I am a fan. However, I am still exploring the color formula to get copper coverage that doesn’t fade before time to recollect. Going a little deeper this month.
I love it. I only gave it 4 stars because I wish eSalon would include a very rich conditioner option with the color in addition to the 2 conditioner/shampoo packages. Also, please provide a paper not plastic option for a mat and try to reduce packaging.
Also separate from the review, eSalon team, could you please provide a conditioner for people losing hair that need to color their hair.
eSalon custom color is amazing for color-treated hair

Love my new color! I went with the Medium Brown (Pearly Copper), it's so rich in color. When the sun hits it the copper shines through. Unfortunately it didn't cover completely on my roots, too coppery. So I contacted my colorist and she adjusted my color. Can't wait for the new color to arrive.
I’ve been using eSalon for over two years. Once you do it once or twice, the actual dying process is quite simple. I love the color and I’ve found that when I used another dye in a pinch it just doesn’t look as good or as saturated. I’ve also found that besides the slight downside of a little more stains for a few days from doing the dye yourself, I like the results as much or even better than when a stylist colors my hair. The box comes with gloves, stain guard, stain remover wipes, plus shampoo/conditioner so you’re really ready to go at any time. I’ve probably had six boxes and honestly, I would not use another product. Unless I decide to drastically bleach/change my hair and require a stylist, I will continue with eSalon. I consider the price of eSalon to be absolutely worth and maybe even underpriced....The added benefit of having someone who actually reviews and makes decisions on your hair color needs is a huge perk compared to traditionally dying at home. You should absolutely do this! Live your best hair life.
After trying many brands to color my resistant greys, my search led me back to eSalon, after some years, to give it another try. I am seeking a color that will give me at least 4-5 weeks of coverage, however that does not seem do-able. I just can't seem to find a brand that lasts at least 3 weeks before I see my grey friends again!!! However, I was satisfied with the initial color coverage. After rinsing what felt like glue out of my hair, my hair was shiny and the color was dark brown as purchased - not a grey in sight. (I put some photos in my account.) I am African American and my strands are thick, wavy & curly. After coloring, my strands did not become dry and I had no disturbance in the texture, nor any breakage. But the real test was the longevity. I colored on a Wednesday, and by the following Monday my grey friends were slightly glistening at my front hairline. I wanted to give it a some time before I did a review to see how slow or fast the color would perform and I can say that by today, day 15, all of the roots are showing from temple to temple and across my scalp- so I'm back to my normal scenario where permanent color only last 2weeks. I will give eSalon another try because it didn't dry out my hair and I felt my hair had a shine/gloss I always seek (I prefer high shine with the least amount of product). So it got the job done. I'll try eSalon again because I like the shine it provided. Otherwise it performs, for me, the same as most other high brand colors (Wella, Schwartzkopft, Kenra, Matrix) and lasts about the same.
Love it for my first three color set but now I feel my hair is a little darker than normal. Also, my hair seems to have breakage.
I may have to rest my hair and try again in a couple months.
I was suprised becasue i had picked too dark of a color the previous time but i just told them what i was looking for and now i have a color im not changing for a while
My first try. Red can be a difficult color because it can easily be too brassy, too blonde, or just really unnatural looking. I admit that I did not leave it on as long as recommended for fear of that. My color is beautiful and I will be a little bolder next time!
Really frustrating that when I ordered Volume Travel Trio for $10 I was short free shipping by $0.05 and couldn't get it without ordering something else. Really, 5 cents. I canceled my Travel Trio order.
I love the color .I just don't like the texture it does to my hair . Was hard to rinse out and left my hair feeling like wire. On my next order I only want the root touch up..
Color is good, Bright and vibrant. I just wish it was a little thicker formula. I tend to have it drip while trying to touch up my color. It will run down my face a bit while it processes. I also wish it was free shipping because I could go to sallys beauty supply and get professional color for a lower price.
The colour seem fine it's just when you wash it out with the shampoo and conditioner it leaves your hair feeling like you've got a ton of lard on it and it never dries so you end up have to wash it and wash it again has something changed with the products?
For those of us who have colored our hair for decades, it can be a real challenge to get the color we want without damaging our hair. eSalon definitely meets both of those goals. In addition, it's user-friendly.
However, I'm not getting the gray coverage that I do with other products. Maybe that's because of the kinder-gentler formula? In any case, that is one pretty major con amongst all the pros.
I've been using E-salon for a number of years and think the product is great. My only problem with the color is that it doesn't take along my hairline even with the suggestions offered. This past year the packaging was changed. There are times when I can't open the color bottle and have to ask for help. They now have 2 boxes...one for gloves and one for shampoo, etc. Why was this done? The shampoo and conditioner only fit folded over in the new shorter box, whereas previously everything fit fine together.
I like the color very much and it was easy to apply. I was a little disappointed that it was only one bottle of color instead of two with my recurrent order (when previously it was two for the same price). I had to stretch it a bit for my extra long hair, but it turned out okay. I'll keep ordering for sure.
Yesterday made the third time that I have used esalon with MAJOR confidence. I have colored my hair for probably 20 years. Buying the same color, company, I never knew what my color would turn out to be....and believe me it has turned pretty orange before.
Since using esalon and seing how I can rely on the color looking so awesome, I have colored it twice and did the hightlights for the very first time....all three times 2 hours before I leave for church! Now you tell me, is the MAJOR confidence or what??!!?? AND all three times my hair was awesome!
Does esalon cost more than color you get at Walmart, Walgreens, CVS? Yes, it does.
Is it more than worth it? YES, IT IS!!!!!!!!
Costumer support was great. My shipment arrived in a timely manner and the price was also fair. I love having the option to communicate freely with my color specialist when needed. However, the color was much much much darker than I had anticipated. I expected an lighter auburn color and the results were more like a dark chocolate.
Covered my gray hair better than Madison Reed. No reddish cast. Just darker than I expected. I wish it came with a plastic cap to wear while the color is setting. It was easy to use. The last step wear you apply diluted product to all the hair made a big mess in the shower!
I’ve been coloring my hair for over 20 years and have always used red hair color. The ones I’ve always tried have always been really ‘red’ right in the crown area of my head for the first few days. The first few days the water ran orange with color still being rinsed out. I truly thought that was normal. The fade issue was so awful that I colored my every 3 weeks. I was over using mass produced hair color.
I decided I wanted to try a little bit different shade of red. I couldn’t find a color I liked so I decided to try eSalon. I am very pale and wanted a more golden coppery shade, a less intense red. I selected Dark Blonde (Copper Golden). I wasn’t too sure but my mom and I loved the color itself. I was a bit apprehensive as my hair had been dark for so many years. My color consultant called me, we discussed my allergy issues and I went for it. I’m so glad they don’t send you latex gloves! I have a life-threatening allergy to latex. I just wish they have gloves in larger sizes.
Well, I love my color. It looks amazing. My hair is in better condition now than it has been in a long time. The color lasts for a month. Also, it actually rinses out really well. I don’t have orange rinse water for a week every time I shower anymore! I’m so glad that I tried eSalon. It was a fantastic decision for me.
It was very kind to have 2 colors to s ye the grey and than for the rest of my hair. But this was not needed due to as said before I have thinning short hair and this could of been accomplished with 1 color vil.
I would like to discontinue the shipments at this time due to me being out of town for 3 months. Thank you
To start off, I just have to say how much I love the color! It's shiny, and really beautiful! However, as a hairstylist, I have to say the application process was more tedious for me to do on myself with the recommended brush/bowl method. The ends treatment was also interesting. It was so wet and splashed all over my bathroom! Was a bit annoying cleaning it off the walls, hence my 4 star rating. Aside from that, it turned out nicely! After feeling REALLY dry and brittle cleaning the color out, the shampoo and conditioner made it come to life again. Although, I wish there was a bit more of the shampoo and conditioner, my hair is just past my shoulders so I had to use more of my own color conditioner, but otherwise, this is a great product with a lovely end result! Can't wait to get the root touch up for next month!
I'd like to go a little lighter, if possible. Also, there was a minor error in packing- I received 2 shampoos instead of 1 conditioner/1 shampoo in my kit.
I felt like it covered my gray better than before.....and it was good before. Not sure if there were changes to the product or if I did a better job of applying, but I like the results.
I just used my personalized colors, and I absolutely LOVE the color. It was not what I expected, based on the choices I had in the questionnaire, but I was so torn between getting back to my natural red hair or continuing with the aubergine-ish color that I really liked, I just decided to let eSalon make me what they would. I had three colors...White, red and aubergine, and was too embarrassed to even send a photo!
Well, my personal 'Kathi in a Bottle', somehow brought all my color under control. just enough violet to be fun, but a red that is as close to my original color of my youth, and full coverage of white.
My hair was in bad condition due to picking up the wrong product TWICE, and now my hair feels so soft and healthy with no frizz. Of course, I'll be watching closely to see how it goes after a few days, but I expect good things!
Needless to say, so far I am thrilled with the product, color, speed of delivery and the ease of putting in an oder. Highly recommended!
Thank you eSalon!

I have pretty stubborn grey hair along the part and near the ears. It covers well and since it comes back every 6 weeks whether I spend $100s at the salon or have this sent and do it myself, this is a way better deal economically. I miss my highlights but it just wasn't financially worth it to keep going to the salon!
An excellent product worth paying a little more for. I just wanted something to mask the greys rather than radically alter my hair colour and this does just that. At the hair salon my stylist always insisted on adding a lot of red to the brown to ‘warm it up.’ To me it just looked brassy and unnatural. This has far less red mixed in and gives a far superior result. Just wish e-salon would bring out some dark caramel highlights for brown hair now. Hint, hint. LOL.

I canceled my account as I was on a bad car wreck where someone smashed my car.I can’t afford food or rent or ultilies now as I love your products I can’t afford them while I convalescence and return to work.PLEASE STOP CHARGING ME I AM BROKE WHILE I AM OFFF WORK DUE TO THIS CAR ACCIDENT!
I like the way everything is set up and you create a custom color but my color was too dark. I wanted a lighter color. Other than that it’s easy to use and doesn’t burn or have such a strong odor.
Today I used the custom hair color from eSalon. Color came out great but noticed that some hair near the scalp were not dyed (remained gray). I made sure the area was covered. I will continue to reorder. Previously had salon coloring.
Need to tone down the red a bit and a little lighter on the ash. Otherwise it was good. Easy to use. The prep was easy. The stain remover worked great.
I loved the copper color but after about 3 washes it faded really fast and its not very copper anymore its more red brown now. I wish the colors lasted longer.
I'm telling you, I just wasn't trusting enough.
Just go with it, I loved my color..I loved that it was personalized for me they thought of everything thank you
Grey shows back up too quickly. And I don't have that much. Color was good, maybe a bit more brown. But after 2 weeks, usually I can go 4-6 weeks between coloring. I may start having it done by someone.
Thank You
I was so pleased with my color. I opted for a light to med rich chocolate brown and my colorist absolutely nailed it! Unfortunately for me the color faded extremely fast.
and wasting time in chair, this custom color set is a tremendous value. I've used this product three times and has proven to provide great natural results. I've got gray and the product hides it pretty well, however, gray is a challenge and we will never find a product that covers 100% because hair JUST KEEPS on GROWING!
I'm 62 yr and I been having my hair red for 10yrs and at my age it wasn't looking good until I got esalon in face book whoa I love it how eSalon mix the right color now I have a Red color but but not as bright good job thank you love it.
My issue is with the shipping. It took 9 days to get to me and I had a wedding on the 10th day - so I spent 2 hours of the day before the wedding which was at my home, coloring my hair. I don't understand why it took so long. It was shipped on 18 Jul and arrived 27 Jul. Geez... I almost went to buy color product at Walgreens...
I would recommend eSalon to anyone that colors their hair. The only reason it is a 4 star is because the texture feels "stiff" for a few days after when shampooing.
This was BETTER coverage than what I get at my salon. I can’t even explain why. I pay $80-100 to color my thick long hair just for a few grays. I can’t think of a reason to do that again.
Even though I sent my photo requesting a consultation, I just got the color I chose. Which is ok. It was a bit red, I’ll probably do something a little different next time.
I have been coloring my hair red for years. After my gray started coming in, the color I was using didn't color the grays well. They faded after 2 washes. After switching to another brand, the gray was covered, but I needed a level 5 red, which is very difficult to find. When I would use the color in the brand that best suited my gray, it was either too light or too dark. E Salon made my custom color and I love it. It covers my gray, the color is perfect and it is a red that doesn't fade quickly, lasting until it is time to color my roots. Even my stylist likes my color and compliments me on it!!
Good color, easy to follow instruction,. I ended up with a lot of extra even after the blending process which I thought was wasteful. The color was a tad darker than what I had expected
I really like my color, and the color specialists are GREAT to work with, but the last step of mixing the water in with the color and then rubbing it in for a couple minutes it really MESSY. I do it under my bath faucet, is there a better way to do that last step?
YES I DID I CUT ALL MY HAIR OFF JUST TO SEE HAVE LONG IT WOULD LAST WITH SHORT HAIR AND I LOVE IT NOW WAIT FOR THE NEXT ORDER IT WAS SO EASY TO DO AND FOR ME 20MIM WAS MY TIME I THINK CAUSE MY HAIR IS SHORT I COULD SEE THE COLOR CHANGE BEFOR I GOT TO MY 2 PRAT OF MY HAIR SO THAT A PLUS FOE ME WASH OUT WAS DIFFER THEM ALL THE OTHER HAIR COLOR I USE SO THANK YOU
The color is great and it's easy to apply. But you need to include THREE pairs of gloves. I use one pair for the first application that I have to wait 15 minutes for. Then I use the 2nd pair for the 2nd application that I have to wait 10 minutes for. Then I'm out of gloves and have no more to use when I go in to the shower to apply the leftover color to my hair. It's ridiculous to think that somebody is going to sit around for 15 minutes and do nothing but wait with gloves on so they can proceed. I mean as much as we pay surely a third pair of gloves is not going to break your 30 million dollar company.
I loved the color only thing I didn't care for was the waxy feeling for 2 days after. Other than that my hair went back to its silky self by the third day. I will continue to use the products
Not sure what was changed, but when the packaging changed, appears the formulation changed too. It is too watery now and drips down my head. Also, think the new packaging is bland and boring. The old Heart Lock It and Love UnConditionally - made it kind of fun.
I love my color. And when it fades it looks natural. Even my gray tends to blend in and look sexy as opposed to washed out.
The one caveat is that it dries out the ends of my hair.
I love the product and have been very satisfied with the color. However, recently I’ve been receiving shipments that are always missing something. Although they’re small items, it’s still so disappointing to open the box up and not have everything I need. Once it was the stain guard, then the wipe and the last time it was missing the conditioner (instead there were 2 shampoos).
Color is close to what I wanted, but coverage wasn't as well.

Giving the color 4 stars. I'm finally getting close to the color I wanted, but the color they send for the ends of your hair doesn't seem to cover as well. I just want my hair to be the same vibrant color all over. Overall, definitely not bad for custom color and price.
