What people say after they stopped guessing.
Jordan Mercer
Two years of talking myself out of a buzz cut. Saw it on my own head and booked the same afternoon.
dev.kapoor
wasnt sure about the mullet. glad i checked first lol
Sofia Lindqvist
went back and forth on bangs for MONTHS. four seconds of seeing them on my own face and it was a no
Robin Tavares
the wolf cut actually suited me which i genuinely did not expect
Chloe Traynor
I have a round face and every guide online contradicts the last one. Seeing it beat reading about it.
Tom Halvorsen
showed my barber the render instead of some photo off pinterest. first time hes got it exactly right
josh_nk
was set on a perm. two renders in, i was not
Nia Robinson
I am a barber and I use this in consultations now. Three options side by side, the client picks, and nobody argues about it after.
Kofi Asante
locs are a big commitment. wanted to see them on my own face first and not on some guy with a completely different head shape
Grace Adeyemi
the curly results were the surprise honestly. most of these just paste straight hair on you
Mei Wong
no more salon mood board 🙌
Yasmin Haddad
Sent four options to the group chat before the wedding. Nobody had to be polite about a photo of a stranger.
Helen Brandt
tried platinum on the screen first. absolutely not, and i saved myself about 400 bucks finding that out
Wes Ashcroft
grew it out eight months for a look i ruled out in twenty seconds. want those months back
Carmen Ruiz
copper read way warmer on me than i expected. went for it that week
Sam Keller
My hairline is going and I wanted to know what a shaved head would actually look like before I committed to it. Now I know, and it is fine.
Marcus Devine
showed my barber the side view instead of trying to describe it. he knew exactly where to stop the fade - first time ever
Lena Voigt
My daughter and I sat with it for an hour picking her first proper cut. No tears at the salon for once.
Jane Mulvaney
grey grow out but on purpose this time. seeing the whole path made it a decision instead of a slow accident
Anjali Raman
walked in with three renders on my phone. stylist actually thanked me
and 64 more reviews

Filters are fun. They are not a plan. Hairstyle Atlas is the only one of these that shows a photorealistic haircut on your real face, matched to your real hair, in the time it takes to read this sentence.

Fresh out of the studio
Recent renders from the same engine you get - every one started as a single photo.
AI hairstyle try-on that still looks like you
Hairstyle Atlas is an AI hairstyle try-on built around a single photo of you. Upload a selfie, pick a cut, and we render it on your own face - your skin, your lighting, your head shape. Used as a haircut simulator it answers the one question worth asking before an appointment: does this cut suit me. Used as an AI hairstyle changer it swaps the hair and leaves the rest of you alone.
Cuts
Fades, crops, buzzes, curtains, wolf cuts, shags, bobs, lobs and pixies. Length is the hardest thing to picture and the slowest to undo, so start there.
Colour
Balayage, money piece, platinum, copper, jet black, silver. See the shade on your own root and length before anyone opens a tube of dye.
Fringe & parting
Curtain, blunt, wispy or side-swept at the front; middle, side or pushed straight back on top. The small calls that change a cut more than the length does.
Every hair type
You pick your hair type during setup. Straight, wavy, curly and coily hang differently, and the cut respects that. Braids, locs, afros and silk presses included.
If you do not know what you want yet, start at what haircut suits me and work back from your face shape. If you already know the change, go straight to it: a buzz cut worth six months of grow-out, a fringe you cannot un-cut, or a colour you cannot rinse out. To try several at once on the same photo, use the AI hairstyle changer.
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers, no hedging.
Your first hairstyle is free, with one colour on it, and needs no card. Upload one selfie, pick a cut - a low taper, a modern mullet, anything in the atlas - and see it on your own face before you commit. When you want more, Starter is $9 a month for 150 credits and Pro is $24 for 480; both add clean HD downloads and the comparison sheets, and Pro adds every angle of the cut.
No. The demo on this page runs without an account. You make one only when you want a look rendered on your own photo and kept in your library.
It is used to create your render. It stays in your library while your account is open, it is readable only by you, and deleting your account removes it. The full detail is in our privacy policy.
That's the point, and it's where filter apps fall over. HairstyleAtlas holds your face, skin tone, hairline and lighting fixed and changes only the hair. If a render alters anything but your hair, that's a bad render - flag it and we re-run it for free, and it doesn't come out of your credits.
Accurate enough to hand to your barber, not a photograph of the future. Hair sits differently once it's actually cut, and a curl pattern can be predicted but not guaranteed. Treat every render as a strong reference image and take it to a professional - it's a brief for the chair, not a promise.
Yes. Jet black, platinum, copper, ash, full silver, a grey grow-out, balayage and a money piece are all in the atlas, and any colour can go on top of any cut.
Yes - men's cuts lead the atlas. Fades, tapers, buzz cuts, crops, curtains, crew cuts and longer styles, from old-money classics to the cuts people are searching for right now. Roughly half the atlas is cut for shorter hair. See the cut on your own head before you tell your barber.
Yes. You choose your texture during setup - straight, wavy, curly or coily - and results are cut for that texture rather than a straight-hair style pasted over you. This is the single most common complaint about other try-on tools, and it's the thing we test hardest.
Face the camera in even light, hair fully visible - no hat, no sunglasses, no beauty filter. A normal front-facing selfie at arm's length is ideal. Shots from below, hair tied back, or heavy backlighting give the weakest results.
You spend credits on pictures, and you always see the price before you tap render. A hairstyle on your photo is 10 credits. A colour on that cut is 5, because it is painted onto the cut you just approved rather than rendered from scratch. A facial-hair change is 10, and on Pro each extra angle - three-quarter, side, back - is another 10. Length, fringe and parting are free: they are part of the same picture, so there is nothing extra to charge for. Starter is 150 credits a month, Pro is 480. A render that fails hands its credits straight back.
Yes, on any paid plan. Free previews carry a small watermark; paid downloads are clean, full resolution and yours to use - send them to your barber, post them, print them. One note: nothing is rendered yet while we are in pre-launch, so there is nothing to download today.
Any time, in two clicks from billing settings. Access runs to the end of the period you already paid for, then stops. No retention maze, no phone call.
Seven days, and we don't attach conditions to how much you used it. If HairstyleAtlas didn't do what you hoped, email us and we refund in full. We're aware that some tools in this category void your guarantee the moment you generate anything. We don't.
Yes, and Pro covers commercial use. Bring a client's photo into the consultation, show three options side by side, and agree the cut before you pick up the clippers. Exports carry your name, not ours.
