ColorLab
Weigh it. Save it. Cost it.
The colour brain for the chair — a Bluetooth precision scale, a formula from a photo, and the true cost of every gram, all tied to the booking.
Most stylists eyeball the bowl, never record the formula, and guess at stock. ColorLab fixes all three — on one simple loop: open the client, get the formula, weigh, save.
A black Acaia scale connects over Bluetooth and guides every pour to the gram — “add 9 g… stop.” Stylists stop over-mixing, and the colour that used to go in the bin stays in the bowl.
Measured, not eyeballed — thousands of pounds of colour saved a year.
Photograph the hair and the AI reads it — with the client's colour history — and suggests the shades and grams, with safety rules that say “please confirm” rather than guess. A returning client's last formula reloads in one tap. Every colour is saved to the client forever, across every branch.
A formula never walks out the door when a stylist does.
Each formula shows its real product cost the moment it's weighed — and the saving versus the old eyeballed way. Product used is tallied against stock, so reordering follows what was truly poured, not a hunch.
The hard ROI number an owner can actually see.
ColorLab isn't a standalone scale. It reads and writes Daviana — the one shared record every SalonForge product shares.
The clients booked for colour, their history and per-stylist pricing all pull straight from Daviana — tap a client and their formulas are there.
Every weighed bowl is saved to the client and, where a salon enables it, the colour charge posts back to the appointment — the bill reflects what was really used.
Product poured comes off the stock count, so reordering — and per-stylist usage — is driven by real consumption, not a guess.
One client record. One till. One stock count.
