Illinois Patent of the Month – March 2022
SureTint Technologies, LLC (LaRu) is focused on the innovation and development of unique hair color formulas. Hair color is one of those services which can leave the client ecstatic or horrified. With small miscalculations in color development, the outcome of the dye can be completely different. Recently, LaRu has developed a smart system capable of calculating the precise amount of color, developer, and additive needed to customize a hair color to an individual.
There have been many previous attempts at automatic mixers. Most of these were far too expensive to be a reasonable investment for any salon and moreso, they required internal storage for each varying color component. LaRu’s design is both more simple and more cost-effective.
This smart technology stores patient information including desired hair colors and the optimal recipes to achieve it. This new system provides a monitored approach using a computer driven system with precision scale. The system stores ingredients of a given color recipe and coordinates with a scale to ensure precision volumes are added. This eliminates mixing or blending errors, ensuring an accurate product for each client. This means a repeat customer can get the exact same dye on a return visit.
