How SalonScale Supports Stylists

As a stylist, you know that time is one of the biggest investments in every color service. Yet in many salons, the systems behind the scenes haven’t always kept up with the reality of modern color work. That’s where tools like SalonScale come in.

More salons are adopting SalonScale to create more accurate systems around color services, and the impact is felt most behind the chair. When owners choose tools that prioritize transparency and efficiency, stylists benefit in big ways.

What SalonScale Means for You Behind the Chair

SalonScale is a backbar management app designed to remove guesswork from color services and create clarity around product usage. While salon owners bring it into the salon, it’s built with stylists in mind.

Here’s how it supports your work:

• Accurate product tracking while you mix
  The app calculates product usage in real time: simply weigh, mix, and complete your service.
  
• Saved formulas and client history
  All formulas and notes are stored in one place, making repeat appointments and corrections more consistent.
  
• Built-in developer ratio calculator
  Takes away the need for mental math, speeding up mixing time.
  
• Clear, transparent color totals
  Product usage is clearly shown, helping eliminate awkward conversations.
  
  

A Better Experience for Clients, Too

Clients benefit from salons that use clear, modern systems.

With SalonScale, clients experience:

• Fair pricing based on actual product used
  
• Greater trust in their stylist and salon
  
• Transparency around color services
  
• Confidence that the salon values accuracy and professionalism

When clients understand the “why” behind their service, it builds stronger long-term relationships.

Here’s How to Start the Conversation

If you’ve been hearing stylist friends rave about SalonScale, whether on social media, at classes, or behind the chair in another salon, you might be wondering what it would look like in your salon too.

While salon owners ultimately decide what systems are implemented, it’s completely okay to bring up tools that could support your work and strengthen the salon as a whole. The key is knowing how to start the conversation confidently and constructively.

That’s why we created a helpful resource just for stylists:
