Rated 4 out of 5 by from I few tweaks! This product was great for grey coverage, but i do feel like within 2 weeks my client thought the color started to fade a little. I do feel as though if you leave it on for an extra 5 minutes it could be perfect.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Overall, its good, but not great. If only the warmth were toned down, a wee bit, and it was more customizable for higher % gray. I took two stars off for these reasons. However, for you average client who just wants a natural base, new growth coverage, doesnt have more than 20% gray, and who is fine being on the warmer side: this is a usable formula. But for now Ill stick with my tried and trues.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from First impression I got this product for free in exchange for my honest review. This is my first time trying a hair color product from Loreal (besides their drugstore box color) so I didn’t have much of an expectation. I got the color 7B and I feel like my end result reflected a true blue-tone dark blonde. However, the color did not last too long compared to the Wella color I use regularly. I think mixing two colors would have have a better color payoff as well.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great gray coverage! Loved how easy it was to apply, though it did get a little runny, perhaps from over mixing? Almost like a gloss. It left the hair very soft and shiny, plus had amazing gray coverage which is what I needed it for! I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good but not great… So I am a Wella girl through and through, but I wanted to give something new a try. I loved how gentle it is on the scalp and I love the shine that it gives. However, I felt the gray coverage wasn’t the greatest. I think it could be a great option for those not resistant or heavily “grayed”clients but considering the majority of my client based is seeking gray coverage it’s a pass for me..

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No brass baby! It does an incredible job on grey coverage and leaving the hair feeling healthy and shiny. My client deals with a lot of brass so I was excited to try 7.1 alongside 6.0 to help cool any brass that may come along with her root coverage. I wish I would’ve taken an after photo bc it was refreshing to see no brass at her roots for once. I will keep using this on my client! The oil based color is super nice on her fragile hair as well

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Game Changer As a stylist, I’ve used iNOA 6N and 7.1 Ammonia-Free Permanent Hair Colors on multiple clients looking for rich, natural-looking brunette tones without the harshness of traditional color lines, and the results have been consistently impressive. One of the biggest benefits is the ammonia-free formula. Clients immediately notice the difference during application, no overwhelming chemical smell, less scalp irritation, and a much more comfortable overall experience. For clients sensitive to strong hair color odors, iNOA has honestly been a game changer. The 6N delivers beautiful, balanced natural depth with excellent gray coverage, while the 7.1 gives a cool ash finish that helps neutralize unwanted warmth without looking dull or over-ashy. Together, they create dimensional, sophisticated brunette results that photograph beautifully and grow out naturally. I’ve also noticed the hair maintains a healthier feel and shine after coloring compared to many traditional permanent dyes. Even clients with previously dry or compromised hair have commented that their hair felt softer and smoother afterward. That alone keeps people coming back. Processing is reliable, the consistency is easy to work with, and the color longevity has held up well between appointments. Like any professional color line, proper formulation matters, especially with ash tones, but when used correctly, the results look very polished and expensive. Overall, iNOA 6N and 7.1 have become dependable shades in my color routine for clients wanting elegant brunette tones, gray coverage, shine, and a gentler coloring experience without sacrificing performance.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good color not gray optimal The iNOA hair color appears to be a great option for clients with less than 30% gray hair. In my experience, it did not provide optimal gray coverage for higher percentages of gray hair. However, it is a gentler formula and may be especially suitable for clients with sensitive scalps.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Brunette Blend I Keep Reaching For🤎 As a stylist and salon owner, I’ve worked extensively with the INOA line paired with a 20 volume developer, and it’s become a reliable go-to for consistent, high-quality results. First, the no-ammonia formula is a standout. Clients immediately notice the difference…there’s little to no harsh odor, and overall scalp comfort is significantly improved, even for those who are typically more sensitive. That alone makes the experience feel more elevated and client-friendly in the chair. The 6N delivers a rich, balanced natural brunette that doesn’t skew too warm or flat, making it perfect for coverage and low-maintenance clients. The 7B adds a soft, cool-beige reflect that’s ideal for neutralizing unwanted warmth while still keeping the result dimensional and natural-looking. What I really appreciate is the condition of the hair post-service. The oil delivery system leaves the hair noticeably smoother, shinier, and healthier-feeling compared to traditional permanent color lines. Even on previously compromised hair, the integrity holds up well. The consistency of the color is easy to work with… smooth application, great saturation, and minimal dripping. Processing is even from root to ends, which cuts down on the need for constant checking or correcting. Overall, INOA is a solid choice for stylists who want dependable lift, true-to-tone results, and a more comfortable experience for their clients. Disclaimer: I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Did not provide gray coverage This was easy to mix. It had a mild smell. It was easy to apply. My client had 40% gray and the color did not totally cover the gray.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Review Crew It was ok. It definitely pulled a little warm, right at root area.i mixed 6n and 7.1 with the 20 vol Inoa Developer. Didn’t hate it but wont be adding to my lineup.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from best on sensitive scalps INOA is by far the best color I have used on clients with sensitive scalps. They can’t feel a thing. & there is almost no smell at all.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful I love how well this covers gray while still being so gentle especially for clients with sensitive scalps since it’s ammonia-free. The color comes out super vibrant, shiny, and really holds up over time. It’s definitely something I’d keep using in the salon and feel confident recommending to my clients.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy to use Really good product! Super easy to use. I definitely would’ve liked a little bit better gray coverage but overall this is really good.
Date published: 2026-04-30
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good for color change The color is beautiful and on tone. I would have liked better gray coverage. Not asking for full gray coverage but definitely not for stubborn grays. I would use this just as a color change.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lovely shine I'm always for ammonia free hair color for my clients with a sensitive scalp. This provided really good coverage and gave a beautiful glossy finish. I used this hair color on myself to see how the color holds up after washes. I've had it on for almost two months and the color is still looking really glossy. I wash my hair three times a week, I live in SoCal so the sun rays are strong, and the color is holding up really good so far!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Unbelievable coverage, different texture I loved the texture of the thick creamy developer, until it was mixed with the color and then within minutes it became so much thinnner and almost goopy; and I do use a scale. However, there wasn't a smell at all and the gray coverage was unbelievable! I chose to put some highlights throughout the hair on top of the color and I found as it lifted that the base was red/orange-ish and I had an extremely hard time to remove it to have non-brassy highlights. I did receive this product as a free sample to try for an honest review.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good I like this color line I always have great success and it always comes out beautiful. It gives the hair a great shine without feeling overly drying and has a even color throughout the hair

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it!! I did receive this product free in exchange for a review, but here is my HONEST review after using: I love having the ammonia free options, and there are SO MANY shades. Gray coverage and no fragrance!!! Doesn't drip/run, and left my client SO SHINY *
Date published: 2026-04-27
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love! Obsessed! I initially tried this on a client with sensitive scalp but it came out visibly softer and shinier than other permanents I’d used before I’m now switching to this color line. Hair felt healthier and looked so vibrant and true to tone. I’m so giddy over this!
Date published: 2026-04-27
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great! The consistency was thick and didn’t make a mess like my usual Redken shades eq does. Glad they are making an ammonia free for sensitive scalps and noses! I would try it again!
Date published: 2026-04-27
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Pleasantly surprised! I received this color and developer to review. I was very pleased with the gentleness this product offers. The consistency is thicker than I’m used to but it went on great and I love that there is new options for ammonia free for sensitive scalps. The grey coverage was great. The hair turned out shiny and soft.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from New Favorite Color New Favorite Color....if you are looking for grey coverage that is also a beautifull color this is it...and if you have clients with dry frizzy hair switch them to this and you will see and feel a difference about the third retouch..every one's hair feels stronger and is shinnier since switching to this..also does not fade like the amonia colors....flawless grey coverage every time

French Blending gray coverage vs. Classic gray coverage before and after photos
Retouch blending, dimensional grey blending salon service before and after photo

FAQs

A: It’s a trademarked L’Oreal Professionel service that pairs innovative, unique color recipes with technique to follow the grey pattern, instead of covering them.

A: French Blending is a highly personalized strategy pairing unique color recipes with innovative application techniques for more natural, multidimensional grey coverage.

A: For anyone seeking a natural, modern, low-maintenance approach to greys. For clients who prefer enhancing their natural tones rather than masking them.

A:


1. Retouch Blending: Loyal clients who do touchups at home. 

  • Blend greys with a seamless low-maintenance touch-up. 


2. Total Blending: Retain loyalty clients & wants less maintenance. 

  • Embrace greys with a blended, tailor-made look. 


3. First Blending: Recruit 1st grey color service in-salon. 

  • Blend the first signs of greys, with a natural, lived-in result. 

A: The service relies on iNOA, Dia Color, Blond Studio, and Dia light, allowing colorists to combine tone, depth, lightener with precision for a fully customized result.

A: iNOA is an ammonia-free permanent hair color powered by Oil Delivery System (ODS) technology. Its 60% oil-based formula uses the hydrophobic nature of oil and water to deliver colorant deep into the hair's cortex, with a low dose of monoethanolamine (MEA) gently opening the cuticle in place of ammonia. The result is a completely odorless application that disturbs the hair cuticle less than traditional permanent color, delivering added shine and a visibly healthy finish on all hair formations. iNOA color and developer are also certified 100% vegan.

A: iNOA follows a 1:1 mixing ratio — combine 2.1 oz. of iNOA color with 2.1 oz. of iNOA Oil Developer (available in 10, 20, or 30-vol.). Process for 35 minutes for up to 100% grey coverage. For detailed instructions on applying color through the lengths and ends, refer to the iNOA Technical Guide.
