Rated 4 out of 5 by Kristy75938379847 from Good color, but the conditioner smells TERRIBLE I have enjoyed L’Oreal color products, but the most recent purchase of Excellence Creme has me reeling. The conditioner is usually the best part of the color process. I use two boxes and I save the 2nd conditioner for later. I assumed the odor on color day was from the color itself, but the later follow up conditioning revealed it was the conditioner with the abhorrent odor. Please consider changing the scent, it’s so offensive a friend who uses the same product mentioned it to me also.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LisaMc from First time at home coloring! So happy! I have been getting my hair professionally colored for over 25 years. I am mostly grey now so coloring my hair is really important to me. A friend recommended L’Oréal to me and said “just try it”, that’s what she uses. I bought a box of Light Natural Blonde #9 and I will admit, I was so nervous!! I followed the directions to a T and I am so happy with the final results! My hair is super soft and shiny. Very pleasantly surprised and I’m pretty sure that I will only be going for hair cuts now and using L’Oréal for my color.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Em41 from What Happened?!!!! I have been using this for at least 8years. In the last 6 months or more this product has stopped being permanent! I have always been complemented at salons for my color. I had to convince the stylists that I always colored it myself. They even called over other stylist to look and ask me questions so clients that were limited financially would have options! Now it washes out in a week! I give up. I’m going to have to use salon services for color because it will be less than the time and effort to use this every week on my roots! This makes me so sad because I really did love this product. I use neutral medium brown level 5. I use the pink box. The gold box did this when I tried it so I never used it again.

Rated 1 out of 5 by gtownjewel from Way too dark! I am so unhappy! I just used Excellence Creme 5G Medium Golden Brown and my hair is now closer to black than brown. My natural color is medium brown, but because of the color before and the sun, it was more of a light to medium brown with lots of blonde highlights thrown in. I can not tell you how sad I am... it is dark, dark, brown and I hate it. The colors described on the box are so off!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Dlcliff from Didn’t work I triple checked everything - to make sure I hadn’t made a mistake - and I for sure did everything as instructed (have also done this before). I allowed this stuff to sit on my hair for 30 minutes and saw zero change. So I went another 15....still nothing. I had to rinse it out since I know these are chemicals. A big waste of money....damages hair and didn’t change a strand. I could smell the scent of hair color so don’t think it was a bad box of it. I don’t recommend this brand. There are too many other choices. I’ve never had a hair color kit literally do nothing to the color but this one managed it. I’m going to see if Albertsons will take it back. It’s embarrassing though so not sure it’s worth the effort. big disappointment.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Bethab from Long time user frustrated I've been using this products for years. But for the last few months, every package has gloves that are glued together so you can't open the top of glove to put them on. I've been using a pair of scissors to scrap the one side of the glove so I can get the gloves to open Also, the indentation top for use to open the color mixture now pokes just a small hole that the contents takes forever to get into the bottle. At first I thought just a bad batch but after the 3rd time, I guess not. I am probably going to start to look for a new product. Too bad. I love the product but if you can't use it properly... It is the simple things, folks.

Rated 4 out of 5 by VolleyGirl14 from Bring back Beige Blonde Please I’ve been using Excellence Creme for 10 years. Out of all the brands I’ve tried it definitely covers grays the best! Easy to use with the comb applicator and doesn’t damage hair. Was in love with the beige blonde shade until it was discontinued. Have tried other blonde shades and my hair fades to red. It didn’t do that with beige blonde. Please bring it back!!!

Hi I have many highlights I'm mostly blonde. but my roots are growing out and they are a medium brown will this lighten them up.

do any of your hair colorants contain sulfates

can you use some and keep the rest for another time which is a couple of weeks or a month later?

Hello: I use Excellence 6R for my root touch-up every 4 weeks then I apply Féria 56 all-over for full coverage every 12 weeks. Can I use the pre-color treatment provided with Excellence, as a pre-color treatment prior to applying the Féria 56? Thank you.

Hi I tried 7 1/2A medium ash blonde by superior preference. I would like to try a lighter color and better gray coverage. Need it to minimize red/orange tones bc that is what my hair tends to pick up.

Mocha ash brown - is that a medium brown?  I have never seen that one in stores.  I buy dark ash and light and mix them.  Would be great if I could just buy one!
