“The advice from the colourist Camilla made me comfortable in mixing colours and the whole process. I have had compliments on the colour and that it is better than previous (done in salon). With work, study and children PLUS the rising costs of living this is the perfect solution to maintain my hair at home. It’s been 2 weeks since I coloured and my hair is soft and in great condition.”

“I love the colour mix the shade sent me. Blended in naturally and covered greys. No harsh smell, natural, easy to use as well. Clear instructions and minimal packaging. Definitely my go to hair colouring method going forward.”

“The shade was great at every step. The consultation was comprehensive, the product was good quality and plenty of it. The application is easy use to apply and I was more than happy with the result. I applied a semi-permanent on my roots and then a toner all over and the colour came out perfect.”

“Waste of money - what a great way to rip people off 👍 and pocket the profit Go to your local pharmacy buy 5vol developer bottle and the shade you want instead... you'll get multiple applications not just one for the same price. Product was much darker than it appears on website and dried my hair out horribly. All marketing for profit - not a good product Save your money to spend elsewhere”

Helpful Report

Dear Sharon, I'm sorry you didn't get the result you were looking for. We emphasize on our Toner page of the importance of selecting a toner colour which is one level lighter than your current hair colour level. It's a pity you didn't consult with one of our colourists prior to your toner purchase as they would have recommended a toner which would have worked with your hair colour level, as clearly the toner you purchased was not the right colour level for you. We would be happy to send you a lighter toner with our compliments. Please contact one of our colourists here who can assist you: https://theshade.com.au/colourist/ I hope this helps! Marco

“The Shade is brilliant! Easy to use. No terrible smell. Excellent grey coverage. Fantastic colour and longevity of colour. It has actually improved the condition of my hair. On top of all that, their customer support is second to none. I'm never having a salon colour again.”

“The colorist matched me perfectly to the color I was looking for. I told them my concerns of my hair especially my roots bringing out the red/brassy tones. They suggested a color that would counteract that and they hit it spot on. Found my new hair dye from here on out.”

“I have been using it for a while, due to the destruction of C19 to people's lives I have to tighten our belts and reduce as much as possible any spending. I stop colouring my hair too but now the struggles are easing, time to bring back the colour in our lives again. I love this product as being non toxic compares to a lot of products out there. So thank you.”
