The Consultation AI That Reveals Your Clients’ Ideal Hairstyles

Idélia, winner of the Grand Prize for Innovation at MCB 2025, presents a new generation of hair consultation: a digital assistant that helps stylists determine the ideal cut and color for each client, taking into account her body type, personality, preferences, and current trends. During this presentation, we’ll demonstrate how AI can become a true assistant to the stylist—without ever replacing their expertise—to structure the consultation process, enhance the advice provided, showcase the salon’s services, and transform the consultation into a tool for building customer loyalty, increasing visibility, and boosting revenue.

Authentic and Visible: AI Supporting Beauty Professionals

Hosted by Camelia, founder of Aicom and a digital communications specialist for beauty professionals. Managing social media as a beauty artisan is often the last item on an already too-long to-do list. There’s no time, no equipment, not always the inspiration—or even the budget—to delegate, not to mention the algorithm that changes every year! And yet, Instagram is now your most powerful showcase. During this session, we’ll explore how artificial intelligence can transform your approach to social media—without sacrificing your authenticity, without a photo shoot budget, and without spending your evenings on it. Walk away with practical tips for a stress-free, consistent digital presence that truly reflects who you are.

SHOW

"One Life" Show for Wella

From the moment we are born, the world teaches us to follow a path, to obey the rules, and to meet the expectations of others. But there comes a time when the greatest freedom is the freedom to choose our own path. Daring to believe in our dreams, making a living from our passion, and creating without limits is undoubtedly the greatest achievement of all. This show is an invitation to listen to that inner voice that pushes us forward, to overcome our fears, and to turn our dreams into reality. Because true freedom begins the moment we choose to fully become who we are meant to be.

WORKSHOW

"Beauty Consultations Through Morphopsychology: When Hairstyle and Color Become a Language and an Emotion."

Morpho-visagism, a registered trademark of Contreras Academy, is not simply the study of the face. It is a sensitive interpretation of what a face reveals. Its shapes, curves, lines, and balance… All of these can tell us about temperament, strength, gentleness, personality, and sometimes even a person’s story. That’s why we also draw on morphopsychology: it allows us to better understand what a person naturally radiates, so we can create a hairstyle that isn’t just aesthetically pleasing, but one that truly resonates with who they are. Morpho Color Coaching: When Color Becomes an Emotion Color, too, tells a story. It’s not simply a shade chosen from a color chart. It can warm, soothe, reveal, and enhance… It touches on the emotional, the intimate—what we feel and what we wish to convey. In Morpho Color Coaching, we naturally observe skin tone, eyes, eyebrows, and the face’s natural contrasts, but we also go beyond appearance to take into account the person’s energy and personality. Because two women can have the same skin tone and yet not wear the same color in the same way. Ultimately, my approach is based on a simple idea: beauty isn’t about transforming a person, but about revealing what’s already there. Through hairstyling and color, I want to show that it’s possible to create a true connection between the image we see in the mirror and the person we truly are deep down.
