Salons have used before/after photos for decades. The AI version cut the salon out — upload a selfie, see a dozen possible cuts and colors in seconds. @thecutclub on Instagram popularized it as 'commit-less hair makeovers' in February 2026, targeting people already in the stylist's chair trying to decide. The trend stuck because it actually works: a single photo gets a realistic preview, and the variations are good enough that hairdressers reference them.

Questions

Is the output a photo or a video?

A photo. Hairstyles are a still-image trend — there's no motion to add.

Does it work on all hair types?

Yes. We test against straight, wavy, coily, and locked hair.

Can I save styles to show my stylist?

Every generation lives in your Generations tab and downloads as a JPG.

Can I try color changes?

Color is bundled with each style preset for now. Dedicated color-only previews are on the roadmap.
