Online advice sessions
In hairdressing, consultations are a crucial component, particularly when colour changes are being performed. Although most hair salons provide in-person visits, have you considered conducting consultations via the internet?
You can use Instagram or WhatsApp for instant messaging or even video calls as a means of conducting an online consultation. The steps are comparable to those of an in-person consultation:

Machines for combining hair colours
With the advent of new colour-mixing equipment, manual colour-mixing may become obsolete.

In addition to providing hairdressers with increased autonomy, mixing machines are also
- Less fumes are emitted into the salon because the mixing occurs inside the device, making it safer.
- Reduced waste: mixing machines only utilise the precise amount of product necessary to avoid overmixing.
- More effective because they can extend colours, bleaches, and tints farther than they can with mixing since they can ventilate as they combine.
Intelligent hairbrushes
Could a brush adjust its bristles according to the type of hair it is brushing? That's precisely what intelligent hair brushes achieve.
In order to monitor dryness, count strokes, and assess brush force, smart brushes are equipped with sensors. Some even use microphones that pick up brushing sounds to gauge breakage, frizz, dryness, and manageability.
After collecting data, the brush grades hair for damage, breakage, tangling, and dryness and sends the information to a mobile app via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. It also takes temperature, humidity, and wind into account. The result is a quality score. Lastly, it offers hair advice and suggests particular items.
