Hey Product Hunt community! I’m excited to announce my first launch today with the ‘FreshCut’ app! I built FreshCut to help others solve a problem I personally had: “It’s hard to explain a past haircut you’ve gotten to your hairstylist.” I tend to get the same haircut every time, and trying to explain what I want was never easy. I also didn't know what hairstylists actually would find useful. Do I just bring one picture? Perhaps two? So after interviewing many stylists, I built an app that helps you get your ideal haircut every time. With FreshCut, you can save and show your favorite past haircuts to any hairstylist for the perfect re-creation in 3 easy steps: 1. Cut - Go get a haircut. 2. Save - If you like your cut, use the app’s guided process to quickly record your haircut profile. 3. Repeat - Easily present your haircut profile next time you get a haircut from any barber for a perfect, fresh cut. I hope you enjoy it and I’d love to hear any feedback on the app you have so I can keep improving FreshCut! I'm here to answer all of your questions! Thanks! -Kai *Also, big thanks to @_maxdeutsch for his help and hunting FreshCut! You can read more about my journey in building this here: https://medium.com/@kkuroda.read...

Sorry, but it makes me think of this 😅

@thomgroutars I agree. Take a picture of your favorite cut. Jot some notes in Notes. Done.

Interesting idea... Maybe would use if I went to the barber, but I cut my own hair because: A) I dont like other people touching me and all up in my face. B) I want the ability to shower immediately after cutting my hair - otherwise it feels like I'm covered in my own hair all day.

@daviswbaer Totally understand! That got me thinking though, how do you (as someone who has the wizardry to cut their own hair) maintain a consistent haircut every time? Do you just eye it in the mirror, or do you have some routine you follow?

@kai_kuroda Well I just use clippers to cut my hair, so that makes things eaiser, but normally I use the "double mirror" technique for the back, and then use the "ask the wife" technique to make sure I don't look terrible :)

@daviswbaer Haha I see! Those seem like definitely some advance techniques. I'll have to try cutting my own hair too sometimes. I'm just too afraid it'll look terrible the first time, but oh well I guess that's part of learning how to cut your own hair...

You should target this to hairstylists as well. They can use this to keep track of their clientele and how they like their hair. Instead of asking "What are we doing today?" they can just pull up your name in this app and see *exactly* what you did last time. Plus, you could easily add a little hosted solution that syncs all the clientele with all of the hairstylists at that location or even across the company if they have multiple locations. Then sell a monthly subscription for it.

@joshuapinter Thanks for the feedback Joshua! That's a great idea. One thing I was afraid of for that approach was if people went to different hairstylists or different shops (like I do), it'd be nicer if the users themselves had that information, you know? But on the other hand, I can see hairstylists really finding this useful from their point of view. I know that some hair salons already have their own system for this (as some people mentioned), but I don't think it's that detailed or as useful as it can be. I'll look into that for sure. Thanks again!

I could've used this yesterday. I was trying to find my reference photo on pinterest and it was gone... Spent 5 mins in the barber awkwardly going through styles until I found one similar. Great work Kai!
