The Problem

Personal care has a massive, unscalable bottleneck.

Keeping short hair maintained requires frequent trims every 2–3 weeks. Today, this simple recurring task is frustrating for customers and monotonous for businesses.

B2C – User

Basic short hair maintenance is disproportionately inconvenient:

Time-Consuming: Coordination, commutes, waiting rooms, and clean-up eat up valuable hours.
Rising Costs: Frequent standard trims become increasingly expensive over the year.
Inconsistent Results: Haircut quality is often random, fluctuating with different stylists and days.

B2B – Personal Care Management

Personal care providers and institutional operators face shared operational constraints:

Staffing Shortages: Salons, hospitals, care facilities, and security institutions lack capacity for recurring personal care tasks.
Time-Intensive Routine Work: Simple haircuts consume qualified staff time needed for specialized care and higher-value duties.
Limited Access & Scalability: Availability depends on trained personnel, scheduling, and location, making consistent haircare difficult to scale.

"What if getting a standard haircut was as fast, reliable, and effortless as getting a coffee from an automated espresso machine?"

The Solution

Autonomous haircutting for short-to-medium hair.

The customer selects their style on the mobile app, leans comfortably into the ergonomic head fixture, and cutbot^™ handles the execution.

Style Selection

User configures their exact hair length and fade parameters via the smartphone app before sitting down.

Customizable & saved profiles

3D Head Mapping

Optical sensors map individual head geometry and tactile sensors calibrate the tool path for safe, customized execution.

Sub-millimeter calibration

Vacuum Trimming

Proprietary vacuum system aligns hair upright and extracts cut strands continuously directly into a sealed compartment.

100% mess-free operation

Consistent Finish

In under 10 minutes, the customer steps out with an exact, reproducible haircut without stray hairs on clothing.

Perfect reproducibility

Technical Breakdown

Integrated Mechatronic Architecture

Every step is synchronized: real-time 3D head topology, tactile surface normal tracking, and dual vacuum extraction blades.
