New Salon Service: To see is to Believe!


"Ma'am/Sir, this hairstyle suits you!" this is a common affirmation in a salon. Have you ever experienced a haircut that looks terrific in a magazine and the stylist seconded that the hairstyle suits you but at the end of the day you definitely wanted your hair back? Well, I experienced that a lot before.

Editing pictures is so easy nowadays. You can have your face attached in a celebrity's body, change your eye color, remove makeup in seconds, and the most amazing part is you can change hairstyle in just one click.

This means that with the technology we have today, it is very possible to have a computer or any other gadget in a salon that will enable the customer to have a preview on how she or he can look like with the new hairstyle. You can mix and match hundreds or thousands of hairstyles uploaded in a database. The salon will definitely have additional income through this service.

Suggested procedure:

  1. Since this is a new service, the salon personnel should invite his or her customer to avail this,
  2. If the customer would want this service, there should be a camera connected to the gadget to capture the customer's face,
  3. After cropping the face, the customer will choose from the given categories. Examples are: styles for long hair, short hair, curly hair, straight hair, etc.
  4. After choosing, it is time to pick one from the hairstyles included in the selected category,
  5. It is time to paste the customer's captured and cropped face into the selected hairstyle,
  6. The customer may repeat the steps if still not satisfied with the hairstyle, and
  7. Possible options may be to print, or to save the edited picture preview with an additional fee.

It is also possible to have software built by a developer so that it is more personalized as to what the salon would want to offer to its customers. It is a simple capture, crop, pick, and paste procedure. In the end, no more I-WANT-MY-HAIR-BACK scenarios! 4
