Questions
What is a haircut simulator for men?
A haircut simulator puts a new cut on your own photo, so you see it on your face before the barber. The HaircutAI simulator does it in the browser in about 20 seconds.
Is the HaircutAI haircut simulator free?
Your first try-on is free: one cut on your own photo, with no sign-in. More cuts, and which ones suit your face, are in the HaircutAI app.
Can I see a fade on me before the barber?
Yes. The HaircutAI haircut simulator has the taper fade, low fade and drop fade, three of the 58 cuts in the simulator. Pick one and add a selfie.
Does the haircut simulator change my face?
No. The HaircutAI haircut simulator changes only the hair. Your face, skin tone, expression and background stay the same.
Is my photo saved?
HaircutAI does not save the photo you use for the free try-on. To count the one free try, it keeps a code made from the photo, not the photo itself.
Can I show the result to my barber?
Yes. A photo of you with the cut shows the barber the length and shape you want, on your own hairline. It is clearer than a description or a photo of someone else.
Which haircut suits my face shape?
It depends on your face shape. The crew cut and low fade suit round and square faces best, and the French crop suits long faces. The HaircutAI app reads your face shape from one selfie.
Why try a haircut before the barber?
A short cut you regret takes months to grow back: hair grows about half an inch (1.25 cm) a month. A haircut simulator shows you the cut on your face first.
