Computerized hair style imaging technology enables you to see what you would look like in any hair style, hair color or fantasy hair style, without risk.  

 

The state-of-the-art equipment was manufactured by New Image Systems at an original cost of over $15,000. The system contains over 1,300 hair styles that were selected by top hair style designers all over the world. Each hair style has been professionally photographed and digitally enhanced for computer hair style imaging, providing the most lifelike hair style images possible. I can digitally cut hair, change hair color, lengthen and modify each of the 1,300 hair styles, providing an infinite number of hair styles. 

Your photograph will be digitized with a high-tech JVC video imaging camera and each hair style is custom fitted to your face shape. The Targa graphics system enables me to get an exact fit to your image.

Using Super VHS recording equipment, I will record each step of my hair style analysis on the screen. Throughout the video, I will share my thoughts with a running commentary about what I am seeing with each hair style on the screen. You will have a permanent record on videotape of your personal hair analysis, and all of my hair design thoughts and recommendations. You will be able to watch me actually designing your own hair style. 

The Hitachi video printer is capable of the highest quality photographic quality reproductions. In addition to your videotape, you will receive photographs of all 12 hair style recommendations, so you can show them to friends and your hairstylist.
