Smart Salon When celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson opened his Los Angeles Starring salon two years ago, it’s as if he knew this trend was coming. “We have no front desk, cashless payments, appointment booking through an app, and semiprivate pods called ‘Clouds,’” Gibson says. “The only touch point in our high-tech smart salon is your stylist.” Using Amazon Smart Codes, guests can scan images of products on their smart phones, which are then delivered to their homes within a day.
