How it works

Step 1

Upload a Clear Portrait

A front-facing photo in even light works best. Make sure your hairline shows.

Step 2

Pick a Hairstyle

Tap a style on the Women or Men tab. It is tried on your photo right away and takes a moment to appear.

Step 3

Compare and Save

Use the compare button to see your original photo, try another style, and download the ones you like.

The first preview is rarely the one, so save anything you're even a little curious about.

What Hairstyle Suits Me?

Usually the one that still looks good on your photo a day later, once the novelty has worn off. Face-shape charts are a decent place to start: round faces often suit length and height, and long faces tend to look more balanced with some width at the sides. A chart can't see your hairline or the glasses you wear every day, though. Put three very different cuts on the same photo and come back to them the next day. Whichever one you still like after sleeping on it is usually worth booking.

Add Volume to Flat Hair

Flat, fine hair is one of the most common reasons people want a change. The Voluminous style shows how a fuller shape would suit your face before you change anything. It also gives you something concrete to show your stylist: words like "fuller" and "lighter" mean something different to everyone, and a picture takes the guesswork out.

Try Men's Hairstyles on Your Own Photo

The Men tab has its own cuts, from Clean Buzz and Sharp Fade to Textured Fringe and Pompadour. Test something shorter and tidier, or find out whether growing your hair out would be worth the awkward in-between stage. Before a big change, show the preview to your barber and ask what your hair type allows.

Take the Preview to Your Stylist

A few saved images make the salon conversation much shorter. Bring two or three previews of the style you're leaning toward, a recent photo of your hair the way you normally wear it, one preview you've ruled out, and an honest idea of how long you'll spend styling it each morning. A preview on your own face is more useful than a celebrity photo, because your stylist can see how the cut sits with your hairline.

Know the Limits of a Haircut Filter

A haircut filter is good at showing shape and length. What it can't show is how your hair will behave once it's cut: thickness, curl, cowlicks, and how your hair grows at the crown all affect the result. Think of a long-hair preview as the result of several months of growing it out.

For a more believable preview, face the camera in soft daylight and keep your hairline visible; hats, sunglasses, and hands near your face get in the way. If warm indoor bulbs tinted your selfie, run it through Photo Color Correction first.
