I built an AI hairstyle try-on tool because haircut regret is expensive

A bad haircut is annoying because you live with it for weeks, not minutes. I wanted a way to sanity-check a new look before booking anything, so I built AI Hairstyle Changer.

It is simple on purpose:

  • upload a selfie
  • pick a preset style or describe one
  • generate a preview in a few seconds
  • try hair color too if you want

A few things I learned while building it:

  1. Most people do not want a blank prompt box first. They want a few good starting options.
  2. "Does this suit my face?" matters more than perfect image sharpness.
  3. Privacy defaults matter a lot.

If you want to try it, it is here:

I am still tuning prompt quality and hairstyle presets, so I would love blunt feedback:

  • which styles are missing
  • what makes a result feel fake
  • whether you would trust a tool like this before a real haircut
