My colour arrived with its complimentary bowl, application brush & shoulder cape. The ingredients mixed & applied easily (I do would prefer a bottle applicator though) & the colour result was exactly as pictured. No allergic reaction or bad chemical smell.

Love the auto delivery that takes hassle off my shopping. Lovely smell, not toxic. Doesn’t hurt my scalp and today I even left it for 50 minutes and the results are amazing 🤩 I’m trying now different shade to see how this one will work with my grey hair that are started to coming out. I have extra long hair and thought that I’d need extra sachets but one was enough. Thank you. I’m your forever fan

I was hoping this colour would add a touch of blonde (my original colour) to my almost white hair. Instead it came out a dull iron grey colour. Unfortunately not satisfactory.

I absolutely love this product. In the past I've had reactions to hair colours but this product is fabulous no reactions. Covers greys and makes my hair look and feel healthy

Honestly the best at home hair colour I've ever used. No horrible smell, and so easy to apply. The colour is incredible, like going to a salon at a fraction of the price. I've had so many compliments on the colour and tone. The virgin/grey hair coverage at the roots is amazing - No weird 2 tone look like supermarket dye. I will not buy another brand ever again. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

The product it's self is ok ,it hasn't worked very well for my hair ,I tried to bleach part of my hair I left it in for 40 min but it only worked on some parts I has red in my hair which gave me a copper colour . I just ended up covering it with the colour they sent me which wasn't enough to cover all of my hair . This just hasn't worked out for me .

With The Shade I had at-home hair colouring experience with professional-grade results! I am happy that this hair colour is free from ammonia, PPD, parabens, and phthalates, making it a gentler option for my sensitive scalp and definitely better for my hair. They look great and have increadible colour. It s really aesy to apply, although I ve got long hair and do it by myself and always I get perfect results. I rally love it!

I had always gone to the hairdresser but the color they used burnt my scalp. Since using THE SHADE my hair is healthier and when i colored my hair my scalp didn’t hurt. Easy application highly recommend. I went and had a haircut and the hairdresser loved the color

I was really hoping this would be a game changer for me as I've recently become allergic to what's in normal dye products & reading everything in this is natural.However the next day my head became extremely itchy & irritable the same as other dye products.Smells great & good coverage but not long lasting & I covered it perfectly.Sad it didn't work for me as I was really hoping this would be it :(

I was really impressed with my colour and how my hair feels afterwards. I could never go back to shop brought again after using it only once. Highly recommend to any one else that are thinking of changing.

I got so sick of spending hundreds of dollars in the salon, I used to always dye my hair when I was younger using those cheap box dyes. These are so much better than that. I have tried a few different colours and have loved every one. It is so easy, and love that everything comes in the box for you. Also that you can sign up for a membership and get it shipped to you as often as you like. Fantastic products! Highly recommend x

I recommenced dyeing my hair this year at 65 - after going grey at 56. I started using products that reflected what was important to me - no nasties in their products - not tested on animals and a great range of colours. All the colours that I initially tried from other companies produced very flat colours that dried my hair so much that it felt like straw. And then recently I was very lucky to find ‘The Shade’ and their products have given me great colour - and colours I can mix and match - and they are an ethical company with no nasties in their products across their whole range. I also love that you can purchase permanent colours with different volumes of developer with the 27 volume developer catering to more resistant grey hair - such as mine! And their customer service is fantastic! My whole experience of The Shade as a company and with their range of products is as close to a salon as possible with so many variations of colour and care available to you. The Shade is nothing like my usual experience of buying a box of colour tint in a shop or online - I am loving my new hair colour and the condition of my hair.
