I like the items in the kit,however I would prefer to buy some items individually. The applicator and dish can be reused so I have no need to repurchase those monthly

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you like the items in the kit. Unfortunately, at this moment, the only configuration we have available is the complete kit. We'll take this into consideration as we look for ways to improve our offerings.

Natural and almost effortless

Full Coverage Immediate KitFind your shade ›

As far as the color, it by far looks the most natural of any product I've tried. Also, the scrub used to wash your beard after dying is great. I actually wish they sold it separately. My only issue was/is the missing container. It's a bit awkward and unwieldy. Overall, though, it's a great product.

Hi Jon, Thank you for your review! We're glad you found the color natural and enjoyed the scrub. We'll consider selling it separately. Sorry about the missing container. We'll look into it. Overall, we're happy you're pleased with the product.

Good Product

Full Coverage Immediate KitFind your shade ›

I think it needs a little tweaking as it did not cover the sides as good as it could have and the side burns I had to do again but its still not perfect. I actually made a mistake in the colour as I thought it would be a little lighter than it was. I would like to try the lightest colour you do as i am naturally blonde and still have some blonde in my hair. But I think I may try it again as I say with a lighter colour.

Cleverman

Hi Ron, Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your honest review and understand your concerns. It sounds like the coverage on the sides and sideburns didn't meet your expectations, and the color was darker than anticipated. We recommend trying the lightest shade available, especially given your naturally blonde hair. If you decide to give it another go with a lighter color, we'd love to hear how it turns out. Your input helps us improve our products and better serve our customers.

5 stars would have been given except for the price AND the packaging! It’s ridiculous so much waste and cardboard. The product is good, no yellowing of the greys.

Easy to do and worked great

Beard KitFind your shade ›

Hardest part was selecting a color to order for my beard but luckily ended up guessing correctly. The kit is labeled with steps/instructions very clearly which makes it a pinch to get started and use. The dye worked great. It applied easily and acheived the salt and pepper partial coverage I was looking matching my hair. It looks really natural and took to my beard hair without any issues and didn't dye my skin at all (even places where I over shot with application). Didn't smell insanely chemical-y or irritate my skin. Highly recommend. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5... - the coloring cream in tube seems like it comes out semi-mixed with a lighter cream and a much darker pigment separated. Which made mixing inconsistent. This might be as intended for the color but not sure. - Super minor but I wish subscription kits could simplified after first order. ie. reduce cost and waste with options to leave out new instructions, gloves, flimsy plastic mixing dish, and/or face wash (menthol scrub was awesome but I have a regular face scrub that I use).

Hi Drew, We're thrilled to hear you had a positive experience with our kit, from the ease of use to the natural-looking results! Your feedback is invaluable to us. Regarding your points, we'll definitely look into improving the consistency of the coloring cream and simplifying subscription kits after the first order to reduce waste. Thank you for your support and recommendation!

It's easy to use and comes with good instructions. The color looks natural. I was hoping it would have lasted longer. Within 7 days all the gray was visible full length not just at the root. Did have some shipping issues and customer service was quick to respond and very helpful.

Great product, easy to apply and great results

Salt & Pepper Blended KitFind your shade ›

I like how easy this product is to mix and apply and that it only takes 5 mins to get good results. I don't feel I need all of the items in the kit and I don't like the items in the form of packets; i.e. the barrier cream. I personally only use the cream color, cream developer, and barrier cream. In my subscription, I'd prefer to just get tubes of each of these, at refill time.

The product is great, and it covers my hair well. Other products would disappear within days, while Cleverman lasts weeks. The only thing is the subscription frequency, and there needs to be a 10-week option. This would be the perfect timing for me and this great product.

Best grey hair treatment I ever bought

I have tried many different grey hair treatment products and this product is the only on that can cover grey hair with my type of hair texture. All the other products that I have used never worked no matter how much I put in my hair. This product also doesn't stain my pillows like the other products

Blonde too dark, but provides coverage

Beard KitFind your shade ›

The kit is easy to use and mix. It definitely provides coverage, but makes my beard darker than the light and medium blondes it should be. However, I seem to have the same issue with other coloring brands too. Maybe it's just my beard. I'll try less time on the next application.

I'd been contemplating dying my beard for a while and finally pulled the trigger on your kit. I love the presentation and packaging, as well as the dying process. It was super easy and I am absolutely happy with the results. I didn't experience any skin reactions or irritation. I only wish there were a few more rubber gloves for future touch ups as the kit comes with 4-6 uses. Either way, I'm so glad I chose this company to help this 50yr old guy revitalize his look! (I still left the chin grey, thought it'd be a unique look)

Have you ever considered working multi reusable dye like Simpler? I’m not complaining and I’m satisfied with Cleverman’s results so far but I think having that multi use product would be great for your company. Thanks

Too bad they don’t have ginger

Beard KitFind your shade ›

This beard coloring kit is easy to apply and inexpensive compared to other products using skin-safe ingredients. The process takes a few minutes and the end result is startling. Unfortunately they don’t offer a solution for ginger hair which is what I have. And while my beard has gone snow white my head still has its original color, or thereabouts. The auburn shades are therefore noticeably wrong for me which means that I have to pay almost twice as much for a competing brand. :-(

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.
