Getting Started & Design

How do I get started creating my own brand?

  1. Create an account and enter your VAT number. Once your details are verified, you'll get access to pricing information and our full range.
  2. Browse the range and select the products you want. Add them to your cart and complete your order.
  3. You'll receive a questionnaire to specify your preferences. Once submitted, our designer gets to work. As soon as you approve the design, your order is processed immediately.

What is SalonID's policy regarding designs?

Every design you submit to us must be respectful of others and fall within legal boundaries. By using SalonID's services, you agree to our guidelines for acceptable content and our Terms and Conditions. Designs deemed inappropriate — such as hateful, illegal designs or designs that infringe intellectual property rights — may be removed.

We ask that you respect the work of others. This means the design you submit must either be created by you, or you must have the legal right to use it. By uploading your design files, you confirm that you are fully responsible for the content of those files and that you have the right to print, use, sell, and distribute them.

Are design guidelines available?

Of course, we don't expect you to know it all!

We offer two types of guidance:

  1. A design solution through a questionnaire and designs we've selected based on market research and experience. This lets you create your own brand quickly and easily. Through an interactive questionnaire, you make your design choices. This way, you're guaranteed a consistent look, and when new products become available, the design will be carried through automatically. No extra costs, no extra worries.

  2. You can hire a graphic designer, who can get in touch with us so we can share the required documentation.

Should I design the label myself or hire a designer?

The choice is entirely up to you! If you're confident in your design skills, go ahead and create the design of your dreams. If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, though, it may be easier to leave the job to a professional designer.

If you don't know a designer who can help, consider using services like Upwork, Fiverr, or Freelancer.com to find one.

Please note: if you choose to work with an agency or freelancer, always check their portfolio and ask for references to make sure you're working with a skilled professional.

How should the products be stored?

To preserve the quality of your products, store them in a dry, cool place (ideally between 10-20 degrees Celsius) and out of direct sunlight. Excessive humidity and sunlight can negatively affect the condition of the products and may reduce their effectiveness over time.

Can I order free samples?

We don't offer free samples, but you can purchase a Sample Box at a reduced price. This lets you assess the quality of our products and printing before placing a larger order.

Please note: it's not possible to order individual products.

How long does it take to receive my personalized products?

Once we've received your design approval, processing takes 1-2 business days before the products are handed over to the postal service for shipping.

What is the minimum order quantity for personalized products?

The minimum order quantity for each product is shown on the individual product pages on our website.

Possible from as few as 4 units!

PRODUCTS & QUALITY

What makes SalonID's formulations unique?

At SalonID, our passion for perfection drives every product we develop. We believe a salon's strength lies not only in the stylist's skill, but also in the quality of the products used. That's why we've selected an exclusive blend of top-tier active ingredients: Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Vitamin C, Grape Seed Extract, Argan Oil, Vitamin E, Ceramide, Jojoba Oil, Aloe Vera, Vitamin B5, Hyaluronic Acid, UV Filter, and Pro Vitamin B5. These ingredients are carefully chosen for their proven effectiveness and synergy with hair, making them an essential part of every treatment you offer.

Our development process is as unique as our formulas. We dive deep into European market trends and incorporate the insights and feedback of hundreds of leading salons. This approach ensures our products not only meet the market's current needs, but also exceed your clients' expectations.

Partnering with SalonID means gaining access to the latest innovations in hair care. Our relationships with leading laboratories and production facilities result in products that embody the perfect harmony between nature and science. This synergy produces products that combine effectiveness with gentleness, showing respect for both your clients' hair and the environment.

How are products tested?

Our hair care products go through rigorous testing phases and processes to ensure their effectiveness and safety.

The formulation process begins by consulting ingredient suppliers' guidelines for the recommended use and concentration of each component. Sometimes we evaluate hundreds of samples to identify the optimal formula.

At SalonID, we firmly believe in beauty without cruelty. That's why we never test our products on animals. Instead, volunteer testers provide feedback on how their hair responds, along with subjective assessments, both of which are factored into refining the formula.

Once a product is formulated, it undergoes lab testing to measure various physical and chemical properties, determine stability, and establish the proper storage conditions. A qualified chemist also tests the product to ensure it meets legal requirements for safety and consistency. In addition, we send our products to external laboratories to verify the effectiveness of the chosen preservatives throughout the product's shelf life.

Finally, we examine the physical and chemical properties of every batch produced to ensure consistency with the approved lab version. This meticulous approach guarantees the exceptional quality and performance of our SalonID hair care products.

Are SalonID products vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes, absolutely! Every SalonID hair care product is carefully developed to be vegan and cruelty-free. This means they contain no ingredients or by-products of animal origin, and they're made with respect for animal welfare and the environment. By choosing our products, you help contribute to a kinder, more sustainable beauty industry — without compromising on the quality or effectiveness of your hair care.

Can I learn more about the products' ingredients?

Absolutely! Transparency is our top priority. That's why you'll find a full ingredient list on every product, so you can see exactly what's in each one.

Do SalonID products have an expiration date?

SalonID products have a shelf life of 12 months after opening.
