Virtual Hairstyle Try-on FAQ’s.
What kind of photo should I upload for the virtual hairstyle try-on?
- Use a clear, front-facing selfie in JPG or PNG format under 5MB. Bright, natural lighting and a relaxed expression help produce the best results. Avoid hair covering your eyes, and for accuracy, it’s best to remove glasses.
How does the virtual hairstyle try-on tool work?
You’ll receive two images: one with the model’s hairstyle applied to your face, and one with your face blended onto the model. This gives you a realistic preview of the new look from both perspectives.
How do I select a hairstyle to try on?
Browse over 1,000 styles on our hairstyle gallery. Choose a look you like — ideally matching your age and vibe — and you’ll be taken directly to the virtual try-on tool for an instant preview.
Can I trust the preview image when visiting my hairstylist?
Our tool offers a fun and realistic look at new styles, but results may vary. If your stylist brings your new hairstyle to life, we’d love to see your transformation! And if it doesn’t go as planned, your feedback helps us improve.
Can I try on hairstyles from different angles?
Currently, we support front-facing photos only. But we’re working on a 360° virtual makeover experience that lets you preview hairstyles from every angle in a short video clip. Stay tuned!
