HeyInturi The Future of Hair: Augmented Reality in the Salon

Step into the future of hair and beauty in this episode as we explore how cutting-edge augmented reality is transforming the client experience.

We’re joined by the team behind an innovative platform that allows clients to virtually try on hairstyles, book appointments seamlessly, and make confident decisions before they even step into the salon. From reducing consultation time to increasing client trust and conversion, this technology is changing the way salons connect with their clients.

We dive into how “intuition first” is shaping the development of smarter, more personalized tools for both stylists and clients, and what this means for the future of the industry.

If you’re a hair professional looking to stay ahead, improve consultations, and elevate your client journey, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

In this episode, I’m joined by hair educator Luke Robert for a powerful conversation about what it really takes to step beyond the chair and into education.

We dive into the mindset shift required to move from being a skilled stylist to becoming a respected educator, the realities of building authority in the industry, and why talent alone is never enough. Luke shares honest insights on confidence, credibility, and the responsibility that comes with teaching others.

If you’ve ever thought about educating, building your personal brand, or creating opportunities outside of the salon floor, this episode will challenge the way you think about your career.

This isn’t just about teaching hair. It’s about leadership, standards, and long term impact.

Listen now and start thinking bigger about what’s possible for you.
