MY PROS:
1.) Fast delivery, easy ordering, intuitive selection process
2.) Easy to follow application process
3.) Did not smell too weird
4.) Left beard softer and more manageable than prior to usage
5.) Colored gray and white hairs easily and thoroughly (it just worked as expected)
MY CONS:
1.) Color was too dark but I have mixed hair colors so my fault
2.) Stains anything it touches (including sinks) so heed the warnings
3.) I now feel like I can tell when other people dyed their beard, which leaves me wondering "can they tell that I dye my beard!?"
4.) After first deals are over, I can see it gets quite expensive (over time) keeping the ole' man-beard clever
5.) Upon purchase and subsequent usage, I realized I was admitting I was officially an old guy now

Thanks for the detailed review! Glad the ordering, application, and results worked well, and your beard feels softer and looks great!
We hear you on the color intensity and the need for application precautions. As for the "can they tell?" feeling – you're not alone! Looking sharp is clever, not old.
Reach out if you need help with your shade or have long-term questions. We're here for you!
I like the less unsafe ingredients that my other brand had. The set has a great brush. The scrub and shampoo work great. Mixing tray isn’t flimsy like previous brand. I have a goatee and have gotten more than 3 uses out of one kit. Will definitely buy again.
That's wonderful to hear! We're so pleased you appreciate our focus on less unsafe ingredients and are enjoying the quality of the brush, scrub, and shampoo. It's also great to know the mixing tray is a step up and that one kit is lasting you so many uses for your goatee. We look forward to your next purchase! Thanks for the great feedback!
Was a nice fix for my grey hairs. I was looking for something with lrs chemicals and so far am happy with the results
That's great to hear it worked well for your grey hairs! We're glad you're happy with the results and that it met your needs. Thanks for sharing your positive experience!
Some of the dark blonde thru medium brown shades are really the same when applied for the same time. Also, the color isn't quite as natural as advertised.
We appreciate you letting us know that some dark blonde to medium brown shades appeared similar with the same application time, and your thoughts on the naturalness of the color.

Great product. Does not irritate skin nearly as bad as lJFM did. Longevity varies and feeds fairly quickly, but all in all, a good buy.
Thanks for the honest review! We're happy to hear it's gentler on your skin than your previous brand. We’re always working to improve longevity, so your feedback is super helpful. Glad you're enjoying the product overall!
I like the fact that this hair color is a multi use product. I have used something similar that was more expensive but I didn't have to mix it. I've used it already and it works good. Hopefully it lasts
Thanks for your review! We're happy to hear you're enjoying the multi-use feature and that it's working well so far. We hope you continue to get great results—let us know how it holds up over time!
Easy to use. Less skin irritation. Easy to remove dye from skin. Nice coverage. Less time needed to dye. The price may be high, until you consider cost of single use beard dye. So far, I believe is a good deal.
+Eliminates Desired Level Of Gray
Wow, that's amazing! We're so thrilled to hear you found it easy to use and that it works well for you. Thank you for saying it's one of the best out there – that means a lot!
Gave 4 stars because the kit is really nicely put together. Would be 5 if had received the correct color. It appears the box was relabeled wrong. Ordered auburn but received med brown. Luckily my beard is kinda in-between the two colors so I was able to make it work
We're glad to hear you liked the kit, but we’re sorry about the mix-up with the color. Accuracy is important to us, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. If you ever receive the wrong shade again, please reach out, and we’ll make it right. We’re happy to hear you were still able to make it work!

Option 1 (Enthusiastic and Appreciative):
We're thrilled to hear that! It's fantastic that our color system helped you avoid those reddish undertones. Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with the quick and easy application. We really appreciate your feedback!
You have the best hair dye I have ever used, BUT I believe the subscription model is a waste of cardboard and shipping.
I would prefer to buy 5 or 6 on one order, thus reducing all those shipping and packaging costs. Also I only use the gloves, dye, and activator. I throw away everything else. What a waste!
+Natural-Looking Result+Color Matches Desired Result+High Quality Gloves That Fit My Hands+Mess-Free+Works Fast
We understand your concerns about packaging and shipping. While our subscription model is designed for convenience, we appreciate your suggestion and will share it with our team.
We appreciate your insight about the kit contents. We'll take this into account as we continue improving our products and packaging.
If there's anything else we can do for you, let us know!
I've been using mens grey cover up dyes for a few years. My grey's are difficult to cover and within one treatment using Cleverman I had the most coverage compared to any other dye kit I've used in the past. I will continue to stay on subscription as this product works great!

The WordsThat Come Back
What customers name most often, review after review. Select any one to read only those.
Does Cleverman cover the gray?
825 of 2,509 reviewers name gray coverage as the reason they rated the kit. Coverage is a choice at the quiz: Full Coverage takes all of it, Salt & Pepper leaves some of it, and the formula is mixed to the gray level you report.
How does it feel on the skin?
1,447 reviewers name how the kit leaves their hair or how natural the colour looks. Cleverman is free from ammonia, parabens, sulfates, silicones, phthalates and resorcinol, and the developer carries SkinArmor Technology. Do the patch test before the first application, and if you have reacted to a color product before, talk to a doctor first.
* Study participant, not a verified buyer. These before-and-after photos come from a Cleverman formula test run in Barcelona in 2019, before the product launched. The men are real, took part in the test, and were photographed before and after use: same light, same frame, same crop, and the treated area is not retouched. Participants were compensated for taking part and signed a release. They are test participants, not verified buyers, and individual results vary. The 4.7 rating and every review count on this page come from verified orders only — not from the test.
† Incentivized reviews. Some of the reviews counted here were written by customers who received a free product for writing one. The reward was given whatever the rating, it was never conditioned on a positive review, and every review that earned one is labeled “Incentivized” on the review itself.
