The Day 1 Artist program is not a sponsorship. It is a partnership built on one principle: we back the artists who back their clients. Subscribe because Banger works for the people in your chair. Everything else — the banner, the map pin, the title — is how we show up for you in return.
Use Banger because it actually works for your clients.
Put your name on a banner and route our customers to your chair.
The right aftercare at your station. Clients finding you on the map.
For a decade, brands built their Pro Teams around follower counts. Ten thousand minimum. Fifty thousand preferred. They DM'd someone else. The artists with full books and zero deals never got the call.
We looked at something different. We looked at what you hand your clients at the end of a session. Whether the aftercare protocol you built your reputation on is the right one — not just the one everyone else copied.
Day 1 is not about when you found Banger. It is about the standard you have held for your clients from the beginning. That is the only qualification that matters here.
Individually wrapped for the handoff. One bar per client, day one through the full heal.
Why the product works
The soap is the hero.
Not the balm.
In 2016 the FDA found zero evidence antibacterial soap works better than plain soap. Antibacterial agents strip the skin microbiome your client needs during the healing window.
Banger is cold-process, zero antibacterial agents. 1,500+ artists updated their recommendation because of it.
