A method is provided for preparing a hair dye color mixture. The method includes: accessing a control system having at least a processor, a memory, and user input controls, the memory configured to store ingredients of a hair dye color mixture, each ingredient of the hair dye color mixture being from an initial product brand; receiving user input from the user input controls to change one or more ingredients of the hair dye color mixture from the initial product brand to one or more subsequent product brands; matching the color of the hair dye color mixture made from one or more ingredients of the initial product brand using one or more ingredients of the one or more subsequent product brands, in response to the user input; and displaying the ingredients of the hair dye color mixture in the one or more subsequent product brands on a display.

A garment, namely, a vest, may be worn by a barber or hair stylist for easily identifying, accessing, and storing multiple hair cutting tools, implements, and accessories. The vest has a plurality of retaining members, a means for adjusting the fit of the vest about the shoulders, chest, and waist, and an attachment assembly for removably attaching and coupling the vest to a backpack. The vest provides the barber with flexibility and mobility when giving someone else a haircut or a trim, or when engaging in other activities.

A shelf includes a first side edge and a second opposite side edge; a first lateral edge extending between the first and second side edges and having a lip extending substantially perpendicular to and away from a top surface of the shelf; and a second opposite lateral edge, extending between the first and second side edges and having a first lip extending substantially perpendicular to and away from a bottom surface of the shelf, and a second lip extending substantially perpendicular to the first lip back toward the shelf. Each of the side edges has tabs extending substantially perpendicular to and away from the bottom surface of the shelf, the tabs defining slots between respective tabs, and a slot between the first and second lips and one of the tabs. A tab most distal from the second laterally extending edge has a curved to engage a pin.

A hair extension packaging apparatus is disclosed and configured for supporting a plurality of hair extensions thereon. In at least one embodiment, the apparatus provides a substantially planar upper portion, a substantially planar lower portion spaced apart from the upper portion, and a transition portion interconnecting the upper and lower portions such that the upper and lower portions are linearly offset from one another. A front surface of the upper portion provides a plurality of mounting mechanisms positioned and configured for removably securing the hair extensions thereto. The transition portion provides at least one substantially planar aperture surface on which there is positioned at least one extension aperture configured for allowing a free length of at least one of the hair extensions to extend therethrough, such that the free length of said at least one hair extension is positioned substantially adjacent to a rear surface of the lower portion.
