Custom blended just for you!
I was recently given a chance to try eSalon customized hair color! I had heard of this customized hair color that you could order online on Rachael Ray and she just raved about it, so I was super excited to give this a try...professional results at home...I'm in!!I logged on to their website and it was very easy to navigate. You don't have to upload a picture, but it helps the stylists to see what they are working with. After a few short questions about hair type, original color and what I wanted to achieve, they were ready to send me my first coloring kit. I was also able to pick out some color-safe shampoo, a color enhancing treatment and renewing treatment oil.
I was going to be leaving for vacation in a few days and was excited to try it when I returned, but with their super fast shipping, it arrived before I even left!
First off, the packaging was adorable and I felt pampered right away. Even the directions were customized and labeled for me.
I read through the directions and everything was easy to understand. I had no problem applying the color and had more than enough for my chin-length hair. After the 30 minutes, I rinsed out the hair color (they actually give you a tip to do this in the shower because the process involves using the leftover coloring with water added to get a lather going and IT IS MESSY) and used the Heart Lock It Color Safe Shampoo (a small packet of this and the conditioner come with the kit, so don't worry if you don't order the shampoo/conditioner with your first order). The shampoo smelled really nice and had a good lather to it.
After drying my hair, I was really impressed with the results. Since I go blond, my usual hair color tends to leave my roots really pale...almost pinkish sometimes....and I was beyond pleased with the results to my roots. It covered nicely and it also was a consistent color from roots to ends. It covered most of my gray, with the exception of some super stubborn grays I have at my temple area. Next time I'm going to mention this to the online stylist, as they may be able to give me some tips on how to cover this area better.
I'll have to wait to see how long this color lasts, but I plan on using the recommended products to prolong the color and keep it vibrant. It is WAY cheaper than going to the salon and I have a feeling I will be ordering this again! You can check it out at https://www.esalon.com/.
