Hello everyone,
I came across a thread the other day containing Wella mixes and wondered if anyone has the mixing ratio for them?
I did try messaging the original poster of the thread, but sadly no reply.
I would really really love to try some of these out, but not without the ratios! Here are some of colours I came across to give a better idea of what I'm twittering on about... Sorry I know there is a lot!
But if anyone has them and could possibly message me, I would be very grateful and a very happy bunny :)

Just bumping the thread up.
Really would appreciate it if anyone has these and could find the time to forward them :) Or if I phoned wella helpline do you think they would have the ratios? I know I could just experiment but I wouldn't feel very confident telling a client they were denim blue for example and then the colour came out nothing like that because I mixed it wrong xxx
 
I would assume equal parts each tone...

I was thinking equal parts for the majority but again using the denim blue as an example, do you mean by equal parts that it would be half 10/8 light pearl blonde and half 22/0 intense black? I was thinking perhaps it would be just a cm or 2 of the 22/0 added in? Please do correct me if I'm thinking about it in the wrong way.
 
Trial and error is best then you'll come up with your own cocktail colours ;)

Have to go with Blue here... Trial and error. Use your best judgement with each mixture. :)

I did 10/21 with 4 inches /2 with 8.5 try it! It's lush! Goes bright lilac then faded off to crisp white!

Oh sounds gorgeous! Sadly I don't think 10/21 or 8/5 are available to me. As they are no where to be found on my wella koleston colour chart. Suppose again I could just attempt to make them? :)

Try 10.61? With violet mixtone with pastel to recreate this shade x
 
I should add that I'm mobile and no longer in salon, hence all the ditzy questions! I've so so missed having other stylists to talk to and learn from!
 
I did treacle toffee today in equal parts and it was nice might do more 6/7 then 6/41 next time but the client was happy

That's great to know that it came out well! Have you always experimented as you go along with these mixes? I think I just have a bad habit of writing all colour mixes down and it's like my security blanket knowing they are in my little colour diary should I need reminding of how to achieve the shade. I need to be more brave!
 
Lucky it was a client who goes with what ever I decide, she wanted dark edges was going ti do 5/37 but I find that's my safe colour so is boring so thought I would risk it, she has 10/8+ 10/1 (she is a warm 9 base) all over so wanted something warm

Phone won't let me up load pics

I think it sounds like a gorgeous colour. I will keep an eye out in case you do post pics at some point :)
 
It's on my fb page I will try and post the link

which peroxides would you use? I'm assuming you would stick to the general rules if lightening or darkening? Also would these mixes work well on virgin hair or would it be best to use them all on pre-lightened hair?
