BREAKING BAD HABITS

Crafting creative formulas means great results for clients, but if the team is addicted to wasteful habits, it can lead to inconsistencies and devastated profits

Using Vish, thousands of salons have broken their bad habits, and are now protecting their business and clients. As April celebrates Earth Month, let’s not forget that fewer chemicals means less damage to the planet. Here’s how to change the norm.

Break the habit: Costly Waste

Every gram of colour scraped into the bin or rinsed down the sink has been paid for, by the salon, stylist or client, and in the average salon it adds up to £15k-worth of waste each year. Instead of paying to pollute the planet, Vish salons have reduced waste down to pennies. This year’s Ultimate Vish Waste Warrior and reigning champion, Simon Hall from Karine Jackson Salon in London, averaged £0.09-worth of waste for each service in 2022, 25% lower than his 2021 record of £0.12.

Break the habit: Dodging Pricing

Whether it’s the shorter or thinnerhaired client subsidising those lucky people with long, thick hair or the business picking up the tab for excess colour used on hair that soaks up colour, charging a flat fee is unfair, on you and your client. It is especially galling when there is a process in place to charge for extras but they are left off the final bill. You know it happens! With Vish every gram is weighed, recorded and automatically sent to the POS systems at the front desk. Nothing is missed, and each client pays for what’s been used: justice and guaranteed profit in one.

Break the habit: Lost Formulas

You are frantic, under pressure, we understand. It is super-easy when you’re busy to forget to write up formulas or update records. But it means quantities are never quite correct, leading to an endless waste of product or, worse, erratic colour for the client. So when they loved the previous colour and came back asking for it again, but you can’t remember, the result is inconsistency and an unsatisfied client.

Vish not only captures every formula automatically, it recalibrates it so quantities are customised and exact for that specific client. Every appointment, every formula will be there on Vish.

So rather than risk your reputation and your business, allowing others to edge into your space, contact Vish to get the fix you need. You’ll cut waste and costs, be able to charge fairly for your client and your business, record every formula and… you’ll tread more lightly on the planet.
