Impact of Voice AI Beauty Experience Service on User Expectations and Intention to Use Voice AI Services

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the impact of voice artificial intelligence (AI) beauty experience services on the acceptance expectations of voice AI services and the intention to use voice AI. Methods: We collected data from hairdressing professionals in their 20s and 30s and analyzed them using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 22.0. The analysis methods included frequency, factor, reliability, and regression analyses. Results: The general characteristics of the survey participants were as follows: female gender, age in the 20s, college education (enrolled/graduated), work experience of <2 years, monthly salary under 1.5–2 million KRW, working hours of ≤8, working days of 2 per week, and >10 employees in the workplace. Scalp management was the most preferred voice AI service consultation topic. Validity and reliability tests revealed interest, usefulness, reliability, and ease of use as factors for voice AI beauty experience services; performance expectations and usage expectations as factors for the acceptance expectations of voice AI services; and usage intention as a factor for the intention to use voice AI services. Acceptance expectations of voice AI services and the intention to use voice AI demonstrated a positive and significant impact on voice AI beauty experience services. Conclusion: The results of this study provide foundational data for the development of the beauty industry. The beauty industry should plan and implement the development of voice AI beauty experience service programs.
