Data captured by Vish Colour Technology has uncovered the scandal of lost colour profits. It has also shown how easy it is to protect profit and make informed business decisions.
Every salon owner has had busy weeks but still agonised over profits. The chairs were full, the clients were happy yet there’s no money. Dig a little deeper and you’ll find that despite gaps on the shelves, few impromptu treatments like toners or extra bowls of colour were added to final bills. The result of those missed services and uncharged for colour? Extra costs without extra profit. Research by colour tech pioneer Vish shows that capturing missed services and additional colour brings an immediate 15 per cent increase in revenue. So how do you protect your profits and minimise the misery of missed services?
Increase Team Confidence
When the costs of toner are left off the bill, their high unit price and low margins actually cost you money. So, too, are the half-head foils that in reality become a full head. Sometimes stylists are super-busy and forget to include them in the final ticket, or sometimes they are simply reluctant to pass on additional costs to the client. Technology frees the stylist from the responsibility and automatically adds extra costs to the ticket, ensuring transparency for you, the client and the stylist.
Maximise Communication
Any new system needs to speak directly to your other technology, otherwise gaps exist and profit leaks out. A seamless exchange of information takes away the chance of human error or forgetfulness. The Vish Colour Bar app communicates all extra charges and services directly to Vish Front Desk, sending a clear message about what should be charged to the client. It’s all automated, making it simple and straightforward.
Vish technology takes the stress out of stock control and replenishment. You can see with just one click how much has been used, down to the gram, making reordering only what you need super-easy. No more bloated shelves full of unused colour means more ready cash in your business. Importantly, it’s the real-time data that will change your business forever, allowing you oversight of all services delivered and the profit they are bringing to your business.
