I’ve been experimenting with hair dye since seventh grade, when I turned my locks magenta. Over the years, I've tried every shade under the sun, including a terrible idea of bleaching to level 10 white blond and layering fashion purple over natural brown. Despite loving beauty printers for custom foundation, Zuvi ColorBox falls short.

The ColorBox has a sleek design but comes with a few disappointing accessories—a cracked bowl, flimsy whisk, small, ineffective tint brush and comb, and only one pair of gloves. The machine itself is compact, yet the included components are barely enough to get started.

More frustratingly, it lacked a wall adapter for the necessary USB-C cable. Such omissions reflect poorly on modern product design. It’s not just about functionality; it's also about user experience and attention to detail.

In an era where technology is revolutionizing everything from makeup to skincare, Zuvi ColorBox seems stuck in the past. While the promise of custom hair dye at home sounds appealing, the practical shortcomings make it a tough sell for the discerning DIY enthusiast or casual user alike.
