Vamp Up Colour with Vish 2.0

Six years ago Vish was a disrupter brand, destined to revolutionise the colour service. Now, it’s a salon staple eradicating lost profits on over-mixed colour which was thrown away. We hear from John Spanton, general manager at ARKIVE by Adam Reed in London as they upgrade to Vish 2.0.

For Vish customers, stock replenishment and per-application costs are down, while revenue and profits are up. However, technology moves at a frightening speed, and while the award-winning development team at Vish has enriched and improved the technology constantly since launch, sometimes you just need to park what you have and rebuild bigger and better.

It’s what Apple and Microsoft do. Installing the brand new Windows 12 when it arrives later this year will happen seamlessly, just as upgrading to Vish 2.0 was seamless for Adam Reed’s London salon.

“Vish has been amazing for us,” says John. “We’ve had it for just under a year and since then we’ve reduced the cost of unused product significantly. So when we heard a new, even better Vish was being launched, we signed up immediately to be at the front of the queue.”

In March, the salon seamlessly migrated to the new system Vish 2.0. For the team, it meant a more streamlined experience, with easier searching and fewer clicks to achieve consistency in their colour formulations. Additional features like ‘Plan Ahead’ give stylists greater access to existing formulas from their phones allowing them to pre-plan services while an enhanced ‘Mix More’ feature makes mixing additional colour swift and intuitive. The faster processing of Vish 2.0 has made it quicker to use, even on older iPads and tablets.

Integration with the major salon software providers has been refined, boosting the experience for stylist, owner and front desk team. Real-time updating during service on the Front Desk app has eliminated any lag between dispensing and passing data to the salon’s front desk. Now when billing, all expenses are immediately accounted for, securing profitability by showing exactly how much colour is used and the additional services’ cost.

“We really value the live updating in our busy salon as we need all the info at the right time to allow correct billing and smooth transitioning of clients,” adds John.

At Adam Reed, where expertise is prized, the increased level of sophistication within appointments, enabled through salon software integration, is maximising client care and management oversight.

“From the start Vish powered up our colour service, and the latest update has made it even easier to deliver the best service possible to our clients,” concludes John.

Vish 2.0 is being rolled out now to all salons, delivering greater efficiency and powerful profits. Existing clients looking to upgrade to Vish 2.0 or future clients interested to learn more visit getvish.co.uk.
