What the AI Reads From One Photo
Beyond Analysis — a Complete Working Formula
Results in Under 30 Seconds
AI analyses the photo and generates a complete formula faster than you can mix a bowl. No waiting, no back-and-forth.
Confidence Score
Every analysis comes with a confidence score — High, Moderate or Low — so you know when a strand test is important before proceeding.

Fade Prediction
Tells the client what to expect at wash 3–5 and wash 6–10 — professional maintenance advice built into every analysis.
Full Client History
Every analysis saves to the client's profile with before/after photos, formula, satisfaction notes and patch test records.
AI Analysis Questions
How accurate is the AI at reading hair level from a photo?
Very accurate for levels 3–9 in natural or controlled lighting. For very dark (level 1–2) or very light (level 10) hair, the AI flags lower confidence and recommends a manual check. Accuracy improves with multiple angle photos.
Can it detect previous colour history?
Yes — the AI detects banding, uneven porosity and colour inconsistencies that suggest previous colour. You can also enter hair history manually to give it full context.
Does it work on dark or black hair?
Yes. For very dark bases, ColourKey is more conservative — it recommends lower confidence on exact level and may suggest a strand test before lifting. It always errs on the side of caution for dark bases.
Is this just ChatGPT with hair questions?
No. ColourKey uses a specialist AI model trained on professional colour science and brand-specific product knowledge — not a general-purpose chatbot. The formula engine applies colourist rules, mixing ratios and developer guidelines specific to each brand.
Does it work for all hair types?
Yes — straight, wavy, curly, coily, fine and coarse. The AI adjusts for texture and density when calculating mixing bowl amounts and processing recommendations.
