Living near a silicon valley means being a guinea pig if you choose it. There is an automated robotic coffee machine that awaits you when you first land at San Francisco Airport and driver -free cars who are ready for the ferry. Now robots that run in artificial intelligence enter our salons.
Starting based in Oakland offers 170 dollars of eyelash extensions by Beauty Bot, a scientific-fantastic version of cuddling that claims more precision and dexterity than a man, an I-boiler draw for a demographic group that tends to fix productivity and “growth growth” – In a fraction of time.
My first question was natural – is it safe? The roles included (my eyes) look high, but the helper of the beauty who monitors the process said that Wands would easily discard the Wands at the end of the robot, who kept magnets. In addition, the robot is able to pause if he finds to sneeze or jerk.
However, while I was lying, a claustrophobic under the rush, a whirlwind of machine unlike MRI scanners, it was difficult to feel completely relaxed.
Luum’s ownership technology, which has been in the production for six years, is designed to use computer vision to recognize individual buyer lashes and quickly glued to the fake at the top, taking a strenuous two-hour handicraft closer to a 60-minute brand.
Although techno-optimists focus on the power of AI and robotics to shake sectors such as defense and production, beauty and cosmetics industry with multiple billions of dollars is quietly identified as a lucrative handful Ai robots entrepreneurs.
Clockwork, which offers a 10-minute manicure of robots, has already performed about 20 machines in the US, including two in San Francisco. Massage bots develop start-up called Aescape. And technical executives like Esther Crawford, a product director in Meta, proudly publish images of their robotic enlarged extensions.
So I lay down on my robot bed as he slowly lifted me toward the white light so blinded me that he made me sleep, even with closed eyes (a typical protocol of the eyelash extension). This was not soothing. But still, I offered my eyes to the gods! I was looking into the light! I was the future!
Except not quite. As I lay there, I heard the robotic hands wound up and then. . . stillness. The assistant explained that there had been a slight problem with a newly opened component, but that she just fixed it. A bit upset, I tried to stay calm when the robot started the second time. Shortly thereafter, another clumsy silence, followed by two votes that spoke in muffled tones. They were, they said, just “restarting” the robot.
The third time Lucky and the robot succeeded. My concerns quickly mitigated her skilled work. There was a slight pressure while applying every lashes, but nothing alarming. The app didn’t feel too different from my usual beauty meetings. After about 45 minutes, the assistant handed over the last few lashes, a kind of editing, called the “art” process, and we ended up.
Quick, appropriate and eyelashes look part. I was told that the upcoming iter of the machine would make both eyes at once to make the procedure even faster. Still, I’m not sure I would come back. Part of my desired experience salon is escapism. During the treatment of treatments under the guidance, people can listen to music or soothing podcast or taste deliciously daily. Although I came to trust my gentle beauty bot and his magic wands, it was difficult to relax as the machine spin like a printer and shone in the style of the operating room.
These bugs will eventually be elaborated and, despite the protests for the opposite of the commander, the jobs of aesthetics will be cut or changed forever. The technological industry that dominates men begins to realize that this is a low -hanging consumer industry for disorders.
Nevertheless, the age of completely automated beauty treatments is still in some way. I was very grateful for the human presence – and I recalled when I received the text, noting that I could leave gratitude for my eyelash procedure via cash or payment application. Even AI robots can’t move the American rolling culture.
