“terrible”

It was awful!! I wanted to dye my hair a lighter blonde and it only got my roots and barely nothing else!! It even didn't change my hair color!! It was my first and my last time using this crap!! One pro out of it I got it for free! Good thing I didn't waste $10 on this junk!! I put the whole bottle on like it recommended and did everything the directions said to do! Very disappointed with this! I hope this guy reads all of these reviews!! It's just TERRIBLE!!!!!! I knew I should've... (read more)

I used the dark chocolate brown. Despite claims that it provides long-lasting grey coverage, the color didn't even last a week! Washed out after 2 shampoos. Won't EVER purchase Frieda color again! (read more)
“John Frieda Precision Foam Dark Natural blonde”
Written on: 02/02/2013
I had medium blonde hair before i started that wasn't bad but it needed a boost, i had been using garnier Nutrisse and thought i would check out the John Frieda Foam dye as its meant to be a salon formula. Well the application was easy and the foam is good it does not go everywhere and is not as messy as some. The colour, is nothing WOW! it is an ordinary light/medium moussy gingery brown, nothing glossy about it at all. I would NOT recommend at all, Garnier Nutrisse colours are much... (read more)
“The box lies.”
Written on: 08/12/2012
Naturally i have medium brown hair. I bought the 'dark cool pearl blonde' dye expecting to go a dark blonde, as one would expect so if it says on the box. My hair is now significantly darker than before. Particularly annoyed and disappointed, id like to go lighter as i intended, but I'm afraid if i dye it again using a different colour and brand this vile chemical I've just put in my hair will make it go green or something. Definitely don't recommend it if you want to get what you asked... (read more)

Um what you don't realise is if you have medium brown hair or darker you must pre bleach your hair before using dye ok. John Freda is the best ever better than any other salon or store colour

“GREY NOT BLONDE”
Written on: 17/11/2012
Use a light natural blond colour in summer but wanted a slightly darker shade The colour looks dark grey, absolutely not what I wanted. Siad medium natural blond on box. Tried to phone the help line but constantly engaged. Makes you wonder if it is all complaints! (read more)
“Light? No way!”
Written on: 16/10/2012
Bought this in Light Ash Blonde with intention of getting a light to medium blonde. Natural colour and previous haircolour were a medium blonde. This so-called "light" shade ended up as a dark blonde, if not light brown!! Not at all what I was wanting! Off to the salon for a colour correction, so a $14 box of hair colour is now costing $140. NOT AT ALL impressed. If there is an upside, the conditioner was great: light with a nice fragrance. (read more)
“AWFUL”
Written on: 12/09/2012 by chadders12 (1 review written)
I had a medium/dark blonde colour and decided that I would go slightly darker. Slightly being the incorrect term after I had used the dye. The packets looked quite redish and so i picked the dark cool blonde. My hair is now medium ashy brown which i swear looks grey. NEVER using this product again. Now having to pay to get this sorted out. Also what makes this even worse is that it was more expensive than practically all the other hair dyes. (read more)

“wish I read all reviews before purchasing”
Written on: 09/05/2012
I used john Freida precision faom today in light ash brown. I wanted a medium brown result therefore went for a shade lighter as the product ends up darker than it states in the front. As I was applying I could see that it was already going dark within 5 minutes so I must have left it for 15 mins max. Anyway I washed the product out and my hair looked very very dark. Evn though I used a shade lighter my hair is more of a dark brown than medium. Wish I didn't buy and would defo not buy again.... (read more)

Written on: 29/04/2012
I just coloured my hair with John Frieda Light Warm Golden Brown FOAM. This foam did not work after a few pushes, I end up doing my hair dye with my hand and the liquid in the bottle and what a mess.......... all over the play and were the dye landed it left dye spots on the wall and floor. The pump did NOT work. I put the top on and it clicked to postion. The pump worked up to 3 times then would not pump anymore. A real disaster. I will not use foam ever again, I'll stick to the cream !!!! (read more)
“Dont use if you like to change your colour now and then!”
Written on: 28/04/2012
I used one of the darker brown JF mousse colours. Stays on, doesn't fade BUT a few months later I wanted to go a bit lighter. Looked at the back of the box seemed totally suitable. It actually went DARKER despite being a lighter shade. Only use this product, in my opinion, if you want to have one colour and keep it on there forever. It has almost too much staying power. It is easy to apply though and doesn't drip. The conditioner that goes with it is quite nice and conditioning. (read more)

I bought this hair colour because it sounded great. It was a mousse.. the hair colour looked awesome...I found it annoying. I don't think the mousse is easier to deal with.. also, this product smells bad. I was not pleased with the hair colour at all.. and it was messy... and the conditioner is poor too. I get better hair colour and conditioner with the $5 Garnier product i have been using...I will never buy this product ever again. nor will i recommend it to someone. If it was $3 to buy i...

7G Dark Golden Blonde JF Precision Hair Colourant My hair was already coloured with John Freidas medium blonde,however,the colour was much darker and cooler than I wanted so I decided to go for something a little warmer.

“Does NOT Cover Gray”
Written on: 28/03/2012 by Grayagain
Have been coloring my hair myself for years. Tried John Frieda because of the reputation. Used a brunette shade close to my natural color. First time it did a passable job of color my grays, although I thought it was a bit too dark overall. Loved the foam application as it is easier to apply. In five weeks, I colored again to touch up roots. Using the same shade I had awful results. Did not cover my gray roots nearly as well. A close friend for years and years asked me if I was doing...

I was nervous using a new hair color because I haven't had the best results with others in the past but going to the salon was just so expensive and time consuming. I heard about this foam from a commercial. I decided I'd give it a try. It seemed simple enough to use. I was so very pleased with the results!!!! I am a forever user of this product!

John Frieda Hair dye Mousse although one of the most expensive out there is actually the best out there. I have been using home hair dyes since in my teens and am now in my early forties. It covers grey perfectly and leaves your hair in lovely shiny condition. It doesnt stain your skin or sink and bath and any you do get on you it easily comes off.. When you shampoo afterwards you dont get colour running out every time like other brands andit is the best home dye mousse I have tried and... (read more)

“Awesome grey coverage!”
Written on: 14/02/2012
Just tried this product today and this is the first time I have used a home colour that has totally covered my grey and has left my hair feeling extremely healthy. The colour came out a little darker than I thought, however, it looks so natural even I couldn't believe it. I am in my 50's and have been colouring my hair since I was a teen. The light brown/dark blonde colour I chose is far from being mousy, and better than any salon colour I have had. I am absolutely thrilled with this... (read more)

I have used loads of different hair dyes. Tried some of the new mousses such as loreal sublime but found the results patchy. This one goes on so well and gives perfect coverage. The colour is natural looking an shiny. Just be careful to go for a shade lighter than you want. This is light brown but I would call it a medium brown really. It's a lovely colour but darker than you would expect. I wanted a medium brown so chose light brown as I have had this problem before... Ending up much darker... (read more)

Written on: 21/09/2011 by Caity
Bought the dark brown and it went jet black!!! So I looked like snow white and the colour looked very cheap as it was flat with no 'tone' through it!! Glossy result afterwards, just a shame about the actual colour itself. I'd maybe suggest applying to wet hair rather than dry so it's not as intense. I have the desired colour now a month on as it's not long lasting. (read more)

Really wish I'd read the reviews before I bought this product, I'm not happy with it at all! I got it in a deep cherry brownish colour that looked more like plum, the product was easy to use (if a bit hard to apply evenly) which is why I've given it two stars and when I rinsed it out I loved the colour. However I washed it for a second time and the colour is already coming out of the ends of my hair which I'm really annoyed at as it's hardly one of the cheaper hair dyes you can buy. I must...

Ok. first things first... I went to hair school many years ago so maybe that's why I like this product because I know how to alter my results. I was a level 9 blonde and was in need of a change but didn't have $180 to drop at the salon so I went for John Frieda looking to get a level 5/6 out of the end result. I mixed a 4N and 5N together because I know that I need to go a shade darker to get my results. I would NOT recommend an out of the box color for those of you looking to go blonde... (read more)

Hiya, I was reading through reviews and notice you know abit about hair so was just wondering if you could help me. Im naturally blonde, but quite a dark blonde so iv always had highlights but as they are so expensive i started using a blonde colour perminent dye in clairol nice and easy and its really nice but im so bored of blonde now i want change! I went to the hairdressers and asked them to make it brown but they put a copper tone on it and it turned out a faded copper colour, it wasnt nice and it was a 'quasie' which is between semi and perminant so it faded to a horrible tone. now im back blonde and want to see how id look brunette, i just want change but my hairdresser wont do it and always puts me off by telling me how hard it will be to get my hair back blonde. im only 19 and want to try it whilst im young! i cant afford £130 for a good salon who will do it so i am looking into John Freida's new foam in the brunette shades. Have you any advice for me? Thank you!

I tried the dark red brown shade(4r) on my naturally brown hair and was very pleased with the results. Having read the mixed reviews, I was quite apprehensive but I decided to take a chance since I couldn't afford to go back to the salon and my hair badly needed to be coloured.
I usually get a dark burgundy red when I go to the salon and had been doing so for about a year, mainly because I had been banned from doing so at home due to the mess involved. The foam idea really appealed to me...

The new John Frieda foam color is terrible product. The woman at drugstore who sold it to me tried to talk me out of it because it turned her hair the color of Hersey's syrup, very fake looking. I ignored her warning thinking the high price would make it better than my usual at home color product. The color is awful - dull grayish dirty blond and it didn't cover my slightly graying roots. Hair has no life or shine. The color looks very artificial. I cannot stand it but will have to wait at... (read more)

The foam covered my very thick long hair on one bottle though, but couldnt get it to foam up on my hair as per instructions! Still i cant see any patches so far.
The condiotioner you get with this is the best thing about it. Wouldnt buy it again.

I had colored my hair once before. It was a horrible experience, colorant was everywhere. Years passed and my hair was beginnning to get more grey than I could camouflage with straightening alone. Out of desperation I tried the John Frieda foam colorant. I wore one of my favorite shirts; really, to do the process. Not one drip went anywhere and the colorant came off my skin effortlessly.

Well, that was an interesting experience! The concept of mousse hair dye is amazing and so easy to use. The end result is silky smooth, shiny, multi tonal hair colour.
Just a shame it is no where near the shade I bought or wanted! My hair is naturally medium brown so I bought medium golden brown (shade 5G) and it has turned my hair almost black, making my pale skin look very very washed out! I WILL NOT BE USING THIS PRODUCT EVER AGAIN!!!

obviously if you have dark brown hair and put a blonde over it, its not going to come up nicely first go. You need to tone it afterwards. Also doing this yourself if you're not experienced as you seem you are not do not try and do it with products from the supermarket and expect salon results.
