How do you go about introducing olaplex into your services. Do you include it into your colour price or add an extra charge if clients ask for it?
I'm thinking of introducing this into my salon but not sure how to go about it. We are probably the most low priced salon in my town so I can't just start using it on all my clients for the same price or I'll make no profit x
Ive just purchased my first set of Olaplex.I got the mini kit to try it out,see if it was all hype...I did the stand alone treatment on a friend and it came out really well,made her hair felt great,,,,Will never fell like 'Virgin' hair again,but the quality was defiantly improved....I'm looking forward to trying it in my mixtures of bleach etc......Now just need to work out pricing,as the world want everything FREE or CHEAP....Yawn...xxI am completely new to this!

In Ireland, Olaplex is very expensive and stylists tend to charge an extra €30!! I recently tried Fiber Complex by QOD and feel it's even better, it also takes less time and is a lot cheaper. Olaplex were the first of it's kind but the industry has caught up now and are bringing out similar products at better prices. Schwarzkopf have one as well which I heard is good.Great I'll do that too! I just don't know about prices [emoji30] x
@jmoseley07 Think as a Olaplex as a solution to a problem, and by recommending it when it would help the client we are giving them the most professional service. You have to be clear about what it is and isn't otherwise they will think it is a conditioning treatment. I explain to clients with prelightened hair that it makes the hair stronger and "feel" more like heathy virgin hair and less brittle in texture like how bleached hair can feel, especially if they are trying to grow their hair. I will also offer it when prelightening/ balayaging hair especially if the client is going even lighter than before. It is easy to then say "we can do this... but lightening over prelightened hair will make it xxx but you have this stuff called olaplex we can use which will do xxxx" and give them the option. I tend to open the conversation by asking them "have you heard of olaplex?" which seems to be a good opener to dialgue.
I only recommed things that I belive clients will benifit from and almost everyone that I have recommened it too has had it. The more that you use it you will know what clients are more suited it it. If the hair feels dry = damaged cuticle they also need moisturising treatments to make it feel soft. Hair has poor elasticity/ breakage/ brittle texture use olaplex.
This is exactly what we do. My last small bottle I think I worked out we got 17 applications out of it but as we are doing more stand alones now I went for the big bottle this time. If the client has fine or shorter hair, I have halved the quantity for the stand alone and it still seems to be as effective otherwise it just felt like a waste!Exactly how Adam said it is how I've introduced it I'm also a lower prices salon in a little village I always offer it and go through the shpiel of what it does, it gets tiresome repeating the whole bond building blah blah blah, but when your using it it makes life so much easier! I wish every client would have it! I always make sure they don't feel pressured to have it mind it's totally up to them, but Their hair is so nice because of it! I have clients asking me for it now before I ask which is nice because it proves it really works for them. I charge a flat rate of £20 for olaplex, then whatever the service they get costs, when I use 3ml in a colour I make awesome profit, my first bottle I only used 3 & 7.5 ml measures because I diddnt do any standalones, at £20 a go I'll let you work out my profit
Hey there,do you have to have number 3 to sell to you clients to,in salons do they offer it in the price or completely separate to the cost of treatment and in colour service.xThis is exactly what we do. My last small bottle I think I worked out we got 17 applications out of it but as we are doing more stand alones now I went for the big bottle this time. If the client has fine or shorter hair, I have halved the quantity for the stand alone and it still seems to be as effective otherwise it just felt like a waste!
I'm going to try the stand alone on another friend who has hair a bit more damaged from colour and see if i note more of a diff,,want to really believe in the product before i push it,as last person noticed no diff,but that might just be their hair type..xI bought the 12 pack of number 3's and am gradually getting rid of them but not everyone who has the treatment buy it. Most of the clients have it in the colour and come every 6weeks anyway and feel the benefits last until their next colour so I don't push it! When I have done colour corrections I build it into the quote with the number 3 to take home included too but otherwise I just add on the olaplex application of £20 to their bill.

Hi, my number 3 retails at £30 which is reccomended RRP. I have sold my first pack of 12 so need to order my next lot in. I think I suprised myself as I'm not the best saleswoman but it sells itself!
