Are you overspending on products—or not investing enough to deliver consistent results?
In this lesson, we break down the 5% backbar rule, a simple formula used by top-performing salons to stay stocked, maintain quality, and protect profit margins.
Using real-world numbers:
• $20,000/month → $1,000 backbar budget
• $40,000/month → ~$1,700–$2,000 (4–5% range)
You’ll learn how to:
✔️ Calculate your ideal backbar spend
✔️ Avoid the two biggest mistakes (overbuying vs. underinvesting)
✔️ Create consistency in both results and revenue
💡 Action Step:
Calculate your current percentage and compare it to the 5% benchmark—are you operating efficiently or leaving money on the table?
