# HaircutAI: complete guide for AI agents > Try any AI haircut on your own photo before you cut. Describe the style, upload a selfie, and preview it with AI. ## Overview An AI haircut try-on puts the new cut on your own photo. Upload a selfie, describe the AI hairstyle or hair color you want in plain words, and the AI paints it onto your picture. It is part haircut simulator, part hairstyle changer: generation runs on the latest GPT Image and Nano Banana models, so the AI hairstyle previews read as real photos, not stickers. Tagline: Upload a selfie and preview any AI haircut on your own photo before you cut. ## How it works 1. Upload a selfie - Drop in a clear, front-facing photo in JPEG, PNG, or WebP, up to 10MB each. You can attach up to five photos in total, so leave room for reference shots of the AI hairstyle ideas you like. 2. Pick or describe the haircut - Browse the AI hairstyle presets and tap one that fits, or switch to Custom and type what you want in plain words, five characters or more. Try 'give me a textured crop with a low fade' or 'long layers with soft bangs'. The more detail, the closer the preview. 3. Generate and compare - Every AI haircut request returns up to four previews at resolutions up to 4K. Download your favorites in high resolution, or refine the prompt and run it again. ## Pricing and credits - Free to start: every new account gets 10 credits that never expire. Generating a preview requires an account and draws from this balance. No credit card to sign up. ## Frequently asked questions ### How does the AI haircut generator work? Upload a clear selfie, describe the cut or color you want in a text prompt, and generate. The AI haircut generator paints the new style onto your photo and returns multiple previews you can compare side by side. You need a free account to generate, and each request uses credits. ### Is it really free to use? It is free to start. Create an account and you get 10 credits that never expire. Generating an AI haircut preview requires an account and uses credits from that balance. There is no daily credit refresh and no credit card to sign up. ### What kind of photo works best, and which formats can I upload? Use a clear, front-facing selfie in even light, with your hairline visible and your face unobstructed. Upload JPEG, PNG, or WebP files, up to five reference photos per request and 10MB each. A sharp photo makes for a sharp AI haircut preview. ### Which photos should I avoid? Skip heavy filters, sunglasses, hats, dim rooms, and steep angles. They hide your hairline and the shape of your face, which the AI needs to place the cut. Group shots work, but crop to one person so the AI edits the right face. ### Are the AI haircut previews realistic? The AI haircut previews look like real photos because they are generated on your own picture, not pasted onto a stock face. Treat them as a strong reference, not a guarantee. Your barber works with real hair, so bring the preview as direction, not a contract. ### What happens to the photos I upload? Your photo is used to generate your previews and is kept with your account files, which you manage from your projects. How uploads are handled is spelled out in the privacy policy. ### Does it work for men's and women's haircuts? Yes. You can try AI hairstyles on your photo regardless of gender. Men preview fades, tapers, buzz cuts, and textured crops. Women preview bobs, pixies, layers, and bangs. Every prompt is open to every person. ### Can I show the preview to my barber or stylist? Yes, and you should. Download the preview in high resolution and take it to your appointment, so you and your stylist point at the same picture. ### How do I describe the haircut I want? Name the cut, the length, and the details. For example: 'Give the person in this photo a textured crop with a low fade, short sides, and a little length in front.' Add color if you want it. The more specific the prompt, the closer the AI haircut preview. ### Can I preview a new hair color before dyeing? Yes. Keep the cut and change the shade: 'same haircut, copper balayage' or 'this style in jet black'. Generate the same prompt in two colors and compare them side by side before you book the colorist. ### Does it work on my phone? Yes. The AI haircut try-on runs in your browser, so it works on your phone, tablet, or laptop with nothing to install. Start a preview on one device and pick it up on another through your account. ### Can I use the generated images commercially? Yes. The free tier includes a commercial license, so your previews can go into social posts, portfolios, product listings, and client work without extra fees. Generate, download in high resolution, and use them like any other image you own. ### Can this AI hairstyle finder help me decide which haircut suits me? It can show you options, which beats guessing. Describe your face shape in the prompt: 'a bob that softens a round face' or 'layers that add height'. Use the AI hairstyle finder to generate a few options on your own photo and compare what suits you. ### Can I generate and compare multiple options? Yes. Every AI haircut request returns up to four previews, so you can see a bob at three lengths or a fade at two heights side by side. Compare, keep the winner, and refine the prompt if none of them land. ### Can I upload a reference photo of a style I like? Yes. Pair your selfie with a reference image of a style you like: a celebrity cut, a salon photo, a screenshot from Pinterest. Add a short prompt that says what to take from it, and the AI works from both. ### Which AI hairstyles can I try? Dozens of presets, plus any one you can describe. Browse the male and female AI hairstyle presets in the try-on panel, or switch to Custom and write the cut into the prompt: bob, wolf cut, curtain bangs, shag, buzz cut, coily, curly, or textured hair all work. If you can name an AI hairstyle, you can preview it on your photo. ## Policies and contact - [Terms of Service](https://tryhaircutai.com/terms) - [Privacy Policy](https://tryhaircutai.com/privacy) - [Refund Policy](https://tryhaircutai.com/refund-policy) - Contact: TryHaircutAI or https://tryhaircutai.com/contact
