I'm so glad, do the staff note down what measurement they did and if they had any waste or not? X

No, but that is great idea! Thank you x

No, but that is great idea! Thank you x

Just another way to know how much product is used for each client also stock usage/check and it should eradicate 90% of your wastage! X

I got some off eBay. Just small "bog standard" ones nothing fancy but do the job and I wouldn't mind if I left them or dropped them etc as they were only £6 but they work really good

Weighing sounds good! But what if the dye is a different density to the developer? So it had more weight for every ml than developer. Weighing wouldn't work - you'd have to measure?

No it's completely the same hun, 1gram is 1ml weighing is a lot more accurate than measuring x

It's a ratio, so as long as you're measuring in the same units, it won't affect it

Ahh. Gotcha! I want me some scales now!

Ok not as cheeky as it sounds, but how do you measure your colour?

I've personally always used digital scales, love them and so so accurate!! Could not cope without them but I'm aware some people don't measure they guesstimate!!!!

I always use digital scales... and for a long time in our salon I was the only one! I was in shock that everyone at that time guestimated! So much so that the assistants thought it was ridiculous that I measured colour in that way and would put them away. This was two years ago and now everyone measures their tints/ bleaches using the digital scales...
