Colour formulas

For colour salons, the formula is the relationship. A client comes back six months later and you want to know exactly what mix she had — without scrolling through WhatsApps from January.

Chairtime stores colour formulas against the client record. After every colour service, log the formula. Next visit, it’s right there.

Open the client (/platform/clients → tap a name) and switch to the Colour Formula tab.

  1. Client detail page → Colour Formula tab.
  2. Formula — free text. Whatever shorthand you use is fine (“60g 7/43 + 30g 7/0 + 6% peroxide 1:2”, or “Wella Koleston 9/0”).
  3. Developer — short note (“6%”, “20 vol”).
  4. Processing time (min) — number, optional.
  5. Result notes — what happened, what to tweak next time.
  6. Tap Save formula. It lands at the top of the colour history with the current date.

Every saved formula shows in a list under the form, newest at the top, with the date. There is no edit-in-place — re-log a new formula at the next visit and the history grows.

  • Structured brand / product-line / shade fields — formulas are a single free-text field
  • Backdated entries with a custom date — every save is timestamped to now
  • Editing a saved formula — log a new one at the next visit instead
  • Photo attachments — on the roadmap
