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...

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 like the idea. Very focused towards what it does, so i'd hope that it's lightweight/quick to open and show my hairdresser.

Is it possible to enlargen the pictures of my past haircuts in case my hairdresser's eyesight isn't too good?

Pros:

I never know what to say to my hairdresser - and usually get it wrong. It would help me nail down my favorite haircuts!

Cons:

It's not on Android yet!

Thanks for the feedback Ben! Sorry if it was unclear, but you should be able to tap on the images to bring them into full screen mode, where you can swipe left and right as well! I'll have to see how to improve the design there. Let me know if that helps!

Absolutely love this idea. I have a fear of going to the hairdresser myself so I try to prepare everything before going. I'll show up with a ton of pictures but I think it might do more harm than good, this app seems a great solution. When is it coming to android?

@alexvolders1 Thanks you! I definitely had a fear of explaining poorly every time. As of now, no plans for Android :( But I'll see how people like it and consider it for sure!

Yes! Now I just need to nail a good haircut for once... Good name, nice design. But I guess I could also just take a few pictures of a good haircut and show that to my hairdresser (never thought of doing that actually - thanks for the inspiration!) ? I think you'll need a bit more added value to make this into a success.

@bartvanpoll Thanks for the constructive feedback Bart! I'll definitely think about how I can add on to the app to better enhance the overall "haircut experience". Appreciate it!

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...
