Hair Color Tube Squeezers for Reducing Product Waste in Salon Work
Even after a hair color tube has been squeezed by hand, some color often remains inside — including near the tip, where fingers and standard squeezers find it hard to reach. A tube squeezer helps press out more of that remaining product, so each tube can be used more fully and dispensing at the color station feels smoother.
This compact guide introduces three tube squeezers stocked at Beauty Garage Singapore — Tube Squeezer Pearl Wine, NEW Eco de Pon and Tube Squeezer (Black) — and how their structure and use differ.

Quick Comparison at a Glance
All three are designed to help squeeze color tubes to the end. The main differences are structure, material and which part of the tube they suit best.
| Squeezer | Type | Material | Key point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tube Squeezer Pearl Wine | Roller-type | ABS resin | Suited to larger tubes and hard tubes |
| NEW Eco de Pon | Plier-style with puncture pin | Aluminum | Reaches color left in the tube neck |
| Tube Squeezer (Black) | Compact hand-held press type | Rubber handle, aluminum squeezing surface | Simple, easy-to-grip design |
About the BGJP Staff Test
BEAUTY GARAGE Japan staff tested how much more color could be recovered from three tubes of hair color that had already been squeezed by hand. Each tube was first squeezed with Tube Squeezer Pearl Wine, then with NEW Eco de Pon.
- Tube Squeezer Pearl Wine: about 4 g more per tube on average
- NEW Eco de Pon (after Pearl Wine): about 2 g more per tube on average
These figures come from a small in-house test under specific conditions. Results can vary depending on the tube, the product and how the tools are used.
The Three Tube Squeezers in Detail
Tube Squeezer Pearl Wine
A long-standing tube squeezer from Taney in a big-roller format that handles hard tubes. It is designed to press out the contents of larger tubes cleanly, helping reduce the amount of color left behind.
In the BGJP staff test, it recovered an average of about 4 g more per tube from tubes that had already been squeezed by hand.
- Type: Big roller
- Compatible with: Larger tubes and hard tubes
- Material: ABS resin
- Suited to: Salons that regularly use larger or firmer color tubes
A practical first step when larger tubes are part of daily color work.
NEW Eco de Pon - Tube Squeezer
A plier-style tube squeezer from Zeal Salon, developed from a "waste not" idea. Its plier-inspired tip includes a pin that punctures the tube near the tip, helping press out color left around the tube neck, where a small amount is often left behind by standard squeezers. The compact aluminum body is easy to grip and use with one hand.
According to the product specification, it can squeeze out about 2–3 g of remaining color. In the BGJP staff test, it recovered an average of about 2 g more per tube after the tubes had already been squeezed with Tube Squeezer Pearl Wine.
- Type: Plier-style, one-hand grip
- Material: Aluminum with a sandblasted finish (non-slip, rinses clean with warm water)
- Weight: 120 g
- How to use: Secure the tube tip in the plier-shaped end and use the pin to puncture the tube. Position it over a container and squeeze out the remaining color, then rotate the tube 180° to collect the color left around the neck.
- Suited to: Finishing off tubes after a regular squeezer
Useful for recovering the color left in the tube neck.
Tube Squeezer (Black)
A simple, compact tube squeezer sized to sit comfortably in the hand. The aluminum ridges on the squeezing surface grip the tube firmly, so color or creams can be pressed out towards the end with steady force.
- Type: Compact hand-held
- Size: W120 x L100 x H27 mm
- Material: Rubber handle, aluminum squeezing surface
- Suited to: Everyday use at the color station
A straightforward option when an easy-to-grip, compact tool is preferred.
At a Glance: Which Tube Squeezer Suits Which Use?
- For larger tubes and hard tubes: Tube Squeezer Pearl Wine
- For color left in the tube neck: NEW Eco de Pon
- For a simple, compact hand-held tool: Tube Squeezer (Black)
In the BGJP staff test, the roller-type Pearl Wine was used first, followed by the plier-style NEW Eco de Pon, allowing the two tools to target different areas of the same tube.
Conclusion
Tube squeezers are a small addition to the color station, but they can help salons use more of each tube and reduce product waste. Choosing by tube size and where the remaining color sits — along the tube or in the neck — can make it easier to find the right tool for daily color work.
