    You can acutally just pick one at your beauty supply store, you don't necessarily need to mix 2 colors. Depending on how dark or light your hair naturally is, a 5BR or 6BR always looks nice. Is there a particular reason you want to use Wella?

    I was at one time used to Wella haircolor but after working in a couple other salons, I found that Wella is really a lower quality color in that it fades VERY fast. In my experience, it also lacks the conditioning factor that a lot of better color lines provide.

    I like any L'Oreal color and suggest using a crème developer rather than a clear. Not sure your level of experience, but crème developers are much easier to use.

    If you are going to an actual beauty supply store, you can ask anyone of the employees as they are generally students, stylists, or ex-stylists.

    Happy Coloring:)

    Thanks I did notice that also at the salon where I used to work that's the brand they use there that's why I got used to using it, But it does fade really quick! I only have 3 years of working in this field and not very experienced with color. What about you sounds like you are a pro! :)

    Just eight years in the business but I was a color specialist and a Graham Webb Account Rep.

    Color was my favorite thing, until I developed wayyyy too many allergies to the profession in general!
