For its Black Friday offer, Vish is helping both new customers and existing ones with special savings offers heading into 2023.

Vish has gone big on offers for November sale seekers keen to shrink costs in 2023, but it’s not just new customers who are set to win. The pioneering color management system has also created a Black Friday offer that will make its thousands of existing happy customers even happier.
Vish is inviting potential new customers toSpin to Winon a range of fabulous offers throughout November. From a free scale and free onsite training to 100% off setup and more, it’s an opportunity to receive up to $1,000 off when you sign up for Vish.
Meanwhile, existing customers who have already seen an immediate uplift in revenue thanks to Vish capturing previously missed services, reducing their inventory costs, and guaranteeing profit can secure a $150 credit by referring a salon with two or more chairs to Vish.
“Don’t think Black Friday, think ‘Capturing Color Every Day’ as that’s where elusive profit is hiding. Vish will help you find it,” says Tim Howard, Chief Innovation Officer at Vish. “Over the past four years, Vish has allowed salons and independents to increase revenue by thousands of dollars thanks to intelligent systems and controlled pricing, so all color dispensed is paid for while waste is eliminated. Vish guarantees a profit.”
The intention is to highlight how business owners can stabilize their costs going into 2023 and safeguard their future by automating their color bar. Rising energy and product prices are hitting salons hard but Vish salons are able to reduce costs by cutting out over-mixing and over-application that results in millions of grams of unused color being rinsed down the sink. Vish also ensures 100% of services such as expensive toners and treatments are not missed off the ticket by stylists. Every gram of color dispensed is automatically recorded and priced, then sent to the front desk to be added to the total ticket.
The Spin to Win deal is available to all salons and single service providers upon sign up throughout November. Meanwhile, existing customers will receive a $150 Vish credit when they refer a salon with two or more chairs. Both offers expire on November 30, 2022.
