Halo is a technology company building the future of haircare for all textures through exceptional engineering and human-centered design.
We create category-defining products built for the complexities others overlook.
We're building Halo Braid, the world’s first braid assist device.
It helps stylists finish braids 5 times faster, flawlessly and gently.
This is one of the hardest unsolved problems in robotics, applied to a $270B salon services industry, and integrating computer vision, compliant fiber manipulation, and novel mechanisms.
Billions of hours are spent braiding hair each year.
Halo Braid gives that time back.
We’re moving from R&D into deployment with salons, and backed by leading investors Seven Seven Six, Alley Corp, and Bling Capital.
