When a supplier offers you a kit for a new service, the question is always the same: what will it earn me? Answering takes four numbers: what the kit costs, how many services you get from it, what you charge, what you keep. Usually you work them out yourself, on paper or in your head.
With Kits that pay off the maths is already done, kit by kit, with your own prices.
The module as a PRO salon sees it. In this picture the investment and margin are hidden: when you log in, you see the figures calculated with your prices.
Where to find it
Log in with your PRO account: the module is on the homepage, after Quick Order. Only PRO salons see it, because the figures are based on your reserved prices.
What each card tells you
- The service, for example keratin smoothing, molecular reconstruction or anti-yellow, with brand and indicative duration.
- You invest: the price of the kit at your PRO price.
- Services per kit: how many complete services you can do with one kit.
- Suggested service price: a reference price for your client, based on mid-to-upper range Swiss salons. Your price list is your decision.
- Estimated margin: suggested price × number of services, minus the cost of the kit.
- When it pays for itself: after how many services the kit is paid back. Today, at PRO prices, the first service is enough for every kit.
Kits are sorted from the highest margin. On a computer you scroll with the arrows, on your phone with your finger. "View kit" opens the product page with the contents of the kit and the protocol.
An example with public figures
Take the Liss Komplex Pro Kit by Edelstein:
- 10 smoothing services per kit;
- suggested service price 380 CHF;
- about 120 minutes per service.
Ten services at 380 CHF make 3’800 CHF of indicative revenue. Even after deducting the full retail price of the kit (158.40 CHF), more than 3’600 CHF remain. At your PRO price the margin is higher still, and the module shows it to you exactly.
An honest word of caution: that margin pays for your work. In this example that means about 20 hours in the chair, plus the fixed costs of the salon. That is exactly why you see it written down: to understand whether a service is worth your time, before you buy.
Which services you find
Today the module brings together the complete service kits by Code Zero, Edelstein, NIKA and cliCHair: anti-yellow for blondes and silver hair, molecular reconstruction, keratin smoothing, nanoplasty, curl definition and regenerating treatment. A kit appears only if it is truly self-sufficient, with everything you need for the full service, and disappears by itself when it is sold out.
Why it is good news for your salon
- You decide with numbers, not by feeling. You see straight away which service earns most for what you invest.
- A price list ready to use. You have a reference price to propose the service, to adapt to your area and your clientele.
- Honest figures. The suggested price is shown only on kits that contain the whole service, never on a single product.
- Everything in one place. From the module you go to the kit page and then to your order.
The other tools in your PRO area

FAQ
Is the margin shown my net profit? No. It is the margin before labour and fixed costs: it only deducts the cost of the kit. It helps you compare kits and understand how much value each service creates.
Do I have to use the suggested price? No. It is a reference based on mid-to-upper range Swiss salons: in a city centre it may be higher, in a neighbourhood salon lower. You set the price.
Why does a kit not appear? The module only shows kits that contain everything for the complete service, and hides kits that are sold out. You can still find all kits in the catalogue.
I do not see the module. You need to be logged in with a verified PRO account.
