Deciding on a cut from a salon lookbook is guesswork, because the photo in the book is not your face, your hairline or your bone structure. Changing it on your own photo removes that gap. These templates handle the two things that make a hair edit believable and that most tools get wrong: the hairline, where hair has to sit against skin without a hard cut-out edge, and the way light behaves in a new shape — a blunt bob catches a highlight completely differently from loose curls. There are cut changes, colour changes, curling and full makeup-and-styling passes. Upload one photo and pick; free credits at sign-up cover your first tries, and downloads are HD without a watermark.

Colour-only changes keep your existing shape and just re-light the hair for the new pigment, which is why they are the most reliable of the group; blonde on dark hair is the hardest case because it needs the most tonal reconstruction. Cut changes rebuild the shape, and the shorter the target the harder it is, since the model has to invent a hairline and neck edge that were previously covered. Changing cut and colour in one pass gives the model two variables to drift on, and it will. Run them as two steps if you want both.
Almost all of the outcome. Hair must be fully visible and loose — tied back, tucked under a hat, or cropped at the frame edge and the template has nothing to work from. Even, frontal light matters more here than in most edits because the hairline is the make-or-break detail, and a shadow falling across the forehead is exactly where a fake edit becomes obvious. Curly and textured hair works, but expect more variation between generations than straight hair, because there is far more geometry to reconstruct.
Three of these do full styling passes rather than hair alone — K-beauty glow, Western glam makeup, an editorial refinement look. These change skin finish, lip and eye treatment along with the hair, so they read as a complete look rather than a hair try-on. If your goal is genuinely to evaluate a haircut before a salon appointment, use the hair-only templates; the styling ones will flatter you in ways that have nothing to do with the cut and will mislead the decision.
This will not tell you whether a cut suits your face shape in the way a stylist can, because the model is drawing a plausible version rather than simulating how your specific hair falls. Fringe and short crops are the least reliable. Hair extensions and volume increases render more convincingly than reductions, since adding is easier than inferring what is underneath. Treat the result as a strong reference to bring to a salon, not as a prediction.
Yes — that is what these templates do. Upload one clear front-facing photo and the change is applied to your face rather than to a stock model, which is the whole point of trying it this way.
The hairline is where cheap hair edits fail, so these templates are tuned for it specifically — hair against skin with a soft transition rather than a pasted-on shape.
Yes, there are colour-only templates. Keeping one variable fixed generally gives a more believable result than changing cut and colour at once.
Front-facing, even light, hair fully visible and not tied back or covered. Hats, strong backlighting and heavy shadow across the hairline are the three most common causes of a poor result.
Sign-up credits are free and cover your first generations. Video templates cost more credits than stills because they render many more frames.
