CyberImaging Color, the Newest Product, Offers Virtual Color Experimentation

Raleigh, NC, May 22, 2002 - Cyber Imaging Systems, the market leader in hairstyle imaging software for salons and cosmetology schools, today unveiled the latest release of its CyberImaging™ suite. The original component of the suite is CyberImaging Consultation, which allows a stylist to take photographs of clients, then use computer simulation to help them visualize how they would look wearing different styles and colors. The suite now also includes CyberImaging Color, with which salon clients can preview new color variations of their existing hairstyles, in a virtual environment, using color palettes from major color lines.

CyberImaging Color, the Newest Product, Offers Virtual Color Experimentation - With its new CyberImaging Color, available immediately, Cyber Imaging Systems provides a cost-effective way for salons to offer clients a realistic and compelling preview of new color variations of their existing styles. The hair color imaging begins with a digital photo of the client's existing hairstyle and color. The original color can then be manipulated by making selections from pre-defined manufacturer's color palettes, or by mixing unique colors. The entire color consultation takes less than ten minutes. This exclusive functionality is possible as a result of proprietary CyberImaging imaging technology, blue-screen technology, and advancements in digital photography.

"CyberImaging Color gives us just the tool we need to assist clients who are interested in changing color but not hairstyle," said Nick Lorenzini, of Colorific Hair Color Salon in Springfield, Illinois. "This provides an easy way for a colorist to open a dialogue with a client - great for first-time clients who might be a little nervous about trying color. Our clients can experiment with different colors, risk-free, then choose their new colors with confidence. For a color-focused salon like us, this is a tremendous asset." Colorific Hair Color Salon is one of more than 20 salons already using CyberImaging Color.

"Hair color is what drives clients to maintain their salon appointments," stated Hal Wilson, co-founder and President of Cyber Imaging Systems. "And color has become the leading service for attracting new people to a salon. This is why color is the cornerstone of the salon profit picture. CyberImaging Color can help salons strengthen their color departments and grow their business."

CyberImaging Suite Allows Salon to Help Clients Make Changes With Confidence - With CyberImaging Consultation and Color, salons can use computer simulation to offer their clients the option of experimenting with just their hairstyles, or just their color, or both style and color, in a realistic, virtual environment.

"Salons are doing more hair color than in the past, across all age groups," said Mr. Wilson. "This new addition to our software suite provides salons with the ultimate tool to take advantage of this trend and to help clients make changes to their appearance with confidence."
