Why We Use a Product + Labor Pricing Model at Sprout Salons
At Sprout Salons, our mission goes beyond beautiful hair—we’re committed to fairness, sustainability, and transparency in everything we do. That’s why we’ve adopted a product + labor pricing model for our color services. This approach ensures each guest pays a price that’s fair, accurate, and tailored to their individual needs, while helping us reduce product waste and support sustainable beauty.
What is Product + Labor Pricing?
Traditional salon pricing often uses flat rates based on service type, regardless of the actual amount of time or product used. But not all hair is the same—and neither are the resources required to achieve your desired look.
With our product + labor model:
- Labor refers to the time and expertise your stylist invests during your appointment.
- Product is measured digitally using a color scale, tracking the exact amount of color used in grams.
Each formula is saved and recorded for consistency and transparency, so we can accurately reference your usage at future visits.
Why We Chose This Model
We believe in fair pricing that reflects the true cost of your service. Someone with long, thick hair shouldn’t pay the same as someone with a short pixie when it comes to color application. With this model, your cost is aligned with what’s actually used on your hair—not an average guess.
We also care deeply about reducing waste. By measuring every gram of color, we only mix what’s needed, minimizing product overuse. This supports our partnership with Davines, a company known for eco-conscious, sustainable beauty practices.
How It Benefits You
- Transparency: You see exactly what you’re paying for—no hidden costs or flat-rate fees that don’t match your hair needs.
- Consistency: Your color formula and usage are saved to your profile, ensuring predictable results and pricing.
- Sustainability: Less waste means a lighter environmental footprint and a cleaner, more efficient salon experience.
