Yes, hairdressing is being disrupted by AI too.

I was adamant, hopeful that my regular trip to the barber would be the last thing to be replaced by AI. After all the thought of having robotic blades moving round your head feels like something out of a horror movie.

But this Auckland, New Zealand company has created AI-powered clippers which maps your freshly cut hairstyle, ready to replicate it anytime.

After you arrive home from getting a new salon haircut, have someone glide Hairspace through your hair. As it's moving over your head, it collects hair and measures the lengths. It maps over 5000 hair lengths points all over your head, perfectly capturing your haircut in a digital model. You can save this model as one of your own personal styles, which Hairspace will later use to recreate your haircut.
