What this sheet is for

Order the shades you actually go through instead of the ones the rep suggests, and never find the shelf empty mid-application.

Who it is for

Salon owners, colourists and whoever does the stock order for the colour bar.

How to use it

  1. Write the brand or range at the top; use one sheet per range.
  2. Count full tubes on the shelf and part tubes open at the backwash separately.
  3. Fill in your own hold figure — the number of tubes you want in stock of that shade.
  4. Work out what to order and write the date it went on the order.
  5. Count developer, lightener and bond products on the lower table.

What is on the sheet

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.

Tubes by shade — one line per shade or code, in shelf order

Developer, lightener and bond products — bottles and tubs, not tubes

Table, 4 rows: Product · Strength / type · Size · Full · Part · Hold · To order · Notes

Questions

Why is the hold column blank?

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.
