“Really happy with the kit, colour came out lovely. Really easy to use and made it fun at home!!”

Helpful Report

“I am so beyond happy with your product. My first purchase was a perfect colour match and ive used it 4-5 times since. I use your semi-permanent colour and honestly i love how long it lasts me and how beautiful it looks as it slowly fades out. It still gives me reasonable grey coverage and it leaves my hair feeling very healthy and smooth. Also i love how everything is included in your colour kits. It's no fuss and easy to use. Thank you”

“I enjoy receiving my shade in the mail, automatically every 6 weeks, I like that I get a heads up and can move the subscription date as needed. The product has no frills or unnecessary expense, just good stuff! Seems to cover my greys pretty well!”

“Obsessed with VENETTO toner. 3rd year hairdresser who does my own scalp bleaches , have used and mixed so many various high end toner brands to try achieve this colour with no success . None of them diminish the brassiness of the scalp bleach regrowth . VENETTO THE SHADE 10/10 removes the brassy yellow and deposits a glossy perfect shade”

“Was a little hesitant ordering hair dye on the internet. I first contacted the Shade about what I wanted and they suggested what I got. After a few weeks now the colour is still amazing and still no signs of fading. Im very happy with what I go.”

“My first time using colour products. Loved the ability to chat to a colourist for advice. The colour I purchased is perfect and covered grey with stronger developer. Hair is very soft after colour also. Definitely recommend and will continue to use. Tania”

“I ordered Montechristo Light Ash brown as i wanted to ensure i didnt add any warmth as my hair throws brassy tones. It is darker than i eventually want but it has given me a solid colour base and removed the brass i had. I look forward to cinnecting with a colourist to change my next colour. My hair feels very healthy and shiny.”

“I was looking for an alternative to hair colouring products aside from noxious off the shelf varieties and other "subscribe" home colouring services that focus more on product than glossy marketing/spamming and came across The Shade. It's getting pretty desparate in this economy and I took a punt and was cautiously optimistic. I was really impressed with the shade range, particularly in the darker shades as it gets really problematic when greys with darker tones tend to get "brassy". Picked Salento and not only did the darkest ash brown match my natural hair colour, it covered greys IMPRESSIVELY but not only that, it absolutely did not irritate my scalp nor exacerbate my PSORIASIS!!! I saw my regular hairdresser a couple of days after I coloured my hair and she was genuinely impressed and wondered why my hair was "so soft" - I didn't even crack open the mask or other hair treatments and only used the conditioner and left it on for almost an hour with the heat cap on!! This is NOT a paid review - I spent over $170 (!!!) getting the tools, heat cap, a few lots of colour, hair oil, mask and a couple of protein treatments to take advantage of the discount with the first order. Customer service was also super responsive when one of the oilsl sachets leaked in a box of colour and sent out two replacements, no muss no fuss!”

“Love the colour, lasts ages , no irritation.”

Helpful Report

“I’ve tried so many at-home hair dyes over the years, and The Shade is honestly the only one that consistently works for my hair. The quality is noticeably better than typical box dye — my hair feels soft, healthy, and conditioned after coloring, not dry or damaged. The Shade the color stays vibrant and true for weeks. I don’t get that brassy, washed-out look that usually shows up way too soon. Because of this, I don’t have to visit a salon every 6–8 weeks anymore. I can maintain my color at home and still feel confident with how it looks. It’s saved me time, money, and a lot of frustration — and I genuinely wouldn’t use anything else now.”

“Really happy with 6.1 Montecristo light ash brown, I used 27 developer and it covered my greys. The Shade colours all seem quite multidimensional i.e. keep any highlights. I remember using supermarket box dyes back in the day and they always came out so solid, these colours are way better. Also impressed with the cool colouring of this - actually comes out with no/extremely minimal red tones!”
