018 How to Maximise the Profitability of your Colour Services with Alicia Soulier of Salon Scale

This year I've spent a lot of time in the United States with John Paul Mitchell Systems presenting one of my favourite seminars that I call ‘GROW MY COLOR BUSINESS' which is something we should all be focused on. As hairdressers, it’s essential that we know how to consult and design and apply a colour. But it’s equally important that we know how to make money from it. I'm currently sitting in a Hotel room in Las Vegas and for today's podcast, I'm online talking with Alicia Soulier in Saskatchewan Canada. Aleisha is a hairdresser, salon owner and founder of tech company SalonScale.com which is a hair colour app that amongst other things ensures that you know the exact cost of product in every colour service leaving the salon - Which means that you can, therefore, price your colour services accordingly. I think that there are two stories here, one is the Salon Scale story and how the app can help salon owners and hairdressers. And the other is about a young woman who is a hairdresser who starts a tech company and succeeds against all odds… Amongst other things, we will discuss The problems that SalonScale solves How to maximise the profitability of your colour services How should you price salon colour services What is the typical percentage of a colour service that should be product cost?
