ABOUT US
Beyond Boxed
eSalon began with the idea that high quality, vibrant
hair color can be achieved at home—without the
one-size-fits-all approach of boxed color. The first and
only company of its kind, eSalon delivers bespoke
hair color formulated to order and custom highlights
tailored to individual color goals.
Made to Order
Each and every bottle of our hair color
is individually blended, while every order of custom
highlights includes a tailored selection of formulas
and tools for each client. All orders include
personalized instructions for the absolute best
results. Need more? Every eSalon client has access
to our in-house team of licensed colorists for
support or education, every step of the way.
About Us:
MORE THAN
JUST DYE
5. And Growing
Since 2010, the company has expanded to over 20
markets across North America and the EU, and
launched new product categories, offering a full line of
products in support of great color. With 3MM+ orders
shipped, eSalon’s custom color has won Allure’s Best
of Beauty award for “Best Home Color” three years in
a row, and boasts a 100% Color Happiness Guarantee.
Based in Culver City, California, eSalon also has an
office in London, UK. Learn more at: www.esalon.com.

ABOUT US
Democratizing Great Color
“Our goal has been to offer clients the chance to
finally fall in love with their hair color, without having
to pay a great deal,” said eSalon’s Co-Founder and
CEO Francisco Gimenez. “Until now, a woman’s only
options were to spend $80 or more in a salon, or face
endless aisles of one-size-fits-all drugstore color
without meaningful guidance or support. We’ve
turned the color market on its head and are excited
to address a longstanding pain point for women
near and far,” he said.
