No. Equivalences are approximate because each brand uses different pigments, bases, and concentrations. The level (1-10) is universal, but the reflect result may vary. We always recommend doing a strand test when switching brands.

Yes. Inside Blendsor you'll find it in Learn → Brand converter and in the chat attach button (+). There the equivalent comes with its confidence level and a warning if the product type changes, and you can send it to the advisor to fine-tune it for your client's base, grays and porosity.

It's not recommended. Each brand formulates its products with specific chemistry (pH, alkalizing agent, pigment system). Mixing brands can create unpredictable reactions and unwanted results. Always use color and developer from the same brand.
