Google Glass has a ton of applications from travel to cooking, but the Matrix Class for Glass tries out the technology for the purposes of beauty. The series of online classes from Matrix will have hairstylists wearing the tech glasses, showing viewers exactly what they see when they're washing, cutting and styling hair.
