Question
Would like to create a prototype of the device to implement into an existing hair salon product. Should I patent the device?
Recently completed a business plan for re-designing an existing Hair Salon Product. I am not an engineer and would like to create a prototype.
Answer
I would definitely recommend to patent, first do a search to see where you are standing.
What kind of prototype do you need: 3D printed, CNC machined? I normally go with 3D prototypes and, if the product is successful, build soft tools (which cost around 70% less than final molds). This allows you to test & improve your product according to market needs...
Success!
