you have to use a red or gold filler before going brown.  Sally beauty sells them but if you don't have access to them...

Try this, buy a semi-permanent red or strawberry blonde color, don't use the developer, leave it in your hair for ten minutes, then pat it till almost dry.  Then apply your brown hair color normally.

I would read Claude's post "Introduction to Haircoloring" at the top of this forum.

I went up to Sallys to pick out my hair color and I noticed on the bottle it said "Base Double Gold" "Base Blue and Yellow"....I asked the ladie workin there and she told me she did not much about the bases so I'm goin from blonde to a chestnut brown and I need some suggetions on products and colors...Once I tried to go light brown and it turned out with a red tone and I do not want red in it....

I'm assuming you've been bleached, if so then color has been taken out of your hair and you need to put it back for the brown to look right.  OTherwise it has the risk of looking a little odd or  even greenish

If it turned red before, it depends on what your hair color was at that time.  It might not have lifted enough therefore causing red to show (Claude's sticky has some info on this, "undertones")


Since your color has gold in it you may be able to just go to brown though :)

Chinastop is right. There is no need to strip your hair since blonde is basicly stripped hair to begin with. You'd only strip it if you were going lighter.
I agree since your hair has gold in it already it shouldnt be too hard to go brown.
Also,please dont pick a brown that is too dark. The color will "grab" and you will be unhappy as it will look almost black.
Choose a light brown. possibly a light golden brown.
You can always go daker later if it is not dark enough.
