Loved the device - I have dark brown to black hair color that has quite a lot of gray. I left the product on a little longer than recommended since I was covering grays but did not offer any coverage - did seem to tone them down a little but just does not work at all for my hair to cover grays.

Don’t bother. Too expensive and breaks quickly
Don’t bother. It stopped working after having it for only 13 months and would only use it not worn once a month. It just stopped working. Contacted Loreal, emailed the necessary information they requested and never heard back. It’s too expensive to only work not even a year. My friend had the same problem, just stopped working. Loved it while it lasted. Very disappointed.

Color completely washed out after application. Save your money and just buy the box dye.

Horrible hair color, good device
Horrible hair color, good device. The brush device is great, easy to use and clean, makes coloring hair wildly more pleasant and simple. But the dye itself barely lasts 3 washes. I have brown hair with some greys and within a week, my greys were showing again. Major bummer because the device is awesome. They need to make better quality dye AND get the price point for refills closer to a box dye rate.

Often doesn't work
This product works well sometimes. These are really expensive and several of them did nothing. There isn't an expiration date on the box so it's impossible to know how long it was sitting on a shelf before I purchased it.

Did not work at all – gray hairs not covered
have used the L’Oréal Colorsonic in this exact color before and always got excellent results. However, this time, the product was much more liquid than usual and did not cover my gray hairs at all. I followed the instructions carefully, but there was no visible effect on my hair. Very disappointed, and I would not recommend this batch of the product.

Love it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This worked amazing on my hair! It was so easy to apply and only took one hand once I got it set up. Set up was simple with no mess left behind. The packaging has the instructions and makes it easy to understand. The color range made it easy to pick which color I needed and blended into my hair perfectly! My color looks great on wet or dry styles. I’m so impressed

There is a learning curve in using the device but once you get the hang of it it’s great. Good coverage, easy to apply. You’ll get two uses out of each cartridge, not more unless you’re just doing roots.

Color does not last
While I like this color initially, after 3 washes the color washes off and I needed a touch up already. It’s good for a quick fix last minute touch up but not long term hair color. I thought it would save me money but I end up buy more hair dye to cover the grays. I hope they improve the formula.

Do not buy
Color is not accurate. Did not cover grays well. Only lasted for 1.5 uses- not 3 as it indicates in the description.

Was hopeful, then disappointed
This is not an easy device to use. Too many steps, charging, cleaning....etc. I was very disappointed because of the mess it makes, very difficult to use. The cartridge's are hard to find and do not last as long as promised. Would not recommend.

Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The application process is so easy it makes dying your hair at home so much easier! I 10/10 recommend. I wish they had more colors but I’m sure they will add more

Disappointing Dye: Not as Easy, Fast, or Mess-Free
I had high hopes for this state-of-the-art product, expecting it to be faster, easier, and less messy compared to other dyes I've used. I also thought the cartridges would be a good value if they could be used up to three times. However, in reality, it took just as long to apply. It dripped and splattered everywhere, making a significant mess. To my disappointment, each cartridge could only be used once. The refilling and cleaning process is also quite cumbersome. I'm genuinely reconsidering whether I should continue using this product.

My world will never be the same
It cut in half the time it takes to dye my hair at home AND doesn’t miss any spots! It would be a God send straight outta Heaven if the cartridges actually were able to be used for 1 full color and 2 root touch ups. The second time I went to touch up my roots, the catryrdhr only let out developer and was useless. It’s still a home hair color game changer for me because I miss spots easily but not at all with this and I’m still amazed at how quick & easy it was to do, I dread this task every 4/6 weeks, but not anymore! Whoever invented this needs a trophy and huge raise. Im sure the cartridge issue will be resolved by L’oreal soon. Then it will be the best beauty tool I have ever purchased! I LOVE it, and the time it gives back to me to do anything but dye my roots! I have very light blond roots plus a few grays and this got those light roots to the black brown shade I wanted with no problem.

Good!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This device has a bit of a learning curve in my opinion. The color is a lot more liquidy and watery than I was expecting. It worked well, and I am happy with the results, but beware of it dripping! It totally covered my grays and the conditioner that come with the color is amazing! I also love that it only took 30 minutes to develop. I also always enjoy the smell of hair color!

Good tool bad hair dye
The tool is neat but the hair dye is awful! Literally every color of brown I have used has turned my hair orange/auburn. I tried light ash brown, medium natural brown and dark natural brown...they all are bad! I really liked the tool because it's easy for me to dye my own hair (I never have been able to on my own) but the dye itself just doesn't make it worth it. Plus it takes 2 packs to dye my medium length hair so at $60 I might as well go back to the salon and have someone do it for a little More $.

Hello Andrea! Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback on the Colorsonic Ammonia Free Permanent Hair Color Cartridge. We are truly sorry to hear that the hair dye shades you tried, including light ash brown, medium natural brown, and dark natural brown, resulted in an orange or auburn tone on your hair. This is certainly not the outcome we intend for our consumers, and we understand how disappointing and frustrating this must be, especially after trying multiple shades. We are, however, pleased to learn that you found the Colorsonic tool to be neat and easy to use, and that it allowed you to confidently dye your own hair, which is a key benefit we aimed to deliver. We appreciate you recognizing the innovation in the tool itself. We also understand your concern regarding the cost, particularly if it requires two packs for your medium-length hair, making the overall expense comparable to a salon visit. Your perspective on both the color performance and the value is incredibly valuable to us.
