What do you love most about your job as an eSalon Colorist?

There are so many things I love about my job! First of all, I get to work with a group of colorists I genuinely respect and love working with. But what I find especially fulfilling is helping our clients find solutions to their hair color issues. Sometimes, even a simple adjustment can make a world of difference, and when we help our clients overcome their hair struggles it is such a wonderful feeling.

How do eSalon colorists customize color?

When a client places and order, they are assigned a specific colorist who formulates their color using our proprietary computer system. The colorist carefully evaluates the client's profile, their color/chemical history, and any photos or comments they may have uploaded. Then we design a completely unique formulation based on each client's needs.

“Yes, we sell color and great hair care products, but we also empower our clients.

How do you formulate color so it's exactly what your customer wants?

I formulate a color visually and make the necessary adjustments to create the desired result. One order that comes to mind is a client who wanted to match her dark blonde copper hair, but chose a significantly darker color on our site. Because I knew she didn't intend to color her hair a dark brown, I adjusted the formulation to be closer to the dark blonde copper she had in the photo she provided.

I don't think I could live without our Cream CoWash.

I love that this cream gently cleanses my hair, doesn't strip the color, and leaves it soft, silky and manageable. It also smells wonderfully herbal, and is such a relaxing way to start the day.

What would you say is the most common hair color issue?

Over-processing! If you're maintaining your color, I always recommend to just color the regrowth. This prevents hair color from processing too dark and makes sure that results are natural-looking and even from root to tip.
