From virtual hair makeovers to skincare advice, artificial intelligence is becoming an early stop in many people's grooming journeys, helping them visualise looks before they seek an expert opinion.A sudden urge for a makeover usually ends at the salon chair, where the cut you imagined and the cut you walk out with rarely match. Across Bengaluru, artificial intelligence now closes that gap before the appointment is even booked. Residents preview hairstyles, test hair colours, decode skincare ingredients and explore fashion choices through AI tools, turning technology into the first stop in the grooming journey rather than the salon mirror.
