What is the difference between L’Oreal Preference and L’Oreal Excellence haircolor?
Preference and Excellence are both permanent hair colors. Excellence is a crème color that provides 100% gray coverage. Preference is a liquid gel color that provides fade-defying, luminous color for up to 8 weeks. For multi-dimensional, salon-inspired results, we recommend using Preference. To cover resistant grays, we recommend using Excellence.

Which L’Oreal Excellence shade should I choose?
There is a shade guide included on the side of each pack to show the color results depending on your starting hair color. Color result may vary depending on your starting hair color and condition.

    Excellent coverage on a full head of white

    I haven't dyed my hair for at least seven years and had a full head white/silver/gray hair shoulder length. I'm 59 years old and I hate coloring hair, but I will admit I looked a few years older than what I am. Haven't tried Loreal before so I went with Medium Ash Blonde 7.5 and am amazed that it covered everything and actually looks like the color on the box. I am very happy with the product.

    The Creme de la Creme

    I’ve used L’Oréal hair dye for more years than I can remember. Nothing better in my opinion. I use #7, in case that’s what you’re interested in. Great color and never brassy. I highly recommend!!!!!!!!

    Beautiful color! My hair is naturally dirty blonde and I wanted a little change. This was the perfect color for a nice, subtle change. I will say it does fade in a couple months, so if I do dye it again, I will be getting a darker color since it does fade lighter

    Just terrible, this is worst product ever made in my life!

    We went to target and got this product for my mom, and she wanted a light brown color for her hair. We tried it at the same night, and it turned red. She burst into tears because it looked awful. Whoever made this product needs to get fired! So disappointed and this brand is as awful as it looks, how dare they!!!

    Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our L'Oreal Paris Excellence Triple Protection Permanent Hair Color. Oh no, We are truly sorry to hear about your mother's distressing experience with our hair color product. It sounds incredibly upsetting, and we can only imagine how disappointing and frustrating it must have been for her to expect a light brown shade and end up with red hair, especially after trying it on the same night. We understand that hair color is a very personal and important choice, and it’s heart-wrenching to hear that it caused your mother such distress that she burst into tears. This is certainly not the experience we want any of our customers to have. We take all feedback seriously, and we are genuinely concerned when our products don't meet expectations, especially in such a significant way.

    A customer who did not receive what they said they would do and it was important that I receive it on time.

    I ordered one little box of hair color from target on November 6 they promised it to me by November 10 , I didn't receive it on the 10th. I will never order anything from target ever ever again. I called customer service they would not help me. I ordered it on the 6th, and did not receive it it on the 10th. I trusted what they said it will arrive on the 10th it did not. If you want an order on the date that they say it will arrive do not order from target.

    Not quite the color I hoped for.

    It covered gray well but is definitely just a brown color with very little red tone. I bought the light brownish red 6A color and have light brown hair. Next time I will buy Auburn. I really liked the post coloring shampoo and conditioner that's included. So 4 stars on the product performance but I feel the color did not deliver as advertised.

    Gray hair still shows up

    I bought the mahogany red color. Love the color but it didn't hide all my grays like it says it does. And that's why I bought this brand. Wish it worked better

    They changed the formula!

    My hair gone gray in my early 30s. So I've been using L'Oreal hair color products for over 10 years. Lately not sure they changed their formula, their coverage did not last long like it used to. Usually the color lasted on my hair at least a month and half. This is my last straw. I just dyed my hair on Sept 28th. Last than 3 weeks, my gray hair are starting to show up like crazy. I am very disappointed and switching to different brand from now on.
