For Michell, opening Savoye Salon Spa has been a 22 year journey. Michell Bartlein is the owner and stylist at Savoye Salon Spa, a team-based, Aveda lifestyle salon located in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Savoye describes themselves as “a place to get away from everyday stresses” with a mission to provide exceptional service.
Savoye has been a Vish customer for over 8 months! As an Aveda salon, Savoye values being environmentally conscious, and as a team-based salon, consistency is key for a team sharing customers. Savoye’s reason for trying out Vish? Vish seemed to be a “logical fit” for maintaining and strengthening that environmental consciousness, as well as ensuring consistency in color services – which became clear to Michell when talking with a friend who uses Vish in their salon.
With Vish, Savoye has seen its color waste go down to 9%, making the environmental impact that was hoped for. Savoye has also seen the benefits of using Vish as a team-based salon, “we share customers, and there are no worries about seeking out a color”. With Vish storing 100% of color formulas, they’re always ready to be reproduced, allowing customers to see any provider they want.
The inspiration behind opening Savoye, according to Michell, was a genuine need for “something different” in a world that’s evolving so quickly, to “help others rise, personally and professionally, with actions that create a positive ripple effect, not only in Savoye, but in the world”.
Savoye has also seen a change in their typical day at the salon since using Vish – “we are saving time in our day by not looking through a handful of color books. Vish creates a streamlined system that moves our day smoothly. It also keeps everyone accountable – from mixing color all the way to cleaning bowls versus throwing them in the sink.”
“Vish creates unbelievable consistency in color formulation, pricing and color waste acknowledgement.”

Vish’s customer service was one of the things Michell highlighted as being important to Savoye – “it’s almost magical how fast they get back to me”.
Vish has eliminated emotional pricing. With Vish…..
“Vish is a great visual for providers to see what they used, there’s no running from it or hiding it.”
