Love my subscription, the easy to use kit, all the extra info and tips on the website (take the time to read I’ve learnt heaps of tips, like using foil on stubborn greys etc). Colour is great and results better than box colour from supermarket (smells so much less toxic too). Colour remover wipes and barrier oil is very helpful. I would love to be able to have my subscription timed for every 3 weeks rather than 4, which is my only feedback for improvement.

I have four. It really hard over the years to cover all my stubborn greys especially around my forehead and baby hairs. The shade has been fantastic! First time use, smells great and even coverage and thorough. Keen to see how long it lasts and also next time would like the shade to be lighter.

Being an x hairdresser I was hoping that this will be a better option & less expensive. I’m very impressed! Will order again for myself & my sister. Thank you!!

Its amazing my hair looks so beautiful after i used it. Also im amazed how the product didn’t react on my scalp no colour on skin like the one i bought on regular store. I will definitely 💯 continue using shade.

I have been using the Shade for a few years now and find it is the best on my hair. I use the Semi permanent and find its perfect along with their shampoo and conditioner. Their quality of colour is just like a salon! , so I am happy to stick with the shade. :)

I have been very happy with my hair colour from The Shade. The chemicals don’t harm my scalp & I only use mid brown again when I can see the white roots coming through. My hair always looks shiny too.

Most defenitely reccomend. The colour i bought (darkest brown) turned out great. Got the results i wanted and were identical to the picture. Shipping was fast and purchase was defenitely worth it.

It actually covered my greys. Very impressed

Wonderful product, great quality and great results. My small bit of feedback is that I wasted so much of the dye and lightening. It would be great if you had instructions or smaller packs for those that only need 6 to 12 foils rather than half a head and the same goes for the dye. It would be good if you had instructions on how to ration and store after opened. Also, none of my boxes came with barrier oil or remover and there were no notes to explain why. I am hoping I get some sent as I ordered about 6 months worth of product all without this.

My original hair has bleached 3/4 head foils, it's pretty light but with some warmth (picture with rough straightened hair). The toner I usually buy from Priceline and also blonde shampoo tends to give a blue/dull look, so I was looking for a beige toner to try. The colourist recommended Taranto 9.2 Light Beige Blonde. I followed the instructions and left it on for the maximum recommended time. The next morning it looked pretty dark (picture with curly hair). The FAQ's said the colour can go a bit dark if your hair condition isn't that good. My hair is a bit dry, but not too bad I wouldn't think. After one wash it lightened further (picture with blow dried hair), and it has since lightened further with more washes. You can still see the highlights, and the tone is a creamy blonde. I think the 902 Catania Lightest Beige Blonde would have been better, however this colour wasn't in stock. I also would leave it on for less time. And finally, the product size for short hair was quite generous for my hair length, so I ended up really saturating my hair (and maybe I used too much product?). Next time I might try ordering the larger size, and splitting it over two treatments. All in all, it was good to try. I would suggest not doing it the day before an event (in case you need a few washes to bring the colour down).

This product is great. Im not longer spending over $200 at a salon now ive found the shade.

I have lived in the NT for over 10 years now and constantly my colour has been fading to brassy tones after 2 washes. I had been told it is due to me taking berocca tablets (1 tablet not even daily). After trying your product all I can say is wow. I took my time writing a review as I wanted to test my colour fading. And to my surprise after 6 weeks my colour has not faded at all and especially no brassy red. Thank you and please don't change your product.
