For hair salons
Show them the colour before you mix it.
A colour consultation mirror for your salon. One photo shows clients new looks on their own hair.
A client who books roots could leave with balayage. Shades Live starts that conversation in the chair.
Every look, on their own hair.
Balayage, highlights, copper, grey blending, braids and more.
The shade, in the brands you mix with.
The chosen look comes with front and back views and the nearest shades from your colour brands, as estimates your colourist can check.
Your chair sells colour, even when it’s empty.
Before-and-after looks play on their own, with your logo on the screen. Waiting clients get something to ask about.
Why salons use it
Clients say yes when they can see it on themselves.
Fewer second guesses
A swatch book asks clients to imagine. Seeing the colour on their own face settles the question before anything is mixed.
New ideas, no hard sell
Clients explore looks they might never have asked about, without a push from your team.
A chair that feels premium
It looks like part of your salon, not a gadget on the counter.
Looks
19 categories. The four best in each, picked for this client.
Shades Live reads the photo and shows the looks that suit this face, skin and hair first. Any other look is still one tap away.
The lookbook between clients
AI previews made from one photo. Looks and shades are estimates for the consultation.

Questions
How does it help my salon earn more?
Clients book colour they can picture. Seeing a new look on their own face makes saying yes easier.
Will it slow my stylists down?
No. Clients browse looks on their own while the stylist gets ready, then the stylist joins for the final choice.
Will the colour match what clients see?
Close, not exact. Looks and brand shades are estimates that get the client and stylist talking about the same thing. Your stylist still does the colour assessment and the formula.
Is it right for every client?
It’s made for every hair type, with colour looks, plus braids, twists, locs, extensions, cuts and styling. You hide anything your salon doesn’t offer.
What happens to client photos?
Each client agrees before the camera turns on, and their photos are cleared from the screen when the visit ends. The looks are made by AI services that may process photos outside Canada. Our privacy policy explains exactly how.
Will my colourists like it?
It’s their tool. They make the final call and the formula. The screen just starts the conversation.
What does setup involve?
A power outlet and Wi-Fi near your consultation chair. We set everything up, add your logo and menu, and train your team in one visit.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is set for each salon, based on your salon’s size. We go through it at the demo, with no obligation.
In your salon
Book a demo. Bring a client.
We come to your salon and run a real consultation on one of your clients, in your own chair. It takes about 15 minutes. We’re now booking our first salons across the Greater Toronto Area.
