In the salon, time isn’t just money—it’s sanity. A smooth setup keeps your service flow steady, your clients happy, and your brain un-frazzled. If you’re ready to speed things up without sacrificing results, here’s how a few Quality Touch staples can make every minute behind the chair count.
1) Cut the prep—use rolled foils + dispensers
Pre-cut, pop-up sheets are often seen as the fastest way to get foils in and move on. No tearing. No measuring. Just grab and go. But what happens when you’re wasting precious time fumbling with a box? Dropping sheets on the floor? Never having the right length for the hair you’re working with? That’s where the combination of rolled foils and dispensers come in extra handy.
Why you’ll love it:
● No fumbling with a flimsy box or struggling to separate sheets
● Customize size = reduce waste, increase convenience
● Keeps your station clean + organized
✨ Pro Tip: Stock a mix of Patterned Foils for those clients who love a little personality.
lineup to match your setup.
2) See the lift—check less—with REVEAL Transparent Film
When you can literally see what’s happening to your color in real-time, you can stop opening, peeking, and re-folding foils. REVEAL transparent film is crystal clear for the perfect window into processing and designed with smart-adhesion technology – only sticking to the product in the hair (not itself or your gloves), so your sections stay neat and processing stays on track.
Why you’ll love it:
● Crystal-clear monitoring without disturbing saturation
● Smart adhesion = no more fighting against irritating stickiness
● Ideal for balayage, color melts, vivids, color mapping, and even layering with foil
✨ Pro Tip: Keep both on hand—classic Balayage Films for everyday balayage techniques and REVEAL Transparent Film when you want something that goes the extra mile.
3) Faster finishes with the right brushes
Clean sections and controlled saturation cut down on do-overs, which is where your color brushes come into play. A well-balanced, ergonomic handle, the right bristle density, and optimal brush width make your artistry behind the chair truly shine.
Why you’ll love our brushes:
● Soft, feathered bristles create natural, seamless blends
● Comfortable handles for long color sessions
● Multipacks give you the tools you need for tons of different color techniques
● Made of eco-friendly wheat fiber, not plastic
✨ Pro Tip: Start with our Multipack collection to try them all and then add to your collection with extras of your fav - like the Painter for blending and balayage.
4) Small add-ons that prevent big slowdowns
Little things save big time when your day is stacked.
● Blade covers: Protect your hands and your tool between services with Dispenser Blade Covers. No hunting for tape or makeshift guards.
● Maggies (magnetic side panels): Ever wanted to make your dispenser feel like “you”? Color-code stations or swap designs seasonally so stylists can find “their” dispenser at a glance. Grab Maggies for Double Dispensers or Maggies for Single Dispensers.
5) Want a quick setup? Start with a kit.
If you’re outfitting a new station (or a whole team), a pre-built bundle is the quickest way to get rolling—literally. Check out the Professional Color Artist Kit – Single Dispensers and Professional Color Artist Kit - Double Dispensers to cover essentials without piecing everything together.
