Company Description
CLICS, LLC was organized in the State of Delaware in January 2016. The Company’s mission is to improve salon hair color service quality while reducing operating costs. Hair coloring is the anchor service for most salons, generating 50% to 80% of revenues. The hair color products used to service clients represent the largest material expense for most salons. The effort and capital to purchase and maintain inventory levels is significant, and often leads to inventory shortages and reduced service quality. Hair color waste is surprisingly high, and a constant drag on financial performance.
