The Match-Up is a subscription box by eSalon. Receive your choice of 3 hair care, styling, or brow and accessory items for only $30 per order (plus $4.95 S&H), saving you up to 45% off retail prices on all non-hair color products.  Also, add up to 2 bonus items for an additional 25% off each add-on. All products have a 100% guarantee. You can control the frequency of your Match-Up deliveries (from 4-12 weeks), modify your ship date, or skip any upcoming order. Try your first Match-Up for $15!

Choose between two options. Your Pick allows you to personally mix & match your own products every order. With Expert Pick, the hair professionals at eSalon make tailored suggestions based on your hair care needs and styling habits (you’ll create a hair profile). Through your account page, you can switch between modes anytime before your products are due to ship. For this box, I opted for Your Pick.

My product information card included a brief description of each item along with my savings. There’s also a brief hair tip or “Love Note” from the eSalon team. On a side note, if you are not using your products quickly, you can space deliveries out to as much as every 12 weeks.

Your products arrive wrapped in tissue paper and packed into this reusable cloth bag. I re-use these bags to store shoes and bags that are not being used regularly. The information card is packed on top and your savings greet you when you open the box.

Here is my Match Up.

Gaining Strength Repair Shampoo ($15.00): This shampoo made my hair feel soft and smooth. I had been using Easy Glider, eSalon’s smoothing shampoo, but like this so much more. My hair just looked so much healthier after shampooing.

This is our remedy for over-treated, over-processed hair. Our sulfate-free cleanser gently removes product buildup while helping to replenish weakened, stressed-out strands. Add this to your shampoo library if you dye, bleach, perm or chemically straighten and whip damage back into revitalized, renewed shape.

At Full Strength Repair Conditioner ($15.00): This conditioner has great slip and easily worked through tangles. I’d been using Gliding Glory from eSalon, which helps reduce frizz and flyaways. At Full Strength reinforces damaged hair fibers, also helping to increase manageability. I like that this conditioner helps strengthen my hair. I noticed less hair fallout when I use it.

Weakened, fragile strands need serious replenishment, so we developed our conditioner to rehab over-processed or over-styled hair back into strong standing. Extra detangling so you don’t add to the breakage count, our formula locks onto the hair cuticle to help protect against damage for a resilient, gorgeous finish.

Wrap Session Color and Bleach Resistant Towel ($12.00): I plan on coloring my hair soon and hate it when there’s color transfer onto my towels after I dye my hair. In fact, I keep a stack of junk towels just for coloring purposes. This is a microfiber towel and absorbs a lot of water and helps dry hair faster. Plus, the black color masks any dye transfer that may occur. However, this towel is not heat resistant. I rested my flat iron on it while straightening my hair and noticed orange burn marks on the towel and black dye transfer onto the iron. ?

Color with confidence! Our luxurious medium-sized towel safeguards skin and clothes so you can achieve a mess- and stain-free color application. Super fine, extremely absorbent microfibers also allow you a gentle towel-dry for just-washed hair. Win-win!

Purchased individually, these items would have cost me $42. By using The Match-Up service is saved $7; I look at it as I got the towel with a 60% discount. I chose the Your Pick option because it’s been a while and I needed specific hair care products. My next order will probably be Expert Pick – I like to see what the eSalon team feels I need based on my profile. I like that this subscription delivers salon quality products right to my door.
