Colour Formula and Development Record
Match last time's colour exactly, or change it on purpose, because the formula and the time it was left are written down rather than remembered.
Salon and studio · SA-08
A free printable salon colour stock sheet — full and part tubes counted shade by shade against your own par, with to-order, plus developer and lightener.
One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.
Print it and write on it
Fill it in type and save
The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
Order the shades you actually go through instead of the ones the rep suggests, and never find the shelf empty mid-application.
Salon owners, colourists and whoever does the stock order for the colour bar.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: The colour shelf counted shade by shade — tubes on the shelf, tubes open at the backwash, what you like to hold, and what to put on the order.
Your par, from your own usage. The 'hold' column is your own par: the number of tubes of that shade you want on the shelf, from how often it goes through the mixing bowl. No stock levels are printed here. Count opened tubes as part tubes so the order is not short.

Table, 4 rows: Product · Strength / type · Size · Full · Part · Hold · To order · Notes
Because how many tubes of a shade you should keep depends on how often it goes through the bowl in your salon, and that is different from the salon next door. The figure is yours; the sheet just makes the count against it quick.

See what the chair actually made after rent, stock and costs each week, and hold a receipt number for every rent payment.
Count stock area by area and see the variance beside the count, so a stock take produces a number you can act on rather than a vague reassurance.
See at a glance what has fallen below the level you want to keep, so staples get reordered before a recipe stops and duplicates stop accumulating behind them.
Every sheet, binder, game and puzzle on Upkeep Papers is free to download, with no email and no account. Making them is not free: each one takes days of research, design and checking, and the site costs money to run. If something here saved you time, you can buy us a coffee. It is entirely optional: nothing is locked, and nothing changes if you don’t.
