Treatments
• Treatments, like colours, require products, but – There is very little service time to track– Commission same as for retail (10%) and not that usually
awarded for other service (30%)
• Treatments services therefore need to be sold as a service on the bill, but tracked separately for commission purposes because:– Not all treatments products are single use; some come in large
tubs so selling treatment product will affect stock figures– Selling the treatment product as retail, when in fact a service
was done in salon, falsifies the true Retail %
