Color Bar Manager makes colour easier to manage.
After nearly 30 years of owning salons, working behind the chair, and teaching as a global colour educator, Janine Simons wanted a simpler way to understand what was happening with colour in the salon. Color Bar Manager came from that need.
The goal is simple: less guesswork, clearer charging, and better ordering.
Why Janine started it
Janine kept seeing the same pattern in salon life: colour is one of the most creative parts of the business, but it is also one of the easiest places for money to leak out.
After asking her own team to track colour waste, she expected a few grams here and there. Instead, they needed a bigger bucket. That was the moment it clicked. The issue was not effort or care. It was visibility.
What started as a practical system in her own salon became Color Bar Manager, so owners could see usage more clearly, charge with more confidence, and make ordering decisions with less guesswork.
What the product helps with
Clearer charging
See where extra grams, extra bowls, and small misses are quietly changing service cost.
Better ordering
Understand what is actually moving through the salon so ordering feels steadier and less reactive.
Less drift
Spot waste, overmixing, and shelf blind spots earlier, before they become normal.
What makes it different
Color Bar Manager started as Janine’s own way of working before it became software. That is why it is meant to feel practical from the start, not only after a long rollout.
It helps salons charge more clearly, order with less guesswork, reduce waste, and feel more confident in the numbers around colour.
