The problem

Chair rent doesn’t cover the color.

You buy the color. Your renters use it. Fixed rent captures none of it, and nothing tracks what left the shelf. SalonScale turns supplied color into billed product revenue, gram by gram.

Common questions

How do renters get charged for color?

Each renter mixes under their own login. Every gram is priced and added to their tab, and you settle it on whatever cycle you already use for rent.

Do renters see what they owe?

Yes. Renters see their own appointments and their running tab, so the statement at the end of the period is never a surprise.

Can I mark the color up?

Yes. Charge your exact cost or add a percentage. The rule is yours and applies to every appointment a renter logs.

What if a renter brings their own color?

Most salons set one rule: either the salon supplies the color or renters bring their own. If a renter brings their own, there’s nothing to put on a Bar Tab, so they stay off your account. They can get their own SalonScale subscription if they want to track their color.

Do renters need their own subscription?

Not if your salon supplies the color. Renters are added to your salon account with their own login and use your subscription, and you decide what they can see. Renters who bring their own color would need their own subscription.

Does this keep my inventory accurate?

Yes. A renter mixing from your backbar draws stock down the same way an employee does, so counts and reorder points stay right.
