SalonScale: Why did you choose to try SalonScale?
Diana: I wanted to get a hold on what I was actually using in color day to day and be able to charge accordingly.
SalonScale: What is your favourite SalonScale feature?
Diana: SO MANY!! I extra love the fact that it shows you what you use tube wise to make ordering easier. It stores all the usage info and separates it into bowls and that is local to my hometown of Saskatchewan. It’s important to support independent businesses.
