I have never had the burn/itch problem. My beef is that JFM just doesn't work anymore. I agree that the formula changed, and it even says that on the box. 5-6 minutes used to do the trick (as recently as 1 year ago). But with recent purchases, that amount of time did nothing. Once the product is rinsed out it's like you never did it at all. So I started trying leaving it in longer. 8 minutes, 10 minutes, 15, and now even at 20 minutes it only has a small effect that is gone within a day or 2. One important thing to note is that if you are using it on stubble or very short hair, and then trimming, it will of course go away faster as you trim off the only part that got dyed. That said, I also use it on my eyebrows, with the same recently poor results, and they don't really grow that much are rarely get trimmed.

This product is TERRIBLE!! JFM burns your face so BAD. And makes blisters and scars. The itch makes it worse. This product needs to be banned. Even after reading the instructions the burns still came.

The worst product ever bought. I have purchased 2 shampoo sets for hair, mustache, and chin. They sent damaged and explosive packages in the shipping box, and when communicating with the seller (Amazon), he refused to solve the problem and told me that I had to return to the factory, and when communicating with them, they refused and evaded solving the problem permanently. Unfortunately, they have poor customer service and do not have the lowest standards of respect or professionalism. It is not recommended to buy from them from any online site at all. I Lost money and time. Case number: **

I have used JFM for over 10 years. About 3 weeks ago after using the beard/mustache dye, my face became uncontrollably itchy. My face and lips have also swollen only where I applied the product. I’m writing this at 2 am because the itching is so severe I can’t sleep. What has changed??? I have welts on my skin where the product was applied. There has to have been a change.

Quality has declined significantly over the past year. I've been using this product since 2021 and I have experienced the chemical burn that others talk about. However my main issue is that this product is no longer long-lasting. I find that it fades in 1-2 days compared to previously, when color would last for weeks.

The price of Just for Men keeps going up so much my wife decided to use her light brown hair color on my hair and beard. It came out so much better and the price is half the cost of Just for Men and lasts longer. The Light Brown in Just for Men came out so dark and the women's hair color comes out true to the color. I am so happy I switched. The price they are now charging for Just for Men is outrageous.

“Seems Recent chemical formula changed, there must have been a change with the hair color chemical formula, I’ve been using it for over 8 years with no problems and in the past couple of weeks whenever I use it, there is a burning and itching. I’m going to switch to something less harsh,”

I have been using this product for the last 22 years. The quality of the Product very good but the cap for colour tubes breaks at tip. Once it tube tip breaks the tube is useless. This is not first time happening to me. This is fourth or fifth time happening to me. Regarding Price I used to buy this same product for $5.99. Now the price is $12.99 and I always buy from CVS. If price goes up I understand but the quality should be good, but very sorry to say the quality of packing. If this continues it's bad news for the company.

This is third incident of Color base tube cracking at threaded opening on M-30- Light-Medium Brown. Company recommends you firmly tighten fitting; but opening needs to be reinforced. (Will crack after a few uses.) Have had good results with product, except for some minor itching at Application point. Wanted consumers to be aware of this problem. Have asked for compensation of product at Men's only Company in form of coupon to replace lost product.

Initially, I indented to write this with the belief that JFM Beard color must have changed formulas fairly recently or least tweaked it? But now seeing other reviews, issues, complaints, lawsuits etc going back quite a way...It appears for whatever reason was not aware of this many very serious either "Chemical burn" or Allergic Reaction happening or had happened.
At the same time I'm not willing to throw out my original thought of a recent change. Moreover I have to consider the possibility if a tweaking did happen is could be contributing to this already dangerous issue. I will get that in a min, first I want to make it clear, as I was not meaning to infer that I had "No Idea" that that this could even happen of course there is always a "chance" as the company makes it very clear about the 48" hour test. (More on the 48 test coming) So, here's why I think my first thought is still in play.... Simply I have been using JFM Beard and sometimes hair for "Many" years, and never had an issue, or this type of issue (I have had times it just didn't color as well normal). Now? I have a BIG issue!
The last 2 boxes, one M-55 as M-50 my usual, recently it has become impossible to find at least in my local Big W stores...So it was the M- 55 not the first time I've had to go to the 55, but it was the first time I had any type of "reaction" (late Dec 2022). At the time I didn't think of it as "reaction" of any kind... I thought it to be an irritation maybe caused by old, or improper product storage or just a bad mix of formula which at "that" moment, I was willing to accept, I wouldn't have even given a negative review considering my history of satisfactory results using JFM. Not sure the exact # of beard and (occasional hair) dye kits I purchased as I used to get them for Dad as well, But personal use conservative guess... 130 X's in last... 9 -10 years? So, I had no reason to distrust their products, If I only knew what was to come...Since still unable to find M-50 locally not 1 box and moreover no spot for the 50 on the shelves anymore?
I was getting it just few months ago? Anyway I attempted online, found a few but price was higher than normal, no deal on (single box), I found "M-46" never noticed that color or the mention of Biotin aloe & coconut oil either thought that was something new? So Give it a shot right?... Now let me be clear!! I am guilty most times not doing the "48" in all honesty very rare when I did and I couldn't tell you (Prior to *) last time I did? Now I know I'm not alone I mean 10+ years of no Issues? I was a JFM supporter!! Ok so the *(means this time). Yup and I CAN TELL the very last 48 was the M-46 and I only did it because of the irritation with the 55 and 3 hours last no reason for concern test came back negative! SO this 46 "chemical reaction" was much and I mean much more severe, as a matter of fact. I don't even think last time with M-55 was even the same thing at all. There was zero itch, just a slight burn feeling.
This was so violent like bee stings. After a while such a terrible irritation, burning, and ITCHING. the itching never so bad, my eyes were tearing up. Lol. It was relentless! And I wanted to scratch so bad but I restrained myself, This started maybe 15-20 mins. After I finished the coloring, washing and cleaning up I was losing it. I wanted to take a sanding wheel to my face! Honestly not exaggerating, It was as if I had rubbed my face with fiber-glass insulation for a few hours.
Next was redness and bumps everywhere in and around beard within 2 hours at most?... The cheeks being the worst, by next day some of these bumps became small "Sores" (not from scratching either). When I did touch my face was with open hand the sores started oozing some kind of fluid that had a... I guess blood and clear liquid look? Like infection puss really? Severe irritation, burning, and itchiness lasted that day.
On day 3 finally subsided only itched on and off.. In the pictures most areas are less red roughly 3 1/2 days later. But the lumps were getting harder, why I didn't take more pics right away (I took one but came out poor). Not only am I upset that my face is all messed up, but I lost the only beard and Mustache dye I ever used!... Hope I find a new one. That's if the big wound ever heals. I'm on day 8 post incident and it looks nasty, maybe even worse! Obviously "JFM" was removed from "MY" shelf for life! See pics below.
DAY 5, 6 & 7 pics As I have saved both products including what remained it tubes I realized the First reaction. Not only am I upset that my face is all messed up, but I lost the only beard and Mustache dye I ever used!... Hope I find a new one. That's if the big wound ever heals. I'm on day 8 post incident and it looks nasty, maybe even worse! Obviously "JFM" was removed from "My" shelf for life! See pics below. (well I was going to attach a few unflattering pictures of my scared face) But no upload on this sit
