Apparatus and method for optimized hairstyle guide generation

An apparatus for generating an optimized hairstyle guide for use with a hair clipper, the apparatus comprising:

• the hair clipper, adapted to provide orientation and measurement functionalities;
• a processor;
• a memory that stores instructions, which when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
• acquire a plurality of reference points for mapping a hairstyle onto a head of a subject, wherein each of the plurality of reference points is associated with a respective position relative to the head of the subject and a hair length value;
• receive a first user input for adjusting at least one of the relative position and the hair length value of a selected reference point;
• adjust, based on the first user input, the relative position and the hair length value of one or more non-selected reference points;
• generate, based on one or more predetermined rules, the optimized hairstyle guide for mapping the hairstyle, wherein the optimized hairstyle guide comprises the adjusted reference points;
• and
• a digital user interface, which enables a user to select, create, and transfer a desired hairstyle to the hair clipper, wherein:
• the digital user interface generates an output comprising the optimized hairstyle guide in a visual representation format at a display and provides instructions, which when executed by the processor, further cause the hair clipper to perform necessary maneuvers to achieve the desired hairstyle;
• the visual representation format comprises a reference point;
• and the plurality of reference points and their associated longitudinal sections are provided on the user interface for a visualization.
