“I’ve been box dying my hair for years and my sister in-law recommended trying the shade and I haven’t looked back. I love that it gets delivered to my door step and the product doesn’t smell toxic or leave my hair feeling dry and damaged.”

“Great colours, my hair feels lovely, it's not dry, and although I chose a slightly darker colour, they are so convenient and easy to apply”

“20/09/20... I had quite a bit of grey coming through ( as you can imagine from being in lockdown) so I followed your instructions to a tee ... although I received it quite quickly I didn’t actually put it in until 3 days ago ! Firstly I have to say the packaging was beautifully presented, I almost didn’t want to ruin it ! But I’m Very glad I did as I have a notoriously sensitive scalp ... there was not even a tingle ! Thrilled ! The shampoo was so lovely that I didn’t want to rinse it out ! I am very happy with the result and also the colour .... I will send a photo of me waiting while the colour developed, very exciting!!!!”

“I LOVE THE SHADE!! I have had grey hair coming through since I turned 28. It is all at the front around my face so it is so obvious. I have used a variety of home hair colour kits from the supermarkets and chemists and some have worked for maybe 2 weeks and then the grey seems to come back really quickly. Others had not worked at all and after colouring, the grey was still there and didn't even look as though I had coloured my hair at all. The only way around it had been a hairdresser which would cost anything from about $60-$120. So I rarely did that. Now I have tried The Shade there is no going back. My greys are usually resistant but I have found that if I leave it on for an extra 10 mins it works perfectly. As you can see by the photo there is not a grey hair in sight and I dyed my hair a couple of weeks ago and it is still looking great. Thankyou The Shade for saving me money and my sanity :-)”

“This was my first time doing a home dye so I was a bit nervous at what the result could be. I have really enjoyed the whole process of my purchase, from the easy to follow website that offered me a free trial for an Ammonia & Paraben free product - to then receiving such a wonderful starter kit with everything that I needed including instructions. It was easier than I expected to do the application, smells amazing, and I am really happy with the result, so much so that I think I will now be home dying instead of going to the hairdressers (which is going to save me some money). I will be telling my friends about this product as I can feel that there is a genuine care for customers and quality products.”

“Best home kit Ive ever used. I was going to stop dyeing my hair and let it go grey as coverage wasn't lasting and my hair wasn't coping with the chemicals. I decided to try the shades free trial and I couldn't be happier. Friends commented that my hair looked like it did in high school and I had to agree! No yucky chemical after smell and the product portions are generous. I am so glad to have discovered this, my hair is loving the results and Im getting salon coverage at home and for the fraction of the price! Best colour shade Ive ever used to.”

“The colour is perfect and application is so easy. The kit provided has everything you need to apply the colour with ease. The colour is vibrant and covers greys well. So glad I found this, no more box colour! Very happy!”

“I waited with anticipation for my new toxins free colour. Once I received it I couldn’t wait to try it out and the results are amazing! My hair is shiny, the colour is perfect and vibrant, just as I wanted it to be! The entire process was easy from the colour consultation which was very helpful and highly professional to having the perfect desired results! I am very happy I found this product and will never go back! Thank you! You’ve got yourself a customer for life! Mirta”

“Fabulous result, I was so nervous about using a product myself on top of previously dyed hair and with 'grey' regrowth. But perfect result and no harsh effects on my hair. And the amount of product is very generous, so much more than I expected.”

Helpful Report

“I love that my colour doesn't go yellow and is consistently fresh and the colour I expect. My hair feels healthier and softer and easier to manage thank you the shade”
