BeautyWise — know your cost, increase your profit
by IKON.IQ Professional

Do you know what one manicure actually costs you?

Not your rent. Not your hours. The product — what one service takes out of the bottle. BeautyWise measures it, per product, down to the cent.

Watch how it works

Three short films, none longer than three minutes — real products at real shop prices. Start with the method, then see what BeautyWise tells you about a service you already run, and how to enter one of your own.

Start here The method 1:45

Label the bottle, weigh it, work normally, weigh it again. The whole method, at the desk, with a real scale.

Part 1 What it tells you 2:56

One gel manicure, five products, costed to the cent — and what that leaves you on a €40 service.

Part 2 Entering your own 2:40

Adding a product start to finish: bottle size, product type, two weighings.

Weigh it. Don’t guess it.

Step 1

Weigh before

Put the bottle on a gram scale before the first service and note the weight.

Step 2

Work normally

Do ten services exactly as you always do. No changes, no counting drops.

Step 3

Weigh after

Weigh the bottle again. The difference is what ten services really used.

Step 4

Read the answer

BeautyWise turns it into cost per service, services per bottle, and your margin.

0.25 g
of colour per manicure — one coat, measured over ten services
60
services from a single 15 ml bottle
€1.00
total material cost per gel manicure — five products, prep to top coat

Example: PRIMA one-coat system at ikoniqnails.com shop prices, August 2026. Your numbers will differ — that is the point of measuring.

Try it with your own products

Nothing to install and nothing to sign up for. Open the app and it starts on the worked example above, so you can see how it fits together before you type anything.

  1. Open the example. Tap the service card to see the five products, their weights, and what each one costs per manicure.
  2. Add your own product. Tap Add Product and enter five things: the name, what the bottle cost, the size printed on it, the weight before and after, and how many services you did in between.
  3. Enter what you charge. Put your service price in and the app shows gross profit, margin and markup next to the material cost.
  4. Keep it, if you want to. Your figures live in the browser until you sign in. Sign in and they are saved to your account, and you can have the report emailed to you as a PDF.

Or take the worked example away with you

The same PRIMA example as a PDF, if you would rather read it than click through it: every product, every weight, cost per service — and what happens to your margin when you put a service price next to it. This is the only part that asks for an email.
