Extremely creative hairdressing/styling. I'm being serious - It will be a safe and well-paid job. Some hairdressers in London already charge £500 for a haircut.
1. Women are extremely protective of their hair. The idea of letting a robot cut it is a no-go for many women.
2. Cutting hair is complex both in terms of the problem and also the mechanics.
3. The profit margin in hair vs. investment required to get rid of hairdressers means investment will probably not be significant until its low hanging fruit way into the future.
4. Computers/AI aren't good yet at judging style.
5. Hair has never gone out of fashion.
6. A cure for baldness has pretty much been discovered - get ready for more men spending big on their new haircuts.
7. Greying will be cured soon - expect older men to start spending more on their new grey-free hair.
8. Expect more near-term creative hair technology to increase the creativity of the hairdresser rather than replace them.
