Hairdressers, Hairstylists, and Cosmetologists

Getting your hair done is more than just a cut and colour, you are interacting with your stylist, and giving live feedback about whether the water is too hot, showing them inspo pictures or even just talking about your day

We all have our own unique style and artistic hand… no robot can do that! Or can they??

lol!!! been doing this over 10 yrs.. no way in HELL hair will be automated in any of our life times

I wouldn't ever take a chance of a robot cutting my hair, I'd fear being cut by the robot.

I think people underestimate how quickly an AI and a robot like the Optimus will be able to learn this skill and how quickly the mechanical dexterity and sensors required to be built into a delivering robot can be developed. At Elon's target price of 30k, there will be an Optimus in every home, performing all manner of personal service, including hairdressing.

I have seen videos of people getting their eyelash extensions and nails done by robots.

AI still has a long way to go before it can start doing people’s hair, too much dexterity involved.

Well, It requires so many different aspects. Communication with the client, artistry dexterity, extensive knowledge of styles extensive knowledge of color extension. Ouch of chemicals I’m a retired, hairdresser of 40 years and many other things.

There is a lot of personal connection that is gained through the experience of getting your hair done and with there being a real human being there, you can be guided through your emotions and they can see whether a style will fit you, your style, and/or your face shape or not.

Hair color has so much opportunity for customization compared to nails or lashes. I think creating systems for ai to do hair, especially lightening and balayage techniques is very complicated and could make the service even more expensive for the consumer. For haircuts I actually think that ai could take it over. There’s a lady who created and patented “head shapes matter” I could see the mathematics and science of this program being used as a system for ai machines to cut hair. I could also see clients loving the consistency they can get from a robot in this case. I’ll be waiting to buy this machine for my retirement!

I think it's been greatly underestimated the amount of money one can make in this profession-especially comparing it to a 4 year degree or a bachelor degree of something- as long as your body and health can hold up . There are millions of people in the world -no shortage of people

Hands
You need hands
Touch
You need to feel texture
They can probably formulate but need to know any underlying issues such as medication, genetics , allergies ,

Robots won't take this job. It's way too expensive. Instead the wage will be beaten down by millions of newly redundant public sector and financial industry employees avoiding starving to death.

I don't see it in our future robots haven't gotten that artistic to know the exact needs or wants of a person

Because they will probably do something wrong

Hairstyling is a creative job to do at saloons. Saloons are opening so this job should grow a bit.

I really want to be a hair dress
