I am happy with my new hair color but not happy with the results I got following the instructions. I colored my roots first and let it set for 20 minutes. Then I combed the color through the rest of my hair and waited 5 minutes before shampooing with the remaining color, then washed and conditioned. The color did not really take on the top of my hair. There is a definite color change line at my part. My hair is thick and perhaps it did not get distributed well enough and I believe that 5 minutes was not enough processing time.
This was more expensive than what you buy in the store, but much cheaper than going to a salon, but the color is just as good as what you get in a salon.
Love the color but when rinseing and washing I really don't care for the slimy, rubbery feel. I think it's difficult to rinse. I shampoo/rinse twice after coloring.
Love the personalization. I wish it had a little bit more gray coverage. I feel it's good for about a week then grays show up again... But that just could be how fast my hair grows. I've only used this product twice... So I'm still getting use to it... Still had a hard time with the residue that's left on my scalp, it's still there after a couple of days.
I noticed a slight difference between my trial color which I had used in May, compared to this latest one I purchased. It seems like the ammonia smell was very strong on this latest product. But otherwise, everything else was ok.
I found the previous color a bit too red for me and requested a color change. The newest color is much better. Thank you for being so responsive to my color change request.
Got rid of the orange/brass highlights at my request by adding Ash. As a result a little bit darker than I desire, but definitely preferable to brassy.
This color was perfect although I didn't notice any difference between the two bottles as I was under the impression they varied in color I would have been able to use the second color for in between deliveries for a root touch up down the road
Best Custom Hair Color also for hair going gray :-)

I am very happy and pleased about my results after dying my hair over a month ago :-) After trying mass production hair dyes and even hair salons, I found one biggest problem with all of them: the gray hair coverage was simply very poor and the color was washing off shortly after. What I also did not like was that I could not seem to find the right color, even hair salons were not so understanding and willing to do their best (my hair color has always ended up to be very dark brown). Overall I was disappointed and upset. I have completed my profile with eSalon and sent to my personal colorist my pictures. That was THE BEST experience I have ever had (very personal and caring) - They got back to me with a proposal of a color for my overall look/appearance. I could not believe how nice "light brown" looked on me (finally no more dark:-)) It made me look younger and covered my gray hair. My advice is to send your pictures to get some ideas from your creative colorist. I found my peace and will definitely save lots of money. My next custom hair color + color hair care are on their way. Definitely not tempted any more to waste money - wisely spent :-)
After my first order, I realized this was meant for people with gray hair and got embarrassed that I was using this for my own hair. I'm in my early 20s and I just love the color. It took me a while to find the right shade for me. The first was just too coppery. (Mind you, I am dealing with the color red here which is very hard to replicate a REAL ginger color.) The second time was the same color as before because I was too afraid to change it much. The third time was when I decided to change it to a lighter color. It was cool. That was the perfect one for me and then I got brave and decided to change it yet another time to just play with the red color family and this time I am LOVING it. I deciced to go strawberry blonde. It's such a lovely color for me especially since I'm naturally blonde with a slight tint of strawberry anyway. This just makes the natural red in my hair pop out more. I hope this review is helpful for other people who like to use red hair dye. The only color I didn't like was the copper color for the first round. It was a nice color, but it didn't look natural enough for me. My family members don't have that color and maybe other people's families do, but not mine.
Would NEVER spend salon prices or time ever again ....people ask IF I color my hair it looks so natural
Strongly recommend to anyone who doesn't have the time or want to spend the money on salon work
Good grey coverage but color only last about 2 weeks, then fades out. I only wash my hair 1-2 x a week or it would fade faster,even using the shampoo and conditioner they offer. Still better then store bought.
The color based on the survey came a bit darker than I expected, but it was also a perfect color for me! I won't go lighter like i was previously, I love this color!!
This is only my second time using this product. While I loved the color, I felt that it does not last as long as if you got it colored at a salon. However, I have very prominent grey roots and very dry hair.
As a child/teen I had the most beautiful hair colour. It was strawberry blonde. Some strands however were very blonde, some fire red and underneath you could find some almost burgundy. I held off colouring my incoming grey as long as I could. Although I finally found a hairdresser that could match my colour as best as she could, I simply can't afford $100 every few months. I've tried several boxed colours as well. None could ever match the colour I wanted. I know I'll never get the variety of colours I had then but I wanted something that didn't look like I coloured my hair. I came across eSalon and thought, what have I got to lose?? I've been thrilled!! I sent several pictures of my hair as I have a lot. A lot. Very thick, very curly and long. I'm about to receive my 3rd (or 4th?) shipment. I'm so very happy with my colour. I have a lot of grey and with the thickness of my hair, it's hard to colour. Thank you so very much eSalon. The colour I get is so close to my natural. I love it!! And it lasts. I don't send kudos often but this product is more than deserving. Thank you for taking the time that you do to match hair colour perfectly. I'm telling everyone!!
Product was ok but who financial sI tuition changed and I requested to stop order, you continued to send it even though I cold not afford it!!!!! Very disappointed in your company and would not recommend it!
I loved the density of the colour and how it covered all my greysdedpite bring a Demi. Only complaint is that There is no purple visible I my hair as I had asked for
First off let me start with I started to use eSalon back in 2013 I loved the color but never maintained it because I canceled my subscription.
Two years down the line I'm using drugstore hair color kits and not seeing the results I wanted. I was looking for a full coverage of my gray hairs and a brown shade, nothing too dark or blonde.
2016 comes around and I get and email from Esalon. I have grays growing out of my head faster then ever and my color is dull, plus my wedding was in 4 weeks.
So I did it and yes I'm happy I did. Great product, cute kit and great service.
I have no problem with the product per se. What bothers me is the time between the shipping date and the actual delivery date. When I select a delivery date on the calendar.....it isn't the delivery date, it is the shipping date. My last order shipped on June 10th and I didn't receive it until two weeks later.
Tell people often about eSalon. Unfortunately am not aware of any of them trying it out. Have suspended my account only because of my financial situation. I did state reason as too expensive but this was referring to my situation rather than your product being too expensive.
I LOVE THE GREAT COLOR BUT NO MATTER WHAT I DO THE FIRST DAY MY HAIR IS ALL SLICK AND RUBBERY FEELING. I CAN RINSE FOR 1/2 HOUR AND NOTHING HELPS. THE SHAMPOO AND CONDITONER DO NOT SEEM TO HELP.
The color is great grey coverage. It also does not fade as fast as most reds. However, I still would like it a bit more red and the pictures I had sent were more of an orange red as that is what I use to use.
It was too reddish, but on a positive note, no one noticed it except my husband so it must have looked close to natural! Very easy to understand the directions and apply. It was fun, just not ready for another yet!
I really liked the color. However, it didn't cover all of my highlights. I have a few spots sporadically throughout that the color didn't really take. I am going to try again and see if it covers my blonde highlights more!
I liked the color this time, but not as much as last time. Not sure why, though. It really is a good match for my skintone and seems to stay longer than the store-bought versions.
I like the convenience of it, but it is too much product for my hair. My hair is very fine and short. I only used a half bottle, therefore it's a waste. Otherwise I like the color made for me.
The color was wonderful, but the price for reorder was too high. I was sent an offer for reorder at $10. When I loaded it in the cart, it charged full price. So I never submitted the order. Next thing I know, I receive an email stating my order was received. AND my credit card has been charged full amount. In spite of two emails to cancel an order I did not make, I've received no response. Today I receive an email that my order has shipped! Watch this company. It's saving your credit card info and sending unauthorized shipments!

At first I thought it didn't color my grey hair well enough. I went back to using the best OTC hair color I could purchase. What a mistake. My hair is so dry and brittle. I think my hair just grows so much faster and needs to be colored more often than I thought. I am ordering Custom Hair Color more often than before and won't go back to OTC product again.
I have been dying my hair for many many years and have been many colors.
mostly a light brown/dark blonde over my formerly dark brown (now with lots of grey)
I have tried a few things but have always gone back to L'Oreal, mostly because it leaves the hair the softest, color is good and low price
this color held better and looked great, but I did not like the feel as much.
I am going to adjust the color a tad and give it another go to see if it is worth 3x the price
Hair is in better condition than with a shop bought box colour, which was why I bought this brand. However it works out a bit expensive with postage. I would recommend it though.
The E-Salon is wonderful! My color was spot on. I have to cancel my membership for now due to I don't have the money right now. Just can't afford it. I'm so sorry. I'll be back as soon as I can. Thank you
Excellent--no different than when I go to the salon!!

Sorry I had to skip this shipment...I want you to know how much I love your products and my original plan was to use them 'every other time' I colored my hair. In the last few months it has been necessary for me to go to the hair dresser two times in a row (nothing to do with your product) and I still had an extra shipment that I was late in using so that is why I have had to skip shipments. I do intend to get back on track with my original plan for your product and once again...I love them...how you get the color so right from a photo is amazing and my hair is in great shape...thanks!!
The original color I received from eSalon was a bit too light for my liking. However, all it took was emailing a brief message to the colorist about my concerns and the next formula was perfect. I'm not sure how they do it but I think the product is a great. I am telling all my friends about it.
The color was perfect, I felt it was a more vibrant color.
The package was great everything was there that I needed.
The timer did not work, seemed to be a short circuit.
For years I have been going to a fine French hair stylist, who both cut and dyed my hair. When the recession hit, I tried the l'Oreal products in CVS, but my hair was redder than I like and was getting dry and fly-away. Then I discovered esalon. Before I went gray, my hair was curly and dark brown. For a long time, I tried a lighter color, but it just looked mousy. Esalon adjusted my original color with them, which was too dark for me these days, and now it is pretty near perfect. Not brassy, not black--a warm brown that provides sufficient contrast to be flattering without being harsh. I get the non-permanent color and refresh it every 3 weeks (my roots grow out). I would definitely recommend this service to friends as the cheapest and the best way to color your hair.
My first experience with esalon left me underwhelmed. I had chosen from their selection of colors and definitely didn't get the results I wanted. A few months later, I responded to an email. I gave specifics of what I didn't like about the color. I sent photos. And I agreed to give it one more try.
I got rich color that didn't fade to a brassy, unnatural color, and it was truly formulated just for me. My color isn't found on the order chart - because it's mine.
I love the hair color but I like highlights so after I color I highlight but I don't like doing it every 6 weeks. So I just use root touch up so my highlights last longer.
I like the color made for me, but I don't like the idea of automatically sending me a new kit every 7 weeks. I don't color that often. I want to be able to order when I need it only.
I liked the color that was made for me. The product didn't have a strong smell & the package of shampoo & conditioner smelled great. I just wish there was enough for at least 2 washes.
The color was good but not exactly what I expected. The process also took longer than I expected. The color lasted about six weeks in my hair and I only was my hair about every three days. The overall color stayed but my grays showed earlier than I was hoping for.
The first hair color that does not start out too dark!

I was a little leary of the title of my hair color at first: 'golden blonde'. I am a red head, have been that for my entire life. However, my hair takes up color differently than normal. To get my grey colored, I've had to go to strawberry blonde shades, which are still too dark on the initial uptake. My 'Made for You' color turned out to be just right!
I had issues with previous color done for me because it didn't last more than cpl wks. This time I think you got it! My only problem (but it's me), is I have a Widow's Peak, & the hairline along my temples & @ the point of peak rarely get completely covered. I try to cover it all but a few strands always get away from me, I guess.
Yes, it was darker than my last color but definitely didn't have the "blue hue" I was hoping for... my hair may take a hot minute to get it where I want it.
I love this color, I wish the color wouldn't wash off so fast. I notice the grays in just a few washes. I wash my hair twice a week with 90% cold water. Any suggestions?
Unfortunately the colour did not hold for as long as I would of liked. Started to fade after 4days.
On the positive side the colour mix was perfect and very accurate to what is displayed on the website.
