Colors - Batch 1 - The results

I've tallied the results, and only a handful of the colors are going onto the next round. (This is like American Idol, but for hair...Hae gets to be Simon.)

We really got some great and very honest feedback, which is exactly what we were looking for. Surely no one can say that any of you sugar-coat things!

Here are some of my favorite comments from the surveys. And sorry, but I didn't have all your names with the results when I pasted them into Word, so these are without credit. If you wanna claim yours, feel free. :)


"Beautiful! Very nice work. It's not something I'd wear everyday, but I do love it."

"not really a fan but hey thats me"

"This one grew on me. At first I was a little meh, but I like the subtle chestnut tips."

"The color isn't horrible, but I so wouldn't call this blonde."

"I thought this one was full bright. Not horrible, but I don't think it's quite ready."

"very rich looking color, love the way it is highlighted"

"This one could be okay but it's very dull looking. The others have a shiny, lighted look to them."

"This color looks flat and kind of blah."

"I wouldn't wear it but I like it."

"still needs work."

"Eh... just not a fan, I really am not so fond of the blondness." (from same person about a different color) "I may actually consider wearing this color blonde! Would be great for sufer style hairs. Especially mens."

"As an avid redhead, I'm kinda disappointed in these two."

"I think the color looks really washed out. I think the color should be brighter."

"omg now i am usually NOT a fan of "off the wall" colors, but this is WOW!!! Definitely one I got noticed and complimented on a lot!"

"I think you're on to something with this, but it just really doesn't stand out to me or appeal to me."

"a keeper in my opinion :) Looked great in all kinds of light and fabulous with my skin! :) Blonde's not my usual shade but i'd definitely consider this one!"

"This one is great... I might even stray from red for this one"

"Absolutely gorgeous!"

"Not horrible, but... something just feels off."

"I am not sure if it is the style or the color but there is something about it that doesn't seem right"

"it sorta looks like there is dirt in the hair with the darker bits"

"what have you done? I actually like a blonde!!"

"the darker shades in this one aren't right somehow. Tehy detract from the overall effect rather than accenting the lighter shades."

"erm.. deff needs more work on the whole honey kinda part of this one"

"could you get any more perfect here?! seriously!"

"My favorite of the blondes. It seemed true to RL shade (was just what I would have expected)

"this seems to be two tone and lacks the complexity that I usually love about your colors."

And my absolute favorite comments:

"Hmmm, wonder if Ms Clairol has this color?"

"OMG! like a milkshake!!!! its fab!"

"OMG OMG OMG OMG YES!"

"Eww. I like the concept, but it's just ugly."

"eww it's just..no"

So you can see we got some very honest and constructive feedback. I really appreciate the "needs more..." and the "too ..." and the "not enough ...." comments.

Batch 2 will be ready soon! Hopefully there are less eww's in this one.
