Hairtelligence is an automated, computer-vision powered solution for purchasing custom hair products online.
Product: From wig purchase to application, we provide tools and guidance that puts today’s and tomorrow’s look within our customer’s reach. We’ve built AI and computer-vision technology to power our customer onboarding and customization application, which automatically sizes and selects the correct lace color for every customer order, all with just a few selfies. Once we find a customer’s size and perfect lace color, we allow each customer to build their new wig. There are many decisions to make when creating the perfect wig – from cut, color, or wave pattern, it’s often hard to gauge whether the combination of these decisions will mend together for the look our customers are dreaming of. So, at Hairtelligence we’ve made these decisions even easier to handle with our visualization technology – as a customer walks through creating their new look, they will also see themselves in each style, giving them full confidence that the new look they are creating looks amazing on them before purchasing their wig.
