Hair colour services bring in a wide range of unexpected situations. When errors happen, they quickly become costly. Something &#8220;as small as&#8221; unbalanced colour scales can have a colourist or assistant mix up far too much of a formula, leading to massive waste, increased costs, and lost revenue. <a href=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/633743\/Website%20PDFs\/Vish-StopTheInsanity.pdf\">According to research<\/a>, the average salon throws away 25-40% of its colour inventory and loses 10-15% of its colour service revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>The industry-wide issue comes about in conversations with an alarming frequency, and with demand for colour treatments being at an all-time high post-lockdown, product costs will increase dramatically and possibly threaten profit margins. The question is: how can salons recoup these costs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making every drop of colour count<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Without effective systems, salon owners are left to manage their colour business with guesswork, estimates and manufacturer benchmarks.

As a result, any extra foils, colour-tubes, hair colour, papers and plastics too often end up in our waterways or landfills.&nbsp;Upon reopening, Vish projects salons across the industry will be using up to 175% more colour on each retouch, many absorbing these costs, cutting into their already thin margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/21194624\/Vish-IG-tiles.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/21194624\/Vish-IG-tiles.png 1000w, https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/21194624\/Vish-IG-tiles-300x89.png 300w, https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/21194624\/Vish-IG-tiles-768x227.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At its core, Vish serves to preserve the environment while helping salons get complete visibility on waste, consistency in colour services, and guaranteeing a profit margin.
