Private preview
AI Hairstyle Try-On for Choosing Your Next Haircut
The AI hairstyle try-on creates a private concept preview from 1 to 3 reviewed styles you selected before uploading a photo. One selection creates a focused preview; more selections support a side-by-side comparison of broad changes in length, fringe, volume, and silhouette before a haircut. It does not diagnose your face or guarantee a salon result. Sign in before a photo is uploaded. Each verified account can use one free watermarked preview, subject to the site-wide daily budget, or use purchased credits that do not expire. Session originals and generated results remain private, can be deleted immediately, and are scheduled for deletion within 24 hours. No ads. No rewarded videos.
Your shortlist
0 styles ready
Choose 1–3 reviewed styles first.
Start with 1 style for one free watermarked preview per verified account, subject to daily availability. Compare 2–3 styles—or continue after your free preview—with purchased credits.
Choose stylesBefore using the virtual hairstyle try-on
Choose a style first, use a clear front-facing photo, and remove hats or heavy obstructions. Keep the camera near eye level and use even light so the existing hairline and outline are visible. A virtual hairstyle try on is strongest when every selected style uses the same original photo. Review the privacy and credit state before generating rather than uploading an image only to discover that the chosen path is unavailable.
Decision guide
Best for
People who have selected a reviewed style and want a private silhouette comparison on one photo.
Main tradeoff
The generated image is a concept reference, not a guarantee of curl behavior, density, color, or outcome.
Ask your barber or stylist
Ask how the preview should be adapted to your starting length, growth pattern, and daily routine.
How the AI hairstyle try-on works
The virtual hairstyle try on starts when the selected catalog IDs determine which reviewed haircut concepts are sent into the generation workflow. The server checks that every ID exists and that 1 to 3 styles are selected for purchased credits, or exactly one style is selected for the verified-account free preview. A query parameter cannot change the fixed 1K output or bypass eligibility and balance checks.
Generation uses the same original photo for the selected styles so the results are easier to compare. The tool keeps the original visible and does not automatically declare a winner. A result may arrive before the rest of a purchased batch, and an individual failure can be retried without discarding successful items.
Use a photo that supports a fair comparison
Choose an adult front-facing photo with the head and current hair fully visible. Natural or soft even light is better than a bright window behind you. Keep the face near the center, avoid extreme camera angles, and use an image that is sharp enough to show the hairline without aggressive filters.
Hats, hands, large headphones, heavy shadows, and hair covering most of the face make the intended outline harder to interpret. A neutral expression is usually easier to compare than a dramatic pose. The tool accepts supported image formats and validates file size before the private upload is used for generation.
Understand the purchased-credit comparison
The purchased preview supports 1 to 3 styles. Each selected style creates one fixed 1K preview and consumes 1 purchased credit. One-time credits do not expire, and there is currently no subscription.
Balance checks and reservations happen on the server so a manipulated client cannot bypass the rules. If a generation fails because of a system or provider error, the affected purchased-credit charge is automatically reversed.
Keep the photo private and short lived
The original and generated media use private storage rather than a public gallery. Signed media access is limited to the authorized session, and photo identifiers, object keys, prompts, or signed URLs must not enter analytics. Private result states stay out of the sitemap and public metadata.
Session originals and generated results are scheduled for deletion within 24 hours, and the interface provides an immediate delete action. A private default photo and explicitly saved results remain until the account owner deletes them. If deletion fails, the product reports the failure and allows another attempt instead of pretending the media is gone.
Know what a virtual hairstyle cannot prove
A generated concept can suggest the visual difference between a crop, bob, fringe, curl shape, or long layer pattern. It cannot confirm the exact density, growth direction, shrinkage, chemical process, extensions, color correction, or cutting technique needed in real life. Small facial and hair details may also change during generation.
Use the result to identify questions for a barber or stylist. Ask whether the required length exists, how the shape will behave with your natural texture, how much daily styling is assumed, and what the first appointment can realistically achieve. The preview becomes more valuable when it leads to a clearer consultation rather than a promise.
Frequently asked questions
Can I preview a hairstyle without signing in?
You can browse and build a shortlist without signing in, but photo upload and generation require an account so eligibility, credits, private media access, and deletion can be enforced.
How many styles can I compare?
Choose 1 to 3 reviewed styles with purchased credits. Each selected style creates one fixed 1K preview and uses 1 purchased credit. The one-time free preview supports one style.
How long are my photos stored?
Session originals and generated results are scheduled for deletion within 24 hours and can be deleted immediately. A private default photo and explicitly saved results remain until you delete them.
Will the generated haircut look exactly the same in real life?
No. It is a concept preview. Natural texture, density, hairline, starting length, color, growth pattern, and professional technique can produce a different real result.
Why should I choose styles before an AI hairstyle try on?
Choosing first prevents an unstructured generation flow and makes the privacy and credit decision clearer. It also ensures every requested style comes from the reviewed catalog with practical maintenance and barber guidance.
