Eliminating salon waste is an integral part of the ethos at Vish. So, we looked into how much color is wasted across salons in North America. Brace yourself…you might be shocked by just how much color and money are going down the drain.
15 million pounds of hair color is wasted every year
It’s no secret that waste occurs in every salon. A half bowl of color here to half a bowl of lightener there and the waste quickly adds up! When translating those numbers into dollar figures, the average waste per service is $1.44. Now think about how many clients you serve in a week, month, and year and it becomes apparent just how significant those waste costs are. The average salon could increase its profitability by $17,280 per year if waste was eliminated.
Two of every five color tubes are wasted
In any given salon, wasted professional stock averages 25-40%. With Vish, salons are cutting that waste upwards of 80%, cutting their professional purchases as a result. When you’re able to quantify the opportunity cost of color waste, the decision to implement sustainable practices is a no-brainer.
