My most favorite thing about the hair color aside from the gray coverage is that I don't have to worry about the color bleeding onto my clothes and bedding even when my hair is wet. . In the past I have been unable to wear white or light colors for several weeks after coloring my hair. There seems to be little damage done to my hair while using so my hair feels good instead of stripped of all moisture.
I absolutely love the product. I love the way it colors my hair. I love how it doesn't bleed. I love how my hair feels after I use the dye. Not like store bought dye. The only thing is it's still a little too dark. Im wanting a more pinkish color.
This is one of the best hair coloring products I have tried. The service is great. Even though I haven't found exactly the correct shade, I keep tweaking it with customer service to get it there. What makes it difficult is, I teach deep water aerobics so I am in the pool 4 times a week. I have a short, layered haircut and applying the solution is not as easy as seen in all your videos using gals with long hair. How about a video showing how to apply haircolor on short hair?
The color is great and looks much better than most box colors. Directions are easy to follow. The product is a little difficult to wash out. Usually takes me 2 or 3 washes to get rid of the rubbery feel.
I usually use store bought hair color. I found esalon through instagram and Facebook. I decided to give it a shot! My hair is originally very dark brown almost black with a little red showing through in the sunlight. The last 6/8 months I put Carmel Hi-lights in it and grew tired of them very quickly. I am getting married in a few months and don’t have the funds to visit A salon to go back to my original color. Which brings me to the reason I am writing this review! I received my package very quickly as soon as I got it in the mail I ran inside and started the process which was very easy ! 20 minutes later and I am back to my original hair color! I was very nervous because of the blonde in my hair. I was worried it wouldn’t be what I thought I wanted. And I was wrong! I would recommend esalon to anyone wanting an amazing DIY salon quality hair color! 💖
My first use produced a color way darker than I wanted. However, after a few shampoos, the color lightened and was perfect. It still is. No sign of fading or gray showing. I notified Salon re: the dark color, and was told that my next batch would be lighter. Please send the original color. Your product is waaaay better than the drugstore products. I was ready to let the grey take over because I was not satisfied with the drugstore results. I have never reviewed a product before.
I’ve ordered this product multiple times. One of the best things about this color is it’s drying power. Even when it fades it looks great!
Objectively, the color is not consistent every time. I understand that this is a custom order and it’s hard to achieve that 100% of the time. I’d like to see that change if in the future if possible.
Overall I really like the convenience and quality. It’s a live saver. ✨
I had never colored my hair before, but was starting to look washed out with gray hair. The instructions and website were very educational and easy to follow. My daughter said that they matched my hair perfectly and I feel and look younger. I am getting better at brushing the color, but this was the hardest part for me. The 2nd and 3rd time I colored my hair (root touch ups), my hair had a gummy feel to it. I added baking soda to the shampoo once or twice after coloring my hair and this fixed the problem.
I used this about 3 times, it was demi so with my lifestyle it would only last a month or so ....was too scared to go permanent. Never touched my hair since and cut my own hair for 5 years, now 5 years later I'm 40% gray and needing to spruce it up, brighten my face so I'm back and looking forward to it. I'm not ready to go gray yet :)
I love everything about this company. its very personalized to the type of hair you have. the only problem i has was the shade i chose wasn't as dark as i thought it was going to be.
Good instructions, accurate color, and no strong smell!

This is a bit more tedious than a typical boxed dye but totally worth it! The color is exactly what I wanted and everything looked even once I dried my hair. I also love that it doesn’t have that strong bleach smell like drug store dyes and it doesn’t sting my scalp so i’d Like to think it doesn’t have harsh chemicals. Finally, not much color comes off in the shower whenever I wash my hair so hoping this lasts longer! Also, love the sample of shampoo and conditioner, left my hair smelling nice and feeling soft—might just have to buy it!
The color medium brown is just right. It lasts really long and does not fade. I have not used the last order from June 11, 2019. I am just now going to renew with it.
Being a natural redhead trying to cover grey has led me to some disastrous attempts to get to my natural colour. I have tried most off the shelf products over the years. I am well used to having to use colour removers to balance out failed colourings. I have to say that my first Custom Colour Set had resulted in the colour I have been looking for for years. I followed the online instructions exactly and I am a very happy redhead. I will now monitor how long it lasts before I sign up to receive more Sets.
I am beyond satisfied with my hair color and the texture of my hair after using the product! The color looks so natural, and my hair is soft. I feel and look my self again..I no longer have old lady box color that made my hair drab. The only downside is that it is a bit messier that what I am used to, but hopefully I can improve on the technique in the future. I also plan to order the shampoo and conditioner, I liked that a lot too. Also, this sounds weird and is random, but while rinsing my hair, the smoke detector went off outside the bathroom door. (Again, random and weird!) I almost wonder if the detector sensed the chemicals floating in the air as fire.
I absolutely love the color and texture of my hair the only concern I have is the price. After the first purchase with the discounts I'm being charged full price plus shipping. For that price I could get my hair done in a salon with a groupon and not have to deal with the mess. I also need my husband to help me to do the back of my hair since I can't see where my roots end. But the color is perfect. Better than any box I used.
This was interesting, at first I was concerned about the new color,dark blond. Now, I have had it in for a while love how it is holding up and how after washing a bit it's holding it's sheen
It was like walking out of a salon, with the exception I got exactly the color and changes that I wanted. The e Salon team is so easy to work with. Great product. I recommend to all my friends.
I love my color. It took 4 color changes to get what I wanted. Each time the esalon team made the changes. The color covers my grays and is a nice shade of chocolate brown. My hair is also very soft. That is something it hasn't been in years. I use some of there other products too. I'm ready to try the light set next. The only issue is my hair grows so fast and I dont really like using the camo spray. There is nothing wrong with the spray. It works very well. I just dont like using it.
Like the adjustment that was made but still searching for my perfect color choice.
I love how they work to get the color just right. I made a change that was almost the color I want but will adjust once more to see if I am able to get that perfect color.
My problem is I know nothing about color and think I am picking the right color when I make my choice only to wish I had asked for a little bit more change. That is the beauty of eSalon, it’s like going to your personal hairdresser and saying this time could you do this and they make the adjustment you ask for.
Great product, great coverage, easy to apply.
Thank you eSalon!
My color results with eSalon have been wonderful. It covers my grays and the color lasts much longer than store products. My hair stays shiny never feels dried out. My only complaint is the waxy residue that seems to be left in my hair right after coloring. It looks like my hair is oily until I wash it the next time. I am thinking this is from the conditioner. However, after the second wash, both my hair and I are quite happy with the results :)
Loved the hair dye, directions were easy to follow, loved having color stain remover especially since I’m brunette. I stopped going to salon because a colorist stained my forehead and then couldn’t get stain off! Very embarrassing two days. Very pleased with product even though it’s a little darker than I expected. I loved the way my hair feels after the process. Thanks!
My last colour was a little too dark but this time you had nailed the shade. Perfect for the few grays i have and also to lift my hair to its natural summer tones
Simple idiot guide to doing my own hair independently. Actually enjoyed colouring my own hair at my own convenience in my own home. My time is a luxury to spend on maintaining my own hair is a treat for myself and my personal relationship with my hair.
This color was so much more than I dared hope for. The red I'd had previously wasn't what I had asked for and I didn't like the way it looked with my skin tone. After a few emails and photos with the professionals, and now I have a hair color everyone says looks incredible. Most are surprised to learn it's not my natural color.
I have been going to the hair salon for all of my adult life but I hit an age where the grays popped out sooner each week. Every three months turned into every six weeks and the cost was astromical. Found eSalon online. I will admit, it took me a couple of tries to get it right. They adjusted the hair color according to my comments. I don't need appointments anymore. I'm satisfied with the color and feel good the change.
At first I thought it may have been a little darker than I wanted but it isn't. It is a gorgeous color and suites my complexion much better than my salon color. My husband commented how much he liked the color right away. That should tell you everything you need to know!!
I work 2 jobs, so when I finally get a day off I love to pamper myself and coloring my hair is one of those "pamper moments". I put the color in according to the instructions of my stylist and set back for 40 minutes,( I have stubborn greys, hence the 40 minutes). The next thing I know I'm waking up after having the color on 55 minutes! I run into the bathroom to rinse, all the while thinking I've burned my hair, or will have a weird color but NO, my color and hair were perfect! No weird color, no damage, literally nothing but perfect color! I'm sold Thank you ESALON!
I actually am impressed with this brand and company. You get a wonderful box with customized color and developer made especially for you. You also get stain guard and removal, shampoo and conditioner. They give you 2 pairs of gloves as well. The color came out nice and I bought the tings rinse as well. I do wish and think it be great to offer free shipping to those who join the plan. My biggest and only real complaint is that customer service seems terrible. I called and asked to adjust my color and add a second bottle but checked my profile and see that what was discussed was not reflected properly to my account. Now I have to call agin, FRUSTRATING.
I moved and could not find a hair colorist, my roots were starting to remind me of the white line down the center of the highway!! So I happened upon eSalon, I hadn't ever done my own hair. Could it really be that easy? eSalon would set me up with a color plan!! Self said." NO WAY!" But wait for it I did and after a little pep-talk that I can do this. I have to say,"YES,YES,YES!!!!" It was a little tricky doing the back of my hair but I got her done and I'm so impressed! The color is beautiful! My hair is soft and pretty. I love your shampoo and conditioner they are quality products. I'm yours eSalon, forever. Thanks.
I was sick this month and it too me a few weeks to get to do my hair color. With that said I was more Grey than usual!! Omg I was worried that I waited too long and this may be a problem in covering my grays! I am super happy to say, All the gray is gone! Whoo hoo!
I loved the color .. I have a strawberry blonde shade that is hard to find but they matched it perfectly .. I don't like to really go far from my hair shade but as I get older those stubborn grays/white hairs are showing .. I've done the blonde highlights to hide them but a friend of mine thought I did my hair totally blonde and I was kinda sad because I have always loved the red so I wanted to go back to my original shade but couldn't find anything in a bottle and dreaded paying the salon prices when I knew I could do it myself at home .. I've seen eSalon several times online and thought I would try it .. this is absolutely the best thing ever!! I just love my color they mixed for me .. my hair looks so natural and beautiful!
Love the concept! Instructions are great as is packaging. First order was great. Second order somehow came twice within a couple of weeks (second box is still unopened). The second dye seemed a little darker for some reason. I prefer a tad lighter. But I will keep using!
I went with a color that if I messed up, it would still be ok. There was no worry as the color prepared for me almost gives me highlights as it change my gray hairs. It also lasts a while so I changed my ship date.
I can't say thank you enough to esalon. I was raised in a super strict household and was absolutely forbidden to dye my hair, not even "boring" colors. I ended up becoming terrified to dye my hair ever. That continued all the way until now, at age 31. I have had grays for about five years now, but only a few and I always would pull them out. After an extremely stressful year, I officially started developing large gray streaks all over and while I love the idea of aging gracefully and naturally, it honestly made my self esteem even worse. Well, only a few days after the gray streaks developed (which somehow happened practically overnight), I got an ad on Facebook for esalon. I read hundreds of incredible reviews and tentatively clicked on the site and took the quiz. I was amazed at how thorough it was, and they asked about hair texture and length, too! I uploaded a picture because I had no idea how to choose the right color. They did it for me! I ordered and was super Nervous. I got my package in the mail and it was SO beautifully packaged which I loved. And they thought of everything....even included a second bottle of dye and developer since my hair is butt length and super thick, for free! The directions are laid out SO uncomplicated and simply on a long piece of paper that comes with a sticker so you can stick it right in front of you on the mirror! I know it's dumb but for someone who was so scared of messing up thru the process, having that in front of my face to read over and over again to make sure I was doing it right was HUGE. it turned out to be such a simple process, with such clear instructions. I rinsed it out, shampooed and conditioned, got out of the shower and my hair looked exactly like it did when I was 17, I swear to god. I looked exactly like myself🥰 thank you esalon, my color is just what I wanted :)
Even in sunlight, purple wasn’t seen. Turned more of a red brown than the darker purple brown. The solution strength surprisingly dried out my hair which was all natural and healthy.
I've been getting my hair colored professionally for many years. I've decided to take a chance and try it myself again as I did when I was younger. I felt comfortable doing the process as my mother was a hair stylist and she taught me how to do root touch up's and color hair. I took the leap with trying eSalon color because I kept seeing ads and finally read good reviews, not on this site, but other sites about home hair coloring. After going through the color choices I picked one that ended up being EXACTLY what I was looking for. It is the right amount of medium brown and covered very evenly on my head. My gray hair is very resistant to coloring but eSalon color covered my gray hair with a nice golden color that makes the gray hair appear like highlights. There was also a generous amount of product to use, enough that it would cover someone who has long hair. I'm very happy with this purchase and will continue coloring my hair this way.
Ok, so I waited about a week after dying my hair to write a review. I wanted to see how the color held up after a couple washes. I AM OBSESSED RIGHT NOW. I have always bought boxed dye and hoped for the best. My hair would be dry and my color would fade quickly. It was awful. I quit dying my hair about two years ago, and was skeptical about doing it again. I came across eSalon and decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed! The entire kit was fantastic. The hair dye didn’t burn or make my scalp itch, the stain guard smelled wonderful and worked perfectly. It was the first time I’ve dyed my hair and didn’t also dye my forehead and cheeks haha. The dye washed out easily... I have long, thick hair and usually I spend about forty-five minutes just getting the dye out. This took about 20, if that. The shampoo!! HONEY. The most luxurious shampoo I have ever used outside of a salon. I felt like I was in a commercial or something. The conditioner was amazing, too. My hair is pretty damaged from my thyroid issues when they got out of whack, and my hair feels and looks healthy. I will never buy boxed dye again.
Only issue: I used Demi-permanent, and it dyed a few spots in my white tub. They’re already fading away, but definitely still visible. I would spray down the entire shower with water first so that it’s all soaked and the dye has less of a chance to stick. However, it’s totally worth it still. No regrets.

Exact match of my natural auburn shade (before my gray)
POSTED BY:

First time I dyed my hair no one noticed. That's a huge compliment. Although I am an adult, my mom has always said she would kill me if I changed my hair color. She was convinced that there is no exact match for my shade of auburn. She has now admitted she was wrong!
I was too nervous to try, and kept putting it off. Finally, my roots got too long and I opened the box. Everything was neatly packed and easy to read. I appreciated the sticker for the instructions, to stick to my mirror. Every step was straight forward, and I was probably a bit conservative on using the product on my roots, more on that later. My husband had to help me while I was trying to do the back of my head. All in all, application was easy enough. When I took the product into the shower, things got a little difficult. I found it very hard to breathe while doing the final steps. This is likely because my shower is glassed in, no curtain to let fumes out. I plan to try another shower next time. Once washed and dried, I couldn't believe how good my hair looked. I showed it off for the next couple days...until the grey patch reappeared. Right at the front of my head where I usually have my part, it seems the colour washed right out of the area. Not thrilled about that, but not going to stop using it yet, as it may have been my error.
I bought this kit as somewhat of an impulse buy knowing that I wanted to go darker with my hair but not wanting to buy the boxed dye at the store. My stylist was very helpful picking out my color and listened to my need of wanting to correct the red tones in my previously dyed hair. Start to finish, this process took me about 45 minutes, whereas in the salon to get my hair dyed takes upwards of 2 hours. I also have a LOT of hair, but one bottle was enough to cover it all (they sent me 2). Overall I’m very pleased with the color, the customer service, and ease of application!
Great color at a great price! Covered my grays and matched up with my existing dark brown hair color very well! It wasn’t too dark and hasn’t faded too much after several washes.
That is my only complaint, that the color did fade a bit, nothing drastic though. Thus, the four stars instead of five.
I was surprised by how red it looked on my hair. It took me about 1 month or so to get someone to help me do the coloring. The second one arrived this week and I really don't need it yet so could you wait until about 6 weeks later before you ship the next one. I have adjusted to the color but by then I may want to tone down the red tones I am getting with this formula. I also noticed that my hair texture has changed to be more coarse. Is this normal? My hair is fairly short and usually don't have to put conditioner on it in the warm months. Now I have to use it and moisturizing shampoo.
This formula is a perfect color match - on the first try! It covers grays very well too. Only issue is the smell is pretty toxic but that probably can’t be avoided.
I was extremely happy with this I will never go back to store box dye again! They contacted me first about opitions -so send in your picture if possible! The color is beautiful and it is just like salon color- I really like the application process and I cannot wait to do it again! The only down side I would say is that I have really long thick hair so I need more shampoo and conditioner then what they send and I feel they should send 3 pairs of gloves for the 3 steps. But oh well, minor problems for such beautiful hair! Thank you!!!
This color is working well for me. Since I have fine, delicate hair, I've been buying the "demi-permanent". Almost wish I could go fully permanent, as this color seems to wash out in the first week.
Coloring your hair has never been easier! Everything you need is in the box - color, gloves, shampoo, conditioner, stain remover, and directions you can post on your mirror. You don't get that from a box in the store. And at not at this price from the salon!
I love the fact that with some input from me and a request to adjust the color a little, it was acomplished so easily. I’m very happy with the product. I do find putting the color on the back of my hair to be very hard. I’m going to continue and hope it gets easier. That would be the only issue that would send me back to a salon again.
This covered my grays better than any color I’ve used in the past - home use or from a salon. I did experience some burning during the application process, towards the end, but it didn’t actually run me. I love the result- pure color, shiny hair and not a trace of gray!
I've applied it 8 weeks ago and my hair still looks Great !
The last product I used was such a waste of money .i have my second application. Already in the house and I'm gonna do my touch up right before Easter
Thank you esalon
Your company allows me not to make a trip to the drugstore to pick a hair color that doesn't always cover my gray . It's always on time when I need , without living my home . I love the color .
