Is it possible to mix 834 with another blonde shade to tone down the red tones? The starting point of my hair is similar to the picture, but with a bit more golden tones. The last time I colored with 834 Amber Blonde, I felt my hair became a bit too red. I like the shade more when it has washed out a bit, but I wonder if that’s a result I could have gotten directly.

Hi! 🥰
Yes, it is absolutely possible to mix 834 Amber Blonde with another shade from the same series to get a slightly softer and less red result. Since you still want to keep the warm, golden feeling, I would choose a neutral blonde shade rather than a very ashy one, which otherwise can make the result more matte🤎
That you think the color looks nicer after a few washes is also completely reasonable; the warmer pigments can appear more intense right after coloring and then soften as the color washes out.
However, I would recommend doing a strand test first, as the result is greatly affected by how porous and warm your hair is.
All the best!🤎
