yuv develops the yuv Lab, a compact, patented hardware device that dispenses custom hair-colour formulations through refillable aluminium cartridges. The system pairs AI-enabled software with Swiss-developed colour formulas to deliver precise, bespoke mixes while reducing single-use packaging waste. Targeting both full-service salons and freelance colourists, yuv’s subscription model aims to cut costs, streamline workflows, and expand creative options for professionals. Data gathered through the connected platform informs continual optimisation of formulations and inventory management. By replacing traditional single-use tubes, the company positions itself at the intersection of sustainability and performance within the $10B+ global professional hair-colour market. With fresh capital, yuv plans to deepen its UK presence and launch in the US in 2026. No operating metrics such as revenue or user count were disclosed in the article.
