A professional creative-coloring tool that allows the color tone to be corrected, intensified or personalized. The pigment of the selected shade can be mixed with other system shades, giving the hairdresser greater flexibility to create an individual, intense and glossy result.
Professional MIXtone is a concentrated pigment for the colorist's creative adjustment of color formulas, correction of unwanted tones or intensification of a nuance within the Perlacolor system.
Professional color formula and active ingredients
- Low ammonia content (approximately 1.5–3% depending on the shade).
- Aloe vera helps moisturize and soothe, while monoi and coconut oils help soften the hair.
- Shea butter, rich in vitamins A and E, helps support healthy-looking hair.
- Highly purified pigments help deliver an intense, stable and long-lasting color result.
- The creamy, non-drip O/W emulsion helps ensure even application and easy rinsing.
How do you use the product?
For professional use only. MIXtone is a concentrated color corrector added to a Perlacolor formula to intensify a tone, neutralize an unwanted shade, or create a customized color direction. The colorist determines the amount of MIXtone based on the base level, underlying tone, selected Perlacolor shade, and desired correction intensity; it should not automatically be used as a standalone full-head color.
- Mixing principle: first create the Perlacolor color formula, including the required amount of MIXtone, then calculate the amount of Oyster Oxy Cream based on the total amount of color cream.
- For standard permanent coloring: the final color mixture to Oxy Cream ratio is generally 1:1; typical processing time is approximately 30–40 minutes, depending on the desired lift and developer.
- Tone-on-tone coloring: the final color mixture to 6–10 Vol. Oxy Cream ratio may be 1:2; processing time is approximately 15–20 minutes.
- For high-lift formulas: follow the relevant high-lift formula at a 1:2 ratio and an approximate processing time of 40–50 minutes.
Mix the color mass in a non-metallic bowl until completely smooth and apply evenly. MIXtone is highly pigmented, so choose the dose precisely and follow the complementary-color principle: correction intensity increases with the amount of pigment added. Check the result regularly during processing. After processing, emulsify with lukewarm water, rinse thoroughly, and finish with suitable Oyster care.
