Ask anything about hair sourcing, vendors, regions, pricing, or how to start a hair business. Grounded in our 20,000+ salon directory, 187 traced celebrities, and 60+ documented suppliers — not generic AI fluff.
See what’s in Pro →Generic chatbots answer hair-sourcing questions from vibes. The Inches advisor answers from the same live database that powers every page on this site: our directory of documented suppliers with price ranges and minimum orders, the marketplace vendor signals explained in how we work, the sourcing trails behind our traced celebrities, and 20,000+ US salons from public business listings. When an answer cites a vendor or a supplier, it links to that page so you can read the underlying data yourself.
The advisor is at its best on questions our data can actually settle. Which documented suppliers carry raw Indian hair under a given wholesale price. How Brazilian body wave typically retails across channels, and what margin that leaves at your budget. Which marketplace vendors show origin-mismatch signals and what those signals mean. How a celebrity’s stylist-documented vendor trail was built. Where the salons are in your state if you plan to sell locally. If you’d rather have a structured plan than a conversation, the launch optimizer turns five inputs into supplier, pricing, and salon leads directly.
A few openers that put the data to work straight away:
What it can’t see: your private supplier quotes, your shipping costs, or anything sellers haven’t made public. It reasons over the public record — bring your own numbers to the conversation and it will happily work with them.
Everything the advisor knows comes from public information, and origin claims in this market are seller-stated, not audited. US-origin marketing claims are at least formally regulated — the FTC’s Made in USA labeling rule governs unqualified claims — but the “raw Indian” and “Brazilian” labels on marketplace hair mostly go unchecked. Treat every answer as a well-sourced lead to verify, not a guarantee, and never as legal, tax, or financial advice.
Yes. Pro is $29/month and includes the advisor alongside everything else — celebrity vendor lists, the supplier directory, US salon leads, and the pricing tools. There's no separate charge per question.

Yes. It reasons over public information, and public information can be incomplete or stale — origin claims in particular are stated by sellers, not audited. Treat answers as leads, follow the links it gives you, and verify before you spend money.
No. It can explain what our data shows about suppliers, prices, and salons, but nothing it says is legal, tax, or financial advice. For those questions, talk to a licensed professional.
