“The Shade has been the BEST discovery!! I'm a single mum so the costs and time of getting my hair coloured at the salon were impossible to justify. I was a little nervous to try to DIY it but honestly, I'm happier with the results from The Shade than I was at the bank-breaking salon. My greys are fully covered, my hair looks shiny and feels soft and I'm convinced that the colour lasts longer too. Win win win!!! Thank you so much!!”

“I really like The Shade. Rich colour, good hold and great coverage for my greys at a very affordable price. And now with mix of colour, the duos are very handy. I’m a very happy customer. Have been using Verona for a while, that’s the colour on the photo. At the moment I’m using mahogany brown for a softer look but haven’t got the photo of that shade”

“Light Ash Blonde over bleached nearly white hair. Love the color very in fashion as in all shades of silver and Ash.”

“A fabulous experience from website interaction, colourist consultations, receiving order, easy application and the colour results. I had used henna colouring within the last two months prior to this application, but as the henna process was too cumbersome I needed a better option and one that wasn’t filled with toxic chemicals. The Shade easily coloured my hair including my regrowth of greys! Very impressed, definitely recommend and have already passed details onto several friends. Thank you!”

“Colour came quick, packaged very well with all the necessary tools and with easy to follow instructions. Coloured my hair last night with MONTECRISTO - LIGHT ASH BROWN and very happy with the end results. My greys are gone and my hair looks shiny. I might need to change my choice of colour next time as I had blonde at the ends and it has turned a bit green but overall very happy and would purchase again.”

“The best home colouring products I have ever used. Great long lasting colour. Highly recommend.”

“I’m so glad I tried this. I was hesitant at first because my last few home dye jobs had left my hair a mess (brassy/greenish) and I thought this might be no different but how wrong I was! It was really pleasant and easy to apply and there wasn’t the usual strong chemical smell you get with other brands. It rinsed out easily and left my hair silky. And the best part was the colour! I used Imola 7.3 and it was exactly what I was hoping for, like a dark caramel blonde, and so rich and shiny as well.”

“I’m totally converted to this brand! No itchy scalp, no strong smells and I love my colour! My hair felt beautiful after and it’s been 2 weeks and the colour is still great. I want to purchase also the shampoo and conditioner next as the smaller packs I used felt so healthy on my scalp and hair. Mine was Montecristo”

“The website is user-friendly and the product is wonderful. The colour at my hairdresser was not covering my stubborn grey hair but the colour from The Shade does a much better job and is a 5th of the price. I will not be going back to the hairdresser.”

“The consultation service was fantastic - prompt and excellent advice. The colour that was recommended for me was perfect! The instructions were clear and easy to understand, making the application process stress free. The end result was amazing! I highly recommend this service to anyone who wants to colour at home - besides the amazing advice and customer service, the prices are excellent!”

“First of all, came in really quickly. Was easy to apply, instructions were easy to follow. I ordered with the colour apply kit which made things simple. Colour itself was gentle on the hair and didn’t smell chemically. Happy with the results. Will order again.”
