Amidst rush hour traffic leaving the San Francisco airport, I was running late and had less than an hour to get a full set of eyelash extensions before heading to dinner. Just across the bridge in Oakland at LUUM Lash, an AI robot was ready and waiting.
While I love the look of eyelash extensions, I didn't want to spend two to three hours of my NorCal vacation sitting for a traditional appointment. Instead, I zipped into the cutting-edge LUUM lash salon for a high tech alternative. The salon utilizes a proprietary technology, including computer vision and artificial intelligence, to program a robot to apply eyelash extensions. I loved the idea of the classic beauty treatment receiving a technology overhaul, but I'll admit I felt nervous about having a robot so close to my eyes. Still, with little time to spare, I decided to give the futuristic treatment a go.
