Worldwide Hairstyle Revolution Hitting Hair Salons

Self-Service Kiosk delivers affordable hairstyle consultation while you wait

Long Beach, CA. WebRaiser Technologies, Inc. and the Hairstyler.com shook up the hair-styling world this weekend at the annual International Spa and Salon Expo as they unveiled a new interactive salon technology named VendiStyle.

VendiStyle is a self-service kiosk and billboard system that features a digital imaging technology that lets customers see themselves in over 2,000 hairstyles and colors before going under the scissors. The system also includes access to the internet and email, print time and money saving coupons, and entertain those waiting with games - all from an easy to use touch screen system.

"The system was fun and exciting," stated salon owner Cindy Robinson. "I can see how this technology will help me better connect with my customers."

"VendiStyle offers huge benefits to both salons and customers," says Roy Caccamo, co-founder of The HairStyler.com and 25 year hairstyling veteran. "Since customers are choosing their looks even while they wait, VendiStyle equipped salons can better help customers match their hairstyle choices with lifestyle needs while getting through more cuts - all within the space of a magazine rack!"

"Digital hair imaging technology is not new, but VendiStyle’s self-service approach is a first-of-its-kind," says Dave Gonsiorowski, President of WebRaiser Technologies, a company which specializes in self-service solutions. "Previous attempts at hair imaging required salon professionals to become experts in technology and was too expensive for the common customer. By offering these services in a self-service format, it is now easy and affordable enough for anyone to use."

"VendiStyle is a revolutionary way for salons to better connect with their clients and promote their entire service offering," Caccamo added. "VendiStyle not only lets customers see what they look like in different styles, it provides valuable information about the time and products required to make the different hairstyles work. VendiStyle is a virtual sales manager that helps salons increase in-store product sales while achieving higher degrees of customer satisfaction."
