For as long as there have been humans, there has been a concept called “fashion.” And for as long as there has been fashion, the styling and adornment of hair has been its crowning aspect. However, fashion is fickle – it changes with the seasons, and it often takes years or even decades for a particular “look” to come back in style. Faced with the fickleness of fashion, many women find themselves fighting the natural texture of their hair, and many turn to hair irons to achieve that perfect style.
But the issue with using a hair iron to tame your natural texture is that of portability. Hair does not stay in place forever – dozens of gels, sprays, pomades, and other liquid products make their money off of improving the longevity of a style. However, there are plenty of places where having a hair iron on hand would be a cheaper alternative to spending hundreds of dollars looking for the most effective gel or cream; for example, take the local nightclub, gym, pool, or even high school or college locker room. Anywhere a woman’s hair can get wet or sweat-soaked is a place where a hair iron would be a useful tool. And yet, no matter how large a woman’s tote bag may be, there simply is not enough space to carry a big, unwieldy hair iron everywhere she goes.
This is where Fashion Vending USA’s new Glamourbuddy comes in. The Glamourbuddy is a coin-operated hair iron vending machine designed for installation in ladies’ rooms in the aforementioned venues and others like them. While the idea of a coin-operated hair iron has been around for a long time, the Glamourbuddy may well be the one that finally makes it to the mainstream, due to its adaptability, attractive design, and high-tech features.
What are these features, you ask? Well, the Glamourbuddy’s first and best virtue is its cleanliness. Perhaps the first phrase you thought of when you heard “rental hair iron” was ew, gross. The Glamourbuddy takes on the challenge of hygiene with heat – the hair iron contained within it is kept at very high temperatures in between uses in order to kill any nasty bacteria that may be lurking in a previous user’s hair. Another feature of the Glamourbuddy is its incredible adaptability. It truly is a machine with global capabilities; it can be programmed for any currency and many languages – “learning” up to two at a time. And if your language does not appear on the list of preprogrammed languages, Fashion Vending USA will be happy to help you record your own message.
