Kenra Professional® announces launch of Kenra Color Skill for Amazon Alexa
The hands-free skill offers three primary educational areas: color conversions, mixing instructions and processing times. Alexa can now help them serve their clients more efficiently with a fraction of the mess while perfecting their craft with information that goes beyond the fingertips. Once enabled, customers can ask things like “Alexa, ask Kenra Color what is the processing time for Kenra Permanent Color."
“We believe that voice is the perfect technology for the private color bar section of the salon, and we continue on our mission to find and develop simpler, more efficient ways to combine tech innovation with education, specifically for our professional stylists.” said Ryan Brown, Digital Director at Kenra Professional®.
The Kenra Color skill offers conversion support for the top twenty-five permanent shades of the industry’s leading brands. The skill assistant also helps stylists to quickly determine the best mixing ratio for Kenra Color permanent and demi-permanent lines, including often-tricky gray coverage ratios.
The launch marks a first for the professional industry. In turn, Kenra Color skill allows stylists to give their clients a great experience without the messy issues that can arise when a manual is required.
Amazon Alexa is already one of the most familiar smart assistants in the United States today. While consumers are used to controlling their smart home devices with voice commands, businesses are only just starting to understand the productivity advantages that industry-specific smart assistants can offer in multiple domains.
“Voice is one of the fastest-growing segments in the technological industry. We firmly believe that voice is the future in private spaces of homes and businesses,” added Brown. “From smart speakers to portable smart headphones, the frictionless, time-saving aspects of voice technology will only accelerate the adoption.”
Professional hair stylists will now be able to join the smart assistant revolution with a tool created especially for their needs while also enjoying Alexa-enabled devices other functions to boost their salon’s reputation and services.
