Keep track of professional lightening and after-color care product costs to know the exact price of each service and automatically deduct materials during every client visit.
Starta.one is the AI CRM for service businesses. Everything for running a Hair Salon in one system — from client booking to revenue analytics — while AI handles the routine. Over 1,000 businesses already run on Starta.
When a client books a combo like "cut + style" or a restorative hair botox, you know exactly how much mask or finishing product is left on the shelf. No more manual stocktaking every evening — each portion of styling product or care ampoule is automatically deducted at checkout. This lets stylists focus on creativity, while admins reorder scarce items on time, avoiding chair downtime due to missing supplies for toning or professional cleansing.
Every call interrupts your work. The client in the chair waits, and the caller might not reach you and book elsewhere. You lose quality and bookings.
Lost entries, time mix-ups, double bookings. A paper journal can't remind clients about appointments or show available slots online.
In hair salons, after rent, professional materials are the biggest expense. When a stylist performs lightening or complex coloring like balayage, dye consumption can vary greatly depending on the client’s hair density and length. Without clear inventory tracking, the owner only sees the total purchase amount but doesn’t know the true cost of each visit. This leads to situations where a service seems profitable, but overspending on expensive pigments brings actual earnings close to zero.
Implementing detailed tech cards automates this process and makes it transparent. Every procedure, whether keratin straightening or hair botox, has clearly defined consumption norms for main products and related supplies. When closing an order, the system automatically deducts these items from inventory. If a client needs extra toning due to large hair volume, the stylist can manually adjust the used material amount directly in the check, ensuring accurate financial reports.
Additionally, automated inventory solves the problem of unexpected shortages of critical items. When daily chair occupancy is high, stylists often forget to notify the admin that lamination or a specific root color shade is out of stock. Automatic critical stock alerts allow timely restocking, avoiding downtime and client refusals for booked procedures. This creates a steady workflow and significantly boosts client trust in your salon’s professionalism.
Three day-to-day moments where the difference is obvious.

Keep precise counts of powder grams, oxidants, and toners per procedure to see real-time dye stock levels.
Inventory Management takes over the part of running a hair salon that quietly eats 1-2 hours a day — no spreadsheets, no chasing replies, no fatigue mistakes.
Keep precise counts of powder grams, oxidants, and toners per procedure to see real-time dye stock levels.
The system deducts shampoo, mask, and styling amounts after client visits based on set consumption norms.
Get instant reminders when hair botox or keratin runs low so you can reorder on time and avoid chair downtime.
Record sales of shampoos and conditioners in the same check as balayage or ombre services, boosting average ticket value.
Reconcile actual stock of polishes and serums with system data to spot discrepancies and prevent material losses.
AI tracks real consumption: 100 color treatments per month use 4 liters of dye base (40ml per treatment). 1 liter remains — AI alerts: "order 5 liters, will last until the 20th". Plus shampooing supplies — never run short of your signature products during busy weeks.
Tech card: 1 color = 40ml dye, 1 treatment = 60ml serum. AI compares weekly actual usage to standards — if 80 colors used 95ml dye per application (norm: 40ml), AI highlights "dye use +137% above standard". Helps catch technique issues or product loss before margins suffer.
The universal stylist enters all dyes, oxidants, and care products into the system, specifying volume in grams or milliliters for precise tracking of every drop.
For each service, like the "cut + style" combo or aircolor, material consumption norms are set and automatically deducted when closing the visit.

Yes. Add a product to any order alongside services. It deducts from inventory and adds to the total bill—one transaction, one receipt.
AI handles two things that usually eat your time: 1) Based on real consumption patterns over the last 4 weeks, it alerts you 7 days before an item runs out—with exact reorder amounts for your next scheduled delivery; 2) Every week it compares actual usage to your techcard recipes. If a stylist uses 30% more than allowed, you see it in the report so you can adjust the recipe or talk to the team before small waste becomes big waste. AI turns on automatically with inventory—nothing extra to enable.
You can set a base norm in the service’s tech card, and when closing the visit, the stylist — a universal pro — enters the actual weight of dye used for the most accurate write-off.
Yes, the system allows retail sales of shampoos or masks as separate transactions or adding them to the joint check with toning or haircut services for client convenience.
AI monitors dye, conditioner, serums, and treatment masks per service. It forecasts when stock ends and alerts 7 days ahead — "order 5 liters of dye, will last until the 25th". It also detects overuse by comparing actual write-offs to tech card standards, flagging technique drifts that waste expensive materials.
