1. Hair Color Simulator Helps Consumers Feel Confident and Inspired to Visit the Hair Salon

Many consumers feel apprehensive about trying a new hair color. Uncertainty about how their chosen shade will look and worry that they will invest money in a color that doesn’t look the way they hoped can deter them from visiting the salon.

By implementing virtual hair color try-on technology on your brand website, consumers can:

Visualize how different hair colors and shades will look with their skin tone and overall style
Experiment with shades without risk
Try on as many colors and shades as they want
Discover new hair colors that they love that they may not have previously tried
Feel confident about their hair color choices when they go to the salon

Check out brands’ story examples here: Aveda, Kao Blaune Lumiést

For just using phone or laptop camera, customers can virtually try on different hair colors and even in different highlight patterns, consumers can also save an image of their favorite shade from the virtual try-on experience to show their colorist as inspiration. With virtual try-on images that they can save for later, consumers are more likely to feel satisfied with their hair color when they ultimately visit the salon.

This satisfaction builds loyalty and trust with brands, encouraging customers to tell others about their experience and return to the same salon and brand when they’re ready for their next hair color transformation.

2. Hair Color Tester Drives Consumer Awareness for a Brand’s Unique Hair Color Line

Brands want consumers to request their hair color line by name at the salon. That means driving awareness of their brand becomes a top priority.

With a virtual hair color try-on experience, brands can highlight specific shades of a hair color line to draw consumer attention and make those shades more immediately recognizable. When a consumer remembers your brand’s promoted hair color, especially if they have already had a positive experience trying it on, they are more likely to ask for your brand’s color line the next time they visit the salon.

Virtual hair color try-on helps drive consumer awareness for your brand’s hair color products, as it allows customers to see what sets your brand apart from the rest.
