This paper proposes possibilities and methods for using digital electronic technologies for transformation of classical barbershops into modern digital barbershops. Digital electronic technologies are widely used across different sectors of lives including banking, retailing, and education. Application of sensors enables increasing speed, security and efficiency of all operations and services in hair styling industry, bringing the traditional service into a new level and creating new values to both production and consumption ecosystems. It generates many comparative advantages for both the suppliers and users of hair styling services.
