The Amazon Salon will serve as a test market for the online retailer, allowing them emerging technologies, such as augmented reality (AR) for and “point-and-learn” technology. AR will be used to allow customers to experiment by virtually trying on different hair colors before making a commitment.

To then order the products, the customers can scan the QR code on the shelf which will take them to an Amazon shopping page for they can add the item to their cart and subsequently check out.
