“The best way to colour hair! At home, with a glass of wine and movie going in the background. It was so easy, especially if you make sure your first purchase has all the required accessories. The colour aid on the website was so accurate and I ended up with the result I was after! Ps. The shampoo and conditioner is going to be added to my next cart!”

“Love the colour! I love that it’s a semi as I have no greys. Easy to refresh my colour with good quality dye.”

“I’m in love with this! I’m so over spending a fortune at the salon when I can just do it myself with the help of The Shade! The kit came with everything I needed and the colour was perfect.”

“Great colour that matched exactly what I chose, full of rich tones and was easy to use. Very happy with the smell of the hair dye as it didn’t have any bad chemical smells like other home dyes I’ve used before. Not quiet settled on this colour, so am really looking forward to my next shipment to see if that colour is more suited to what I’m after.”

“Absolutely stunning colour, just what I wanted. Never again will I use anything else. I'm so happy and knowing I'm not using harmful chemicals is even better.”

“I started with a semi after consultation as I wasn’t sure if the red was going to be what I was hoping for, but all round it’s been amazing. Smells lovely, and the colour is almost exactly what I was looking for. Will try the permanent next time.”

“I loved my first experience using The Shade. The kit had everything I needed, instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Just had to change the developer for my next order from 10 vol to higher as it didn’t cover the greys but my hair was super soft and looked beautiful after colouring! Can’t wait for the next delivery! Thankyou!!”

“I had recently used another brand colour with little support and 2 disappointing results. I then encountered Camilla from the Shade who went above and beyond with her expert advice and assistance. She advised to bleach wash my hair prior to colouring as I needed a lighter colour. Am delighted with the results. All instructions were clear and Camilla replied promptly to all my queries. I highly recommend”

“I am in love with The Shade! I ordered the Palermo - Copper Golden Blonde to mix with the Napoli - Dark Blonde thanks to my consultant and it was the perfect colour. The rich colours lasted for months (which is not often with reds). I highly recommend their products.”

“Like most people I'm sure, I was very apprehensive about purchasing an at-home hair-dying kit, especially online. However, I just cannot justify spending hundreds of dollars at the hairdresser when I am only getting an all-over colour. I have naturally auburn hair (now with a few sparkles) and I purchased the Copper Golden Blonde. The colour was spot on as you can see in the picture. The application was not too difficult and there was plenty of product. I will be sticking with The Shade, however, I'm not sure I will need to colour my hair every 4 weeks so might change to ad-hoc ordering. I would recommend this product.”

“Game changer! I've been going to a green salon for the last few months in an attempt to reduce my toxic load but their product had very poor grey coverage and the upkeep cost was phenomenally high. I tried The Shade on a whim and was so pleasantly surprised by the gentleness of the formula. Barely any scent, no irritants but powerful results on the greys. I played it safe and got a shade lighter than what I believed to be my own and it was almost a perfect match. So grateful for this service as I believe it'll save me hundreds of dollars a year as well as put the power and confidence back in my hands to DIY my hair colour.”
