eSalon: Custom Formulated Haircolor Review

So I've been seeing ads for eSalon online lately. I watched their youtube videos, and checked out their website, so i decided to try it out. If you don't know about them, they let you try their custom haircolor for free the first time. In the free trial you get color and developer, personalized instructions, a brush, a bowel,  clips, a cape, and many other accessories to make hair coloring easy. After the free trial you can either cancel your account or you can schedule your haircolor to automatically be sent to your house every 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 weeks.


When you go to esalon.com and click on the "customize now" button, it takes you through a questionnaire with questions like, what is your natural hair color? What coloring treatments are currently on your hair? And how does your hair take haircolor? They also ask your ethnicity, eye color, length of hair, and what color you want your hair to be. Based on your answers, a professional colorist formulates your hair color and devises instructions personalized for your hair.


I couldn't quite put a finger on what color my dyed hair actually was. I said it was a medium blonde copper color according to their swatches, but I think it may have actually been a dark blonde copper color. So in turn i didn't exactly get the results I wanted. But I'm not dissatisfied either. My hair is a lighter copper color in natural light, but looks more blonde under artificial light. I like the color but it's not the "warm beige" blonde I was hoping for.


I was really impressed with the way they packaged everything, and all the stuff they give you for free!
