Talk to an agent

AI Highlights
  • - Waiting for the return label email promised 2 weeks ago.
  • - An agent said it would be repaired when returned.

I am waiting for an email with the return label promised 2 weeks ago for the warranty repair of Color Sonic L'Oreal hair color technology. I purchased it less than a year ago, and I was reassured by an agent over a phone conversation that it would be repaired when I sent it back; that is, when I receive an email with the 'return' label with instructions.

Gratitude from the heart

  • - Elseve shampoo reduced scalp itching and flaking.
  • - The product worked despite challenging health conditions.

Elseve shampoos helped me!

I want to share my personal story using a translator and say a huge thank you to the Elseve brand. I have been living with HIV since childhood, and, as many know, this requires constant antiretroviral therapy.

My shelves were literally once piled high with medications. The body is weakened, the skin and hair often suffer from side effects.

One of these problems was constant dandruff. I struggled with it for many years: I tried pharmacies, natural oils, even expensive medicated shampoos - but the result was only temporary. It was a real psychological and physical strain.

I decided to try Elseve shampoo completely by accident, and I was amazed!

My scalp became calm, without itching and flaking. It not only cares, but also gives a feeling of care, which is so lacking during illness.

I am sincerely grateful to the Elseve brand team for quality products. They really work, even in my difficult conditions. This is my little miracle that happened recently.

Sometimes simple self-care makes our day so much brighter. Thank you!

Wrong hair dye in different box

AI Highlights
  • - The platinum dye turned brown due to the wrong color in the box and toner.
  • - L'Oreal took responsibility and helped; Safeway did not.
Loreal USA - Wrong hair dye in different box

I bought platinum hair dye and my hair turned out brown dark brown because I guess the wrong color was in the box and it was some kind of toner. I was devastated my hair is everything to me I didn't want to go anywhere but I still had to continue on with work I went to my friend who helped correct it she was in cosmetology school and she made it a million times better anyways long story short basically I called and talked to L'Oreal and they accepted responsibility even though it really wasn't them it was the stores responsibility but because it was a product they still made it better they're amazing it just goes to show how awesome they really are but it makes Safeway look like crap because they want to disregard any responsibility for something that might have been their wrongdoing in the beginning. By L'Oreal doing that though it made them look that much better I give him a lot of credit thanks loreal

Advertising

AI Highlights
  • - Stop advertising Kendall Jenner in eye makeup campaigns.
  • - The user claims the Jenner family is implicated in child abuse in Hollywood and wants the ads removed.

We want you to stop the advertising featuring Kendall Jenner for eye makeup. This is because her family is currently implicated in child abuse in Hollywood.

They have been attending parties and are involved with the abuse of children in the industry. So, how can you continue to include her in your advertising? A number of people are angry, but they have not written to you. It seems like your brand is supporting child abuse when you allow the advertising to continue worldwide with her in it.

We are tired of this family.

Please stop including them in your advertising. Thank you.

Preferred solution: Stop have kendall jenner in advertising cause her famliy truth are out now about threy are part of child abuse partys

User's recommendation: They have good makeup but have stop with put children abuser women in their advertising

Hair Color Expired or Bad Batch!

AI Highlights
  • - Two boxes of Soft Silver Blonde 8S looked darker from the start.
  • - The product failed to cover gray, and the customer seeks compensation or replacement.
Loreal USA - Hair Color Expired or Bad Batch!

Loreal USA - Hair Color Expired or Bad Batch! - Image 3

Hello.

I've been doing my own hair coloring for years, and have always used the Preference brand of L'oreal. As I got older, I would switch to a lighter shade, and now for the past year I've been using the new "Soft Silver Blonde 8S" product and happy with the result.

However tonight, of all days before a big event the following day, I noticed right from the start, that the color gel was a much darker color than usual when I poured it into the color optimizing cream.

Since I had just purchased two boxes, I went ahead and checked the color of the other box and found that it was the same dark color right from the start. Thinking that it might be because of a change in your formula, I went ahead and went through my coloring process as I've done hundreds of time, only to find out that it did nothing at all to cover my gray hair which it usually does... and I followed the direction and the process that I always done in the past. I believe these two latest boxes that I purchased were defective or very old on the shelf, even though I had just recently purchased them from my local drug store.

I did take some pictures of the product before application, and kept the box and bottles if you needed more proof, and can provide them to you.

Needless to say, I am very disappointed and although it's too late to go out and purchase another box and go through the process again, I would expect to at least get a compensation towards buying some replacement hair coloring. I'm willing to try the same product again, because I never had this problem before tonight.

Sincerely,

Linda Gurtler

ELVIVE TOTAL REPAIR CHANGED MY LIFE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Elvive Total Repair 5 made hair look thicker and stopped breakage.
  • - Four months with the full line restored shine and left hair thick and soft.
Updated by user Nov 01, 2021

Amazing results from first use and after using for 4 my hair just keeps getting better

Original review Nov 01, 2021
I am a 69 year old retired Registered Nurse, during my career I colored my hair, kept it short and washed it daily due to always being in a germ filled environment. I always had thick Curley hair but after retiring I started to let it grow out and noticed that I was not losing the number of hair shafts but it was becoming brittle and breaking.

I am not vain but when I saw a photo of myself I could not believe how thin and my hair looked and how it made me look so old. I tried every product on the market and was resigned to accept the fact that I would just have to live with it until I saw a YouTube video showing how your product transformed brittle thin hair. I have been using the Elvive Total Repair 5 and after just one use my hair looked thicker, healthier and stopped breakage.

Before using Elvive after brushing I would have a handful of broken hair but after there is almost none, the shine was restored and my hair feels thick, soft and healthy. I have been using the entire line of Elvive Total Repair 5 for 4 months now and the transformation is amazing, I cannot tell you how much this product has done to restore not only my hair but my self confidence as well

Preferred solution: Elvive Total Repair 5 review

User's recommendation: RESTORES STRONG HEALTHY HAIR LIKE NO OTHER
