  I ordered from this website. I chose a more expensive option because I didnt wanna get hair color in the mail every other month I wasnt evensure if I was gonna use the one I was ordering. I did not even create an account and these people are charging me again. Im having to dispute the charge. I have no way of contacting them through my account because I dont have an account and what a bunch of scammers! I would have never subscribed to freaking hair color. I wasnt even sure if I was gonna do it myself which I did not. Its still sitting in my closet. It is so disheartening that you can literally not even order anything anymore without being scammed.!

  I never received a single salon order (of two). I have gotten requests for reviews - but have nothing to review as I have never gotten an order. Also, never got any response to my messages regarding no produce received even though I was charged/paid for product. The amount I paid for these products was about $105.00. According to the post office I received these products, but I never have.

  I looked at this website and must have given them a credit card number but did not make a final purchase. I never received anything from this company and they have been charging my credit card about twice a month since August 2023. I've read other complaints online now saying it is a scam.

  Hello ****,

  Thank you for reaching out to us.

  I apologize for any confusion! When you made an order for the first time on our website, there was the option between the single order, or the enrollment to our plan by placing the first order at a promotional price. We refer to this automatic delivery service as your Color Plan during checkout. 

  We also make sure to send clients an email reminder to the email provided to us when creating one's account, 5 days prior to processing their order to make sure there is time for cancellations or adjustments.

  Your Color Plan is super flexible, so it can be paused, skipped, or turned off at any time through your account or by giving us a call. The best part about a Color Plan? You save 20% off of every order, including hair care products.
  
  I have received your request and turned off your Plan, so there will be no additional charges.

  Complaint: 20597083
  
  I am rejecting this response because: The original color sent was not what I asked for and not what was discussed, you stylist should have told me that there was no way to reach my desired color and refunded me my monies, but instead you sent me a color which was not going to satisfy my requirements instead of allowing me to reach my color goals you set them back three months. Cost to get me to the color I was before the error on ESalons part 300 dollars time to get me to that color 10 hours at ***** per hour. I am in the middle of interviewing for high paying positions and the color I was, was a real boost because I got myself to that color, I LOVED that color and only wanted to go one stage lighter. Which is what I THOUGH ESalon was going to do, instead you took me back 2.5 colors.  I hate this color, its the wrong shade for my skin tone, and makes me look washed out and tired. Not a good look for a video interview.  I now have to wait two weeks for that disgusting color to wash out. Or as your unsympathetic stylist stated I could by clarifying shampoo, which I am not excited about using and it stripes out the hair, And further antagonized me by suggesting I pay for your mistake. It will cost me around 150 dollars to fix YOUR mistake, plus my time.  So my original statement stands, look at the photos I provided. I want 450 for the original color that your garbage color ruined and the lost of time 10 hours plus another 5 to fix it ****** for a total of $697.95 to pay for your ruining my hair color and what it will cost me to fix your MISTAKE.

  Sincerely,
  
  *********************

  nse is why Im seeking what Im seeking. The rep said we dont sell products that lighten hair I see the ********** sent you what would be the color to match your roots to avoid hot roots. But thats not what was discussed or explained to me. I would have cancelled my kit & figured out a different route, but ****** took that option away & in 35 minutes all my hard work gone. They even suggested I buy a clarifying shampoo to remove the dye. I realize this is just hair. I suffer with depression & felt so proud to have done this myself. ****** could care less. So I need to pay more money to fix your mistake. I paid ***** which was refunded, they sent me a color that is 1 shade lighter than what I have. But, the point is none of this would be necessary if they had just said cant do what you want, but they didnt do that. See the two pics with the wrong color. Seeking $450 (300 spent + 150 fix), $247.95 = 15*16.53/hr for time spent + fix their mistake. Total $697.95.

  Hello *****, 
  
  Thank you for reaching out to us at eSalon. 
  
  We're sorry to hear of the issues you're having with your eSalon color. It looks like you've recently spoken to a representative and you were refunded for that order entirely (the $11.77 cost as there was no other product purchased with us) with a reformulation sent to you at no cost to help with the fix for your hair. It's that this fix not be applied until your July color had washed out. This reformulation shows to have been delivered via **** today, September 13th, 2023 as it was processed when we spoke to you on September 6th regarding your color. 
  
  As the colorist advised via phone, haircolor is not bleach and will not significantly lighten your hair. Please do not apply the reformulation until your current color has washed out. 
  
  Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach us Mon-Fri 8a-5p PST at *************. Thank you!

  I am rejecting this response because, I have spoken to one of your reps, I emailed twice and never received a response, which is why I called. I then did what you asked in response to my complaint and sent a third email reaching out to discuss options, thus far no one has responded.
