Colour management software Vish appoints NZ & AUS Head Of Sales & Operations
Aygun Sana has been appointed as Head of Sales and Operations across Australia and New Zealand for Colour Management Software business Vish. Vish is a global tech pioneer built to effortlessly revolutionise how salons and stylists run their colour business, and Aygun will lead the expansion of this technology to help salon owners reduce their colour waste and increase profitability.
“Aygun’s experience, first with a major salon software provider before taking on a variety of responsibilities within a number of manufacturers, has made him perfect to move forward with Vish,” said Vish founder and CEO Joshua Howard. “His journey from technology provider through to sustainable, clean colour with O&M means he has a unique insight in how technology and colour meld to guarantee greater profitability, easier stock management and less impact on the environment.”
Vish was developed in Canada in 2018 and has since diverted millions of kilograms of colour from becoming waste since it launched in 2018. Salons new to Vish have reported an immediate uplift of 15 per cent in revenue, as the technology automatically informs the front desk of all colour used, while waste is reduced by as much as 40 per cent. The technology is data-driven and intelligently automated and can be integrated with multiple point-of-sale systems to address colour waste, ambiguous pricing and profit margins.
The Vish colour management system allows stylists to weigh colour on the Vish Bluetooth scale and then reweigh it to record how much is left at the end of the service. The system then refines the formula for that client, remembering the percentages but adjusting the quantities so there is no waste at the next visit. It also itemises the exact cost of all colour used so owners not only know exactly how much to charge to protect profits but also have the option of introducing an additional colour charge.
“Vish is what we’ve been waiting for. Salons can finally get ahead of colour waste, which drains profitability out of nearly every technical service,” said Aygun, who has worked in hairdressing for more than 20 years. “It’s the biggest complaint owners have. They are acutely aware they pay for surplus colour mixed and then wasted. It is one of, if not the most expensive problem in our industry in terms of profit and the planet.”
