“I am so happy with how my hair turned out. The process was so easy, your consultation was great, quick delivery, fantastic product and accessories, easy to use and the conditioner! Oh my goodness!! Delicious! My hair is now sorted. Thanks again, I will be an avid user from now on :)”

“Excellent product! Came with SO many additional items to make the home hair colouring process far less painful, and far less messy! Colour came up really well, no nasty smells to hurt your nose, eyes or skin. Managed to make a single pack stretch through my long hair, so I also got double the value! Couldn't be happier.”

“So easy to apply! No head soreness or itching during or post colouring. The mahogany brown is vibrant and gives my hair a beautiful healthy luster!!!”

“I actually did not use the product, as I could not get support from a colourist after many attempts on the web site, email and phoning. I tried to explain that I have greyish white regrowth and have been having my hair colored professionally for years previously natural colour blonde and whether or not to use the bleach precolour wash to soften my very soft fine regrowth touchup.”

Hi Jenny, I'm sorry but I can't find any emails, or other communications from you. Our colourists are available 7 days a week here: https://theshade.com.au/colourist/ Please feel free to contact them here and they would be happy to assist. I hope this helps! The Shade team

“Received my shade colour package today. Bellaria 7.1. So happy how it turned out. It is the perfect colour and matches perfectly. I would recommend the shade to friends and family.”

“Sorry but I can’t leave a positive review for this product as I’m not happy with the end result - one week after application the colour has washed out in places ... I was hoping for atleast 3-4 weeks before it started to show regrowth - the fade is far too quick.”

Hi Stacey! Sorry to hear about your colour fade. It sounds as though you may have porous hair, which can lead to colour leakage and fade. Here's some more information about that and tips to reduce porosity. https://theshade.com.au/blogs/how-hair-porosity-affects-hair-colour/ https://theshade.com.au/blogs/ten-tips-to-reduce-porosity-in-your-colour/ I hope that helps and wishing you the best!

“I used the Bellagio colour and was seriously impressed. I have always gone into the salon for my colour so I was sceptical about home colouring but everything was provided and it was so quick, done at home without the hefty price tag. Converted!”

“I am so so glad I found The Shade! I really don't like going to the hairdressers to dye my hair, I find it so pricey and it's quite inconvenient for me to spend that time in the chair. However, I also don't like using box dye because it can be damaging to the hair, smells bad, and the colours on the package are often not reflective of how your hair is gonna turn out! The problem is I'd go to hair stores to try and buy salon quality colour but the staff always treated me like I didn't belong because I didn't know what I was doing, I didn't know what to buy and the whole process was unpleasant. Enter, The Shade. It was so easy to select my colour (with pics of people actually WEARING it!) plus the entire kit included EVERYTHING I needed: cape, bowl, brush, clips, mat. It was incredible. I dyed my hair, it came out SO SHINY, GORGEOUS, AND SOFT! My hair has never looked better. I am so so glad I found The Shade. Am recommending it to everyone!”

“I tried The Shade after seeing an add pop up in my news feed. Conveniently it was just days after I had to cancel my hairdresser appointment. I've tried a lot of "box" colours and they're always dull. The Shade colour is amazing with a lovely shine and the best part is there is no strong chemical smell. My hair is healthy and I'll definitely be using this product again. I chose Lucca Chocolate Blonde and I love the subtle red highlights through the dark blonde. The kit is complete with everything! Highly recommend.”

“Great value and good quality colour. Just what is needed for ‘fresh roots’ in these crazy times. Thanks. Will continue to subscribe to your wonderful service. 😊”

“Very happy with the results after using this product. I waited about a week before I posted a review to asses whether or not the dye would fade, but so far so good! I love the colour, and it was delivered on time. I will definitely be using this product again, and avoiding expensive salon visits!”

“Seriously, the BEST hair dye I’ve EVER purchased in my life !!!! My hair is baby soft, smells like springtime flowers and looks shiny and incredible. I LOVE the shade so much I’ve already told my mum, sister and friends to drop what they are doing and buy the shade it’s changed the way l look at hair dye and for someone with extremely fine hair that is falling out I was really worried about using hair dye but WOW I’ll never use any other hair dye ever again .... THANK YOU so much for making such an amazing product !!!”

“Nice and easy to apply. Love the colour, feel like my hair is not as dry as with other products”

Helpful Report

“Great product, non drip, no mess and I found that it rinsed out so much easier than my regular at home colour brand. The colour blended really well. In the past Ive had over processed areas particularly along my part. Not this time. My hair has never felt so good and the shine is amazing. Im looking forward to trying a few other shades. I used Verona.”

“I love the colour it's perfect, my skin is super sensitive and it didn't burn at all. The smell was pleasant, not at overpowering. I will be using this product from now on.”

“I was very happy with the equipment and instructions supplied. The colour is very natural and the conditioner really gave my hair an improved soft texture.”

“Obsessed! My hair was yellow, uneven and damaged. A free colour consult with The Shade recommended me the perfect colour. Couldn't be happier.”

“The Shade product came package really nicely with clear information. As promised no horrible smell and plenty of product to cover a full head of shoulder length hair, also good grey coverage. Would recommend and use again.”
