PRAVANA launches new initiative to support salons and stylists

Today PRAVANA, a leading professional hair color brand, announced the launch of its Stylist Transform & Empowerment Program ‏(S.T.E.P.): a comprehensive initiative designed to help the salon and stylist community rebuild. The program, known as S.T.E.P. Up, introduces rollback pricing on the brand’s best-selling color line, a $1M investment to convert color without commitment and the ultimate salon transformation sweepstakes. PRAVANA is dedicated to empowering stylists by providing them with high-quality, affordable beauty solutions and knew that in time like now, it needed to step up for the community.

“It has always been our promise to stylists to be a supportive partner and to empower them through everything we do,” said 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.”

Raise the bar and lower the price. PRAVANA is the one of the first professional hair color brands to take back its pricing to help stylists, making its best-selling ChromaSilk color line available for just $4.99 a tube. As salons are rebuilding, these savings help put money back in stylists’ pockets when they need it most for more added value and profitable services. There’s no need to sacrifice quality for savings with ChromaSilk. 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.

Convert without commitment. PRAVANA is making a $1M 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 necessary. For stylists trading 36 tubes or more, PRAVANA will provide a free swatch book, valued at $60, 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 much-need long-term savings, turn larger profits, invest in new salon updates, and more.
