The entire makeover process was showcased at the event culminating in a ramp walk, complete with make-up and styling.
The Style My Hair App, launched on the same day, has 3 features – Moodboard with Pinterest like inspiration boards that will be linked to the colour plan, 3D Try On that allows you to take a picture and do a virtual live colour demo, and Swatchbook which lets you experiment with different shades. This 3-in-1 colour consultation tool will transform the salon experience for hair stylists and clients. AR technology is believed to be a true game-changer that is not only going to transform the consumer experience on mobile but also in the salons.
