“The colour match was perfect. Loved the shampoo and conditioner provided too. Would be great if you could buy these separately. Some of my greys did not colour but will leave it on longer next time.”

“I am an ex hairdresser and had iso regrowth and old foiled hair. My base is a dirty blonde around 8 level. I am so impressed with the colour I chose 7.53. Covered brilliantly over my blonde and roots ( few cheeky greys in there). Colour is even throughout. Am looking forward to see how the colour fades.”

“I have had so many people compliment my hair. They are so surprised when I tell them I did it myself! The depth of the colour is extraordinary yet so simple to achieve. I’m not particularly good at things like doing hair but the kit and instructions made it easy even for an inexperienced person like myself. I will always colour my hair at home now.”

“I was so excited to try the shade after reading so many positive reviews. I loved the whole process! The colour consult was friendly and easy. Delivery was fast, it comes with everything you need and the brush etc are excellent quality. I didn't have any itchiness for the first time ever dying my hair and was really happy with the colour. (Dark brown) I used the pre softener for grey hair and all my greys were covered after colouring. The shampoo and conditioner were really good too and made my hair very shiny and healthy looking. Happy to subscribe!”

“Loving my new look. My hair doesn't feel dried out it feel natural. So happy with some great advice for consultants l was able choose my new look.”

“I have been using The Shade since October 2019. I changed from your normal supermarket dyes to The Shade as my hair was being ruined. After one purchase I was hooked on how full coverage, soft and shiny my hair was. I’ve used The Shade dye and bleaching kit to go lighter on my own with great success and without damage to my hair. For the price it’s definitely worth it and I love you can change the subscription with ease.”

Helpful Report

“So happy! After years of bleaching and dying my hair every colour imaginable, my scalp became extremely sensitive. So when I decided to dye my hair black for better grey coverage (because unfortunately at 34 that’s now the scary reality!) I found that every black hair dye I tried burnt my scalp. While I did have some minor irritation with The Shade Black, it was nothing like any other dye I have tried. And the coverage is amazing! So dark and even! Plus the barrier oil is super helpful! I highly recommend this hair dye!”

“The Shade is an awesome company. My hair never felt so much better since changing to them. Before the colour never hold longer enough, but with the shade my hair lasts 8 weeks before I need to reapply. Never going back to anything else. And the best information its all natural.”

“I admit the idea of a subscription and locking into hair colour was unusual.... But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense! I loved my first go at colouring with this brand. I previously used a natural hair colour because of a sensitive scalp, no issues with the shade and it gives an even beautiful depth of colour... Good coverage of my brunette and grey hair and I am definitely continuing with my subscription 😊 highly recommend!”

“Very impressed! Covered my 'platinum' highlights (greys) very well. I used the Mahogany Brown, thought it was very dark to start with, but I'm happy with it. I will definitely be ordering again. My daughter, 10yo, loved applying the colour for me :)”

“I'm converted! I decided to give this a go during COVID restrictions after years of getting my hair coloured at salons. I picked The Shade because of the omission of chemicals. I'm blown away by the results. The colour is gorgeous - definitely looks like I've had it done professionally. My hair is shiny and no scalp irritation. Also no colour run off after initial application. And the cost saving is huge. No going back for me.”

Helpful Report

“I was really hesitant to try as I usually go to a professional salon to dye my hair but I was desperate for a healthier and cheaper solution as I felt like I'm spending too much time and money at the salon just to get all those chemicals in hair! I was pleasantly surprised with the results!! The colour fits me perfectly and was super easy to apply, saved me tons of time and so much money and my hair looks and feels better than ever!! Highly recommend!”

“I am so happy with the Catania - lightest beige blonde that I am about to receive a third shipment. Prior to using the Catania my hair was a very light silver blonde that would go yellow within a couple of washes if I didn't use a blue shampoo. Since using Cantania I haven't had to use a blue shampoo. The roots don't go as light as the bleached hair but I still love the colour. It has given my hair an ombre look. At this stage I am happy to continue letting it grow out without bleaching. Eventially, I am bleach wash my hair to lighten it again the unbleached hair. The product doesn't dry my hair out. I just added the extra shampoo and conditioner to my order because they leave my hair feeling soft and it doesn't go frizzy. After a couple of washes with my regular shampoo and condition, that is not cheap supermarket stuff. My hair is dry and frizzy again. There is no comparison... Salon results for home hair colour prices! Love it!”
