“Since using The Shade I no longer suffer from scalp issues such as rashes, burning or itchy scalp. At my age, 70, I need to colour the roots frequently which wasn't possible with other products due to my scalp sensitivity. I love the colour, dark ash, and find it soft and flattering and a good transition from the darker shades I used to use. I don't wish to add a photo but thanks for your lovely product.”

“I was nervous about coloring my hair because the last time I dyed my hair I went with a permanent color which I didn’t love and it took 3 horrible years to grow out! I contacted The Shade colorists who listened to my concerns & goals and recommended I try a demi (10 vol) with Trento 5.1 and I couldn’t be happier - my hair is soft, glossy & the greys are beautifully blended! I’d highly recommend The Shade to everyone wanting to color their hair!”

“It's been many years since I've coloured my own hair but after tiring of the amount of time and money I was spending on salon colours I decided to give The Shade a go. I'm so glad I did! Living in a regional area means it's extra convenient having it delivered so smoothly and well packaged. Receiving a full kit with bowl, brush, clips, cape and decent quality gloves even made it a fun self-care experience. I followed the personalised colour advice from The Shade expert and was delighted with the colour results and truly satisfying grey coverage, a major issue for me. Highly recommend giving it a try. A bonus was the lack of strong chemical smell and my hair being in super soft condition afterwards. I'm saving a lot of money and feeling very confident in my hair colour again!”

“It is such a good system, no rushing to the supermarket late at night to try and buy some due to match your hair, it’s always there with the auto ship system and the quality of the product is outstanding, I have quite a few greys and the coverage is great and it looks like I have highlights. Highly recommend as the pack has everything you need with minimal waste.”

“Absolutely loved the shade and covered pretty much all the grey but have found a couple of strays. I used the stringer developer too.”

“Wow wow wow!!! I’ve entered a stage in my life where I’m not ready for all the grey hair I’ve developed so quickly. I’ve also noticed that my hair that hasn’t turned grey yet, has lightened. I didn’t want to try every dye under the sun to find the right dye and I was scared that the dyes wouldn’t colour my greys or tint it the wrong colour so you can tell that’s where my greys are (I’ve seen it on others). Thanks to all the reviews on this product, I chose ‘The Shade’. It was the best decision made and I had dyed my hair the day before going to the hairdresser. My hairdresser was so impressed and said that my hair colour looked so natural and it didn’t look like I had dyed it myself. She said there a couple of areas that were a bit light but she couldn’t fault the dye at all. I wish I had taken photos of the before and after. But I can say that this dye gave me confidence back and I will continue using this product for the rest of my days! Thanks so much team!!!”

“I was purchasing hair colour from my local chemist which was a chestnut brown, wasn’t a huge fan of the red tone that would show through. BUT then I came across THE SHADE! I was wanting to go back to an ash brown, so I spoke with the hair specialist that suggested the Trento 4.1 ash brown. I was so happy with the result! It removed the red tone that was coming through from the chestnut brown and gave me a natural ash brown colour. My hair has felt so smooth, and was left so shiny. I’ve been using the shampoo and conditioner also which leaves my hair feeling smooth, soft and healthy. My ends were brittle and this hair colour and their treatments have helped my hair so much! I highly recommend this company, they will not disappoint! I will continue to buy my hair colour through The shade! I was so happy with the product that I recommended it straight away to friends and family.”

“Have tried a few colours now trying to find my shade. All of excellent quality and ease of use. I am using the shampoo and conditioner and tried the vit C product which was fun to use. I like that we can ask questions and get easy to understand answers.”

“I bought the Bellagio dark ash blonde colour package. This is by far the best hair colour I have ever purchased!! Everything you need is supplied including cape, mixing bowl, brush and gloves!! The colour attached to my grey perfectly and fully covered it. Looks great and am glad it’s on auto order every month so I can refresh my colour in my own time. The shampoo and conditioner smell and feel divine and would love to buy a bottle of both! Communication from the Shade consultants is impeccable!! A stand out and benchmark for all businesses that truely care about their customers. Lots of in-depth suggestions for what colour I wanted to achieve and when I changed my kind and wanted a slightly darker option I was met with another in-depth email!! Love the thorough details and recommendations!! This is a must buy if you want salon quality colour at home in your time!! Don’t hesitate, my hair feel is so healthy and it’s been a month already!! Just now starting to wear out but greys are still covered!!”

“I am so impressed with The Shade hair dye! The color was absolutely spot on—exactly what I was hoping for. It’s the only dye I’ve used that doesn’t bring out those unwanted red or orange tones in my hair, which is a total game-changer! The formula left my hair feeling healthy, vibrant, and beautifully even. If you’re looking for true-to-tone, salon-quality color, this is it! Highly recommend!”

“I love how easy it was to apply the hair color, and I was very impressed that it didn't have that toxic smell that most chemical products have. This made the process much more pleasant. The shine in my hair is amazing. I 100% recommend Shade products!”
