“The customer service was exceptional. The product itself I’m not that happy with, followed instructions & time frames and the colour was not as intense as shown on their product image. Within a week the colour has faded, particularly the roots.”

Helpful Report

Hi Kathy, Sorry to hear that your colour faded. Our colour does not typically fade within one week. If your colour has faded so quickly, that indicates that your hair is porous (the outer cuticle of the hair is raised) which causes the colour to leak and fade. Our colourists can provide you with individual advice to boost colour absorption and retention so please contact them directly here: https://theshade.com.au/colourist/ I hope this helps!

“Good quality product which is easy to apply. Colour was more reddish than the photos but overall very happy customer 😊 will definitely keep using your product. Love the conditioner and it smells so nice, wished the shampoo had a similar smell.”

“I could not hope for a better outcome could; I was worried about the colour being in a block but it worked beautifully with highlights throughout. It is liberating to have the option of hair colour at home and especially convenient during lockdown.”

“I have been using the shade for more than a year now. I am very pleased with my colouring.It blends in with my natural hair colour and covers 100% of my grey hair.The colour lasts for more than five weeks.I stopped making appointments with my hairdresser since the shade came along.”

“I was looking for a professional DIY solution to dye my roots get during the lockdown and came across The Shade. Based on the positive reviews and feedback I decided to try it. I provided photos and the colours of my salon colours and received advice. Unfortunately I am not happy with the result (it's way too dark).”

Hi Athena, Sorry you weren't happy with your colour result! We are happy to provide a lighter colour and advice on how to achieve a lighter colour level. Please contact one of our colourists here: https://theshade.com.au/colourist/ I hope this helps! The Shade team

“I have coarse hair with 70-80% grey. My daughter sent this to me whilst in lockdown. I’m really happy with the colour and it’s actually lasted for weeks! Normally with ‘supermarket colour’ I’m lucky if it lasts 2 -3 washes. Very happy”

“A must for anyone who colors their hair,the shade leaves you with soft ever so shiny hair it never drips making application easy to apply, i love it.”

“I've been coloring my own hair at home for some time although I have never been completely happy with the colour choice available. Now that I have discovered The Shade and their wonderful colour range I am super happy with my results.”

“You will have to take my word for it as I have no before photos, but thanks to The Shade Colourist service I am now sporting a beautiful natural looking head of hair. Camilla suggested a duo of Lucca Chocolate Blonde 7.53 and Torino Golden Blonde 8.3 for my dark brown hair. The duo of colours was easy to prepare and apply and the shampoo and conditioner lovely to use. My greys are gone and the three month old bleached out highlights are now blending in with my base colour while still maintaining a lighter tone. Overall I am very happy with the results and would recommend The Shade to any nervous first timers!”

“I like the colour of my hair now. It looks very natural.”

“So loving "The Shade" - I was a little dubious at first having had some hair colouring disasters in the past but I'm so glad I tried this! My hair has so much red in it that home colouring can be dangerous - but The Shade stayed relatively true to the colour chart. It was a little red after I first coloured, but that's faded now to a gorgeous shade that people say looks better than the professional colours I was getting! I also found that this colour didn't make my scalp itchy like others have. This is a quality product at a great price - will keep buying for sure!”
