“Its so easy to use and I love the colour that I had help with the colour consultation to pick my colour so thank you for this colour and I can't wait to put the next colour in”

Hi Latarsha, Sorry you didn't get the grey coverage you were looking for. It seems you have particularly colour resistant greys. Please contact one of colourists here who can assist you: https://theshade.com.au/colourist/ I hope his helps! Craig The Shade

“Nice colors. I find it easy to apply. And with your first order, you receive everything in a lovely little kit, with everything you need, for much less than the hairdresser. I think it's money well spent.”

“I received my first order this week! I have never coloured my hair my self so I was really apprehensive but I loved the Chocolate Blonde!! Exactly the colour I have been looking for since going dark after being blonde my whole life! I decided to only freehand brush it through so I still had some lighter tones and I am thrilled! What a lovely colour, the conditioner smelt amazing and really softened my hair up after washing out the colour.”

“Really straightforward application. First time I’ve done my own colour and not gone to a professional. I like the colour. A little more warmer and red toned than I though it would be compared to picture and name -chocolate blonde but nice nonetheless. Would use again - May go for a more neutral/ cooler look next time”

“I was looking for a natural hair dye and I'm so glad I found The Shade. The application was easy and there is no chemical smell. The colour was exactly what I wanted and lasts really well with no fading. I picked Modena-golden brown. Will definitely continue my subscription and would recommend this brand to anyone.”

“I had to start using natural hair colour free of chemicals as my scalp became sensitive to conventional hair dyes. I have not had a problem with this product. I would like to see, in the future, maybe dry shampoo, hair mascara to use in between colouring, as I cannot use any of the conventional products.”

Helpful Report

“Am absolutely astound at the quality of this product. So easy and enjoyable to use. Wonderful colour that covers greys flawlessly. Thank you so much ❤️”

Helpful Report

“Hair colour was so rich and natural looking. Easy to apply at home and loved that you supplied everything. It was a long process to first soften my colour resistant roots. Unfortunately for me it still didn’t colour well and I had patches of grey.”

Helpful Report

“Disappointing results from this product, I had to cut a huge matted piece of hair off after colouring. I have never experienced anything like it before after many years of dyeing my hair with store bought boxed kits.”

Helpful Report

Hi Elaine, So sorry you weren't happy with your colouring outcome. We have thousands of clients and have never had that feedback before. Not sure that is a colouring issue, and it definitely isn't anything we have heard of before. Please feel free to contact one of our colourists here if you would like some assistance: https://theshade.com.au/colourist/ Best Regards, Camilla The Shade

“Great quality product delivered to your door: it couldn't be any better!”
