With many salons still figuring out how to reopen and make money amidst the pandemic, PRAVANA decided to S.T.E.P. Up to help out. The brand today announced its Stylist Transform & Empowerment Program (S.T.E.P.), a comprehensive initiative designed to help the salon and stylist community rebuild with rollback pricing on the brand’s best-selling color line, a $1M investment to convert color without commitment and the ultimate salon transformation sweepstakes.

“It has always been our promise to stylists to be a supportive partner and to empower them through everything we do,” says Michelle Chandler, PRAVANA general manager. “We believe that they deserve a brand who stands behind them. To honor our truest commitment to our community, we made the decision to launch this initiative to bring them purposeful value and benefit that will help them rebuild. With S.T.E.P. Up, not only do we want to provide immediate support, but we also want to lay the groundwork for their future success.”

Step 1: Lowering the price. PRAVANA has lowered the price of its best-selling color line ChromaSilk to just $4.99 a tube. As salons are rebuilding, these savings help put money back in stylists’ pockets when they need it most. At just $0.80 per mixed ounce, PRAVANA’s ChromaSilk offers long-lasting color with brilliant shine, up to 100 percent gray coverage and a heavy dye load. The rollback pricing applies to ChromaSilk Permanent Creme Hair Color, ChromaSilk VIVIDS Everlasting and ChromaSilk Express Tones.

Step 2: Convert without commitment. PRAVANA is making an investment in stylists’ long-term savings with its all-new color conversion initiative, putting $1M worth of hair color into the hands of the community. Tube-for-tube, stylists can trade out their current unused color brand for PRAVANA with no commitment and no minimum purchase. For stylists trading 36 tubes or more, PRAVANA will provide a free swatch book, a $60 value, and a downloadable ChromaSilk 101 class, a $500 value. By making the switch to PRAVANA, stylists can save thousands of dollars to help them build savings, turn larger profits, invest in new salon updates and more. Check out how much you can save by using the Cost Calculator that compares other leading color brands to the brand’s price point.
