UPDATE: As of August 2021 Kitomba is no longer integrated with piiq. If you’re interested in using Kitomba and piiq together, please submit a feature request in our forum.

We’re excited to announce that we’ve integrated with piiq – a total game-changer for the salon industry!

What is piiq?

piiq is a game-changing digital mirror that promises to revolutionise your client consultation experience. The piiq pod:

• Uses an integrated camera, beauty lighting, face shape recognition and embedded client consultation software to match your clients to celebrities and provide a highly engaging consultation experience.
• Enables the stylist to simply provide expert product recommendations which increases product sales
• Captures a 360 degree image of the finished look to show and record your clients progress.
• Increases social media reach by encouraging clients to share their piiq experience.

Why piiq?

97% of hairdressers say they complete a consultation for each of their clients. However only 7% of clients think they’ve received a consultation. Piiq has been developed to close that gap and help improve client consultations.

Why has Kitomba integrated with piiq?

Kitomba and piiq are fully integrated to help stylists effectively and consistently perform client consultations with minimal effort.

With access to Kitomba, piiq can leverage existing client appointment details and display them on the stylists tablet. It can also see what retail products are in stock and their prices to help clients choose the products they want to take home.
