“4.1 dark ash brown. Soo soo happy with the results. First time using this brand and I’ll definitely be ordering again. Greys all gone and it has left my hair feeling so soft and shiny! Beyond happy with the results and even happier with how much this system cost me! Thank you shade!”

“I've been waiting for a product like this! Professional and consistent results at home. I'm in love with my new colour 😍”

“I love it. Really convenient, good price, smells lovely and doesn't make a huge mess on my skin the way shop box dyes do. I used Siena brown (5) and it was a lovely shade over my baylayage, I am really happy with it.”

“Absolutely loving the colour I currently chose from this brand, so vibrant and I get so many comments from friends and family! Best of all, noticed improvement in my hair texture, more softer and the fact there aren't any harmful ingredients in it as I have a sensitive scalp. Love love love!”

“I really recommend The Shade. Camilla was so helpful in helping me choose the right colour and she answered my queries very promptly. The application was easy, and I was happy with the colour overall, however, next time I think I'll try mixing in some more ash tones. I will speak to Camilla more about this. I'm also using the Tsubaki oil recommended. Hopefully that will start to make a change to my dry ends soon!”

“Love The Shade. I just can't afford to go to the hairdresser anymore to dye my greys and I was using box dyes from the supermarket that were terrible. Someone recommended The Shade and it is amazing. The first shade I ordered wasn't quite right and contacted customer service and they were great at recommending mixing two shades and I have been using these two together and it's perfect - salon quality for the same price as the supermarket box dyes - LOVE IT”

“Home dye kits from the supermarket or chemist would always leave my colour looking brassy and the ends my hair with colour build-up & damage. The kit I receive through The Shade, completed with the method outlined in the instructions leaves me with a natural look without having to spend hundreds at a hairdresser & my hair is so healthy & shiny. Seriously, do yourself a favour, set up a subscription!”

“I was sceptical and nervous but the grey coverage is amazing, the skin sensitivity is fabulous (that is, my usually very sensitive scalp is coping superbly) and the colour recommendation suits me well enough that I’ve received compliments 😊”

“This is super easy to mix and apply. My greys are very tenacious, and they do show through quickly. I have dark brown hair, and my grey is super shiny silver (looks like a christmas tree shed on me). A previous hairdresser put a red tint in my hair and it has been impossible to get out. So I got the Ash shade 5.1. It's lovely, and some of the warm colour still shows through. It's not a matte colour and looks very natural. I experienced zero itching or burning (prone to it). Very impressed. I only needed one application for my hair. I put it through all of my hair as I wanted the colour to blend. This picture was taken two weeks after colouring, and it's still beautiful. Doesn't fade, and is very shiny and healthy. And it smells nice! I also got the application kit - it's very useful. If I could make a couple of suggestions on that - the clips are not very strong and my hair kept falling out of them, and the brush could be a bit wider. very glad I found this product and have been recommending it to all my friends!”

“Love this hair colour so much, I used “dark brown” and the accuracy of the colour and the ease of application was perfect. Will definitely be purchasing again.”

“Love getting my delivery and dying my own hair. So much cheaper than a salon and my hairdresser loves it and says my hair is so healthy”

“I absolutely love the shade. Any advice I need is always responded to quickly 😊 I will never go back to a salon so the shade is stuck with me!! I love my colour and all the amazing products ❤️”

“Really happy with the results I achieved with the shade Colour kit. I have a balayage type Colour and had some pesky greys that I wanted to cover. I used shade ash brown and applied Colour to the roots and combed it through slightly to blend with my natural Colour. Greys are gone and my hair feels great, soft and bouncy. Such an awesome product to use between salon visits but I must say I’m loving the top Colour and very tempted to go dark all over. Thank you The Shade for a great salon quality product at a tiny fraction of what I’d usually pay at a salon. 👌”

“I'm 64 and because of neck issues I can't visit the hairdressers anymore I was going very grey and wasn't happy with the grey because I've always been blonde with highlights So I was googling to find something that was natural and wouldn't damage my hair and came across The Shade , I'm so glad I did I've tried different blondes and has to switch them around a bit and also used the highlights Overall I'm very happy with the color and the fact that my hair isn't getting damaged Thankyou The Shade 💕”

“The Shade is the ONLY hair colour I use now. Not only are there many colours to choose from and lots of advice available, but it is a much more natural product than most others on the market. It’s a great price and their customer service is fantastic! My hair always looks and feels clean and shiny afterward. Thank you, The Shade!”
