The dye cost of one coloring with Color SHOCK is about €2.63 when roughly 60 ml of dye is used per service. A Color SHOCK 180 ml pack costs €7.90 — that is €0.044 per millilitre, or about 3 colorings per pack. A standard 60 ml professional pack costs around €11 (€0.183/ml), so one coloring uses up the whole pack. The difference is about €8 per coloring — roughly 76% lower dye cost.
The formula is simple: divide the pack price by its volume (price per millilitre), then multiply by the amount used per coloring.
At about 60 colorings per month, the dye cost with Color SHOCK would be ~€158 versus ~€660 with a standard 60 ml pack. Get your salon's exact figure with our price calculator.
