My 6 year old brunette wanted blue hair. I did not want to bleach his hair because he is so tiny, but wanted to support his self expression. I used manic panic and let it sit for 40 min, not even a blue tint. I used the loreal teal and let it set for an hour, and he got this forest nymph color. Even though our local Walgreens didn't have the blue for brunettes, he loves it, so I'm happy. This product also wasn't a chemical mad house. I do wish they made emote for brunettes, because even as an adult, bleaching hair sucks.

I have dark brown hair and I have to say that this product did not hold the slightest bit in my hair. My hair looks the exact same that it did before I even dyed it and I'm talking about Seeing the results the morning after dying it! The whole dye rinsed completely off. Waste of your money, at least if you have dark brown hair!!!

I absolutely LOVE this color #Metallica Orchid 04. I went from being invisible to fabulous! I really, really wish you would make this color in permanent. It fades too fast. I seriously, cannot go anywhere without getting at least two compliments. I have had this coat for over 10 years and did my hair last Sept when it wasnt cold. If I had tried to match it, it would never had happened. People are amazed my hair matches my coat.

Metallic Pink/Fuchsia is staining skin horribly

2 months ago

My hair now stains any skin it touches, even though my hair is bone dry. I've already scrubbed my head raw to get out any bits of dye that might've caused it, and I've seen no improvement with the staining. It's really weird too, since I've used this color before, and it didn't stain like this last time! Did the recipe change or something?

Hot pink and lovin' it

3 months ago

I used the Hot Pink Colorista Semi-Permanent and it worked just as advertised. I have light brown with a little bit of gray peppered in hair that has never been dyed. I chose to do the hot pink just to have a fun few weeks with it. I followed all the instructions and it worked exactly as I expected. I highly recommend it but I highly recommend you READ AND FOLLOW the instructions

Terrible stains don’t use this product!!!

4 months ago

This product was on sale at Walmart and I decided to try it! The application was so easy and the color was so vibrant! High hopes am I right? No, within 2-3 days my hair was pretty much turquoise mind you I did use the metallic blue color. It’s been a week and I’ve definitely washed my hair over ten times like it said would come out in ten washes. But the color still hasn’t come out. It is an ugly green. I just used an ion color remover packet for 45 minutes with heat. It was made for semi and permeant hair dye. While it stripped out my remaining strawberry blonde dye, the green is still in my hair. Also to mention I am a swimmer and all this dye did was stain my neck for days, my face when I slept, and my swim cap. The green is still in my hair and now I will be waiting for the rest to come out. Would not recommend this product!!!

DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT

5 months ago

This is such a cautionary tale. For reference, I have dark blonde to brunette hair. I bought the metallic blue hair dye hoping to use it for a Halloween costume. I followed the instructions and left for about 15 to 20 minutes. I was really happy with the results— initially. I dyed my hair on Oct. 30, 2025. The dye still had not fully washed out by Dec. 16, so I went to a hair salon to get it professionally removed. The hairstylist did a detox first, which got a lot of the hair dye out, but it was still a little green. Then, we dyed my hair a chocolate color, then did some dye removal in certain streaks to add highlights. The base of my hair had turned permanently green. The hair dye not only stained my hair blue because it's way too pigmented but also bleached my hair. I've spent over $250 to try to remove and treat my hair, and it's still not completely gone. I'm sure I will have to spend more money in the next several months as I continue to treat and maintain my hair. I have a public-facing job as a journalist, and how I look is, unfortunately, important for me in a professional manner as well. I hope L'OREAL does better in guiding buyers with this product. My hair is pretty porous, and it seems like that also played a role in how much the hair dye stuck to my hair.

Hi clarabluehair We are so sorry to hear that you have encountered difficulties in removing Colorista Metallic Blue from your hair. This is a semi-permanent haircolor that washes out, it cannot bleach your hair however; dry/porous hair will stain and last longer. We recommend using a once a week hot oil treatment to help with the fading. Color remover only intensifies the situation to lock in the color more. We apologize for the situation and will share your feedback with the product group.

Girls, PLEASE read this review before applying

5 months ago

I’ve never felt so terribly towards a product to write a review, yet here I am. I used the hot pink color on select strands underneath my virginity long blonde hair and when I washed it out my whole head was the worst shade of hot pink. After washing my hair about 15 times throughly with extremely hot water and dandruff shampoo, my hair did not lift at all. I had to cancel all my plans the next day and apply ColorOops Extra Strength to my NATURAL NEVER TOUCHED HAIR. I’ve washed my hair probably thirty times and bought/used multiple clarifying and anti-dandruff shampoos. It doesn’t stop there, I’ve used hot oil, vitamin C, and baking soda. I’ve used everything and months later my hair is still lightly stained pink. If you’re like me and have used light pinks on your natural hair and are thinking “my hair will be fine it says it WASHES OUT IN ABOUT TEN WASHES.” DONT. Even if you are sitting with the bottle in your hand… return it. I’ve lost so much money buying methods to remove this from my hair and my hair is dry, dull, and STILL PINK. This product is worse than a scam and a lie.

I absolutely love this stuff and I've been using it forever! I've never heard of purple dye turning your hair green as it fades. Personally it has never happened with his brand. I've tried every single color of theirs. I'm really disappointed to find out that most of the stores took this brand out because I can't buy a bottle anywhere. 😭 Without having to go online apparently. Well the other colorings you have to mix all these different colors together and they're way more scary. The colorista is like a tube of gel. It's so easy to put on and comes out greatt. My favorite thing also is that it coats your hair and conditions it and makes my hair thicker and softer after I use it. I don't know why people would bash this brand because it's amazing!

My natural hair is a medium brown with white/grey. My niece did my hair with the metallic pink dye. It turned out so nicely! She did the under section totally pink and then did pink highlights through the top. I'm so excited to put my hair up in a ponytail when I exercise and show the solid pink. I'm also enjoying the highlights.

I had bought metallic blue semi permanent hair dye. I wanted to have blue hair now for a couple years. I had purchased colo rista for blondes. I followed the instructions 20 minutes. And my hair came out more teal than blue. So my hair looks more green than blue. Blue is my favorite color and I wanted something done fun for summer. Rinsing my hair and then brushing it, my hairbrush turned blue. The hairbrush turned the correct color.

11 months ago

I bought this dye at Walmart to dye my hair with my friends on May 14th. We were going to States for track and wanted to show some school spirit. I decided to only dye the ends of my hair BLUE…(the end of my hair is bleached) The dye was easy to apply to my hair. After the first 3 washes my whole shower was stained blue as well as my friends shower. Now it is June 17th my hair has been GREEN for the past few weeks. I have washed my hair roughly 34 times. I have tried dawn dish soap, dandruff shampoo, baking soda, blow drying, detox and clarifying shampoos and none of those were able to fully get the color out of my hair. On the box, it said that it might take a little longer than 10 washes for the dye to come out of bleached hair. At first I was patiently waiting for it to come out, but after 20 washes I lost all hope. I will now either have to dye over top of my hair or cut it and have a bob. This is truly ruining my whole summer. In all my family pictures my hair will be green. I do not recommend this product to anyone ever. (My friends hair is still blue too) For your own good, DO NOT USE THIS!

Almost impossible to wash our or fade

a year ago

I used the metallic orchard. It was a bit brighter than I had anticipated. I continually washed my hair but it has taken over 28 washes(2 weeks of daily washing) to lighten/remove and I still have patches of purple. It has not faded In an even way. Some sections are darker and are not fading .My hair was naturally gray with black undertones. Very disappointed with this product. Thinking a vegan formula would be nice, but trying to remove it has been an ordeal . I've tried dawn liquid soap and now my last resort is the baking soda trick. Hope it works. I have had my hair professionally colored purple with semi permanent wash out products (unsure of brand) and thought I would save a few extra bucks since I was I unemployed. I have a video interview in 2 days and would prefer not to be too purple.

I am so happy I discovered your silver colorista 1 day spray! My beautiful grey hair journey has me with a beautiful grey blend on my sides and back of head, but on top, solid white. This spray gives just a little dimension I am searching for.

Didn't work on my hair

a year ago

I tried this product and it didn't work on my hair either, I don't like to bleach my hair because that kill your hair. So I wasted money on buying the metallic blue and metallic purple, cause my hair was still brown.

200 PINK!!

a year ago

200 PINK gave me subtle but definitely noticeable color. I l highlighted about six sections in the front of my hair to see how Colorista would look on my hair. I let it set for 45 minutes, rinsed it out and conditioned my hair. The end results were exactly what I wanted-subtle but noticeable pink highlights! My hair is light blonde. The highlights look very much as pictured on the back of the box for light blonde hair.

Color doesn’t match box!

a year ago

I was looking for a temporary pink color to put in my hair while my stylist was on vacation. I looked at Soft Pink and Pink. The soft pink looked like a faded cotton candy color. My hair is bleached white. I mixed it 50/50 with conditioner to make sure it was light. Nope. Very bright and not even close to the color on the box! A lot bluer than the “soft pink” they advertised.

Missing and broken color tube

a year ago

I love this hair color product. BUT twice now I have spent 12 dollars a piece on it. First time the color tube wasn't in it. Now this time the color tube was open inside the box. After what happened the first time I double check to make sure the tape hasn't been messed with. When I reported it to you guys you wanted all kinds of info. Well I had already got rid of it. Just like this time. If this happens to me a third time. I will find another product to use. And I will let people know, like I am now, to make sure they totally check everything before you even leave the store. Hard lesson learned. Won't happen again.

  Thank you for reaching out to L'OREAL PARIS. Once the product is mixed, the leftover color should be discarded. If not discarded it can burst. Also, it's only good for the processing time and then becomes ineffective. We hope this info is helpful.

If your hair is already dyed (like with blond highlights), is there a high chance your “temporary” colors will permanently change the shade/hue of our highlights? Or should our original dyed hair eventually go 100% back to normal?

I've already scrubbed my head raw to get out any bits of dye that might've caused it, and I've seen no improvement with the staining.

The application was so easy and the color was so vibrant! High hopes am I right? No, within 2-3 days my hair was pretty much turquoise mind you I did use the metallic blue color. It’s been a week and I’ve definitely washed my hair over ten times like it said would come out in ten washes. But the color still hasn’t come out. It is an ugly green. I just used an ion color remover packet for 45 minutes with heat. It was made for semi and permeant hair dye. While it stripped out my remaining strawberry blonde dye, the green is still in my hair. Also to mention I am a swimmer and all this dye did was stain my neck for days, my face when I slept, and my swim cap. The green is still in my hair and now I will be waiting for the rest to come out. Would not recommend this product!!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by clarabluehair from DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT This is such a cautionary tale. For reference, I have dark blonde to brunette hair. I bought the metallic blue hair dye hoping to use it for a Halloween costume. I followed the instructions and left for about 15 to 20 minutes. I was really happy with the results— initially. I dyed my hair on Oct. 30, 2025. The dye still had not fully washed out by Dec. 16, so I went to a hair salon to get it professionally removed. The hairstylist did a detox first, which got a lot of the hair dye out, but it was still a little green. Then, we dyed my hair a chocolate color, then did some dye removal in certain streaks to add highlights. The base of my hair had turned permanently green. The hair dye not only stained my hair blue because it's way too pigmented but also bleached my hair. I've spent over $250 to try to remove and treat my hair, and it's still not completely gone. I'm sure I will have to spend more money in the next several months as I continue to treat and maintain my hair. I have a public-facing job as a journalist, and how I look is, unfortunately, important for me in a professional manner as well. I hope L'OREAL does better in guiding buyers with this product. My hair is pretty porous, and it seems like that also played a role in how much the hair dye stuck to my hair.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Bella from Girls, PLEASE read this review before applying I’ve never felt so terribly towards a product to write a review, yet here I am. I used the hot pink color on select strands underneath my virginity long blonde hair and when I washed it out my whole head was the worst shade of hot pink. After washing my hair about 15 times throughly with extremely hot water and dandruff shampoo, my hair did not lift at all. I had to cancel all my plans the next day and apply ColorOops Extra Strength to my NATURAL NEVER TOUCHED HAIR. I’ve washed my hair probably thirty times and bought/used multiple clarifying and anti-dandruff shampoos. It doesn’t stop there, I’ve used hot oil, vitamin C, and baking soda. I’ve used everything and months later my hair is still lightly stained pink. If you’re like me and have used light pinks on your natural hair and are thinking “my hair will be fine it says it WASHES OUT IN ABOUT TEN WASHES.” DONT. Even if you are sitting with the bottle in your hand… return it. I’ve lost so much money buying methods to remove this from my hair and my hair is dry, dull, and STILL PINK. This product is worse than a scam and a lie.

I've never heard of purple dye turning your hair green as it fades. Personally it has never happened with his brand. I've tried every single color of theirs. I'm really disappointed to find out that most of the stores took this brand out because I can't buy a bottle anywhere. 😭 Without having to go online apparently. Well the other colorings you have to mix all these different colors together and they're way more scary. The colorista is like a tube of gel. It's so easy to put on and comes out greatt. My favorite thing also is that it coats your hair and conditions it and makes my hair thicker and softer after I use it. I don't know why people would bash this brand because it's amazing!

Rated 1 out of 5 by 5544Sally from PLEASE DO NOT BUT THIS!!! I bought this dye at Walmart to dye my hair with my friends on May 14th. We were going to States for track and wanted to show some school spirit. I decided to only dye the ends of my hair BLUE…(the end of my hair is bleached) The dye was easy to apply to my hair. After the first 3 washes my whole shower was stained blue as well as my friends shower. Now it is June 17th my hair has been GREEN for the past few weeks. I have washed my hair roughly 34 times. I have tried dawn dish soap, dandruff shampoo, baking soda, blow drying, detox and clarifying shampoos and none of those were able to fully get the color out of my hair. On the box, it said that it might take a little longer than 10 washes for the dye to come out of bleached hair. At first I was patiently waiting for it to come out, but after 20 washes I lost all hope. I will now either have to dye over top of my hair or cut it and have a bob. This is truly ruining my whole summer. In all my family pictures my hair will be green. I do not recommend this product to anyone ever. (My friends hair is still blue too) For your own good, DO NOT USE THIS!

It looks like pink highlights in my hair and washes out gradually so it is low maintenance. It's something fun for this almost 60 year old. I love it and get lots of compliments from the younger gals.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Indigo from Color strength reduces in the tube (shelf-life) I like to make a small stripe of indigo on my naturally white/gray hair. I only use a small amount of the tube at a time, so the tube last at least a year. The first 6 months or so I got great color that last longer than a month, then gradually faded away. As I used up the tube, I didn't get the same results; instead I got less intense coverage that was gone after only 1 or 2 washings. I bought a second tube (same product, same color 500 indigo) and the results were like the END of the previous tube -- light color that washed out in 1 or 2 washings. I bought a third tube (only used the previous tube twice) and got the same disappointing results. Please, please, please put a date on the box so I know if the product has been sitting on the shelf for a while.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Lillian from Bright, long lasting color. Very neon and glittery I've been consistently dying my hair pink for a couple years now and I usually use the iroiro neon pink, but when I just want to get my hair done without going into town to buy dye, I sometimes just use this colorista from the grocery store. It goes on great and the color is very vibrant on my bleached hair. The metallic pink is a VERY neon color. The color lasts pretty long on me, up to a month, and fades out to be mostly blonde. I do have a permanent pink stain on my hair because of the consistent coloring so I can't really speak to whether or not it truly fades to nothing, though. But or you're like me and you DON'T want a temporary color, this works well in a pinch 👍. I will say, though, at least for the metallic colors, there is some kind of glittery in the dye and will leave your hands and neck glittery whenever you touch your hair until like the second or thire wash when it's really set into your hair lolol

Rated 5 out of 5 by AmyK from Love it! Beautiful fade too I used the Burgundy on my medium brown/20% gray hair and the color payoff was great! The fade has been surprisingly pretty as well! Very happy with my experience.

Rated 1 out of 5 by cmemanuel from Serious Regret I am beyond livid. I have very expensive highlighted hair. I thought it would be fun to try some temporary blue over my highlights. What a terrible mistake! 28 washes later with clarifying shampoo, dandruff shampoo, my highlights are blue/greenish on my ash brown hair and I look so bad. I ALSO used the Loreal Colorista Haircolor remover, which DID NOT WORK. I dont know what to do. I am so upset. I need this dye OUT of my hair NOW. I Wish I never EVER put this on my hair.

Rated 1 out of 5 by MicheleDHR from Horrible experience, never use! I'd give a 0 if I could. Ruined my daughter's hair. Dyed in July, it's November and her hair is still miscolored. Used clarifying shampoo daily, used Color Oops 2x to remove, bleached it 2x, and tried dying it 2x before having to see a hairdresser to fix it. Spent a fortune and I'd never recommend to anyone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cameron01 from Love the product but can't find it I've used this product for YEARS and I love it, doesn't stain the skin so I don't have to worry can wash it off with my hair, leaves a vibrant colour even with dark brown hair, lasts forever takes months to start fading (colour also sticks to my hair well and I take good care of it) I just used a bottle that was opened 3 years ago and still worked perfectly. However I've been struggling to find red anywhere for over a year, I've tried other brands and they go on uneven, fade right away, stain the skin. If anyone could help me find somewhere to buy it, I've tried every major city in my area

Rated 5 out of 5 by Michemarche from Amazing! Do not understand the hate I've been using these colors for almost a year now on a few bleached pieces and I don't understand all the hate in the reviews because for me and my friends who use it we all love it. I love the pinks because they fade really nice into different shades of pink without going brassy. The blues and the purples on my hair fade almost silver before going back to the bleach. My hair is on the porous side so it really only lasts about five washes but I wash my hair once a week so it's perfect for me. I also use this product on my 8 year old niece who has very natural blonde hair and it comes out every time. We have never experienced any staining on our hair or on our skin and I am notorious for forgetting to put on gloves as a former hair stylist myself. I actually prefer this product and what I can buy in the professional stores to be honest.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Worst product from DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT FOR YOUR OWN GOOD Seriously DONT buy this, I bought this because I wanted to dye my hair so bad and it was cheap so I went for it, I dyed my hair in may and it’s currently September. My hair is currently half green, half blue, and a bit on orangy blonde spots in my hair. Words can’t describe how horrible this product is, there is Nthn I miss more then my natural hair right now but atp I have to guy buy some box dye to cover this ugly mess.

Rated 3 out of 5 by LizH646 from Disappointed 1st time around I loved it. Decided to do it against n and I purchased the Indigo color again through Amazon and turned my hair into berry. Not what I expected at all. Hate the color so now I have to wear a hat. I really wanted my indigo color again but afraid to purchase it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by cjyes from Disappointing The color is bright which is fine, but what’s not fine is the fact that my entire body is blue. My hair has been dry for 2 days and it’s still rubbing off onto everything. My clothes, my blankets and pillows etc. I was wearing gloves the entire time and my hands are still super blue. I gave 1 star because the color is nice, but I’m rather displeased with the fact my whole house is blue now.

Rated 1 out of 5 by lele1 from Horrible I forget what exact color I got, but it was a purpleish blue. Semi-permanent is a lie, it faded and stained my hair green. My hair was green for about 2 months before I had to bleach it out because literally NOTHING would remove the green. 6 years later and I have still not bought another loreal product. When I had reached out to loreal when this originally happened, they didn't respond. It was honestly the worst hair experience I've ever had.

Rated 1 out of 5 by annie from It looks great but after showering it gets it all your hair. It damaged my hair and I don’t know how to fix it to it’s original color.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jules from Colored just the underneath and it ended up killing the hair and thinning it. Never had that happen but the colored hair is falling out in clumps. Followed directions on the box and regret using the product.

Rated 1 out of 5 by gaby from sad that it dyed my whole head i put foils in my hair with the semi permanent hair dye so that i could do highlights with it, but instead it dyed my whole head in the shower while i was washing it out. :(

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tory from Absolute favorite dye My go-to product for dying my hair at home. My friends have had mixed results -- it definitely shows up more on some people than others, and the color can vary in hue across one person's hair (I like this effect because I think it gives the color more depth). However, it causes little to no damage and doesn't stain badly as long as any spills are cleaned up immediately. Personally, I have had consistently great experiences -- all three colors I've used have been beautifully vibrant, lasted for weeks or months, and left my hair feeling healthy and soft. Great way to switch up your hair, and a super fun group activity.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Unhappy_customer from Stained everything but hair Dyed everything but my daughters hair. My tub is a mess. I rinsed her hair out carefully and my tub is stained so bad, her skin is dyed from the rinsing process as well. I willnot be buying this product again

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bettina from Does what it says it will do Easy to use with the little brush. I used pink. I used to be blonde many years ago and now almost totally gray. I made a streak down one side, just rinsed it out in the sink and have now washed with shampoo twice. Still a nice bright pink. I'm surprised that L'Oreal doesn't specify that this Colorista Semi Permanent Color works well on gray as well as blonde or bleached. I'm 82 and many of my over 65 friends also have colerod their hair not to cover the gray but to enhance their fun!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Yoli from Two thumbs up Second time using Indigo on my silver and white “money piece”. Blends well with my dark brown hair and highlights my silver stays. Rock Star professional results. Tons of compliments! Lasted 2 months-ish, washes out evenly. Thinking of using burgundy next! Got me playing and having hair fun. Recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jillian from Great HairDye For Brunettes I love this Colorista SemiPermanent Hair Dye for Brunettes. I have Medium Brien to Light Brown Hair and finally found something that holds and works for darker hair without having to bleach and strip my hair first. The Tangerine Irangey Red colour is great and blends in well with my natural hair colour. And I live the Green colour for fun. I also have the Blue. But when I first used it, I did as directed. But now I just put a small amount on the included brush and apply it to my roots and it penetrates better with using the small amount sparingly and brushing it into my roots. I don’t wash it out until a few days and that way it penetrates even more and will last for months. It’s a great product. I hope it’s not discontinued. It works great for my hair. The other leading brand Splat for brunettes is too messy and comes off easily. L’Oréal Colorista is much better and comes with a nice brush.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Baker_0517 from Great color and easy application This shows up beautifully (I used purple) on my bleached level 10 hair. Left it on for 15 minutes shampooed and conditioned as usual and the color came out just as pictured on the box.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chellelynn from Reading comprehension is important I have used this product in multiple colors. Mostly various pinks and purples. It is very easy to use and you will get great results if you are able to rad and comprehend the instructions, this seems to be an issue based on reading the reviews. It is dye, be careful or it can be messy. It clearly states it’s for blonde/bleached hair. Natural blonde will have less noticeable results, bleached more vibrant and darker than that likely minimal to no noticeable results. Reading is fundamental people!

Rated 5 out of 5 by ejlejl from Good I used this color 2 months ago and the color is still in my hair. A lot of color run in the shower, but easy to get stains off with amodex or makeup remover. I used the color on my brown hair as well and it stayed for quite a few washes. I’ve had issues in the past with colors not being even or washing out too quickly.

Questions

CrankyPants

I only used a little of the color. Can I save the rest for another time?

College Student

If your hair is already dyed (like with blond highlights), is there a high chance your “temporary” colors will permanently change the shade/hue of our highlights? Or should our original dyed hair eventually go 100% back to normal?

Erikam

Can you use on wet hair?

Rikki

I purchased Burgundy20. I have dyed blonde hair. The box says not to use on natural or dyed blonde hair but your website says 'made for blonde/light blonde hair' on every one of your colors. What would happen if I use Burgundy20 on dyed very light blonde?

Allie

How to get off fabric

shindigs

Can I mix two shades of Colorista together to achieve the color I am looking for (I purchased the purple400 and was thinking of adding one of the pink shades).

Myself

How long after coloring hair blonde could I use Colorista colors on underside of hair for extra flair of color? What is recommended time?

GreigeHair

I am trying to let my gray grow out, but I thought it would be fun to put a temporary color all over to blend the gray and the dark blonde. Will Colorista cover gray?

Treechick

I forgot to put the lightening creme in the bottle. Can I use it by its self

Hi! me and my friends recently used your semi-permanent hair dye for our state track meet, however some of us have bleached blonde hair or highlights. We just wanted to know if the dye stain our hair?
