Been using eSalon now for over a year, I can’t imagine ever not using it. I have my own personal colour which I absolutely love and that you couldn’t get from box dye

Written by the company

At eSalon, we believe that you should never have to fit in a box—so we made a box that fits you. Led by a team of real-life colourists at our Los Angeles Headquarters and UK facility, our award-winning custom hair colour takes into account your unique needs to create your colour, your way. Similar to the salon experience, each bottle of hair colour starts with a consultation. By taking our quiz, our licensed colourists get to know you and your colour goals before crafting a completely customised hair dye, made-to-order just for you. From the name on the bottle to the personalised instructions, we’re revolutionising at-home hair colour and taking things to the next level by giving you access to a personal colourist at every step along your colour journey. Whether you want to adjust your shade (our patented customisation technology can adjust your hair colour down to a ¼ of a shade) or want to learn how to get the best grey hair coverage, our professional colourists are here to help. It’s this attention to detail that has allowed us to win seven Allure Best of Beauty Awards and three Readers' Choice Awards to date. Over our 10 years of experience, we’ve also been able to craft 310,000+ unique, salon-quality hair colours and shipped over 12.2 million orders to clients across North America, the UK, EU, New Zealand, and Australia. In addition to our custom Colour Set, we offer professional-grade hair care (like shampoos, conditioners, stylers, and hair masks), salon-inspired tools (like application brushes and capes), and innovative colour care (like toning treatments and at-home highlighting kits).

This was my first time using e-salon

This was my first time using e-salon. I like the colour which looks very natural. Ordering and choosing the colour was easy and the delivery was on time. The follow up to check the colour was good, before my next order was dispatched, was very reassuring. Again, the delivery was on time. Very pleased overall.

So glad I decided to give eSalon a try!

I have wrote a lot of grey coming through and i get 'hot toys' with box dye. eSalon tailored my colour so I get a beautifully natural result. The colour is also a much better colour with fewer purpley undertones. It has depth and dimension rather than just being a flat colour. The instructions are brilliantly easy to follow and the little extras are a lovely touch.

Blond to black.

I though I'd order a product I'd seen all over the Internet and in beauty magazines. Im a mum of 3 so buying a personalised premium product is a treat. My hair was light blond and I wanted to go to medium blond. I though I was safe as I get to speak to a colouring expert if there's any problems. The questionnaire was easy and so was ordering. I got an email from an expert with my colouring plan and they said to use a gold tint first. My order came beautafly packaged it was so easy to use but 15 minutes later my hair is black. I was distraught all I got on the phone was a refund and told at least its only demi permanent and it will wash out with no explanation of how it happened. I got no further by email. Basically told I'd have my refund there's nothing more esalon are willing to do. I'm now left with my disgusting black hair and have to go to a real professional and pay out for that.

Really wanted to love this

Really wanted to love this as it gets such great reviews. But no.
I have been dying my hair for 24 years with salon & box colour & have never had one fade so quickly. In 2/3 washes!
E salon tweaked my colour & resent it FOC. But again it has faded.
More so than a semi-perm gloss colour my hairdresser used to use. I use colour protect, don’t use v. hot water, haven’t been swimming-all the things they said not to do, I don’t anyway. So I’m disappointed but glad I tried it & it’s just not for me & I have seen others say it fades quickly too. It also has too much red undertones for my liking.
As with lots of things, this doesn’t suit everyone. I won’t be repurchasing & will go back to my trusty box colour.

Really loved the colour I purchased

Really loved the colour I purchased, Mahogany Blonde but it faded after 2 or 3 washers, probably would have continued using it to see if the colour got better when using it regularly but is too expensive, if it was £12 - £15 wouldn't mind paying that but when it's over £20 it's too much, charge less esalon then you would keep more customers.
