Kolora

Kolora is a tool for colourists and hair stylists — not a consumer app. Photograph your client's hair, answer a few short diagnostic questions, and get a professional colour formula you can mix straight away: shades, mixing ratios, developer volume and processing time. What you can do • Fast scan — one photograph of the hair, from the camera or the gallery. • Diagnosis — natural base, current condition, colour build-up and the goal. • Formula — a professional mix with ratios, in the colour brand you work with. • Simulation — a preview of the likely result before you start applying. • Client records — colour history, past formulas, notes and before/after photos. • Professional chat — follow-up questions about a formula without leaving it. Who it is for Colourists, hair stylists and salon owners. The service is for adult professionals (18+). It replaces the guesswork of judging by eye — it does not replace your professional judgement. Worth knowing The formula is a recommendation. Patch testing, product suitability and the final result remain the professional's responsibility. Get your client's consent before uploading their photograph. Account and subscription Registration is required, and using the app requires a Kolora Unlimited subscription — unlimited analyses — in one of three billing periods: • Monthly — $19.99/month, the first week free • 6 months — $99 every 6 months • Yearly — $179/year The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Manage or cancel the subscription in your Apple Account subscription settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SalonCentric at none against Kolora's 3. Kolora's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
