Has anyone tried E-Salon Color?

This is a great article. I've recently started coloring my own hair at home due to rapid grays coming in and also the fact that my hair grows alarmingly fast - much too fast to start getting it colored at a salon. Luckily, my natural hair color is black so there isn't much I have to worry about with mistakes. I keep it natural-looking and usually just use what's on sale, but I did just pick up three boxes of Garnier with the bamboo extract and LOVE IT. My hair is left silky, shiny and not smelling like a litterbox. I put on the included gloves and always use a brush and mix the product in a cheap plastic bowl and apply that way. I paint it on and usually leave it on for about 45 minutes, as I've found that most at-home box colors recommend leaving the product on for an additional 5 minutes for extra gray coverage - but that simply doesn't work for my stubborn grays. With all the internet coloring tutorials, all the at-home do-it-yourself options and beauty supply stores, why would anyone pay the extra money at the salon?

These are good products. I use Garnier, and stylists tell me it's one of the most gentle. I also like "Natural Instincts."

I used the Clarol Frost & Tip for many years after my hair started showing some grey. When my hair got tothe point of too much grey I saw the Ad about Esalon and desided to try it. They were able to match my hair color from when I was in my 30's close to perfect. I have been VERY happy with the color and the service. The first kit contained everything I would need for further coloring.
