was a little more red than I wanted. But I was able to tell the Colorist to tone down the red and increase the blonde.
Love e salon hair color but would like to reduce red undertones if possible. I do naturally have some reddish undertones so not sure if it’s possible to do this.
I love the color ad ease of use. However, the main reason for coloring my hair was to cover my grays. The color was great for about a week but then the grays started to show again. It's not terrible by any means, but I was a bit disappointed that they resurfaced so soon.
I have always loved the Esalon experience. I can custom color my hair while cleaning up my home and without finding childcare. However recently they have brought up the free shipping requirement. This is making me consider another service. The other products in past I have added to get 5 dollars more to my minimum. But now would be $15 dollars to add and I don't desire the extra unnecessary products esp when they are in unfriendly pastic bottles.
I used the formula sent to me. I love the color. I had one issue. The final step was overwhelmingly noxious of ammonia. I suggest you do this with the shower curtain open a little and before turning on the shower because I was really overwhelmed with the ammonia. Otherwise, the poor is perfect for me and brought out my natural skin tones and eye color. Thank you.
I like it but I keep having trouble with getting my whites to fully cover. I don’t have much white hair it is at the front of my face and that is the area I have trouble fully covering. I tried more time and they adjusted the color but still have trouble. Otherwise, I like the color and the fact that it doesn’t stain much.
I loved everything except the gray came in very soon. Within the first week. So thats been disappointing as it continued to show more as the days go on.
I liked the color recommended, and although there were a few steps required to achieve the color, the result was satisfactory. My only concern was the inability on my part to color the gray adequately. I wish there was a better method to achieving this.
My first time ever coloring my own hair. I used the brush method, and did pretty good. Love the color, but need to see how it looks when the gray grows out, as I may darken it just a bit...not sure now.
This product is amazing!! The colour looks like I got it done at a salon not from a box. I absolutely love it however I do not love the fact that it took well over a month to get here to Canada. Unfortunately that is most likely just our post COVID world and still won’t deter me from keeping my subscription.
Only reason for loss of one star is that this time my hair is too dark. However salon immediately responded to my concern and have amended y next colour accordingly! So looking forward to my September colour .And here is another * for prompt response!
Click, click, click to choose your color! Gets to you in time! Easy to use and apply and you don’t get a crazy what?! color, you get a nice blend and great fresh hair color. I just wish it would not dry my hair as much. I’ll ask them what to use so it stays soft and hydrated longer.
Also I wish someone would call us when we change a color a little so we get real help; what we think is probably not really possible with a click, it can be confusing from the color we have to one we dream:)
Thank you! Way to have your beautiful hair through pandemic and not only.
OK so on Zoom constantly during the pandemic-this is no time to let nature take over my hair. I was really happy with the color and I am not particularly talented applying it. When I went back to my "person" as much because I missed her as the need to get my hair done-actually more. she had to admit it looked pretty good. And you know that means great!
I guess I didn’t do a good job picking a brown with red highlights. My daughter did the process for me and the directions were exact. My gray up front is coming through looks like a blond streak, my daughter says that is because gray is tough to hide.
Thanks

I have now used eSalon three times. The first time, color was a bit dark. I let eSalon know and they adjusted the color. With the second application, color was right, but I didn't do a great job -- lots of gray still showed, especially in the back. The third time was the charm -- great color, good application and lots of compliments!
I liked the colour when I was finished. The only problem is that there are 2 areas in front that still didn't absorb the colour even though I put lots of colour on those areas. I'm not sure what can be done about that. Otherwise the colour was what I expected it to be.
This is my 2nd time using this product, but not sure what happened this time. For some reason I feel I developed an allergy to it. I'ts been a week since I applied it, and the itching in the scalp and around it does not go away. I can feel the rash like bumps around my scalp/neck line. Again, I'm not sure it it's me this time. I loved it the first time, and I'll try it a 3rd time.
My beautician applied this color and we both liked the kit and results. However, beautician says she can duplicate the color in her shop and its not necessary for me to buy kits since I am not coloring my hair anymore.
Thank you!
