It could vend semi-permanent colours, hair accessories, hair straighteners and gift cards. The advantages being that it cuts out theft completely, and can easily be re-stocked. It also doesn't require constant polishing as everything's behind the glass screen. What do you think? And as a side note, I wonder why big clothes shops aimed at teenage girls don't have a brightly coloured hair colour vending machine in their stores next to accessories rather than losing out to the drug-stores/supermarkets for the home hair-colour market?

I think especially younger shoppers would go for this. Although I have to say I'm so small and tucked away at my salon that I have vertually no theft. But I can see if you were in a Mall or a really high traffic area where this could be an uber good.

It would vend haircolor to the public? I can see that system literally cutting in to my profit, But hey!!..vending shampoo, conditioners, hair accessories..Kewl idea. Pay by debit, paper money or Credit cards..Awesome!

I think it would go down a storm! I looked on eBay for vending machines and they cost quite a bit so I don't think I'll be trying this out anytime soon, but it's something I'd like to try out in the future.
