You've been undercharging. That's not your fault, but it is your problem to solve.
Color waste is the silent margin killer in multi-stylist salons. One tracking system for your whole team.
Renters mix from your backbar, every gram lands on their tab, and it settles with rent.
Three steps from the chair to the bill.
Weigh every gram of color while you mix. Real-time cost per service, no more guesswork at checkout.
Turn measurement into pricing that holds up. A balayage isn’t $40 of color. We weighed it, and it’s $52.
Appointments become habit. Habit becomes data. A hundred appointments in, you have a profit operating system.
From the first gram weighed to the end-of-month report, every tool your backbar needs is in one place.

SalonScale calculates the real product cost of each color appointment. You add that as a separate color charge on top of the service price. It’s never added to the ticket automatically, so you stay in control. And because product is charged separately from labor, your stylists’ commission doesn’t change.
It doesn’t have to. Product is charged separately from the service, and commission is based on labor, so covering color isn’t an automatic pay cut for your stylists or a raise you didn’t intend. Color still has to be paid for. SalonScale shows you exactly how much, so you can recover it on purpose instead of absorbing it, whether that’s a client charge, your pricing, or a mix of both. A price increase isn’t always a pay increase.
It’s software that tracks the exact cost of the color used in every service, either by weighing each gram or ounce or by logging what was mixed. That lets you price for profit, manage inventory, and see color cost and revenue by stylist. SalonScale is color-cost software for solo, team, and hybrid salons.
Stylists weigh color bowl by bowl as they mix, in grams or ounces, using the Bluetooth scale or by entering what was mixed. The cost adds up live as ingredients go in, and the appointment total appears at the end of the service. Nothing is estimated or averaged.
For most salons the real alternative is guesswork: pen and paper, a spreadsheet, or an honor-system “charge for the extra bowl.” SalonScale measures the true cost of every service and separates product from labor, so you capture it at checkout, where profit is actually made. Cutting waste helps, but the product’s already dispensed. If you don’t charge for what you used, you’re still undercharging. Weigh by Bluetooth or manual entry on an accurate scale. It’s simple enough that stylists actually like using it. Built by a hairstylist and salon owner.
No. They do different jobs and work best together. Your booking system is your front of house: scheduling and the salon-client relationship. SalonScale is your back of house: client formulas, plus usage-based reporting on which color lines you use most and what they cost, by stylist and service. In short, we’re the line from client formula to stylist to salon.
