The control system has a processor, a computer-readable memory, and a display. The memory contains software configured to receive a formula defining instructions for blending a hair dye mixture using one or more blending materials and amounts recommended for the hair dye mixture. The salon management software is stored in the computer-readable memory and executed by the control system. The salon management software is in communication with the control system to exchange information on customers and formulas of hair dye mixtures associated with the customers.

PROGRESSIVE SHEAR EMULSIFIER
20220142193 · 2022-05-12 ·

A progressive shear emulsifier can include an outer body and an inner body. The outer body can have a central opening therethrough, an inlet, an outlet, and an inner surface along the central opening defining a first three-dimensional contour. The inner body can be positioned within the central opening and configured to rotate with respect to the outer body about an axis of rotation along the central opening. The inner body can have an outer surface defining a second three-dimensional contour that correlates to the first three-dimensional contour to form a material passage between the outer body and inner body. Rotation of the inner body within the outer body can create progressive amounts of shear across materials passing through the material passage, which can result in emulsified material. Conic transitions can create turbulent regions that mix the materials passing therethrough. Collective geometry can create conveyance and/or pumping of materials, which can be methylcellulose and free water.

MIXING BEATERS FOR USE WITH A STAND MIXER

A mixing beater for a stand mixer includes a collar configured to removably couple the mixing beater with the stand mixer. A frame is coupled with the collar and includes a pair of opposing first and second arms. The first and second arms are coupled at their respective distal ends by a frame tip. A central axis of the mixing beater extends through the frame tip, between the opposing first and second arms. A plurality of ribs extends between the first and second arms. Each rib has a rib central axis that extends orthogonal to the central axis of the mixing beater and each of the plurality of ribs is spaced from an adjacent rib to define a space between adjacent ribs.
