“I am so impressed with this product. It's the second time Ive used it and absolutely love the results. Id highly recommend it. My hair is soft & shiny & I love the colour.”

“I’ve been using colour from The Shade for over a year now. I like that I can have it delivered ready for when I need it and the colour is always consistent and good at covering my early greys. As feedback, I would love it if there was an offering in the membership subscription to order 3 months at a time and remove the shipping fee as this significantly adds to the monthly cost.”

“Unfortunately I had a bad reaction to the hair dye when doing a patch test. I really had hoped this would work for me after reading the other reviews but sadly this dye is not for me.”

“Hi I am very happy with my colour Ash Brown 5.1 however, I think I have ordered too many for six months worth and would be happy if you suspended any more orders until I notify you when I have finished them. This would be really appreciated. Thank you Margaret Thew”

“So much easier than going the hairdresser and the result is just as good! Perfect grey coverage and the colour is exactly what I wanted. I’ll definitely be using this from now on.”

“I'm beyond pleased! The products are amazing quality. I have been able to do my own highlights and root melt, saving me around $300!! I used dark Ash blonde in the roots and lightest ash blonde through as highlights. The condition of my hair is so soft, and it was so easy with their step by step instructions, I'm never going to a hairdresser again! I have had a few people compliment my hair and ask where I get it done!!”

“First time using Shade, love the colour and it lasts for weeks. So happy and will be ordering again soon”

“Kit was well packaged and had everything required. However, colour did not cover any greys at all so disappointed with product itself.”

Helpful Report

“I haven't yet used the colour as I'm not due to do this for another 3 weeks. But I do want to say just how fabulous the service has been to date. I have had a few queries as I am a first time The Shade user and each time my queries were answered promptly. Camilla has been very helpful in suggesting a duo colour which I can't wait to try and Marco has also been really helpful with my questions. Shipping to NZ only took a week. I can't wait to try the colour and will hopefully be able to comment on this then. Awesome company to deal with.”

“I used a medium copper brown shade and left it on for 40 minutes for full grey coverage. I found the kit convenient and easy to use and I'm very pleased with the results!”

“I have been using supermarket box colour and the coverage with Shade was better on my grey roots. Will use again. Also no sufocating from fumes.”

“I love the ease of 'The Shade. It just arrives without me needing to think about it, and when I have that moment of free time, between kids, husband, job and housework, I reach to the cupboard and violia ... it's there! I love the colour I chose, and it works well with (what used to be) my natural colour, and it covers those grey hairs perfectly. It's easy to use, and it makes my hair feel healthy afterwards.”

Helpful Report

“This colour was amazing. It has put the shine back into my hair. All the little extras that are included makes it feel like you are in the salon at home.”

“The colour quality is really good! It does dry my hair out a bit but I would expect that being 61 😊 So much better than supermarket products. So glad I found you guys x”

“I love the advice given my the colourist. I decided to try demi permanent, as sick of the marked line when greys showing through. Love the results. Mixed the dark mahogany with some light ash brown I am trying to use up. Loved the results! Thanks!”
