About Halo
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 developing HaloBraid, the world’s first braid assist device, which helps stylists finish braids 5 times faster, flawlessly and gently. This addresses one of the hardest unsolved problems in robotics, applied to the $270B salon services industry, integrating computer vision, compliant fibre manipulation, and novel mechanisms.
Billions of hours are spent braiding hair annually—*HaloBraid gives that time back. We’re transitioning from R&D to deployment with salons, backed by investors such as Seven Seven Six, AlleyCorp, and Bling Capital.
