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). Connect with a colourist today and start crafting your unique shade.

It didn't dye the white well
After 6 washes the white has lost most of the colour that did take

Terrible company

The good - The colour I was sent was really lovely.

The bad - the colour only lasted 1 week!
I signed up to try the £10 promo offer, I’ve received no communication at all from the company. The colour took over a week to arrive. And now they have taken £27 out of my account and send me another colour that I do not want. I’ve tried to go on the website and pause the plan (you can’t cancel) but there is no way to do so. Will not be using again. And now have to waste my time sending emails etc to try to stop this company taking more of my money I didn’t give them permission to take.

They were good to start with but needed to cancel order due to funds. did so online before the renewal date to get my next delivery. Item still arrived. Put in a PayPal complaint and they said I had not returned item at my cost even though I had already cancelled in good time. Would never use again

I would give them 0 star if I could.
Never expected having to review it this way, but I applied my colour as instructed -I have doing my colour myself for years and years- and encouraged by reviews, the professional response and friends's recommendations, I was over the moon anticipating what glorious results I was going to get. Well... it did not work like that. The colour was as required, beautiful, but it did not cover my greys AND it lasted about 6 days... 8 at the most... I am not an alchemist, but I guess some ingredient was missing in the mix. Shame.
