“I absolutely love the results :) my hair feels so soft and silky afterwards and the colour is a beautiful natural brown. The kit gives you so many tools to use for future dying and the quality of everything was great. I have very long hair so there was more than enough product to colour everything. In these lockdown times, it was great to have everything delivered to my door in an all-in-one easy kit. I’m thinking I may never need to go to a salon for colouring anymore haha. Thank you The Shade xoxo”

“I haven’t used it yet I’m so allergic to everything on my scalp and I read it can affect your eyes I’m not if that means if you get the dye in eyes or a reaction to the product as I had eye surgery 2 months ago”

“I bought the product (modena golden) hoping it would do the trick, and may be a bit better than what I usually buy. I was really really nicely surprised with the quality of The Shade. I enjoyed putting the color using the little brush. It came out really well as well. Thumbs up for your product. Thank you !”

“The brief questionnaire really did result in advising me on the right shade to pick. Went on easily, after two weeks my greys are still mainly covered with only a few poking out on the edges of my face. Mix was easy to use and easy to apply. I usually use a bottle job from grocery store, it this mixture and the brush worked much better and I'll definitely be using again. The coverage was great and the colour was a deep warm brown which was exactly what I wanted. Great product and I'm happy I found it.”

“Wow - just wow. So comprehensive, yet straightforward and easy to use. I loved the little cape in the welcome package as well as the professional brush and oil to stop the stains on the forehead and ears - definitely don't see that in the supermarket boxes. Well done!”

“Absolutely love the convenience of The Shade! The products are such great quality and I always get a beautiful result, whether I’m doing an all over colour or just touching up my roots. Covers my few little greys coming in at the crown of my head well too. I use Ravello-Natural Black Brown”

“Great website, was excited to be able to send pictures and describe my desired result with a colourist. Unfortunately, the results and follow up have been terrible. I wanted to darken/blend my natural greys into my brown. It was recommended I use an Ash Blonde. The colourist wrote “I would recommend the 10 vol toner for you. The 10 vol developer will deposit some colour, tone and shine and it achieves a demi-permanent result which will last up to 24 washes and wash/fade away without leaving a demarcation line. Toners do not lighten your base colour and the 10 vol developer can blend some greys without covering greys completely.” That is exactly what I wanted! Unfortunately, it came out with my whole hair turning auburn, it has been 6 weeks and instead of washing out i have regrowth. I asked literally the next day for suggestions and got zero reply. I spent another $50 on their vitimin C gentle remover rubbish yesterday which just turned it yellow. I have so much regret for using this product on my uncoloured natural hair. A flashy website, staff are great at selling you things but don’t care after that.”

Hi Anna, I'm sorry you weren't happy with your result. Unfortunately we haven't received any contact from you since September 26th when you contacted one of our colourists. It is essential to apply a cool-toned permanent or demi-permanent colour after the CPR application. The following is stated on the Vit C CPR product page: "Lifting added colour pigments can reveal warm tones which are naturally present in the hair. You will need to apply a demi-permanent (10 vol developer) or permanent colour (20 or 27 vol developer) with cool secondary tones after you have removed unwanted darker pigments to balance tone and colour". Please don't hesitate to contact one of our colourists at colourist@theshade.com.au Best Regards, Marco The Shade

“I absolutly love this product. I have saved so much money as I only get a straight out colour. my hubby applies it for good bonding time and I feel it lasts longer than when I use to go to the hairdresser. I highly recommend!!!”

“The colour I got was more of a copper/red brown colour! But I love it! Usely I’m very hesitant with home hair dyes, but this one covered my regrowth so so well! Made my hair look so much healthier, thicker and longer! I think next I will try a mix colour! But overall work a treat!”

“Very impressed! I was wary of ordering due to bad experiences with box dye. But I was so surprised in the results! Now I have the colour I’ve never been able to get from local hairdressers - and at a fraction of the cost! Added bonus is I don’t waste half my weekend stuck in a hairdressers chair once a month.”

“I was apprehensive about dying my hair at home for the first time in years but I’m on maternity leave and can’t get to a salon at the moment. I’m so impressed with the results! It was very easy to apply and I didn’t make a huge mess of my bathroom. The colour is so good and still so shiny a couple of weeks later. I’ve received a lot of compliments on my “unique” colour and people have assumed that this cost me a couple of hundred dollars at a salon.”
