I actually wanted to develop a tool, not a toy.
A lot of folk choose their hairstyle based on what looks nice on being else, but I wanted folk to be able to see what would-be look nice on them. A jagged or blurred front view just isn’t nice enough. So, we set just about developing Stellure, and after more than a year of development and technical innovations here we are.

on many a aspects of it.

accessible on the Internet?

styles to elegant, business, and everyday styles. We’ll be emotional
new general and specialized collections soon.
As you can imagine, each style is really time-consuming to create in 3D. At the moment we’ve got 6 and 12 month memberships accessible at really low prices.
