“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.”

“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!”

“Really happy with this product! The hair colour is really good quality, will be doing my colour at home from now on! I mixed half and half of Palermo & Paola. Excited to try some more colours!”

“The best way to colour hair! At home, with a glass of wine and movie going in the background. It was so easy, especially if you make sure your first purchase has all the required accessories. The colour aid on the website was so accurate and I ended up with the result I was after! Ps. The shampoo and conditioner is going to be added to my next cart!”

“I’m in love with this! I’m so over spending a fortune at the salon when I can just do it myself with the help of The Shade! The kit came with everything I needed and the colour was perfect.”

“Great colour that matched exactly what I chose, full of rich tones and was easy to use. Very happy with the smell of the hair dye as it didn’t have any bad chemical smells like other home dyes I’ve used before. Not quiet settled on this colour, so am really looking forward to my next shipment to see if that colour is more suited to what I’m after.”

“Absolutely stunning colour, just what I wanted. Never again will I use anything else. I'm so happy and knowing I'm not using harmful chemicals is even better.”

“I started with a semi after consultation as I wasn’t sure if the red was going to be what I was hoping for, but all round it’s been amazing. Smells lovely, and the colour is almost exactly what I was looking for. Will try the permanent next time.”
