Three Ways to Make Hair Color Services More Profitable

Salons face some surprising challenges when it comes to hair color services. Did you know that 40% of hair color is wasted due to over-mixing? This waste amounts to thousands of dollars of lost revenue a year. What’s more, it also results in unnecessary waste ending up in landfills. Also, 20% of color services aren’t properly charged. For example, salons often don’t charge for toners during lightening sessions, which cuts into profits. In this episode, we sit down with Tim Howard, founder of Vish, to explore three essential ways salons can make hair color services more profitable and how Vish tackles these common pain points to help salons thrive.
