“Definitely better quality than the stuff you buy at the chemist and the accessories help get really good coverage. I’m getting lots of compliments and the colour is just what I’ve been longing for.”

“Great hair colour - didn’t dry out my super curly hair. Very impressed”

“My trial has gone really well. The colour is great and my hair feels soft. The tint kit is easy to use. The only reason I’m not giving five stars is that I’ve sent a query about my colour buildup so will write another review once that’s complete!”

“I was a bit dubious about buying a colour online, I needn't had worried the colour was perfect, the coverage was amazing and the kit came in a gorgeous little box with a personalised note. I'm so happy I choose The Shade. Can't wait till my next shipment.”

“Have tried multiple colours and have overall been disappointed. A plus is the dye doesn't irritate my scalp but the colour result has never met my expectations. Will not purchase again.”

Hi Bree, We are happy to provide personalised colour advice to help you meet your colour goals. We can blend colours in a Duo colour blend if we haven't got one single colour option which meets your goals. Please contact one of our colourists here for individualised colour recommendations: https://theshade.com.au/colourist/ Regards, Maria The Shade

“Easy and professional to use.. I have just finished my trial and was so happy with everything that was included in my order. Just waiting on the colour, application was easy. Thanks and I’ll be ordering on a regular basis!!”

“It’s so easy to receive my colour in the mail and colour my own hair when it suits me. I can put it on and clean my house or work from home at the same time as colouring my hair. Two birds on stone works for me!”

“This service is fantastic. The online colourist consultant have me all the advice I needed for choosing the right shade and extra tips for getting the colouring effect I wanted. The high quality products arrived beautifully packaged. Everything worked perfectly, my hair looks and feels great. This was better than going into a salon. I'll be keeping my subscription for sure!”

Helpful Report

“I like the product. The amounts given are just slightly too small for me. Not enough to use the double pack without wasting a lot so I make it work with singles. I wish they gave the option of a reusable squeeze bottle applicator and brush. The bowl and brush is a mess and I need help to get a decent application. It would be nice to have a more practical option for those with longer hair. I ended up finding a squeeze bottle on my own, its so much quicker.”

“The colour matching process is easy and accurate and takes the stress out of changing product. The product is simple to use and gives a salon quality result everytime !”

Helpful Report

“Highly recommend trying the shade. The quality is great, it makes my hair shiny and the conditioner is amazing. I actually prefer my hair now than when I had it dyed at the salon. Customer service is fab. I have changed my order a few times and they are always so quick to respond. The colour consults are very helpful too. One thing I will say is to take the advice that the shade give to try one shade lighter than you are aiming for as I feel like the results come out slightly darker than expected”

“I have recently finished chemotherapy where I lost all of my hair. So I have been looking for a very gentle, Australian made product that is suitable for the new growth that I have. The Shade did not disappoint. My hair is really soft and no longer a mix of white (common after chemo) and brown.”

Helpful Report

“The Shade has been an excellent choice that I made, the colour has been brilliant and has lasted a long time, due to covid19 there has been some issues with my money, so i changed my delivery to a longer gap very easily. I can highly recommend this product and company.”

Helpful Report

“The best hair colour I have ever used! The colour itself is long lasting and doesn’t dry out my hair. The shampoo and conditioner are absolutely heavenly. I love receiving my Shade and I love the feel of freshly coloured hair with the highest quality product. Great value for money. Thank you so much!”

Helpful Report

“The colour is great and it's lovely getting it delivered so I don't have to think about it. However it's a shame there isn't an option to get a root touch up colour for in between (much needed for resistant greys). I hope they do this soon as other hair colour subscriptions do so I am thinking about switching.”

Helpful Report

“The colour is ok - a bigger selection in the strawberry blonde/titian range would be appreciated. One pack is generous enough for longer hair so don't believe the upsell for the additional colour and developer. The free kit isn't worth the money. The clips have no gripping power for fine hair and the brush is next to useless. All up, quite a bit about this purchase proved to be a disappointment. Many supermarket brands perform as well and are far cheaper. I'll persist with one more kit before making a final decision.”
