CTS doesn’t formulate or mix haircolor?
Formulation is a personal thing and is an outlet for creativity – seeing completed color provides a sense of accomplishment. CTS manages waste and the quality of color by providing perfect mixtures – this helps our planet by not pouring unneeded hair color down drains. This also helps stylists easily maintain, increase and value their knowledge. It is still a people business.

Does CTS works with a common element?
We know that all hair color is mixed with developer or processing solution. By monitoring, you know how much color is used and if it’s being wasted. Every stylist has a personal PIN that must be entered before activating CTS.

Does CTS prevent color waste?
After the amount has been determined, you can confirm if it was the proper amount for the client or if the service was under- charged. CTS provides a helpful report.

Does CTS monitor shrinkage and/or pilferage?
The main culprit of shrinkage is over use and under reporting of color on stylists and employees for their own services. By having to use their PIN to mix developer with color, you will know quantities and if payments were correct. Pilferage can be uncovered as well – when you order, if amounts exceed available inventory, you’ll know unmixed color was removed.

Is CTS compatible with all color lines?
All brands are mixed with developer, the container makes no difference. CTS is not concerned with color formulas, just quantity of color, which is why it’s easy to use.

Does CTS makes better hair color?
When you dispense the exact amount, you will have consistent hair color. Too much developer, the color may be too light or transparent and not cover grey. Too little developer, the color may go darker. When there is hair color failure, improper mixing ratios of developer and color are usually last in line over application, timing, mixing or coverage. This shouldn’t be the case.

Can CTS can also increase revenue when hair length is considered?
Sometimes more product is needed and that extra material does not always get charged for, making for unprofitable color service. Proper training on mentioning necessary material and additional charges, increases revenue.

Can the CTS be a good training aid?
The information downloaded can point out when a stylist is over-using color and it’s not necessary. This creates an opportunity for discussion about why they over-use: they’re afraid of not covering outgrowth; they fear not having enough and mix more. They don’t realize that more is not always better with color -– too much causes damage. CTS means better- trained stylists.
