Hair salon · Johor

A salon has no tables and no food.

Toyako is a hair salon chain in Johor. Pip holds conversations about salon services, in more than one language.

Customers explain what they want and show hairstyle references on their phones. A stylist takes over for the consultation and the booking.

Nothing in this venue resembles a restaurant. That is why it matters.

What we loaded

A salon is not a smaller restaurant.

Everything Pip could say had to be loaded, and given limits.

The company story, and four branches with their opening hours
Every service, and how long each one takes
How the price changes, and what it must never quote
Topics it must never discuss
One person to hand the customer to, and a rule that it guides bookings but never makes them

Magic Mirror

See the haircut before the haircut.

We built Magic Mirror for Toyako. A customer says “magic mirror” and picks a hairstyle. With their consent, Pip takes their photo and shows them with the new look. A QR code saves the picture, and a stylist confirms what is possible.

Your venue is not a restaurant either?

Pip needs a way to see, a way to speak, your information to answer from, and something to act through. The room can be anything.
