Customers who feel nervous about trying a new color can use the risk-free VTO technology to discover shades that surprise them.

Perfect Corp.’s AI hairstyle virtual try-on goes beyond searching “what hairstyle suits me” and offers visitors a hyper-realistic look and suggestions for cuts that work with various face shape.

Why Brands Should Integrate Perfect Corp.’s Virtual Hairstyle Try-On Technology
Benefits for Hair Salon
Perfect Corp.’s haircut try-on is the most convenient way to find a new look from home or on the go. It goes beyond finding a simple hairstyle reference online and gives consumers a wide range of styles at their fingertips. Users may be afraid or unable to try a spontaneous new haircut due to:
- Lack of time to go to the salon
- Inability to maintain a style they are unsure about
- Uncertainty about what flatters their face shape and features
Customized Deals for Wig Retailers
The virtual wig try on tool empowers customers to digitally try on a wide range of wigs based on the wig products.
This not only enhances the buying experience but also reduces the uncertainty associated with choosing the right wig.
With the virtual try-on technology, wig vendors will be able to boosts customer confidence and satisfaction, ultimately leading to increased sales and decreased returns, making it a valuable asset for wig dealers looking to stay competitive in the evolving beauty industry.
The Current Market for Women’s and Men’s Hair Styling
Currently, the market for male hairstyles and products is projected to reach over $54 billion worldwide in the next decade (Source: prnewswire). At the same time, the industry is seeing more products overall to care for curls, reduce frizz, and promote healthy hair over using generic products. Where many new products pose a risk to customers in terms of their appearance and whether the products will work for them, virtual try-on reduces that risk. In turn, it raises brand standing in the market with a solution that sets them apart.
Increase Website Engagement
Perfect Corp.’s hair VTO keeps visitors’ attention on brand websites by giving them the freedom and flexibility to try-on various looks. As a result, the tool increases conversions (Aveda), brings in more traffic, and expands the brand’s audience.

Customers often feel anxious about trying a new hairstyle or getting a new wig. Perfect Corp.’s AR hairstyle virtual try-on enhances customer confidence before they make the leap by:
- Decreasing the risk of trying a new style
- Showing the result before they commit
- Offering styles that complement face shapes
- Providing colors that work with their skin tone

When customers have greater certainty about their appearance as they walk into the salon, they feel more confident in their decisions about making a significant change like a new haircut.
Increase Sales
When customers see various colors and styles with VTO, they are more likely to purchase products that achieve their desired look. More customers come to the salon to have their hair cut and styled, but they also may buy:
- Hair dye and coloring items
- Shampoo and conditioner for their hair type
- Mousse, gel, and wax
- Curling or straightening products
Perfect Corp.’s trailblazing virtual try-on tool for hairstyles lets brands link their products to the tool to make it easier for customers to find what they need and purchase it even faster.
