“The colour is nice but I think next time I will go Medium Ash blonde instead of Dark Ash blonde, but overall it is a nice product to use”

“I was impressed with the quality of the colouring components themselves and the accompanying mixing kit and brush. End result was definitely a more consistent colour than box sets purchased in store.”

“Love their products, their customer service i could easily put on hold for a bit or change my colour selection, totally recommended.”

“I love The Shade; it's easy to use and my hair looks and feels great! I only wish I could bulk buy, which would reduce the environmental footprint by having less single-use packaging and less shipping.”

The Shade 4 star review on 27th December 2021

Hi Phannee, We're very glad to hear that you are happy with your colour, but sorry that your hair is feeling a bit dry. We recommend Tsubaki oil (100% pure Camellia Japonica oil) for dry hair. It suits all hair types and is brilliant for restoring strength, moisture, softness and shine to hair. It is a lightweight pure oil, which is easily absorbed by the hair and skin, and it is full of beneficial components such as oleic acid, proteins and glycerides. It is a deeply nourishing nutrient-rich oil that is free from fragrances, colourants, silicone and mineral oil. It is very helpful for dry hair (and it's my all-time favourite hair oil!).

“I love this product for my hair and face. It’s going to replace my Le Mer cream.”

“Oh my god so lovely it was done and no mess to clean up :) lovely colour too”

“I am very happy with how my hair colour turned out. Looks great and covered my greys and old colour perfectly. I was a bit disappointed that I sent a question in to the colourists and never got a reply, but I went ahead with colouring anyway and was happy with the result. Also, because I have very short hair, and because I read on The Shade's blog about using half a tube of colour and half a sachet of developer to cover greys, I did consider doing that but decided against it because I hadn't used the product before. When I squeezed out the colour, it was all pearlescent white except for the last two CM which were brown so now I'm not sure if it's actually advisable to use half a tube of colour, and half a sachet of developer, or if that would affect the result”

“I chose a shade lighter than previously used as I am 100% grey. Very pleased with the result and colour. Thank you. PS: Sorry I don't have a photo.”

“Thankyou for curing my lockdown mane! I have a lot of hair, thick & long so needed extra colouring creme for full coverage. Really happy with my first attempt, some skill required for the back though. Love the Golden Copper Blonde that highlights my natural red & covers my greys 👏 💫”

“Now that I have coloured my hair I feel I could go for a shade deeper than 7. Not 6 but a shade deeper. Any suggestions?”

“I have coarse hair with 70-80% grey. My daughter sent this to me whilst in lockdown. I’m really happy with the colour and it’s actually lasted for weeks! Normally with ‘supermarket colour’ I’m lucky if it lasts 2 -3 washes. Very happy”
