How can you sell it as a treatment when you aren't doing step one? olaplex actually states: "The No.2 Bond Perfector is a bond multiplier NOT a conditioning treatment." so actually no you can't offer it as a conditioning treatment.

Of course you can offer No.2 as part of a conditioning treatment.
I apply the Olaplex first to shampoo-ed hair with a light scalp massage and leave for 5-10 minutes, then I add a deep conditioner on top and leave it to process (maybe add heat) and then rinse and finish as normal.

I never use #3, that's a retail (take-home) item that I either sell or they buy elsewhere depending on their preference.
For olaplex treatment I have a 2 step process:
First I mix 15ml of #1 into 100ml water (115ml total) and massage that into their wet hair for 5-10min. Then, without rinsing, I put on #2 (undiluted) and massage that as I would a conditioner, let it sit for 10-20 min with or without heat.
You don't have to use the whole 115ml of #1 mixture, and the leftover will keep for up to 3 weeks to use on other clients if you keep it in an airtight bottle.
I offer this as a $25 add-on service to color or a $25 stand-alone conditioning treatment.
For the add-on to color - I do this immediately after rinsing the color and before the shampoo to repair any bonds broken during the color and to seal the color into the hair. Then I shampoo and condition as usual.
For the stand-alone conditioning treatment - I shampoo first, then do this instead of conditioner, and for added effect I will do step #2 under heat.
The two offerings have different functions (repair damage/seal color vs. just deep conditioning).
Our stores offer the Olaplex in a traveling stylist kit which has one small #1 and two small #2s. This size lasts me several months and only costs about $50 total. I found it to be a good entry point to allow me options and test whether my clients are willing to pay for these. (they are.)

also, another trick with the step #1 mixture is to cover the drain with plastic wrap or a small color bowl to catch and reuse the mixture on that client. (not to save for other clients, of course) But the idea is to not let it all go down the drain and keep the client's hair saturated with it for the full 10 min.

I offer no. 2 with all my conditioning treatments, I use it for 10 minutes after I’ve rinsed out the treatment. Clients love it, makes hair feel 100% better then when I don’t use it.
We get it in a 2L bottle, not sure on the price as the salon owner gets it for us x

Still this is not professional advice because olaplex states it is not a conditioning treatment. It is to be used in conjunction with step 1.
This is what Olaplex has to say about the #2:
https://help.olaplex.com/detail/no2-bond-perfector
But then it goes on to say you CAN use #2 alone here:
https://help.olaplex.com/detail/no2-mini-treatment
So it looks like I need to adjust my deep condition treatment to do a conditioner in addition to the #2 and not instead.
