TONE is the platform hair educators and salons use to host their teaching, set the learning, collect what students actually did at the chair, mark it against their own criteria, and decide what each of them does next.
The demo needs no account and uses made-up people. There is a free plan for up to five students.
Demonstration data — these people are not real
Most training notes lose the thread somewhere between what the client asked for and what the educator finally saw. TONE keeps the whole chain on one record, so the feedback lands on the actual decision that caused the result.
A logged model carries the method as well as the outcome — the sectioning and the technique, the formula and timing where there was one, and the before-and-after together. You can tell the difference between a good result and a lucky one, and say so.
Mark against your own criteria, write the critique on the record itself, and set what the student does next — a reading, a quiz or another model. They see the feedback attached to the work it was about, not in a separate message.
Attendance, lessons completed, quizzes attempted, models logged and marks given roll up per student and per class, so the person quietly doing nothing for a fortnight is visible before it becomes a problem.
Build modules, readings, quizzes and practical goals — or bring your own material across. The content is yours; TONE does not supply a syllabus.
You share one educator code. They sign up against it and appear on your register, grouped into the classes you actually teach.
Before and after photographs, the technique, the sectioning or the head sheet, the formula where there is one, and a note — logged on a phone between clients, with the model-release form signed on the same screen.
Open the record, read the method against the result, mark against the criteria you care about and write the critique where they will see it.
Assign the reading, the quiz or the practical goal that answers what went wrong, and it turns up at the top of their screen.
This is the shape of a single record in TONE. The student, the client and the result below are invented for illustration.
Demonstration data — this student and client are not real
Host your modules and lessons, set the work, and start marking it properly — cutting, colour, barbering, styling, whatever you teach. Free for your first five students.
For educators →Give each salon manager a read-only view of just their own students, while the educator keeps control of who sees what.
How it works →Your educator gives you a code. You do not need a plan of your own — your access comes from the educator you join.
Join your educator →Educators pay; students never do. Every plan includes the full practical workflow — logging models, head sheets, formulas, marking, feedback, attendance and progress.
Card payment is not switched on yet. The paid plans are visible inside the app under Membership, where you can register interest — nobody is charged in the meantime.
Limits are per educator account and are enforced in the app, not just described here. Where a plan says unlimited, that is the case for the items listed beside it.
No. TONE is the platform, not the syllabus. You build your own modules, readings and assessments, or bring across material you already teach from. There is a dictionary, a glossary and a set of reference tools built in — the colour ones are unusually deep — but the teaching content is yours.
No. TONE is not an awarding body and does not issue qualifications or accreditation. It records practical work and your assessment of it. Whatever formal qualification your students are working towards sits outside TONE.
No. Students join free with their educator's code. Only the educator account has a plan.
Only the ones the educator opens to them. A manager can be limited to a single salon, to hand-picked students, or to nobody at all, and the limit is enforced by the database rather than only hidden in the interface. Managers are read-only and are approved by the school before their account opens.
Yes — that is where most model logging happens. TONE installs to the home screen and works as an app. Some things still need a connection: photographs upload when you are back online, and a record is only confirmed once it has reached the server.
Dropping to Foundation limits what you can add next; it does not delete what is already there. Existing records, photographs and marks stay on the account.
The demo opens a register with fictional students, a marked model and a quiz. Nothing you do in it touches real data.
