AT A GLANCE

Key points

  • Turns hair and nail Pins into actionable guides
  • Combines visual understanding with a language model
  • Initial access is limited to US iOS users

What is changing?

Pinterest launched Beauty Guides, a new visual AI experience, on October 6. The feature analyzes hair and nail Pins to identify details such as hairstyle, color, nail shape and finish. Pinterest combines its visual understanding system with a language model to create a personalized guide covering what to ask for at the salon, what to expect at the appointment, similar looks, relevant products and steps to try at home.

Users can open an eligible Pin in close-up and tap “Get the Guide” to save the result. Beauty Guides is currently available only to iOS users in the United States; Pinterest plans to expand to more regions and product categories. For creative teams, this is an example of turning visual inspiration into a structured creative brief. Salon timing, costs and care advice still need to be checked against local conditions.
