How to keep the spark alive and keep your client happy

Promotion – Vish

Take back your time – and do your best work – with a little help from Vish

Being a colourist is a creative vocation – you design, paint, and add the most precise details to deliver bespoke results for each client. While the opportunities to mix and blend may be endless, it can sometimes feel like busy schedules constrain creativity. Managing back-to-back appointments often means there aren’t enough hours in the day to tick off your to-do list, let alone embrace your creative passion.

Enter Vish –  the innovative colour management software that frees you to do your best work, keeping the creative spark alive and your clients happy. As well as reducing over-dispensing and boosting your bottom line, Vish will support you with all aspects of your colour business, meaning everyone is a winner.

On the record

It makes sense to jot down important colour formulas at every appointment, but it’s easy to forget when you’re busy. Vish has your back, capturing every gram of colour dispensed, so you have a full client history on file, complete with exact ratios. Using it in the consultation lets you reference previous formulas so that you can deliver the same gorgeous colour every time.

If you want to spice things up, you can use your Vish history to tweak colour formulas and refresh your client’s look, keeping your clients excited about your work and you on top of your game.

Vish will also ensure your client stays happy if you are unavailable for some reason. A bout of flu or an unforeseen emergency can strike anyone at any time. If you’re suddenly absent, your colleagues can check your client’s colour history on Vish and complete the service confidently.

Vish scale and tablet

Vish does the maths

Remixing can be a nightmare, especially when you need a little additional colour to complete the service. How often have you needed a part bowl to finish up but faced the complicated and time-consuming task of working out reduced quantities and ratios of developer to tint? When time is money, it can sometimes seem like the only option is to mix the same quantity again, even though you know it means wasting half a bowl or more. Vish does the maths for you, keeping tabs on the exact ratios of every shade used at every service. So should you need to remix halfway through an appointment, you or your assistant can be confident that the formula is consistent and the finish perfect. And the best news? It keeps costs down for the client and the salon, as mixing only what is needed minimises waste. Less dispensed means less expense.

And when your creative endeavours have paid off, and your delighted client goes to pay, Vish ensures pricing is transparent, ending surprise charges and awkward encounters over changes to the service. Instead, Vish records every bowl and alerts the front desk automatically. The itemised bill clearly shows any changes communicated to the client by the receptionist. As a bonus, capturing the exact cost of additional colour can actually reduce the bill.

Time is on your side

Finally, when time is pressing, and you’re up against the clock completing a lengthy colour transformation with your next client due all too soon, Vish can help. While working hard on a balayage or highlights, an assistant can follow your formula to mix your colour for you. Quick, easy, and no maths required.

From wavy to straight in no time at all! There was some serious Cher Energy at our very own spin on Studio 54, as @hairbymichellesultan and her team transformed our model’s luscious waves into super-long, silky strands using the latest @Babylissprouk innovation, the Falco dryer. “We’re not going overdo it, because we still want to keep an element of that authentic texture,” she says.For all the BTS action and unseen snippets from the shoot, head to creativeheadmag.com. #AD #hair #hairdressing #BaBylissPro #BaBylissProFalco #70shair #seventieshair #disco #discohair #bighair #texturedhair #curlyhair #cher #supersleekhair

Two iconic looks. One epic shoot. Bringing both the raw energy of Grace Jones and the infamous Afro silhouette to our October shoot, @hairbymichellesultan and the team created two equally fierce looks for Akuac, both overflowing with attitude. While the approach to the exaggerated Afro was more is more, for the buzzcut Michelle wanted to push boundaries, “pushing it until it’s almost uncomfortable, making it super edgy.” For more from the Studio 54 showstopper, head to creativeheadmag.com. #AD #hair #hairdressing #BaBylissPro #BaBylissProFalco #70shair #seventieshair #disco #discohair #afro #bighair #texturedhair #curlyhair #curls
