POTION 9 COLLECTION

SALON NAME: THE HARLOT SALON SALON LOCATION: LOS ANGELES, CA OWNER: MARYLLE KOKEN TITLE: SEBASTIAN PROFESSIONAL LOS ANGELES

CREATIVE AMBASSADOR IG: @KOKENTHEHARLOT TT: @MARYLLEKOKEN

WHY ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT THE POTION 9 COLLECTION? Potion 9 has been an iconic product for years, so expanding it into a complete collection just makes sense. Products are lightweight, easy to layer, and incredibly salon-friendly, making them simple to incorporate into every service. It gives new life to the original Potion 9 and creates a complete routine that’s easy for stylists to recommend and easy for clients to use at home. From the pro side, the treatment is everything we need, it’s light, easy to apply, and creates a completely different experience for the client. When Gabbriette came in, she needed damage control. I needed to bring moisture back into her hair and create a foundation that would make her hair look and feel its best. From cleansing to treatment to styling, she needed the Potion 9 magic. USAGE, BENEFITS & SALON VALUE Fresh off her 2026 NAHA Haircutting Award win, Marylle Koken continues to inspire stylists through her artistry behind the chair and as Sebastian Professional’s Los Angeles Creative Ambassador. A longtime Sebastian artist, Marylle recently showcased the new Potion 9 Treatment while creating a customized look for her client, Gabriette, a well-known model, singer, and chef, highlighting how the service enhances both the in-salon experience and stylist's business. Here, Marylle shares why the Potion 9 Collection has become an essential part of her salon.

As a salon owner, I love services that are easy to incorporate into an appointment while creating value for both the client and the stylist. The Potion 9 Treatment processes in just 10 minutes, making it a simple add-on to almost any service. It’s an easy application that can add $35–$45 to the service ticket while giving clients an elevated in-salon experience they’ll remember.

PRO TIP: Don’t save the treatment for the shampoo bowl. Mix it at your station so your

client can see the process and become part of the experience. It makes the service feel more personalized, helps clients understand the treatment, and naturally opens the conversation about taking the Potion 9 Collection retail products home.

THE 2025 P&L STUDY:

DATA, INSIGHTS, & TRENDS ON SALON PROFITABILITY For the second year running, the Qnity Institute, in collaboration with independent CPAs, analyzed the financials of 157 salon locations representing more than $300 million in combined revenue. Built from actual profit and loss statements, not surveys or opinions, the 2025 P&L Study delivers an objective look at where the industry really stands. Benchmarks across 17 key performance indicators are evolving, and the data reveals what separates top-performing salons from the rest.

2025

SALON P&L STUDY DATA & INSIGHTS • Profitability • Benchmarks • Industry Trends

FOR EVERY DOLLAR COMING IN, WHAT’S LEFT? LABOR — 60¢ At 60% of sales, labor is by far the largest salon expense. The most profitable salons hold total labor costs to 53.5%, a 6.5-point edge that flows directly to profit. The difference lies less in service pay and more in benefits, non-service payroll, and support staff costs.

OPERATING EXPENSES — 17¢ 17 cents funds the operational engine: software, supplies, credit card fees, utilities, and more. No single line item dominates, which makes this category easy to overlook. Top performers simply manage dozens of smaller expenses more effectively.

PRODUCTS — 13¢ Products consume 13 cents of every dollar for retail inventory and professional supplies. Retail mix averages 12% of total sales across all participants, top performers included. The most profitable salons manage product costs with discipline and protect their margin.

SPACE — 7¢ 7 cents to rent, but the story is what’s done with the space. Top performers generate $769 per square foot versus $602 for the average, with footprints nearly 25% smaller. Space decisions echo for years. The most profitable salons fill what they lease.

PROFIT — 3¢ After everything else, the average salon nets 3 cents on the dollar. The top 25% keep 10.5 cents, more than three times as much. The gap isn’t one big thing. It’s small advantages in every category, compounded with discipline.

Scan the QR code to learn how to participate in future studies. Participants get the full report and a direct look at how their numbers compare. Your data is confidential, and more salons means even better data.

Thank you to Wella and our Qnity Institute sponsors for making groundbreaking research on salon compensation and profitability possible, and for helping bring iQ to life. This support fuels the insights that move the industry forward. 15

Reasons I love Shinefinity

IG: @signature.hairsalon

I’m always thinking about how my client’s color is going to look months after they leave my chair. Longevity has been a huge focus of my brand for years, so I’m genuinely excited to have something like Wella’s ULTIMATE COLOR care line to support that. It’s truly one of a kind! This isn’t just “color-safe.” The metal purifier actually helps preserve the color by targeting the metals sitting on the hair, the things that cause fading and shifting. The result is cleaner, brighter, richer-looking hair that stays that way longer. It’s something you can truly see and feel. Why I choose Blondor is it's reliable, predictable and controlled. But now (just like their color lines) BlondorPlex 9 has their Metal Purifier technology also built in! As stylists, we can do everything right, but if there are metals sitting in the hair, it can completely throw off the result. Since using a BlondorPlex 9 with metal purifier, I’m seeing more controlled lifts, truer tones, and healthier hair overall. It’s one of those behind the scenes details that makes a very visible and longer lasting difference.

Founder & Master Stylist

I love Shinefinity because of the finish and feel of the hair. I adore the luxury shiny appearance and leaves the client’s hair feeling smooth and hydrated, just like a treatment.

IG: @salon718

"I love the new Wella SmoothFiller treatment. As a stylist and salon owner, I’m

As a colorist, I love the zero-lift technology, allowing me to get beautiful deposit without disturbing the client's natural hair. I love to reach for this when I want to create something more translucent than the opacity of color touch and want to see more natural dimension shine through. It is my go-to for my root smudges and gives my blondes that “wow factor”.

always looking for services that deliver real results without compromising the health and integrity of the hair—and SmoothFiller checks every box. The finish is unbelievably silky, the hair feels lighter, and the manageability is next-level. My clients are amazed at how frizz-free, shiny, and smooth their hair stays, even in humidity. What I appreciate most is that it enhances the natural texture instead of fighting against it, giving a refined, polished look that still feels authentic.

Shinefinity has allowed me to offer more services on my menu with their 5-minute express color, perfect for the client that wants a gloss, but may be in a time crunch. Clients rave about the shine and feel of their hair after a Shinefinity glaze and come back asking for it again next time!

Pro Tip to other stylists: never skip the scale. Measuring your lightener is crucial. 1:2 ratio for feathering into balayage, 1:1.5 ratio for fine detail work is optimal, and 1:1 ratio for wet balayage is perfection.

Michaella Williams, Founder & Master Stylist

This treatment has quickly become one of my personal favorites because it’s gentle, consistent, and truly transforms the everyday styling experience for our clients. It’s the perfect balance between smoothing and maintaining movement, and the results are long-lasting without the harshness of traditional smoothing systems."

IG:

@kayleigh.does.my.hair @pratpartners DEMI-PERMANENT SMOOTHING TREATMENT

Pro Tip: My tip for anyone wanting to grow their glossing services is to think of it as your topcoat on your nails — the service just isn’t finished without it, and with the 5-minute flash glazes, there is an opportunity for everyone!

[SALON TESTIMONIAL]

THE BIRD HOUSE SALON STE 204 BROOKLYN, NY 11215 & BUSHWICK 456 JOHNSON AVE., SUITE 406 BROOKLYN NY 11237

WHY WELLA? Two reasons. First, our team wanted it. That was the loudest signal. When your stylists are telling you they want to feel more inspired by the line they’re using every day, you listen. Color is so essential to what we do, and if the people behind the chair aren’t lit up by their tools, that energy ends up in the work whether you want it to or not. The other piece was the support. The Wella team has been on top of it in a way that’s just a different league. More classes, more options, more responsiveness. We feel like we have a partner now, not a vendor. HOW HAS WELLA HELPED YOU GROW COLOR? We’re about a month in, so it’s honestly too early to tell you we’ve grown anything yet. But what I can tell you is what the salon feels like, and it feels re-inspired. Any time you switch lines and you’re getting to know a new system, you’re seeing what it can do, especially with this many options, the artists start discovering tones they hadn’t gravitated to before. That’s the part we’re watching. We have stylists who wouldn’t necessarily call themselves colorists who are saying this line makes sense to them. They feel confident in their formulations. That’s how you grow color… you grow colorists first! 4

Illumina has been the biggest pleasant surprise. A lot of our team who’d worked with Wella before hadn’t actually used Illumina, and it’s gotten rave reviews. We love having that as another permanent option in the kit. The bigger picture is range. We have more flexibility now across demi, ammonia-free, gray coverage and blending. The technology behind how these formulas work gives us a wider palette of tones to pull from. If I were tipsy at a bar telling you the truth, I’d whisper that Wella offers the most options and the most consistency. It’s the most reliable, true-to-tone, expansive line that’s also somehow userfriendly. Being both easy and excellent is a magic trick we don’t really know how they pull off. It does what it says it’s going to do.

CO-OWNER OF DAVIDA SALON

OWNER NAME: Amy Murphy

USAGE, BENEFITS, AND SUPERIORITY OF WELLA COLOR VS THE COMPETITION I’ll give you a few angles on this. Our team is delivering blondes that look healthy. The hair feels good, it’s shiny, the integrity is there. One of our clients told us she loved her toner this time, said it was the best we’d ever done, said this is how I always wanted to look when I leave. With our previous line it would eventually settle into looking that good, but with Wella she walked out the door and it was already there. The shine quality is next level.

IG: @davidasalon

IG: @entouragesalonnj

"We love the choices. There is something for every hair type, but it is not overwhelming. Don't need a lot of product. Great smell. Prices are reasonable. Performs superior. Easy to distinguish the products and what they do. Attractive bottles. Color coded. Pro Tip: Cocktailing products to customize to the client's needs. We love adding Dark Oil to almost any styling product."

WHAT IS YOUR PRO TIP TO STYLIST? Reference the shade color wheel and pay attention to where those tones live on the scale. And in your education, do the swatch work. When we did swatches in our intro classes, that was the part everyone got excited about. Playing with colors you might be apprehensive to put on a client, getting familiar with the outcome, building that confidence before it carries risk.

BlondorPlex 9 is an intelligent system that protects the hair’s internal bonds during the lifting process. The primary benefit is achieving up to 9 levels of lift while reducing breakage by up to 97%*. What sets it apart is the integrated Metal Purifier technology in BlondorPlex 9, which neutralizes metals from hair during the service. In a city like NYC, where water quality can vary, this is a game-changer for ensuring clean, predictable, and healthy results. I always try to turn a routine appointment into an unforgettable, high-end experience and this product helps me help my clients that come to me from all over the world!

"We love Sebastian because it works and smells amazing. We use it for all aspects of service from shampooing to finishing. It is easy to explain and educate clients on and at a much more reasonable price point than other lines of this caliber. The clients really love the smell and find it easy to use as well. The restage has brought new life to this brand."

SERVICE OPPORTUNITY AND CLIENT EXPERIENCE The express services have been a real unlock for us. A stylist can add a gloss and have it done in 10 minutes. Same with a root touch-up. That kind of flexibility changes what we can offer same-day, what we can add on, how we adjust a service in the moment when a client wants a little more. It’s good for the client and it’s good for the business.

In the high-stakes world of New York hair design, blonde is more than a color—it’s a statement. The reason I am obsessed with the New BlondorPlex Restage is that it eliminates the fear of damage. What I love most is the confidence it gives me behind the chair; knowing that the Bond Builder and Metal Purifier are protecting the hair shaft while I’m creating bright reflections which allows me to push the boundaries of creativity without ever risking the integrity of the hair.

WHAT IS YOUR PRO TIP TO STYLISTS? My biggest tip is to Master the art of listening. Technique is the foundation, but tailoring the look to a client’s unique facial structure and lifestyle is true craftsmanship. Anyone can learn to cut hair, but empathy, vision and quality products are what turn a stylist into a true architect of style. 7
