Can Shay Labs manufacture custom shampoo for hair care brands?

Yes. Shay Labs develops custom shampoo for brands with a specific performance or customer brief, or reviews a formula the brand already controls for manufacturing transfer. Cleansing feel, fragrance, packaging compatibility, testing and production quantity shape the project plan.

Who this is for

Built for hair care brands that need a practical manufacturing partner.

This page is for brand owners who need more than a generic supplier. The goal is to align the product, customer, packaging, production requirements, and launch path before money is wasted on the wrong formula or format.

New product launches

Clarify the formula direction, fill size, packaging requirements, and production expectations before you commit.

Line extensions

Add a related product that fits the customer routine and strengthens your existing brand system.

Manufacturer transitions

Move toward a more organized production conversation when your current supplier is not keeping up.

Retail or ecommerce growth

Plan the product and packaging around how your customer will actually discover, buy, and use it.

Concept to samples

Develop a custom shampoo brief

For a new shampoo, start with the target hair and scalp experience, cleansing level, foam, rinse feel and ingredient direction. Shay Labs develops and samples against that brief before the formula and package can be qualified for production.

Formula to manufacturing

Scale a formula your brand owns

For an existing shampoo formula, the manufacturing review focuses on ownership, specs, raw materials, previous testing, viscosity and filling compatibility. Production pricing follows the actual formula and package review.

  • Supply the formula and specifications
  • Review ingredients and production process
  • Qualify filling and finished-product testing
Manufacturing process

From product idea to finished goods.

The goal is to turn a product idea into a practical production plan: what you are making, how it should feel, what it will be filled into, and how it gets produced without chaos.
