Women have always flocked to restrooms in packs to touch up their hair in the mirror. In the past, and up until recently, this might have consisted of a little combing, a small flip of the hair, maybe even a spritz of hairspray. But now one company has taken this concept one step further.
 

After their product’s huge success overseas, the folks over at Beautiful Vending have made the Beautiful Hair Styler—a self-sterilizing GHD Ceramic Hot Iron for hair touch ups on the go—available in the U.S. These machines are placed in trendy venues—think nightclubs, fitness centers, tanning salons, shopping malls, colleges, airports—and work off of a controlled timer system that activates the ceramic hot irons when you insert cash into the dollar bill acceptor.

The Beautiful Hair Styler was recently awarded The International Vending Product Of The Year by the vending industry and is distributed in more than 16 countries worldwide.

Pretty neat, huh? Maybe all those moments when you wished you had a curling iron ready while out will soon be a thing of the past! What do you think? Would you use this product? Leave a comment!
