- Less chemical damage : reducing attempts and errors means saving on discoloration and expensive reconstructions
- Maintenance Planning : When viewing the color, you already identify if it requires weekly toner or quarterly retouching.
- Quick consultation with the professional : the preview saves speeds up in the salon, because the colorist sees the goal in seconds
