I am SO GLAD I found this video today before I ordered toner. All these toners are clearanced out at $2 a piece at salon centric, I have only used these once but needed this info to stock up on the colors that work for my hair. SO MUCH great info. The screenshot for us, explaining B means brown and not blue ect. Thank you!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this video! I’m am brand new to using these. I’ve been trying different brands of toners to find something closest to shades eq and so far Paul mitchell Demi’s have been the closest. I tried to use 7p on a bleach retouch I did today that was very yellow and it seemed to put red back into it… ugh I was so disappointed!! But, I thought, I’m not going to give up! I’m going to watch some videos and see what I did wrong. This video really helped and I’m definitely going to get me a chart!
I've been curious to test out the brass-free violet and brass-free blue, now I'm sold with this vid! Scooping some as soon as the beauty supply opens tomorrow! x)
I used brass free violet with BF blue on a very heavy very light foil. It actually looked pinkish as it processed. I was patient and let it go. Did not do much. 🤷🏼♀️
my hair is blonde and i want to go darker like a light brown. what shade would you recommend and would it end up staining my hair or would it eventually wash out and my blonde will show again? thank u!
When mixing the tonal shades into the brown bases what would be the mixing ratio? Also, what would you recommend toning a level 8 copper, but dont want red want more of a orange yellow vs. orange red?
Hey there! So I bought a wig recently and and it is quite a yellow/orangey golden blonde with red brown maybe level 6 roots and bangs. The wig is actually cute even with the brass but eventually I wanna try and neutral it out and get the blonde not yellow and light orange and change the root color from the red undertoned to a neutral brown. Should I use the 6MT on the roots and bangs and then use like a 9BV for the blonde mids and ends?
I have silver and 10V...I want silver/gray hair back again. What will happen if I mix these 2? I can't seem to find any videos anywhere on the demi silver or 10V results.
Have you tried the flash toner I haven’t had much luck with em. I do love the other toners i love 9v, 10v the 9bv they work every time i do wanna make the flash toner work tho the only thing is i do a whole 2 ounces of the violet and .5 ounce of the beige idk if they can be mixed together or if one is canceling the other out I thought it would be a pretty mix but i never can tell a difference.
So if you have the 7N demi color toner and mix it with a different brand like the Redken 9NA shades eg is that a problem since they are to different brands?
Just saw your video, I need to re tone my hair, I used the 9bv before watching your video and it's not what I wanted, I thought the b meant blue, can you give me any suggestions my hair is still brassy looking in some spots.
a good shade combo for blondes is V+G!! the amount of g depends on the porosity of the hair! the more porous, the more you'd add. you should definitely try! it's tha bomb
Ooh yes! That is another good one! I have used those 2 together as well and I agree it is GORGEOUS!! 😍 thanks for putting it in the comments for others to see!
@@meganlorson of course! i sent u a dm but i guess i should probably ask it here for others to know. so i was taught we can use 5vol clear if there is no processing solution, but why cant we use 5vol cream?
I love The Demi but I find that I ended up using a lot of the PM XG with 10 vol or PM the Color with 5 vol for toning in school. We are in a very Hispanic community and when lifting Latina hair they needed a lot of powerful correction afterwards. The only time I really used The Demi is when someone needed an all over color or lowlights.
Thanks! very informative video. Can you clarify something for me. Is the Demi clear essentially the same (or interchangeable) to the PM Shines clear? I love the idea of the 16+oz bottle!
I have a ton of red in my hair. I hate it. So far I have only had to do the front of my hair with color to cover grey. I use pm shines just to give my straight hair some body. After watching this are you saying the MT will neutralize that natural red undertone?
Thank you! I have brown hair with some highlights. I used 6n to touch up my roots and hide my gray. My highlights and ends are lighter and looks brassy. I bought 6bv but I’m scared to try it. How do you think it will turn out?
do you think the flash toners would work on level 8 hair? I have some orange in my hair that I want to cancel out and want to use the flash toner but would you recommend using the ash series instead?
I'm a natural coppery redhead and my stylist has used the pm shine Shiny Penny (9RO) on my hair for YEARS to boost my color and shine. Now that is discontinued she's unsure what to use to get the same look because The Demi doesn't have a 9RO. Any suggestions on a mix can give her to help get my copper back?
Hi April! I know I responded to you on a Instagram but wanted to on here also incase anyone else was wondering the same thing. Paul Mitchell made a conversion chart for the Pm Shines to The Demi’s so for 9R0 pm shines you can use equal parts 9OR + 9R in the Demi.
Quick question, we’re switching from shades EQ to Paul Mitchell the demi. I have like 3 bottles of our shades EQ “clear” 33oz bottles and am wondering if I can use this clear up before I go and buy the small bottles of demi clear?😬I mean I don’t see why it wouldn’t work do you?
Are you asking if you can mix the redone shades we with the Demi processing solution? And also did you know you can also get a large size of the Paul Mitchell Demi Clear? I think it’s like 16.9oz. size!
What is your formula for a pearly blonde toner? Also I do use Paul Mitchell de color and bleach but redken for toners and my client says her hair is very tangled after her showers her hair is long and I just don’t know what is it?
There is actually a whole Demi series called the PA’s and those are actually pearl ash. They are really pretty! Also the 10V can be really pearly, the Brass Free Violet and even the 9A the Demi is gorgeous........does your client use a leave in conditioner or any products after washing her hair? My hair tangles a lot after washing it if I don’t use certain products. I like to use Paul Mitchell Super Strong leave in treatment and super skinny is amazing for getting tangled out 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I have dark brown hair that I just had highlighted. It is too warm…I just put the Demi Violet on it for 20min but it still looks too warm (orange) closest to the root at the top of my head. I am wondering if I could go back and kill the warm orange root with the Demi Blue?
Violet does cancel orange you need to use blue to cancel orange. If it's yellow orange you need a blue violet, depending on what color is more dominant
I am letting my gray/white hair grow out. But, I want the color change to be gradual. I have a #9 toner on and I don't like it because it's too "yellow" and too much contrast to my real colors. What color toner(s) could I tell the stylist at the Paul Mitchell school near me to use so that growing out my natural colors is not as obvious (for lack of a better word)?
Hi I need help please. I used a 20 vol developer with the paul mitchell demi. It said its a non lift but did it lift with the 20 developer? My hair looks so gross. I mixed the lighest ash, natural and violet. It looks so ugly. I cant bleach over it cause my hair is already too light. What can I do to fix this????
Hi Susanna! Yes I’m guessing it tried lifting your hair some with the 20 volume developer. It’s only recommended to use Processing Liquid with the Demi because it has a lower volume of peroxide in it. I wish I could help you but I would need to see your hair in order to know how to fix it.
@@meganlorson thank you. But when it says its non lift how come the developer lifts anyways? If I would have used a dark color with a 20 vol developer then it wouldnt go lighter either right? I thought that the lift only happens when there is bleach or something that says that it lifts.
It’s only considered a non lift when mixed with the right developer, the reason it lifted was because it was mixed with 20 volume developer which is a higher developer than what the Demi was designed /recommended to Be mixed with. The Developer is what determines if it will lift or deposit color. I like to think of the developer as “the energy” and when it’s mixed with color or lighteners the combination of the 2 is what will determine if it will lift or just deposit color.
@@meganlorson oh man.. thank you! That sucks :( I left it on for only 5 min. It didn't lift too much right? Is it still gonna wash out although I used 20 vol? I did a vitamin C and anti dandruff application to remove the color. Its way better now.
My favorite ash brown formulas are pretty much any of the A’S mixed with the N’s for that perfect balance of an ash brown and then for an ashy blonde I love 9A, 9V, 10V, and 9PA (pearl ash)
I'm having this exact same problem!! It was a perfect match for my copper and I've not found a stylist who can help me match it yet. Have you had any luck?
@@meganlorson def I can see that. I've been out of the bizz for a bit and didn't realize they discontinued shines and grabbed some 9v to tone. It slightly turned lavender on me haha 😄 I was like hold up this never happened before. 😅
Gray blending is when the color is essentially laying on top of the cuticle to “camoflauge” the gray but the gray is not 100% covered. It will maybe looked covered but maybe when the sun shines on it you would see some gray.
I recently got a root touch up (level 4-5) neutral brown AND since I'm older and going gray, I have Pravana Vivids smokey silver highlights. My stylist did AMAZING lifting the color to get the silver... but due to the color my hair was, some of the silver highlights have a slight yellow tinge. I have Paul Mitchell 7 Vol Processing liquid and the Demi 10PA to tone out the yellow. Will that formula lift my dark color at all?? Thanks in advance for the help!
I'm not a hair artist but my new stylist uses Paul Mitchell so I'm watching ALLL the potentially useful videos I can about this line so we can work together to create the perfect shade for my hair
I have silver and 10V...I want silver/gray hair back again. What will happen if I mix these 2? I can't seem to find any videos anywhere on the demi silver or 10V results.
Hey! I’m personally not a fan of mixing the muted metallic colors with any of the other Demi colors just because I feel like they turn out looking sort of “muddy”. To be honest my FAVORITE silver colors are like 8A and 9A Paul Mitchell The Color and The Color XG🙌🏻

Hi. I have red in my hair and I'm trying to get rid of it. What mix would you use to just be an ash brown?
Have you tried the flash toner I haven’t had much luck with em. I do love the other toners i love 9v, 10v the 9bv they work every time i do wanna make the flash toner work tho the only thing is i do a whole 2 ounces of the violet and .5 ounce of the beige idk if they can be mixed together or if one is canceling the other out I thought it would be a pretty mix but i never can tell a difference.

Did you use clear ?
@@matthewirvin6505 demi is used with the p.m. processing liquid
Thank you this is amazing
Thanks! very informative video. Can you clarify something for me. Is the Demi clear essentially the same (or interchangeable) to the PM Shines clear? I love the idea of the 16+oz bottle!
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful, yes the clear is the same for both.

Hi! I wouldn’t technically mend the flag toners, they typically work best on a level 10, I would recommend 9A The Demi 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Starting out should you get every Demi color
So I have a Cosmo card and I’m thinking about doing my own hair with this product 🤔 I’m not a hairdresser but I’m so tempted to do my own hair lol
I went to paul mitchell & tecently graduated & they didn’t teach us any of this lmao. Pretty sad but thank you soooo much for this. Helped me so much.
LMFAO NO SERIOUSLY

Hi Megan
Thank you for this Video👍
After processing the Demi do you wash the hair with shampoo?
Hey! Thanks for watching! 💕 Yes shampoo after using the Demi.
How do you get the clear to add shine I just did one and didn’t notice more shine
Did you mix it with the processing liquid and did you let it process for 20 minutes? Also did you put it on dry or damp hair?
@@meganlorson i tried it twice once with dry and once on damp mixed with the processing liquid. I let it set like 25 mins both times.
I have issues with getting asher color...any formulas you have for blonde and asher browns

We usually get them through our sales rep and also if you set up a professional account on paulMitchellpro.com you can usually get them on there also.
@@meganlorson thank you!
I used 9RO PM Shines forever. It is my natural hair color exact match. How would that translate to the Demi? No professional can confidently match 😣😭
I'm having this exact same problem!! It was a perfect match for my copper and I've not found a stylist who can help me match it yet. Have you had any luck?
What color Demi do you use in your hair?
This and your early videos please
Hey Sarah! Currently I have been using 9A the Demi to tone my hair but I use different ones. I also love 9V the Demi and use that on my hair a lot.
Is the demi pretty much PM shines?
They are similar but different, PM shines is more translucent whereas the demi is more opaque and has more tonal intensity
@@meganlorson def I can see that. I've been out of the bizz for a bit and didn't realize they discontinued shines and grabbed some 9v to tone. It slightly turned lavender on me haha 😄 I was like hold up this never happened before. 😅
Can u show on screen ur work...
When adding clear to the Demi and processing liquid to make it more translucent, what is the ratio?
Equal parts
