“Love, love, love The Shade. Been using The Shade for close to a year after years and years off cheap/toxic boxed dyes and can honestly say I’ve seen such a huge improvement in my hair. I will never go back, subscription for life 🩷”

“Order arrived without any issues. Impressed with the kit and the overall colour, my hair was so soft and shiny after using the conditioner. I was comparing the colour to see how long it lasted verus my usual off the shelf box colour. To be honest it hasn't lasted any longer. I will however order one shade darker as I think initally the colour was great be it faded too light a colour. To be continued......”

“I always buy this colour (darkest Brown). Its long lasting, has great coverage and always makes my hair shiny and soft. I didn't have many greys, but it covered them up really well.”

“I seriously love this website! The colours, everything. It’s so quick and easy to do your own hair at home. Being able to speak to a colourist when you need and it gets shipped right to your door as often as you want. I’ll never go to a salon again at this rate!”

“Mixed 2 colours, 8.1 Ash Blonde & 901 Lightest Ash Blonde, very happy with the result.”

“Very impressed. Colour and developer was a thick creamy consistency so did not drip everywhere. Grey coverage perfect. Colour so bright and glossy. My hair feels soft and manageable, not dry as with previous hair dyes. Looking forward to see how long colour stays vibrant. Very happy with this product.”

“I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Camilla for your help and colourist advice for my hair colour. Over the past 12months (for reasons unknown) previous at home hair colours were coming out uneven, often patchy and clinging to certain areas of my hair, not just the roots. A couple of months ago I had my hair coloured by a hair dresser, in an attempt to have an all over colour (successfully) done by a professional, but had the exact same thing happen. It made me realise that it wasn't my technique or even colour/brand etc. but my hair. After emailing Camilla and using her suggestion I made my first purchase with The Shade and coloured my hair. I am so happy with the result! The colour is just what I was after and it appears even, something that has eluded me for over 12months! I will not use another colour system again! Due to the shortness of my hair I was able to use only half which means I can get two colours from one purchase! I have my sons year 12 formal coming up and was dreading what to do with my hair. I'm so glad I discovered The Shade which has given me confidence back (in now having multi-coloured hair- unintentionally). My hair is a little damaged from previous lightening (which was done after the issues of my inconsistent colouring, so isn't to blame for that) so now I will focus on trying to get it much healthier.”

“Colour was beautiful, I don’t like that you have to apply to dry hair I don’t feel like it distributes as well on dry hair but overall the colour was really nice and lasted! No irritation or itch or bad smell was very easy to use x”

“Love this product, does what it advertises and some. I get lots of compliments. I've been letting everyone I come in contact with who asks about my hair know who THE SHADE is, alot of people haven't heard of your company yet in New Zealand.”

“I’ve been using The Shade for a couple of years now. I love the chemical free products that promote hair health. Its great using the 27 Vol with my colour for a little extra coverage with stubborn greys. Being able to manage subscriptions and colour choices are helpful. The team are supportive and informative with advice on achieving your best results at home xox”

“Not the colour that I thought it would be it turned red instead of the brown I wanted but still like the quality of it”

Helpful Report

“The product arrived quickly and ordering was fairly straightforward. This was the first time I had dyed my hair and although I went through the consultation process the end colour was not any lighter than what I originally had (although was intended to be two shades lighter) but has a strange slightly yellow tinge.”

“Awesome products, same colour every time. I can always trust I’ll get a good even colour.”

“Trust the advice of the colourist. I have been a long user of commercial professional dyes, so my challenge was remove the brassy warmth and gold tones out of my hair without having to go to a salon for advice. The advice on the 6.1 and 7.1 duo was spot on. Worked a treat to cover my white white roots and am super happy with my shade.”

“I had one of the best colours so far on the first week of colouring. However, on the second week my hair was back to how it was- grays were back and hair was super dry although I followed the colourist's advice and all. If you tell me where I got it wrong, I am willing to give it another go because I like the natural ingredients used. Thank you!”
