I am always so excited to share this at home color options with you! I know I would be upsetting some hairdressers. But in reality like I've said before, people will color their hair at home regardless, might as well inform them to do it correctly. I love to share my knowledge and tips with everyone! My goal is to have everyone have their dream hair. Whether I got you there in a salon, or through my tutorials. :) So I was really excited to see such an amazing service and be able to share it with you all. Even though this I do have to say, my tutorials or suggestions aren't ever meant to completely replace a hairdresser. Also if you are trying to jump say 4 or more levels, esalon may say that isnt possible. And that is why I love this company. It really is fool proof. :) But if you are looking a couple for a change of a couple of levels check this out!! Thank you all for watching!
Oh my goodness I don't know how I missed this video, but I'm sooo glad I went to check your channel before going through anywhere else! I'll definitely be getting on the bandwagon with you!! I trust your word, I trust your judgement. If you say it's good, I know you are telling Nothing but the truth! You wouldn't steer us wrong just to make $ and that's 1 thing I love about you! To anyone who might get upset, don't worry about them. People will find something to pick at no matter what. Thank you for letting us know about this company!!
ellebangs Thanks Ellle for sharing this video, I have a question, What about if hair is highlighted like a ombre style, It is possible that they can customized for 2 shades hair color.. I have ombre style, level 7 and level 12 the highlighted part of hair..what d yu think about OLAPLEX products for bleaching hair.. I just finished ordering..Thank you for your time..!!
Great video. I'm a stylist too, and I believe that helping your client make informed decisions is the most important thing. You doing this video shows you care about the people, not just making money.
Noooo what just happened - please continue the chalkboard explanation in a different video. I was like yes yes yes this is what I need and then it switched to an ESalon testimonial lol . I'd love to see more of the chalkboard explanation if you're able. You are incredibly knowledgeable and have such an amazing positive aura thank you for all you videos.
I LOVE your mini master class idea.. DO MORE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!! Not that I would try to do my own hair necessarily (I'm a light blonde with highlights, a few lowlight pieces here and there and very picky about the color) but so I understand more how to communicate with my stylist and know what I and he are talking about. And it's actually really interesting to me, but I'm not going to go to beauty school. About the product: I'm surprised gloves don't come with it, but I'm shocked (in a good way) that all the other extras do. As I was watching the video, I was thinking, 'No way is she going to do her hair with this', so it doesn't surprise me that you didn't. I can understand why you wouldn't, being a hairstylist, but I agree with some other comments regarding how you would know how good it is if you don't try it. The concept is amazing though I think.
I have just used esalon for the first time after box dyes seemed to go brassy quickly. Asked for dark blonde all over. I am pleased with the result. Having watched many videos about hair colouring now it looks like even permanent hair colours fade over time. The answer is to use neutralisers to lessen the fading between re-colouring.
You should include when you buy a box initiall with the Esalon, it's actually a subscription, 20$ plus 5 for shipping for up to every 12 weeks. And that the set of the gloves and clips and timer and such is an extra 12$... Still a great deal! But I feel like it should be included? Not like it's your responsibility at all =] I just think it's nice information to include.
I got the best color and it’s healthy. I believe it may have a toner in it was never red, gray or yellow! It was perfect and you can start and stop whenever you want! Try it!
Found is company on my own . . . well, you surf enough about a subject and links appear in your browser. LOVE esalon, I found a "box" color that I loved and it worked great the 1st time, the 2nd time - wow WRONG! So, I thought what the heck, let me give esalon a try - told them what I did and THEY FIXED MY HAIR COLOR! Med Golden Brown, I have been warming up the color each time, you know how red fades so didn't want to make that commitment . . . so, I'm gradually going redder - with the auto delivery, I'm making the jump to Auburn. I can't say enough about how my hair feels, how great the color looks, I'm headed back to the color I was in my early 20's. I love your channel and wish I had found you sooner! Great tips, styles - Awesome information.
I love UA-cam, all these video's you are sharing with a totally clueless woman (ME) from someone like YOU who is about educating all of us...Thank you so much and Namaste!!
I love using eSalon!! Have been using them for a couple years now, and they make it so fool-proof. I recently changed my color from a blonde color to a light to medium brown, and they were great with making sure that I didn't go too dark too fast. You can also tweek the undertones of your color to make it perfect!
Don't forget to tell everyone you have to keep buying this stuff on auto ship. I took your advice and tried the hair care and it's awful. My hair is like straw when I use it. Now I can't find a way to cancel products. Very dissatisfied.
You explain everything beautifully, but can you explain how to lighten a dark brown *non virgin* hair? If you could make a video with a model with a colored dark brown hair and show how to lighten the ends a little to a lighter brown, it will be great!
Ok so this service really is legit. I decided to really complicate the process with my yellow toned blonde hair and mousey roots with a little pink at the ends and requested an even all over color mixed for me. I gave pictures of my typical everyday styled hair, a close up of the ends to see the yellowish tone and pink ends, as well as a snap of my grown out roots. I was contacted within 2 hours via email to make recommendations, ask further questions, and really go back and forth with me to ensure I would be satisfied with the outcome of what was sent to me. We decided on a shade darker, cooler, and 15 volume developer with some added instructions on a few things to do the day before I color. Mind you, this is the $10 start up deal and in no way shape or form would I expect this level of thorough here!
Thank you so much for this! I definitely will be trying this. you are going to save us so much money with your tutorials! last week I cut my hair and both of my daughter's hair. We look great. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Im learning alot with your videos im starting to do my hair at home because im tired of paying alot of money to salons that ruin my hair..thanks for the videos please keep uploading.
Speaking of boxed dyes, I have to compliment and recommend Loreal Feria Absolute Platinum for someone trying to go blonde. Had to do my hair twice, but after toning with Wella T10 after 1st dye, then T18 after saturating second time with bleach, my hair is white with slight amt of color. Very thick bleach so subbed some of my clear 20 vol. Dev, but still helps to use filler b4 as well as coconut oil to help it from drying out too much. Thank you so much for all your help and great posts. You helped me to get my hair right for about $40-$50. Have 5 kids, so not much $ goes to the salon. Also thanks to somegirljess, who is a great "product tester" for people that can't go to the salon.
I have in the last 2 days created my own hair disaster. Thank God for you & e-salon, it just may save my sanity!! Definitely trying this! (At this point, it can't get much worse)
Your hair looks nice already, I am excited to see how it looks after you use the new box, and I've seen the advertisement, and was wondering about it but you have answered some of the questions that I did not get answered for myself. Again, looking forward to your transformation!
I really liked the eSalon product, but the company could not give me a product that would lighten my hair more than a golden blonde and I have dark blonde hair to begin with. They basically said I could not go more than about one shade lighter. It was almost the color I wanted, but not quite so I had to go back to the regular drug store box color for a lighter blonde. It did cover grays very well and I was impressed with that aspect. Elle, I am surprised that you could get a blonde product that is so light. Did you give them your current color instead? Maybe that is what I should do. Let me know your thoughts.
Oh man. I tried eSalon because of your recommendation. Big mistake. It seems like redheads and brunettes have better luck with their color. They're experts? Ok, so why do they seem to send everyone 15v developer? I just watched another youtube reviewer and read a totally separate blog review, all had 15v developer. (ok so 3 people is not definitive proof.) I talked to someone at eSalon and said I need ASH blonde. Maybe I wasn't adamant enough about it. My hair is orange now. I've never had results like this with box color from the store. I was not trying to go from brown to blonde, I was actually trying to go slightly darker, from light-medium blonde (warm) to medium ash blonde upon their recommendation!!! Don't fall for the gimmicks, people! If you've had success with box color in the past, just stick with it!
I've hardly had any issues with box dye. If you stick to close to your natural hair color or pick neutral or cool tones you will be ok. It's when you want to jump in color or go from neutral to a golden tone(can cause brassy red in colors) makes it harder. Plus my sister gets her hair dyed at the salons and says it fades after 3 weeks. No different from box dye.
Thank you Elle, I have seen this before, lastbyear..Ur looks great, I have a problem as hair grows our platinum blonde now, so they have to add color back in..I am a light blonde and want more yellow in it but not dark..I am very light skinned..Love you and your hair color and style..I have been subbed to you for a year now.. wish my hair was brown, with auburn like when I was young, then I could get your color .The hair stylist I have tried to close it a 7 or 8 and had to foil the whole head as it was too dark, and came out grey, they trued 4 colors on my head, all bad, did not work. But the foil thank God, brought back my light blonde...It's a pleasure as always you are so informative, I trust you...Have a Beautiful day!!! 💖
If you don't like the dye cancel the plan after you receive the order. I found I could use half of the mixtures and save the rest for another time as they gave a generous amount. I wanted blue black but my ends were still red/ orange . They offered me a free one if I stayed on the plan.
I know this vid is over a year old, but I just came across your channel yesterday while researching how to fix my orangey roots from a bleach job by someone who sent me home without toning... Anyway, I cannot afford salon visits. So I am excited to hear about eSalon, and will definitely try them out! P.S. I love your videos; I've learned a lot!
My hardest problem is figuring out my start color. I also have highlights , lowlights and something really dark I don't like. . But I will look and see how they do this. Thank you for sharing!I did learn more about developers!
I have used this product. The concept is great but they fail at really giving you the color you want. I didn't have the best experience with them. And seemed to go around in circles with them understanding the color I wanted. And I wasn't looking for anything drastic either.
OMG thankyou so much, I died my hair with box colour and it weant a weird ginger when I wanted blonde, I used this website it was so easy and fun and the colour is absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I wanted l, highly recommended!!!
THANKS ELLE...I WANT YOUR HAIR COLOUR SO I WENT TO THE SITE PROVIDED AND ORDERED A COLOUR, I AM VERY EXCITED, THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO.....TAMMY XO
Well explained Silvia. I understand which color to use but the developer still is confusing! Had to giggle about how often you said "basically" ☺️ Kisses, Sissi 😘😘😘
wish you would do a video for us beginners for understanding the papers inside the boxes of professional colors in mixing colors with toners. the amount of this color mixed with a toner
I don't have much hair left so I wear wigs full time but there was a salon in my hometown who did something similar. You went in once for a consultation. They developed the formula for you, applied it the first time (at salon prices) but then you could order the color after that for about $30. It was really great! Glad to hear there is a company doing something nationwide!
I colored my hair black about 10 months ago & I tried to see what this company would recommend & they gave me only the option of getting a violet or ash tone but still black.. I would like to change it to a light brown though..
I am already signed up just waiting. I wanted to enjoy my ombre for a while longer than I will go back to the dark side in the fall. I'm more stoked to use these products now that you have given them your stamp of approval XOXO 💋
Thank you for sharing all this helpful information! I'm a visual learner so the white board definitely helped! And ESalon! Omg! Unbelievable! Thanks again! 🤗🤗🤗
Yeah. I don't understand how she knows it works if she didn't try it. The system may be convenient, but what if the product is crap? I don't mean to criticize, I'm just curious.
I didn't like it personally. She may have been sponsored by them and so she's promoting it . I didn't get a consultant , which I thought I would as I uploaded pics and asked questions. And I feel like it damaged my hair
You have explained this so well and detailed. I was on the fence about trying this company, but now I am going to try it. Thanks so much! I have subscribed. 😀
Same here. Sent a pic, described everything. The result is exactly what she de said a "box dye" gives: orange roots and nothing or darker hair on the length. It also damaged my hair much more than any box dye I ever used in the last 20 years... eSalon sucks!!!
I first heard about this on another youtubers channel and I like you,.. was really impressed. Ty for the lesson although I'm a hair stylist but color is something im branching out on. I really apprecitae your knowlegde. xx
+kaetlin rollison That's because you've exposed the underlying pigment. But wait! I thought you'd get "everything you need for that perfect color?" I guess esalom jacked up your hair. These are the clients I love. I can fix it... for $80 an hour in my chair.
Gurl you are so confident!! In past videos you seem real shy. This is your calling you have the passion and it shows. I wish you weren't so far I'd luv u to do my hair. My lady does beautiful color but her cuts suck. I have often wondered would she be offended if I told her to watch your videos.
Hello, Love this.... However what I have the most trouble with are covering my greys.. I'm 44yrs young color my greys every three weeks but the color fades so quickly whether I home color or have it done at the salon. Do I need to use a stonger developer? Or is this just what I have to live with. Thank you so much for taking the time to make all these videos, I love watching..and look forward to them.
For grey coverage you should be using 20 vol. You can also try using a bit of the developer on a cotton ball and wipe in on any of the areas that fade the worst (before colouring), this is called "pre softening", it helps open up the hair cuticle to allow the colour in penetrate. Hope that helps :)
Mini Vegan actually for greys, it's 10 volume unless you use Schwarzkopf, in which case, it's 30 volume. 20 volume lifts by 1 level, in some cases, it can leave the person with 'glowing' roots, when it uncovers their natural warmth, I've seen people take on a slight orange hue, so unless you're colouring someone who is a 7 and you're making them a 8, stick to 10 volume. I had issues in the past with 20 vol, never with 10
YAY! This is awesome! I usually get my products at beauty alliance but I might have to try this out! You explain stuff soo very well! Better than my cosmetology teacher did!! Hahaha!! Anyways HAPPY EASTER SILVIA AND ADAM!! Can't wait for the next video! See ya then! Xoxoxoxo Ps. I can't wait to wear my NYX blue and purple eyeshadows, to match my easter dress today!!! Lol! I can't thank u enough for the stuff you gave me! I will never forget it!! Xoxoxoxo
Man this was exactly the problem I had with boxed dye recently...my virgin hair was lighter, the ends were dark and now I have a weird reverse ombre going on where my roots are lighter red and the ends are daaark red almost brown. Not cute. You would think I'd learn not to mess with boxed dyes! Kinda scared to touch my hair but KNOW I need to do something...will see if this service can help me out, thank you for the video!
I did an at home ombre a few months ago and I LOVED IT!! then had to do a touch up, it didn't lighten the ends enough so I asked a Sally's beauty "hair specialist" to help. she gave me wella toner in 118 and my hair went this horrible orange color, I was so upset! NEVER AGAIN will I go to that store for advice!
caroline izod right!!! I googled and looked on UA-cam and I couldn't find anything about it. Idk if she gave me some expired toner or what but omg it was worse after toning it!!
Shawna Hill yeah it could have been, or maybe it could have been what you used on your hair to lighten it? im not sure. have you fixed it now though? :)
I checked them out, and my natural color is probably along your lines, and they didnt recommend blonde as an improved color, they said it wasnt possible, so how come they sent you a blonde?
25 bucks for a hair color purchase sounds ridiculous. It's good for those who get their hair professionally done. They save tons of money. But if you are a box dye person, just stick with that if it works for you.
I'm allergic to hair colour and going to hair salons is too damn expensive! The last time I went to a hair salon to cut my fringe it cost me £12 pounds only for a cut of very small amount of hair!
we didn't see you use this.... huh i wonder why, lol... I love your videos but this one...not too much... This product is only good if you want to go darker or red... in which case you can get from a boxed color...
Aww, I'm disappointed in the video :( I wish you could have explained how to get it right...or straight out day there is no hope for boxed dye on your title. Still love you though, but, uff 🙁💔
I used a 4N from Sally today with a 20 developer to cover my gray roots and the results are fantastic, a perfect match thank god. But I have heard Sally color is not recommended, why is that? It did burn my skin a little mostly around my neck could that just be the alcohol? It cost $7 to do my hair today vs. $80-$90 at the salon. Do you give Wella color at Sally a thumbs up? Thank you Oh yeah, what is your lipstick you have on? I love it.
Hi! Desperately seeing help! I know the makers of these videos do not always answer these ?'s, but perhaps at least some knowledgeable readers will! (and yes, I know best answer is go to professional) However I am on very tight budget right now, looking for work, and will all know; like it or not; appearance matters. So, I really really appreciate the service provided here; On to my dilemma: I have (the last time I saw it :P) what I would consider dark blonde, level 6 hair naturally. As I think is often with that shade, it actually was some type of mix, with over the years lighter hair on top and in front from the sun, those natural highlights. Before I knew what I was doing, I used box dye in attempt to get a level 9 or so. Well this kind of worked... on the light areas, however in the back and underneath, I got brassy yuk. Now I understand why, to go 3-4 levels I would need a 40 level developer. So, I have now moved up to the better way of buying products at a beauty supply store. Basically I want to start from scratch to I can do things properly. 1. If I buy a color remover, and do that, will my hair be considered "virgen" now and I can start from scratch? My hair is very short now ( I chopped off most to get ride of bad color). or must I use bleach to strip off old color. Bleach makes me nervous. I do not want to be platinum or fry my hair cause I don't have much left :). How does that work with bleach then, do I bleach first then color after that in a second step (apply the blond shade I want? What I don't like about the bleach idea, is that when I have seen blondes who have used bleach, the color is very flat, because everything stripped takes away the natural highlights. Right now, I like how the color touches the different shades in my natural hair, keeping a natural look, just light (except for the underneath and the back... which are leaning to ugly brass. Any input greatly appreciated. I really trust you Sylvia, there are a lot of sites that offer advice... but I'm not sure about it.
So I was VERY excited about this! I want to go a few shades lighter for the summer but when I went to choose my desired color it wouldn't let me pick ANYA light shades :(
Thank you so much! I really learn more from you, than I was taught at como school. Lol Oh what shade is your lip color. I love it! You & I seem to have the same, blonde hair color on our level 6 natural color. Thanks to your educational videos. I'm also have neutral skin tone & Amber brown eye's. So you've really helped me not only understand my beauty care needs but my clients as well. I'll definitely keep sharing your video & ideas.
I used to use esalon but they won't send anything that lifts color..you didn't state that in your video. You can only change the tone of your current color or go darker. I went from a natural level 5/6 to a 7 base with light blonde highlights so have to go to a salon. E salon is limited in what they do.
Hi Elle, I will try the E salon and I will let you know. Your videos are very informative. I do not have time to run to the beauty salon all the time. Right now I corrected a yellow with a formula that my hairstylist provided, however, the color looks too hashy. So that I need to correct it again.
Omg !! You are so right !! That happened to me I did my hair at home and the bottom part stayed the same color !! I was like ! What ! This did not change ! And it looks a littler green ! How do I get a nice blonde !! Omg ! It’s hard with regular box hair colors from the store
Sometimes using hair color by itself is not enough to achieve the right color. Especially when your hair is dark and trying to go light. It usually comes out gold or too yellow. You need highlights and sometimes lowlights.
Girl I thought you were going to tell us how to achieve that level 9 from a level 3 in one day 😞... I'm tired of going to salons ,spending $300 for it to still be messed up and them having a manager "correct" it, only it's never corrected but only to find out my hair is melted off 😩... I need YOUR advice!
Well going from a level 3 to a level 9 is pretty impossible without having to bleach multiple times.. And can only be done healthy it virgin hair.. So there isn't a one step solution for this
Elle, I'm curious how you received a match from ESalon. I have the same natural color as you - except that my hair has a more reddish tone. ESalon was not able to help me because the strongest developer they will send is a 20 volume. I appreciate ESalon's honesty and customer service. I guess I have to stick to the salon....
I haven't yet had a colour at home fail (fingers crossed!) although I have never tried to go blonde or much lighter at home. I have done various brunette shades, reds, coppers, purples and black at home but always go to my salon to go blonde. I would say box colour is great for any of those but not for going much lighter or blonde.
I hope it works for others, but that company totally messed my hair up. They gave me something that darkened my naturally blonde hair three levels. Total disaster for the middle of summer.
I checked them out once and if you say you have high lights they won't touch it!!! So no base color for me I guess???? I guess I will have to stick to high lights and deal with my gray.... ugh
Ha!! I can't even get perfect color in a salon. I decided to get away from the very pale blond that I wore for so many years...have tried at least five times to just do a neutral dark blond. It is real dark on me and I don't mind that. What I do mind is that is has REDDISH TONES!!! Everyone says No, it looks brown to me. NO IT LOOKS RED TO ME. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO!! I have some people who have told me to put a diluted Titanium/gray cover on hair and it will turn a beautiful color, minus the red/brassy tones. If I have to pay at the salon, they need to deliver the color I want. I mean it can't be that hard???

Amber Morgan You have to be a professional with a license to purchase OLAPLEX ..Cost is $195.00 from OLAPLEX company.
Great video. I'm a stylist too, and I believe that helping your client make informed decisions is the most important thing. You doing this video shows you care about the people, not just making money.
Noooo what just happened - please continue the chalkboard explanation in a different video. I was like yes yes yes this is what I need and then it switched to an ESalon testimonial lol . I'd love to see more of the chalkboard explanation if you're able. You are incredibly knowledgeable and have such an amazing positive aura thank you for all you videos.

It seems as though all of that info should've been a no brainer to include in this video. Good point HeylmValarie18.
HeyImValarie18 Yes I think the gloves clips timer and bowl should be included as a new subscriber! hopefully they do that in the future.
Agree 100% and thank you for telling us!!
But she didn't actually use the product. How can she recommend a product without using it!?
I got the best color and it’s healthy. I believe it may have a toner in it was never red, gray or yellow! It was perfect and you can start and stop whenever you want! Try it!

omg! these people kept driving me nuts to buy there color. but I was to scared ... you have given me the confidence to buy it. thanks Elle x
I love using eSalon!! Have been using them for a couple years now, and they make it so fool-proof.

ya but the queation is, did you try the actual color to see if it came thru?
You explain everything beautifully, but can you explain how to lighten a dark brown *non virgin* hair?
If you could make a video with a model with a colored dark brown hair and show how to lighten the ends a little to a lighter brown, it will be great!
Ok so this service really is legit. I decided to really complicate the process with my yellow toned blonde hair and mousey roots with a little pink at the ends and requested an even all over color mixed for me.

Mind you, this is the $10 start up deal and in no way shape or form would I expect this level of thorough here!
Thank you so much for this! I definitely will be trying this. you are going to save us so much money with your tutorials! last week I cut my hair and both of my daughter's hair. We look great. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Thanks Elle! I've been a "bathroom beautician" for 30+ years and really appreciate you sharing this. I will definitely try them out.
Are you going to try the hair color on your self? A before and after?
Sasha Peck ha Ye rigjt doubt that one lol
What! I need to try this out myself! I been using jet black box dye for years and my hair is lifeless and I want to go lighter. Amazing idea!
Im learning alot with your videos im starting to do my hair at home because im tired of paying alot of money to salons that ruin my hair..thanks for the videos please keep uploading.
Speaking of boxed dyes, I have to compliment and recommend Loreal Feria Absolute Platinum for someone trying to go blonde. Had to do my hair twice, but after toning with Wella T10 after 1st dye, then T18 after saturating second time with bleach, my hair is white with slight amt of color. Very thick bleach so subbed some of my clear 20 vol. Dev, but still helps to use filler b4 as well as coconut oil to help it from drying out too much. Thank you so much for all your help and great posts. You helped me to get my hair right for about $40-$50. Have 5 kids, so not much $ goes to the salon. Also thanks to somegirljess, who is a great "product tester" for people that can't go to the salon.
I have in the last 2 days created my own hair disaster. Thank God for you & e-salon, it just may save my sanity!! Definitely trying this! (At this point, it can't get much worse)
Sylvia, you've changed my life! Well, part of my life. Thank you so much for your vids! I'm a huge fan!
Your hair looks nice already, I am excited to see how it looks after you use the new box, and I've seen the advertisement, and was wondering about it but you have answered some of the questions that I did not get answered for myself.
Again, looking forward to your transformation!
I really liked the eSalon product, but the company could not give me a product that would lighten my hair more than a golden blonde and I have dark blonde hair to begin with. They basically said I could not go more than about one shade lighter. It was almost the color I wanted, but not quite so I had to go back to the regular drug store box color for a lighter blonde. It did cover grays very well and I was impressed with that aspect. Elle, I am surprised that you could get a blonde product that is so light. Did you give them your current color instead? Maybe that is what I should do. Let me know your thoughts.
Oh man. I tried eSalon because of your recommendation. Big mistake. It seems like redheads and brunettes have better luck with their color. They're experts? Ok, so why do they seem to send everyone 15v developer? I just watched another youtube reviewer and read a totally separate blog review, all had 15v developer. (ok so 3 people is not definitive proof.) I talked to someone at eSalon and said I need ASH blonde. Maybe I wasn't adamant enough about it. My hair is orange now. I've never had results like this with box color from the store. I was not trying to go from brown to blonde, I was actually trying to go slightly darker, from light-medium blonde (warm) to medium ash blonde upon their recommendation!!! Don't fall for the gimmicks, people! If you've had success with box color in the past, just stick with it!
I've hardly had any issues with box dye. If you stick to close to your natural hair color or pick neutral or cool tones you will be ok. It's when you want to jump in color or go from neutral to a golden tone(can cause brassy red in colors) makes it harder. Plus my sister gets her hair dyed at the salons and says it fades after 3 weeks. No different from box dye.
I got 20 developer?
Thank you Elle, I have seen this before, lastbyear..Ur looks great, I have a problem as hair grows our platinum blonde now, so they have to add color back in..I am a light blonde and want more yellow in it but not dark..I am very light skinned..Love you and your hair color and style..I have been subbed to you for a year now.. wish my hair was brown, with auburn like when I was young, then I could get your color .The hair stylist I have tried to close it a 7 or 8 and had to foil the whole head as it was too dark, and came out grey, they trued 4 colors on my head, all bad, did not work. But the foil thank God, brought back my light blonde...It's a pleasure as always you are so informative, I trust you...Have a Beautiful day!!! 💖
If you don't like the dye cancel the plan after you receive the order. I found I could use half of the mixtures and save the rest for another time as they gave a generous amount. I wanted blue black but my ends were still red/ orange . They offered me a free one if I stayed on the plan.
I know this vid is over a year old, but I just came across your channel yesterday while researching how to fix my orangey roots from a bleach job by someone who sent me home without toning... Anyway, I cannot afford salon visits. So I am excited to hear about eSalon, and will definitely try them out! P.S. I love your videos; I've learned a lot!
My hardest problem is figuring out my start color. I also have highlights , lowlights and something really dark I don't like. . But I will look and see how they do this. Thank you for sharing!I did learn more about developers!
I have used this product. The concept is great but they fail at really giving you the color you want. I didn't have the best experience with them. And seemed to go around in circles with them understanding the color I wanted. And I wasn't looking for anything drastic either.
OMG thankyou so much, I died my hair with box colour and it weant a weird ginger when I wanted blonde, I used this website it was so easy and fun and the colour is absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I wanted l, highly recommended!!!
isxbelsky
Thanks for the home colour sight. Looks great. Will use it.
Wow this company does sound amazing, I might just check it out.
Oh wow this is amazing. I wish they had this here in Australia, then again it would probably cost 4 times the amount, such a great idea
what's the gloss/lip color in the thumbnail?
THANKS ELLE...I WANT YOUR HAIR COLOUR SO I WENT TO THE SITE PROVIDED AND ORDERED A COLOUR, I AM VERY EXCITED, THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO.....TAMMY XO
Yay congrats! Excited for your awesome results!
I ASKED FOR THE SAME COLOR AS YOURS...LOL...HOPE IT TURNS OUT.....I DON'T LIKE THE BRASSY COLOR THAT COMES SHORTLY AFTER USING BOX DYE
Well explained Silvia. I understand which color to use but the developer still is confusing! Had to giggle about how often you said "basically" ☺️ Kisses, Sissi 😘😘😘
wish you would do a video for us beginners for understanding the papers inside the boxes of professional colors in mixing colors with toners. the amount of this color mixed with a toner
Thanks for educating me about hair color. E Salon is great!
I am a cosmetologist and never heard of them .. Sounds great!!!!
I don't have much hair left so I wear wigs full time but there was a salon in my hometown who did something similar. You went in once for a consultation. They developed the formula for you, applied it the first time (at salon prices) but then you could order the color after that for about $30. It was really great! Glad to hear there is a company doing something nationwide!
I colored my hair black about 10 months ago & I tried to see what this company would recommend & they gave me only the option of getting a violet or ash tone but still black.. I would like to change it to a light brown though..
Im so excited to watch this but I will wait til I get home and relax with some tea.
I just ordered my color and can't wait to try it. Good video!
I am already signed up just waiting. I wanted to enjoy my ombre for a while longer than I will go back to the dark side in the fall. I'm more stoked to use these products now that you have given them your stamp of approval
XOXO 💋
Oh yay! You will have to share with us your amazing results!
I will 😊 love ya
XOXO 💋
Thank you for sharing all this helpful information! I'm a visual learner so the white board definitely helped! And ESalon! Omg! Unbelievable! Thanks again! 🤗🤗🤗
Can you use what they sent you and do a video? Talk about the results and process?
Yeah. I don't understand how she knows it works if she didn't try it. The system may be convenient, but what if the product is crap? I don't mean to criticize, I'm just curious.
I didn't like it personally. She may have been sponsored by them and so she's promoting it . I didn't get a consultant , which I thought I would as I uploaded pics and asked questions. And I feel like it damaged my hair
@@meganmil21 u heard about money talks?
Cool as all your videos, thank you Elle, so pretty. God bless, happy new year!
You have explained this so well and detailed. I was on the fence about trying this company, but now I am going to try it. Thanks so much! I have subscribed. 😀
Sounds interesting. I would have loved to see a before and after
e salon's hair dyes didn't do the job properly. tried it twice, sent a photo, description- Nope! don't waste your money!
Same
Same here. Sent a pic, described everything. The result is exactly what she de said a "box dye" gives: orange roots and nothing or darker hair on the length. It also damaged my hair much more than any box dye I ever used in the last 20 years... eSalon sucks!!!
I as well they charged me for a bayalage color then sent me a roots only color !!!?? I WILL NEVER USE ESALON SYLIVA STOP SELLING OUT !!!
Love your content! I learn so much. Need to make drinking game for every time you say "basically" lol!!
I first heard about this on another youtubers channel and I like you,.. was really impressed. Ty for the lesson although I'm a hair stylist but color is something im branching out on. I really apprecitae your knowlegde. xx
My drugstore colors work just perfectly. It’s about trail and error. I’ve had one mess up and many successes. Just about knowing your hair.
Box color does work perfectly fine if it’s used right and on the recommended natural levels
E Salon did not work for me for ... I went from good to bad orange.
Same here. Didn't work. I told them I don't want any orange or red. Boom. It's red. Even with the color shampoo stuff
+kaetlin rollison That's because you've exposed the underlying pigment. But wait! I thought you'd get "everything you need for that perfect color?" I guess esalom jacked up your hair. These are the clients I love. I can fix it... for $80 an hour in my chair.
Gurl you are so confident!! In past videos you seem real shy. This is your calling you have the passion and it shows. I wish you weren't so far I'd luv u to do my hair. My lady does beautiful color but her cuts suck. I have often wondered would she be offended if I told her to watch your videos.
Tracy Spencer z
Thank you for sharing! I would love to try it. Are you going to do a tutorial using this new product? I would love to see the results.
Thank you ElleBangs!
Love learning about hair color!
It's good to ask your stylist - don't take
a chance on box colors!

Hello, Love this.... However what I have the most trouble with are covering my greys..
I'm 44yrs young color my greys every three weeks but the color fades so quickly whether I home color or have it done at the salon. Do I need to use a stonger developer? Or is this just what I have to live with.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make all these videos, I love watching..and look forward to them.
It asks about that on the Esalon so maybe they have something to help. :)
For grey coverage you should be using 20 vol. You can also try using a bit of the developer on a cotton ball and wipe in on any of the areas that fade the worst (before colouring), this is called "pre softening", it helps open up the hair cuticle to allow the colour in penetrate. Hope that helps :)
Amy Berry I never heard of that but I am seriously going to try that method, thank you.
Mini Vegan actually for greys, it's 10 volume unless you use Schwarzkopf, in which case, it's 30 volume. 20 volume lifts by 1 level, in some cases, it can leave the person with 'glowing' roots, when it uncovers their natural warmth, I've seen people take on a slight orange hue, so unless you're colouring someone who is a 7 and you're making them a 8, stick to 10 volume. I had issues in the past with 20 vol, never with 10
Fab that is not true at all, using a 10 vol will not cover gray
YAY! This is awesome! I usually get my products at beauty alliance but I might have to try this out! You explain stuff soo very well! Better than my cosmetology teacher did!! Hahaha!! Anyways HAPPY EASTER SILVIA AND ADAM!! Can't wait for the next video! See ya then! Xoxoxoxo
Ps. I can't wait to wear my NYX blue and purple eyeshadows, to match my easter dress today!!! Lol! I can't thank u enough for the stuff you gave me! I will never forget it!! Xoxoxoxo
Olivia! !!!!!!! your myGIRL
This is so awesome!!! I'm excited to try this company out!
Aww I was hoping for a run down on what numbers indicate cool and what indicate warm
Man this was exactly the problem I had with boxed dye recently...my virgin hair was lighter, the ends were dark and now I have a weird reverse ombre going on where my roots are lighter red and the ends are daaark red almost brown. Not cute. You would think I'd learn not to mess with boxed dyes! Kinda scared to touch my hair but KNOW I need to do something...will see if this service can help me out, thank you for the video!
I did an at home ombre a few months ago and I LOVED IT!! then had to do a touch up, it didn't lighten the ends enough so I asked a Sally's beauty "hair specialist" to help. she gave me wella toner in 118 and my hair went this horrible orange color, I was so upset! NEVER AGAIN will I go to that store for advice!
Shawna Hill a toner shouldnt make hair go orange, in fact the opposite, that sounds strange
caroline izod right!!! I googled and looked on UA-cam and I couldn't find anything about it. Idk if she gave me some expired toner or what but omg it was worse after toning it!!
Shawna Hill yeah it could have been, or maybe it could have been what you used on your hair to lighten it? im not sure. have you fixed it now though? :)
Talents a gift
It isn't a privilege.
So use it and
Give back
With a smile
😘
I love your funny kat chats...how about stories about getting in trouble.. love your family stories!! 💕
you are gorgeous. i usually use box hair color because i don't trust anyone. bad experiences. if i could get to you id have you do my hair
I checked them out, and my natural color is probably along your lines, and they didnt recommend blonde as an improved color, they said it wasnt possible, so how come they sent you a blonde?
I wish you had done a demo and then a before & after shots(s).
Thank you!!!! I just ordered from this site...I can't wait! What a find :)
I have try that e stuff and it didn't work on my color i wanted.
Box color works for me!
25 bucks for a hair color purchase sounds ridiculous. It's good for those who get their hair professionally done. They save tons of money. But if you are a box dye person, just stick with that if it works for you.
I'm allergic to hair colour and going to hair salons is too damn expensive! The last time I went to a hair salon to cut my fringe it cost me £12 pounds only for a cut of very small amount of hair!
we didn't see you use this.... huh i wonder why, lol... I love your videos but this one...not too much... This product is only good if you want to go darker or red... in which case you can get from a boxed color...
Aww, I'm disappointed in the video :( I wish you could have explained how to get it right...or straight out day there is no hope for boxed dye on your title. Still love you though, but, uff 🙁💔
I used a 4N from Sally today with a 20 developer to cover my gray roots and the results are fantastic, a perfect match thank god. But I have heard Sally color is not recommended, why is that? It did burn my skin a little mostly around my neck could that just be the alcohol? It cost $7 to do my hair today vs. $80-$90 at the salon. Do you give Wella color at Sally a thumbs up? Thank you Oh yeah, what is your lipstick you have on? I love it.
julieandjace oy
julieandjace do you remember the amounts in ounces per developer that you used?
Hi! Desperately seeing help! I know the makers of these videos do not always answer these ?'s, but perhaps at least some knowledgeable readers will! (and yes, I know best answer is go to professional) However I am on very tight budget right now, looking for work, and will all know; like it or not; appearance matters. So, I really really appreciate the service provided here; On to my dilemma:
I have (the last time I saw it :P) what I would consider dark blonde, level 6 hair naturally. As I think is often with that shade, it actually was some type of mix, with over the years lighter hair on top and in front from the sun, those natural highlights. Before I knew what I was doing, I used box dye in attempt to get a level 9 or so. Well this kind of worked... on the light areas, however in the back and underneath, I got brassy yuk. Now I understand why, to go 3-4 levels I would need a 40 level developer. So, I have now moved up to the better way of buying products at a beauty supply store.
Basically I want to start from scratch to I can do things properly. 1. If I buy a color remover, and do that, will my hair be considered "virgen" now and I can start from scratch? My hair is very short now ( I chopped off most to get ride of bad color). or must I use bleach to strip off old color. Bleach makes me nervous. I do not want to be platinum or fry my hair cause I don't have much left :). How does that work with bleach then, do I bleach first then color after that in a second step (apply the blond shade I want? What I don't like about the bleach idea, is that when I have seen blondes who have used bleach, the color is very flat, because everything stripped takes away the natural highlights. Right now, I like how the color touches the different shades in my natural hair, keeping a natural look, just light (except for the underneath and the back... which are leaning to ugly brass.
Any input greatly appreciated. I really trust you Sylvia, there are a lot of sites that offer advice... but I'm not sure about it.
What is on ur lips? Perfect frosty pink for u!
So I was VERY excited about this! I want to go a few shades lighter for the summer but when I went to choose my desired color it wouldn't let me pick ANYA light shades :(
The estyle sounds great but my hair is so long and thick I would need two or three of those colors.
Thank you so much! I really learn more from you, than I was taught at como school. Lol Oh what shade is your lip color. I love it! You & I seem to have the same, blonde hair color on our level 6 natural color. Thanks to your educational videos. I'm also have neutral skin tone & Amber brown eye's. So you've really helped me not only understand my beauty care needs but my clients as well. I'll definitely keep sharing your video & ideas.

I used to use esalon but they won't send anything that lifts color..you didn't state that in your video. You can only change the tone of your current color or go darker. I went from a natural level 5/6 to a 7 base with light blonde highlights so have to go to a salon. E salon is limited in what they do.
Just did this. THANK YOU for this information. I’m so excited to try it.
Hi Elle, I will try the E salon and I will let you know. Your videos are very informative. I do not have time to run to the beauty salon all the time. Right now I corrected a yellow with a formula that my hairstylist provided, however, the color looks too hashy. So that I need to correct it again.
Omg !! You are so right !! That happened to me I did my hair at home and the bottom part stayed the same color !! I was like ! What ! This did not change ! And it looks a littler green ! How do I get a nice blonde !! Omg ! It’s hard with regular box hair colors from the store
Sometimes using hair color by itself is not enough to achieve the right color. Especially when your hair is dark and trying to go light. It usually comes out gold or too yellow. You need highlights and sometimes lowlights.
Girl I thought you were going to tell us how to achieve that level 9 from a level 3 in one day 😞... I'm tired of going to salons ,spending $300 for it to still be messed up and them having a manager "correct" it, only it's never corrected but only to find out my hair is melted off 😩... I need YOUR advice!
Well going from a level 3 to a level 9 is pretty impossible without having to bleach multiple times.. And can only be done healthy it virgin hair.. So there isn't a one step solution for this
ellebangs You say you can't lift hair 6 levels. Aren't you lifting your hair color atleast 6 levels at once?
Kim R she isn't lifting 6 levels from her own hair. She is probably 2 to 3 levels away from the blonde she has.
Thank you from My Heart !! I needed to come up from Dreading he Ugliness of FLAT ,un-natural looking Hair . I So Apreciate This Video
Elle, I'm curious how you received a match from ESalon. I have the same natural color as you - except that my hair has a more reddish tone. ESalon was not able to help me because the strongest developer they will send is a 20 volume. I appreciate ESalon's honesty and customer service. I guess I have to stick to the salon....
I haven't yet had a colour at home fail (fingers crossed!) although I have never tried to go blonde or much lighter at home. I have done various brunette shades, reds, coppers, purples and black at home but always go to my salon to go blonde. I would say box colour is great for any of those but not for going much lighter or blonde.
Eventing Spirit I agree, going same level or darker at home using box dyes is easy, I tried going lighter and it didn’t work out so well.....
I hope it works for others, but that company totally messed my hair up. They gave me something that darkened my naturally blonde hair three levels. Total disaster for the middle of summer.

Can you please do video on dealing with a cowlick in middle and trying to keep a center part.....
Neve mind level 10, they got dyed black hair and wants level 12.1 paper white, same day. No breakage. For 20 dollars
Doutzen Kroes at the thumbnail of the video everyone. Welcome. What a beauty omg 😰😍
I don't even know if I'm asking this question right, but: I am ginger, so where would I fall on that scale? 😯
I checked them out once and if you say you have high lights they won't touch it!!! So no base color for me I guess???? I guess I will have to stick to high lights and deal with my gray.... ugh
Shea Moisture comes with shampoo and conditioner and hair oil!
Ha!! I can't even get perfect color in a salon. I decided to get away from the very pale blond that I wore for so many years...have tried at least five times to just do a neutral dark blond. It is real dark on me and I don't mind that. What I do mind is that is has REDDISH TONES!!! Everyone says No, it looks brown to me. NO IT LOOKS RED TO ME.
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO!! I have some people who have told me to put a diluted Titanium/gray cover on hair and it will turn a beautiful color, minus the red/brassy tones. If I have to pay at the salon, they need to deliver the color I want. I mean it can't be that hard???
I love your videos! So helpful! Also, what is that pink lipstick you have on? I need that!
This is soo cool!! Thank you for the mini class in the beginning too ☺️😘👍
