Find your favorite new hair style – using your smartphone! Released in 2016, the Syoss App is the dutch version of the international Schwarzkopf App. Using the Augmented Reality technology users were able to try out all included hair styles live via their camera view. On top of that all styles could have been found in a tutorial section and all products needed could have been bought directly within the app.

Transform your smartphone into a magic mirror
If users weren’t sure if any style shown in the app looks nice on them, the app gave them the great feature to try out all styles in a magic mirror, using the Augmented Reality technology. Furthermore, all styles could have been colored in any existing coloration of Syoss NL and, of course, users were able to take pictures of themselves and save them or share with friends.

thoughts on this project
As I personally love the Netherlands I was really excited when I heard we would make an own version of the earlier Schwarzkopf App for them. The app had exactly the same concept and design as the international Schwarzkopf version but with a darkened look again. After having worked on the designs for the Schwarzkopf App for many months it was a warmly welcomed diversion to „invert“ the design and develop a new one adapting the CI of Syoss. After I had been working on this app family for several years this one was the last version I have been part of. And I’m extremely thankful, proud and happy that I’ve been part of the big team behind all those apps and that I’ve had the great opportunity to personally grow and learn a lot from creating them.
