Pinterest launched a new tool on Tuesday that converts saved beauty images into practical salon instructions. The feature, called Beauty Guides, uses visual intelligence and generative AI to translate inspiration photos into specific terminology used by stylists and nail artists. Users can now request looks like balayage or root melt without needing prior knowledge of the industry jargon.
This update addresses a common friction point where clients struggle to communicate their desired outcome clearly. By providing precise descriptions, the tool helps users discuss edits or changes more effectively during their appointment. The guides also include estimates for process time, cost, and maintenance needs such as touch-up frequency. This practical information allows people to plan their visits better and understand pricing before arriving at the salon.
* Applies to hairstyle, colour, nail shape, and finish categories
