Scrummi Skeptics

And why they're wrong...

Welcome to Toweling Facts 101

A lot of what we assume to be true, has been debunked or disproven through testing, innovation and science. But that doesn't stop the inner critic from wondering. So, we've got some facts for you to arm you with the info you need to understand the Scrummi power.

Concern 1: Creates Waste

This is where science helps us because not all 'waste' is the same and sustainability isn't just about where things end up. It's about the production, manufacturing, use, AND disposal.

Scrummi beats out cotton, or any other textile, in every single category as well as when you add all of the impacts together.

Concern 2: Costs More

This can seem like the case at first because you feel like you are paying for towels monthly, rather than twice a year. However, when you add up all the costs behind the legacy of laundry, stylists realize why the average Scrummi savings is between 30-40%.

The true cost of laundry is actually fairly easy to calculate considering water and energy costs, machine purchase and maintenance, towel replenishment and labor that goes into managing this daily chore.

Concern 3: Client Reactions

Like anything new, it's about how you present it. Salons and stylists that have converted to Scrummi have reported that their clients actually PREFER it because they like having a towel that has only been on their head, they like that the salon is modern, and love that it's not too heavy.

Many salons have started retailing their towels to color clients to save their bath sheets at home, too.

Plus, let's be honest, most salon towels look worn and gross after their first couple washes... Scrummi always looks fresh!

Concern 4: My Staff Will Hate it

Yes, it is a FACT stylists hate change. But it's also a fact they like things that work and allow them to focus on their clients rather than towels. Including them in the reasons why converting to Scrummi is a good thing and educating them on how to use it helps arm them with the facts.

Things they typically love about Scrummi? No more towel shortages, no more laundry duty, no more stinky towels, a point of difference for their clients to love, and it's much easier to wrap wet hair without a lot of weight pulling at the hairline.
