Sign in with RedkenPro.com account: all that's needed is an online account to access the new platform. No special login. No special request form to fill out.
More customization: find two new ways to customize. Now salons can add their logo and change copy on printable materials themselves, or hire a certified creative designer to get unique content for their salon on their own.
Buy hardware for in-salon display: Redken has added purchasable-hardware that’s designed to match the size of your printed pieces. Now, salons can display a poster in a sleek lightbox or a-board for a more polished look.
Same great content and some: Redken has not removed any content that was originally available, but has instead added the product guide, deal sheets, and other business tools.
With the second pillar, Social Media Business Tools, Redken provides tips on how to effectively use the materials found within the Redken Asset Library while also offering in-depth education on how to strategize and execute social content at every level.

In addition to these digital opportunities, the Redken Salon Success Kit also provides users with access to existing technologies within Business Tools including calculators, education on retail, and links to a NEW business resource, Google My Business.
The Business Tools section also showcases why you should participate in these technologies as a salon owner and also how to do so. For example – Google My Business has lead to four times more clicks, calls, website visits, directions, and requests to visit the store, salons are viewed as two times more likely to be considered reputable, and 38% more likely to attract location visits.
The Redken Salon Success Kit will be continuously updated to offer more advanced offerings to salons to further customize their in-salon experiences so that they can “learn better, earn better, and live better.”
