John Frieda Precision Foam Color

I thought the packaging was very nice. The gloves were in their own little baggie and I liked the way the conditioner was packaged considering I have short hair and never need the whole thing. I LOVE the foam. That's the first time I have had a completely mess free dye job. HOWEVER, it didn't do as good a job covering my grays as cheaper dyes or Sally's dyes. Also, please do a patch test. I now know the importance of that as it burned the CRUD out of my neck. I mean it BURNED. I did well enough on the rest of my hair, but couldn't put it on the shaved parts at all. I won't buy again but by all means try it. just do a patch test first!

I liked the concept of foam color. However that I felt it was a bit overpriced and dried out my hair. I have never experienced that with a hair color. I will not repurchase.

I upped this from 1 to 3 since I'm obviously a glutton for punishment & I tried it again since it was basically free on clearance on shade 3vr which was deep cherry something. It was nice! It foamed really well, and the color was gorgeous multidimensional deep. Yes I still made a mess and it and the conditioner still stink. Idk I had a much better experience with this shade. Maybe inconsistent from shade to shade? That's all folks

I usually like everything. That being said, this product did not work for me at all. I'm very experienced with color, professional and boxed, bleach, semi, Demi, permanent you name it. I guess this is supposed to infiltrate each individual strand for thick hair? And be easy, mess free? Well shade 5a did not foam. I mean yes it squeezed out as foam but instantly turned to shiny ammonia reeking shoe polish in my hair. It stained my skin and splashed about in my bathroom. This has never happened to me in 20 years. I rinsed it after 20 minutes and it was stark ash black. And very dull. So I vitamin c'd it out and it was like a greenish heinous striped color. I put arctic fox orange over it and just settled on being a redhead... kinda what I was trying to avoid with the ash. Oh and the conditioner it came with didn't smell good to me. On a positive note, the weird green stripes looked pretty with the ginger over it - it was very multitonal. I'll give it a star for being ashy alright. Oh and I have to give it at least one. :/

Foam didn't foam at all. More like watery mouse, just melted into hair so very hard to tell where it had been applied. Was also so thin that I couldn't even "pile" my hair on my head. Flopped straight down splashing dye everywhere. Left my hair really crunchy with an oily texture even after triple rinsing and finally, the colour...what colour? Literally didn't change my colour. Like it didn't take at all. Was sceptical when the pack said your hair should look > < foamy. Ah well was only $20 so hopefully this greasy feel goes away and my hair will same as always:/

I usually use Loreal Feria and dye my ashy brown hair a more reddish brown hue. I decided to change it up and try John Frieda hair dye because I love John Frieda products and I wanted to go a more auburn red-brown color. I tried John Frieda Precision Foam Color in Dark Red Brown. I was worried it would be too purple, but it didn't turn out purple-y at all. I am not 100% pleased with how it turned out, however. It's much more red at the roots than at the ends. The color did not take evenly, but I really like the color it dyed my hair. The foam is so easy to apply to the hair. The conditioner it comes with is really nice as well. Overall, it's pretty good. Similar to Loreal Feria in quality.

This is the best at home hair color I have tried. I love that it foams and I don't totally destroy my bathroom when I'm coloring my hair.

This stuff is horrible! Yeah the color is perfect and it matches the color I get at the salon, but the applicator is crap! The liquid never fully foams up its half foam half liquid. The applicator drizzles color everywhere and the liquid just runs down your face. I have tried this twice and the mess it makes is not worth the price you pay for it!! Feria's foam applicator works way better and doesn't make a mess...and it's cheaper!! Save your money and buy Feria!!!

This is the best drugstore at-home hair dye I've ever used. Prior to this I tried multiple types of Garnier and Revlon dyes (I was satisfied with Revlon Buttercream for a while until I got 2 boxes in a row that didn't take to my hair well at all.) I've never had any terrible reactions or experienced any nightmares with other brands, but the results weren't really that great either.

I'd been wanting to try a dark brown with cherry undertones hair dye for a while and decided to get the John Frieda Precision Foam Color in the shade 3VR Deep Cherry Brown.

The price was $12.99 at Ulta and I had a $3.00 coupon. I love the packaging to this. The fact that it's a foam is revolutionary and made it SO much easier to apply to my hair evenly. Usually no matter how careful I am I make somewhat of a mess on my sink/countertop whenever I'm dying my hair but not with this... it was super easy to use. The after color care conditioner that comes with this is really nice and actually comes in a small bottle instead of those awkward little packets you usually see in a boxed dye.

When I got out of the shower I was immediately impressed. My white hairs are completely covered and there is no patchiness whatsoever... pure nice, even color. When my hair is dry now, it is a dark brown with burgundy undertones that are quite apparent in the sun or underneath bright light (which is exactly what I was wanting.) Before using this dye it was a faded dark brown. If you're still searching for that perfect boxed dye, definitely give this one a try. They have a selection of 28 shades so unless you're looking for something unnatural there's probably a color for you. I'll definitely repurchase in this shade and when I want something new will try a different one from the same line.

I'm gonna be very honest and say I think a lot of hair color disasters are due to not doing your research, and if you don't, you'll get off results no matter the product. Golden tones will always pull reddish, if your hair is damaged it will absorb more color and turn out darker, the times given are estimates and you should keep an eye on your hair as it develops, etc (I'm not trying to be mean- I've made all these mistakes before!)

I used shade 3VR which is deep cherry brown on hair that was a warm medium brown, dyed from a natural black. Application took some time, but I think total it was on my hair for roughly 15 minutes, because I knew my hair was porous and would absorb color, so the given 20-30 minutes would turn my hair black. It came out to a pretty dark brown, maybe two shades up from black, with distinct burgundy tones, which is exactly what I wanted.

It is pricey, at $12, but even for my long (down to the small of my back) and thick hair, one box was enough. I wasted money on a second one, but I'd rather have too much so I don't regret it, but total this works out cheaper than me having to buy 2-3 boxes of $6 hair dye, so i don't mind the price.

I'm 20, so I can't speak for grey coverage, but it's the easiest to apply hair dye I've ever used. Spend an hour doing research before you dye! It's worth it, and you'll get good results from this product from the effort.

I really like this dye. It’s easy to use and the scent, while not good, isn’t overwhelming. It’s very simple to set up, the included gloves are nice, and I love the conditioner. Spills are easily cleaned up with a wet rag, whether they’re on your skin or the white bathroom counter, though I did have to bleach the tub when I let it sit long enough to stain.



I’ve used the colors 6A, 5N, and 4N. My favorite is 5N, though I also like 4N during colder months. 6A left my hair too brassy and red as it faded, but I suspect that has more to do with my natural color (medium golden brown) than the dye. None of those three have turned my hair black, which seems to be a problem some reviewers had with other colors.

As for the dye itself, sometimes I’m able to get it super foamy, but other times it just looks saturated as the foam dissipates, depending upon the length of my hair. I leave it in for 25-30 minutes and my hair is still in good shape after I rinse it out using the conditioner that comes with it. The dye faded evenly after about a month, sometimes longer, and I haven’t had any problems with consistency or patchiness.

Overall, I'm very happy with this dye. It's faster than going to the salon (certainly less expensive) and I love the color I get with 5N / Medium Natural Brown.
