The Wahl Style Selector is a new digital tool from the professional and home grooming tool brand that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to help consumers 'Try Before You Trim.' The tool works by having men use the web app to snap a picture of themselves or upload one of their choosing before trying out a variety of hair and facial hair styles. The experience makes use of the AvatarSDK machine learning technology and provides access to 12 options for hairstyles, facial hairstyles and beard styles.
Vice President of North America Consumer Steven Yde spoke on the Wahl Style Selector saying, "We’re excited to continue expanding new, innovative ways to enhance the consumer experience and instill the confidence to try a new look. The Style Selector offers men the opportunity to find a new hair or facial hairstyle that best suits them in a realistic, fun way and be able to implement it at-home."
