Questions & Answers
Being that VendiStyle is revolutionizing the hairstyling industry, its natural for some to fear the change. Here is how some of these fears are being addressed.
- Should a PC determine how a client should wear their hair?
- The HairStyler is a high image, virtual graphic tool guide that helps hairstylist and client to better understand each other. When implemented correctly, THS opens a door to create better communication that helps consultation, which is the foundation to all successful hairstyling. In the past, clients have had to rely on earmarking magazines, pointing at pictures on walls or “asking” the question dreaded by all hairdressers “have you seen that latest look on” to get their message across to the stylist. The main problem that faces most clients is they have no idea if the look will really suit them, and the stylist doesn’t know what the client really desired or wanted. THS takes that problem right out by using this product there will be no error in communication with the client and the stylist. Poor client retention is almost always a result of misunderstanding or poor consultation skills, not normally due to bad hairstyling or salon service. Most salons make sure you have a coffee and magazines to read!
- I don't have the time - what if I am too busy?
- This is a fully serviced high tech kiosk unit. The user friendly interface and application make it easy and fun to use. The hairstylist is not even required to do anything more than go over client selection and consulate on their decisions.
- What if my client’s hair can't be styled to match the picture?
- Once again consultation and common sense is all that is needed in addressing this issue, it would be nearly impossible and technically incorrect to expect the hairstyles to look the same on a client as on a screen. There will be styles that are not achievable on some clients and lots that are, each client is unique in there own way. This is why the stylist is most important, as they must advise their client what is best for them. Also bringing lots of opportunity’s to promote new services, such as a cool body waves for the client who loves height, or a seductive chemical straighter to create a smooth flat design or maybe a new color to cover those greys or brighten dull times. The opportunities are truly endless.

The revolution is hairstyling is upon us. For example in 1906 Charles nestle invented the permanent wave, and in 1963 Vidal Sassoon created a short angular, cut on a horizontal plain, what we know today as the simple bob, These two examples changed the way that hairstylists around the globe conducted their business. This is the beginning of the next big leap forward.
