About

POUR by Glamiris

Features
Read full description

**Professional color formulation, built into your salon workflow.** POUR by Glamiris gives salon professionals a dedicated workspace to create, mix, track and reuse color formulas β€” while staying connected to the client and appointment information already in Glamiris. **Everything is already connected** Your clients, appointments, services and salon products are available directly from Glamiris. No separate database to maintain and no waiting for information to sync between systems. **Build and save formulas** Create formulas for each client and service, choose developer ratios, add products, record notes and build a formula history that stays with the client. **Mix with precision** Follow your formula ingredient by ingredient while pouring. Use a compatible connected scale for live weighing, or record amounts manually when needed. **Know what was actually used** Reweigh the bowl after the service to calculate remaining product and actual usage. POUR by Glamiris proportionally calculates the amount used from each ingredient, helping create more accurate color records and usage data. **Mix more without starting over** Need another batch? Quickly mix more from the same formula and keep the complete service record together. **Made for the color station** POUR by Glamiris is intentionally separate from the main Glamiris app, making it ideal for a shared salon tablet at the color bar while keeping the experience focused on formulation and mixing. **Part of Glamiris** POUR by Glamiris is available for salons using Glamiris and works directly with the salon's existing Glamiris data and permissions. Your formulas. Your clients. Your color history. One connected salon ecosystem.
