Claim 5:
6. A system for preparation of a hair dye mixture, the system comprising:
a control system having a processor, a computer-readable memory, and a display, wherein the memory contains software configured to receive a formula defining instructions for blending a hair dye mixture using two or more dye blending materials and amounts recommended for the hair dye mixture, the memory further storing customer information and customer history data, the customer history data including customer hair dye mixtures and customer photographs;
software stored in the computer-readable memory and executed by the control system, the software configured to indicate on the display the recommended amounts of the dye blending materials; and
custom color software stored in the computer-readable memory and executed by the control system, wherein upon receiving input prompting creation of a hair dye custom color mixture, the custom color software:
prompts a user to select or enter two or more dye blending materials;
monitors for an amount corresponding to the two or more dye blending materials;
creates a hair dye mixture based upon the selected or entered dye blending materials and the corresponding amounts; and
saves the custom hair dye mixture, wherein the saving includes calculating a total batch volume based on gravity of the individual ingredients, storing the total batch volume for future reference to permit batch size scaling of the recipe, and storing a record with a precise amount of each ingredient dispensed, wherein the record includes a customer name, an amount each ingredient dispensed, and a date of the dispensing.
