Hairdressers. Have you ever had a bad haircut due to miscommunication between yourself and your hairdresser? I think software could help with this problem.

We have AI that can now show us pictures of how our hair would look if we had it cut/coloured/styled in a certain way, but getting hair dressers to actually embrace these technologies is a different story. I think they’re just resistent because the current apps that do this stuff are currently gimmicky, but if you could design some sort of software/program that leveraged that AI and collaborated with a Haircare product brand to market it to hairdressers it could be a cool way to start introducing more digital technologies into a very analogue industry.

If salons had some digital enhancements, AI could be used to help clients communicate more effectively to their hairdresser what it is they want and the hair dresser can also communicate back to their client what is realistically achievable. I just think it might be helpful for the consultation process.
