Behind The Mirror Podcast

Most hairdressers can tell you exactly how to create a beautiful result.

Far fewer can tell you exactly what that result cost them.

In this clip, we discuss why understanding your numbers isn’t about being obsessed with profit—it’s about making informed decisions.

When you know what every service, colour bowl, and appointment is costing, you stop guessing and start running your business with confidence.

Are you tracking your costs to the penny, or are you still relying on gut feeling?

Vish takes the guesswork out of colour mixing by providing assistants with the exact measurements needed for every shade. No confusion, no wasted product—just consistency, confidence, and beautiful results every time.

Because great colour isn’t luck… it’s precision.

Imagine working 50+ hours a week, managing staff, dealing with clients, ordering stock and running a business…

…only to keep 2-3% profit.

In this clip, Danny shares a statistic that should make every salon owner stop and think.

He explains why so many salons struggle with profitability and how salons using accurate colour-costing data are reporting profit margins closer to 15-17%.

The question is:

Do you actually know what every colour service is costing your business?

Or are you just hoping there’s profit left at the end?

What’s your biggest challenge when it comes to salon profitability?
👇🏻

How many times have you reduced a bill because you felt bad?

Maybe the client had a tough week.
Maybe you’ve looked after them for years.
Maybe you just didn’t feel confident charging what the service was actually worth.

Danny believes hairdressers are the world’s best emotional discounters.

The problem? Emotions don’t pay your bills.

Data does.

In this clip, Danny explains how understanding the true cost of your services can help you make better decisions, protect your profits and stop guessing.

Have you ever discounted a service because you felt guilty? 👇🏻

27% of all hair colour mixed in salons ends up as waste.

Think about that for a second.

Every bowl of unused colour doesn’t just increase your colour bill — it also takes roughly 2 litres of water to wash it away.

That’s wasted product.
That’s wasted water.
That’s wasted profit.

Small changes in how we measure, mix and manage colour can have a huge impact on both the environment and the bottom line.
