Lexie Bosovich owns Golden Hour Hair Studio, a five-stylist team salon in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The salon has used SalonScale for almost two years to track the cost of every color service as it’s mixed.
The challenge
Revenue and profit aren’t the same number, and a busy color salon can bring in plenty of one without knowing much about the other. Without a clear view of what product each service actually used, it’s hard to set prices with confidence or plan a budget for color and backbar.
The solution
With SalonScale, every bowl is weighed and every product cost is tracked in real time. That gives Lexie the information to make informed pricing decisions instead of guessing.
SalonScale has helped me separate revenue from profit by tracking my product costs in real time. It’s become an essential tool for making informed pricing decisions and running a healthier business.

Ordering based on usage
For Lexie, the standout feature is inventory and product ordering. Because SalonScale knows what’s actually being used, reordering is based on real usage.
My favorite feature as an owner is the inventory integration. I love how easy it is to order based on usage, which really allows me to budget accordingly for my color and backbar without overstocking or overspending.

Formulas in one place
Stylists at Golden Hour share guests often, so being able to pull up anyone’s previous formula matters. With every formula saved in SalonScale, any stylist can match a client’s color, no matter who did it last time.
The team also loves that all formulas are stored in one place. We share guests frequently in the salon, so it’s highly convenient when we can easily pull up someone’s previous formula to match things.
