Save every formula. Recall every client. Mix with confidence. ColorLabPro is the AI-powered formula book built for professional hair colorists. Point your camera at any hair and get the level, undertone, and exact formula in seconds. THE AI SCANNER Point your phone at any hair client, inspiration photo, or live look and ColorLabPro reads the level (1–10), undertone, and porosity instantly. It then recommends the exact formula: shade codes, grams, developer volume, and processing time. No more guessing. No more "I think it was a 6 and something copper." SAVE EVERY FORMULA Build a permanent color library. Every formula stores: • Shade codes and gram weights • Developer volume and processing time • Technique (full color, highlights, balayage, toner) • Client notes and photos YOUR COMPLETE CLIENT HISTORY Walk into every appointment already knowing what you did last time. ColorLabPro shows each client's full color timeline — base, target, what worked, what to adjust — so you spend your consultation time listening, not remembering. PROCESSING TIMER One tap starts the timer the moment you put the bowl down. You get a notification when it's done. Log up to 5 clients in a session. Never lose track of who's processing. COLOR EDUCATION BUILT IN Level and tone charts, porosity guides, developer rules, gray coverage percentages, toner neutralisation, vivid color prep — all organized in one place. Perfect for new colorists and experienced pros who want a quick reference at the chair. WORKS OFFLINE Your formula library is always available, even without signal. No service, no WiFi, no problem. DESIGNED FOR THE SALON Dark theme that's easy to read in a dimly lit salon. Large tap targets that work with gloved hands. Bottom-sheet menus that don't require navigation. --- Trusted by professional hair colorists. Built by someone who's stood at the chair.
