L’Oréal was created upon hair color more than 100 years ago. Client diagnosis remains a central part of the professional experience. However, Colorists still need to find the best mix (manually) by themselves, which can be stressful and sometimes inaccurate, and further, the color is not tracked over time in a precise way. 

Completing the expertise of hair professionals, this technology offers consumers the right hair color every single time. The design is sleek, ergonomic and user-friendly with just one button for easy use. With 5 patents filed internationally, it encapsulates a very highly precise optics system in the head of the device while still providing a cordless, hand fitting and well-balanced product. The embedded tactile screen on the top is an easy and accessible user interface. 

The algorithm has been trained with over 10,000 images from L’Oréal’s internal expertise color experts and classifications to make it capable of diagnosing hair color parameters as well as an expert colorist.
