Find Your Purpose Find Your Drive | Alicia Soulier Founder of Salon Scale. From award-winning stylist to entrepreneur, Alicia Soulier has dedicated over 16 years to the beauty industry. As the owner and creative director of Capelli Salon Studio for over 10 years, Alicia noticed a leak in her business that was directly affecting her bottom line: the color bar. Without the proper technology to account for the cost of hair color, many color sessions were walking out the door unpaid for. This discovery led to the creation of SalonScale, an advanced hair salon back bar software that has now earned Alicia the title of "tech founder" into her portfolio. Today Alicia intends to use technology to disrupt the hair salon supply chain and ultimately create a healthier economic ecosystem in the hair industry. SalonScale: https://salonscale.com/ SalonScale is a hair color management software that allows salons to separate their parts from labor to ensure that every color session is being paid for. Using a mobile app, SalonScale enables you to know your color costs in real-time as you mix, so salons can start accounting for the cost of each session and monitor their inventory levels more efficiently.
