Showing your barber a photo of David Beckham, sadly, does not mean you will strut out the shop looking like the iconic soccer champion.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>That being said, bringing a photo of a real human to your hair appointment is definitely more practical than what some people are turning to now, according to stylists: AI-generated images.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Dean Allan, the owner of a beauty salon in Edmonton, Alberta tells the \u003Cem>CBC\u003C/em> that it's becoming more and more common for clients to instead show him an image generated by a machine learning model.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>"Usually it's got a sheen," Allan told the broadcaster.

Expecting anime-perfect hair to complement model-perfect facial structure, simply put, is setting yourself up for disappointment.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>In the face of this trend, Allan said that barbers should be upfront with customers about their expectations.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>"As a hairstylist, you have to stand your ground,"  he said, per the \u003Cem>CBC\u003C/em>.

On the web, there are multiple AI tools that purport to do the same thing (just look up "AI hair" in a search engine to see for yourself.)\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>More broadly in the beauty world, companies like Google and Walmart already offer AI features that allow you to virtually try on clothes. While these are undoubtedly convenient tools for some, AI models have been criticized for perpetuating unrealistic beauty standards, so for others, they may be a source of self-torment.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>To that, Allan has some advice.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>"I would just really honestly say to anyone who is a hairstylist or is going to use any kind of hair inspo — whether it is AI generated or not — it's hair inspiration... that's all it is."\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Also read:\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cul>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/21-professional-skills-that-will-make-you-master-in-2025\">21 Professional Skills that will make you master in 2025\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/xiaomi-unveils-ai-glasses-a-stylish-blend-of-fashion-and-cutting-edge-technology\">Xiaomi Unveils AI Glasses: A Stylish Blend of Fashion and Cutting-Edge Technology\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/auto-parts-business-how-to-succeed-with-it-in-2025\">Auto Parts Business: How to Succeed with It in 2025?\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\n\u003Cp>Thank you!\u003Cbr />\nJoin us on social networks!\u003Cbr />\nSee you!\u003C/p>","barbers-alarmed-when-customers-start-asking-for-ai-generated-haircuts","2024-11-17T16:42:56.000000Z","2024-11-18T07:00:00.000000Z","18.11.2024",{"image":81,"image_webp":82,"thumb":83,"thumb_webp":84},"https://cdn.quasa.io/images/news/TBXIfprtxPgQACuYKwhZMar7WzSZTZGR5RMVY5Ra.jpg","https://cdn.quasa.io/images/news/TBXIfprtxPgQACuYKwhZMar7WzSZTZGR5RMVY5Ra.webp","https://cdn.quasa.io/thumbs/news-thumb/images/news/TBXIfprtxPgQACuYKwhZMar7WzSZTZGR5RMVY5Ra.jpg","https://cdn.quasa.io/thumbs/news-thumb/images/news/TBXIfprtxPgQACuYKwhZMar7WzSZTZGR5RMVY5Ra.webp","small",null,1427,4,"en",0,{"id":46,"title":47,"slug":48,"meta_title":47,"meta_description":92,"meta_keywords":92,"deleted_at":86,"created_at":93,"updated_at":94,"lang":89},"Artificial Intelligence, ai, ml, machine learning, chatgpt, future","2024-09-22T08:08:27.000000Z","2024-09-23T12:49:38.000000Z",[96,111,123,136,149],{"title":97,"description":98,"slug":99,"created_at":100,"publish_at":101,"formatted_created_at":102,"category":103,"links":104,"view_type":85,"video_url":86,"views":109,"likes":90,"lang":89,"comments_count":90,"is_pinned":110},"GitHub’s AI Agent Tsunami: 275 Million Commits a Week, 14 Billion Projected for 2026 — And the Platform Is Starting to Crack","GitHub just hit numbers that would have sounded like science fiction twelve months ago.","github-s-ai-agent-tsunami-275-million-commits-a-week-14-billion-projected-for-2026-and-the-platform-is-starting-to-crack","2026-04-17T17:10:50.000000Z","2026-04-20T11:57:00.000000Z","20.04.2026",{"title":58,"slug":63},{"image":105,"image_webp":106,"thumb":107,"thumb_webp":108},"https://cdn.quasa.io/images/news/XZTYmDGdaBEeRqB4Fv56AeOVoRtMa9PgoABzA3uj.jpg","https://cdn.quasa.io/images/news/XZTYmDGdaBEeRqB4Fv56AeOVoRtMa9PgoABzA3uj.webp","https://cdn.quasa.io/thumbs/news-thumb/images/news/XZTYmDGdaBEeRqB4Fv56AeOVoRtMa9PgoABzA3uj.jpg","https://cdn.quasa.io/thumbs/news-thumb/images/news/XZTYmDGdaBEeRqB4Fv56AeOVoRtMa9PgoABzA3uj.webp",6,false,{"title":112,"description":113,"slug":114,"created_at":115,"publish_at":116,"formatted_created_at":102,"category":117,"links":118,"view_type":85,"video_url":86,"views":14,"likes":90,"lang":89,"comments_count":90,"is_pinned":110},"Time’s Up for SaaS: Grow Faster or Disappear","The public markets have spoken — and the verdict is brutal.
