HairstyleAI

A one-sentence summary

HairstyleAI is a web tool that uses personal selfies to train custom image models, thereby generating various hairstyle options in bulk. It is useful for exploring different styling ideas before actually getting your hair cut, but the images produced cannot replace a hairstylist’s professional assessment of the hair type, face shape, and the feasibility of certain styles.

Tool Introduction

HairstyleAI is operated by Postcrafts PTE LTD, and its product page indicates that it is powered by the HeadshotPro technology platform. Users need to upload a set of clear photos from different angles; once the system has been trained, it generates various previews of hairstyles for both men and women.

This is neither a real-time camera filter nor a lightweight editor that allows one to change the color of a photo right after uploading it. The current process is more similar to an AI-generated portrait project: it requires preparing multiple selfies and waiting for the model to be trained and for batch rendering to take place.

How the product works

Main functions

Virtual preview of hairstyles for men and women

The platform offers hair style creation services for both men and women, and it provides a large list of hair style names specific to each gender on its public pages. Users can first browse through different styling options, and then use their own selfies to create styles that are closer to their own appearance.

Exclusive character model training

HairstyleAI uses multiple photos uploaded by the user to train a personalized AI model, rather than simply applying fixed wig stickers to the original images. This approach enables the creation of images from different angles and poses, but it also means that the photos are sent to the cloud and to third-party AI processing services.

Generate high-resolution images in bulk

The current project includes 30 unique AI-generated hairstyles and 4 different styles or cuts, for a total of 120 high-resolution images. The batch results facilitate side-by-side comparison, as there is no need to enter separate prompts for each style.

Delivery in about an hour

The official website indicates that the typical processing time is about 1 hour. This figure represents the average value given on the product page; the actual speed can still be affected by factors such as queues, photo quality, training failures, and the condition of the infrastructure.

Gallery filtering and downloading

Once generation is complete, users can view the results in the project gallery and download the photos they like. The official FAQ also states that after making a purchase, it is possible to add additional information on the invoice page and save the invoice as a PDF file.

Immediate deletion from the account

According to the official FAQ, the photos uploaded, the avatars created, and the trained models are deleted from the servers or GPU interfaces within 7 days. If users wish to have them removed earlier, they can use the delete button available in their accounts to remove the relevant data immediately.

Requirements for photo preparation

The quality and variety of the photos have a direct impact on the consistency of the appearance and on the edges of the hairstyles. It is recommended to prepare 20 photos, of which 12 should be close-up shots of the face and 8 should be photos of the upper body.

• Keep clear single photos of the same person, without including other individuals.
• Use different expressions, locations, backgrounds, and shooting angles to avoid having 20 images that are almost identical.
• Try to use original photos that are clear, have even lighting, and are free from obstructions.
• Focus on natural expressions, ensuring coverage of the front, side, and slight head turns.
• Reduce heavy makeup, as the authorities warn that it might be exaggerated in the generated results.
• Do not upload any nude content; although photos of swimsuits or underwear are permitted by the rules, they should not be submitted unless necessary.
• Do not upload photos without your own permission, nor use someone else’s portrait to train personal models.
• Before submitting, remove from the images any documents, addresses, screens, and other sensitive elements that should not be made visible.

Supported image formats

The fact that a certain format is supported does not mean that every photo is suitable for training. Photos that are blurry, heavily compressed, have too small faces, contain excessive filters, or are significantly obscured can still result in lower quality output.

Usage tutorial

Create the first hairstyle project

1. Go to the HairstyleAI website and log in to your account; first, check the current one-time price and what is included in the service.
2. Read the rules regarding privacy, refunds, and rights to generate images, to ensure that you are comfortable with having your photos processed in the cloud.
3. Complete a project purchase and keep the payment receipt as well as the date of the order.
4. Prepare 12 clear close-up photos and 8 upper-body photos, making sure to vary the angles, expressions, and backgrounds.
5. Submit photos in the supported format through the upload interface, and remove any unnecessary sensitive content.
6. Before starting the training, check again the number of characters and photos as well as the implications for refunds, since refunds are generally not possible after the training has begun.
7. Wait for the training of the dedicated model and the generation of 120 hairstyle images; the typical processing time is about 1 hour.
8. Compare hairstyles, postures, and cutting styles group by group, and download high-resolution results that are truly useful for reference.
9. Use the delete button when the project is no longer needed, and verify that the relevant materials have been removed from the account.

How to filter for more useful results

1. First, eliminate images in which the person does not resemble the actual subject, the edges of the hair are abnormal, or the background is distorted.
2. Categorize the satisfactory results into short hair, medium to long hair, long hair, bangs, and special styles.
3. Give priority to options that are similar to one’s actual hair volume, hairline, and hair texture.
4. Select images from different poses of the same hairstyle that are appropriate both in profile and front view.
5. Reduce the number of options to two to four, and then discuss with the barber the length, cut style, and daily maintenance costs.
6. Treat the generated image as a reference for communication; there is no requirement for the barber to replicate the AI-generated effect pixel by pixel.

How should one interpret the generated results?

AI can change the shape of the face, the skin, clothing, background, or head proportions, not just the hair. Users should verify whether the identity of the person depicted is accurate, and avoid using distorted results for medical decisions, hair transplants, or important financial decisions.

Prices and packages

As of August 23, 2026, the official website lists a one-time payment option of $9; there is no information available regarding monthly subscription plans, permanently free access, or the option to purchase tickets individually. Before making a payment, it is necessary to check the currency, taxes, and benefits indicated on the actual payment page.

There is no clear information regarding the price.

• The official website does not offer a free trial or a free preview before generation.
• It is not specified whether repeated training of another character is allowed after purchase.
• There is no indication regarding the number of automatic retries in case of training failure, nor any information on service compensation.
• There are no publicly available prices for additional single photos, extra hairstyles, or long-term cloud storage.
• Taxes, exchange rates, and fees related to payment methods may be displayed separately at the time of settlement.

Refund policy

The official FAQ states that a refund can be requested within 14 days of purchase, as long as the AI has not yet been trained. The terms of service also specify that a refund may not be possible if the training has already started, if more than two copies have been downloaded, or if the current payment period has already been used; furthermore, it is mentioned that 10% of the selling price will be deducted from the refund amount.

Since the wording regarding refundability in the FAQ does not exactly match the percentage deduction specified in the terms, it cannot be considered as an unconditional full refund. The safest approach is to verify the photos and order before uploading them and starting the training process; if any issues arise, apply for a refund immediately through the account’s refund section.

Image rights and commercial use

The official FAQ states that users own the photos and receive full commercial licensing to use them in whatever scenarios are necessary. The terms of service provide a more detailed breakdown: users own the content they upload, while the platform claims ownership of the generated content; it grants exclusive rights to reproduce and display this content to compliant users, and promises not to resell the results created by those users.

The legal wording of the two formulations is not exactly the same, and whether AI-generated images can be protected by copyright varies depending on local laws. Before using them in advertising, for brand purposes, in paid publications, or for client projects, it is necessary to keep records of the orders and relevant terms, as well as to check for any issues related to portraits, trademarks, and third-party rights.

• Only upload photos that you own or for which you have permission.
• Do not publicly share images created by other users.
• The generated content may occasionally resemble materials protected by copyright or trademarks.
• Violating the service terms or content rules may result in the loss of the right to generate images.
• A commercial license does not mean that the platform guarantees that the images have copyright protection in all jurisdictions.
• For important commercial projects, abnormal text, brand logos, clothing, and background elements should be checked manually.

Privacy and photo storage

HairstyleAI handles names, email addresses, payment information, usage data, as well as images uploaded and generated by users. Its privacy policy states that it complies with GDPR, and it allows eligible users to request access to their data, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict its processing, and to obtain a copy of their data.

Third-party processing services

The list of public subcontractors includes infrastructure or training services such as Heroku, Google Cloud, MongoDB, and Astria, as well as content creation, support, email, or analysis services like OpenAI, Stability AI, Splitbee, Crisp, Bento, and Hotjar. This list is subject to change; it is necessary to check the current version before uploading anything.

Inconsistencies in the privacy documents

Certain paragraphs of the privacy policy still contain names of other products, and the terms used therein refer to different companies as well. Such inconsistencies in wording reduce the clarity of legal documents; when dealing with sensitive photos or commercial purchases, it is necessary to consult customer service to determine the actual party in control, the party bound by the contract, and the scope of what needs to be deleted.

Safety and usage rules

• Officials state that TLS is used for web connections, while DKIM, SPF, and DMARC are employed for emails.
• Payments are processed by Stripe, and the platform claims that it does not store users’ credit card information.
• One account can only be used by one user, and each user is allowed to have only one account.
• The use of automated tools to access the service or to generate content in bulk is prohibited.
• Reverse engineering is prohibited, and the service may not be used for competitive research.
• Users must be at least 13 years old and meet the digital consent age in their country.
• The platform requires that the content be suitable for users over 13 years old; adult, violent, bloody, and harassing content is prohibited.
• The service is provided as it is, without any guarantee of stability, continuous availability, or that the results generated will meet specific quality standards.

APIs, SDKs, and open-source status

As of this verification, the HairstyleAI official website does not provide any public APIs, SDKs, developer documentation, or solutions for enterprise integration. The internal interfaces on the website are not equivalent to public APIs that can be automatically called by third parties; in fact, the terms in effect prohibit automated tools from accessing or generating content through those interfaces.

No official open-source repositories released by HairstyleAI or Postcrafts were found. The hairstyle generation projects with similar names that appeared in the search results are works created by third parties, and cannot be considered as the source code or official SDK for these commercial products.

Which users are it suitable for

• Individuals who are planning to get their hair cut: First, compare short hair, long hair, bangs, and different haircut styles.
• Users who frequently change their hairstyle: Use a set of results to identify options that merit discussion with a barber.
• Content creators: Create avatar, cover, or styling inspiration content after obtaining the appropriate rights.
• The barber communicates with the customer: using the desired outcome as a starting point for discussing the shape and length.
• Wedding or event planners: Compare in advance the hairstyle options that suit the clothing and the occasion.
• Those who prefer to avoid trying things out directly: reducing the uncertainty associated with major changes in hairstyle before actually having it cut.

Typical use cases

• Compare the impact of straight bangs, fringe bangs, and no bangs on the proportions of the facial features.
• Assess the general appearance resulting from cutting long hair into a bob, a pixie cut, or layered short hair.
• Test the visual orientation of curly hair, straight hair, braided hair, ponytails, and updoed hair.
• Prepare two to four clear reference images of different hairstyles for the haircut appointment.
• Create social profile pictures or creative character photos with different hairstyles.
• Compare multiple hairstyles before important events, without actually cutting, perming, or coloring.

Product advantages

• A single project can generate 30 different hairstyles and 120 high-resolution images, providing a wide range of options.
• Training a personal model using multiple selfies makes it easier to preserve the characteristics of the person, compared to using simple textures.
• Haircuts for both men and women are covered, and a large number of publicly available style names are provided to inspire creativity.
• The one-time price of $9 is straightforward; there are no public membership plans that require ongoing renewal.
• It supports JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC formats, and is compatible with common phone photos.
• The official FAQ offers options for automatic deletion after 7 days and immediate deletion of the account.
• Users are granted a broad license for commercial use of the generated images.
• It is possible to generate a purchase invoice and save it as a PDF.

Main limitations

• There is no public free trial, and it is not possible to verify identity consistency using the same process before making a purchase.
• Refunds are generally not available once training has begun, and subjective dissatisfaction does not constitute a valid reason for a refund.
• The FAQ and the terms of service do not provide exactly the same information regarding the amount of refunds.
• The generated image may alter the face, head shape, clothing, or background, and hair artifacts may appear.
• AI is unable to accurately determine the actual amount of hair, hair quality, hair growth direction, hairline, and whether a haircut is feasible.
• The photos will be processed by third-party infrastructure and AI services in the United States and other regions.
• Legal documents contain other product names and different designations for entities, resulting in limited clarity.
• There are no public APIs, SDKs, native mobile apps, or verifiable official open-source projects.

Basic information

Recommendation score

Recommendation score: 4.1 / 5. HairstyleAI generates a large number of hairstyles and high-quality images at once; the one-time price of $9 is reasonable, making it suitable for individual users who want to carefully compare different haircut options.

The main drawbacks are the need to upload a large number of selfies, the lack of a free preview option, very limited time frames for refunds, and inconsistencies in the wording on the privacy and terms pages. Users who are sensitive to facial photos should prefer tools that allow processing locally or that enable instant try-ons with fewer photos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is HairstyleAI a real-time hairstyle change filter?

No. It uses a set of personal selfies to train a dedicated AI model, which then generates various hairstyles and poses in bulk; typically, an waiting time of about 1 hour is required.

How many photos need to be uploaded?

Officials recommend uploading 20 photos, of which 12 should be close-up shots of the face and 8 should be photos of the upper body. The expressions, backgrounds, locations, and angles should vary.

How many images are generated at one time?

The current $9 package includes 30 unique AI-generated hairstyles, 4 different styles or cuts, for a total of 120 high-resolution images.

Is HairstyleAI free?

The official website does not offer any free trial or permanent free quota at the moment. The main option is a one-time payment of $9; it is necessary to check the billing page to see if taxes are included in that amount.

Can I get a refund?

A refund can be requested within 14 days of purchase, as long as the AI training has not yet begun; however, the terms specify restrictions such as a limit on the number of downloads and a 10% deduction. Once training is started, it is generally not possible to obtain a refund.

How long will the photos be stored?

According to the official FAQ, photos uploaded, generated avatars, and trained models are deleted within 7 days; they can also be removed immediately using the delete button in the account. Payment information or dispute-related data required by law may be retained for a longer period.

Which photo formats are supported?

JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC are supported, while AVIF and GIF are not. Even if the format is correct, it is advisable to choose photos that are clear, with no objects covering the subjects, and taken from various angles.

Can the generated images be used for commercial purposes?

The official FAQ grants users a full commercial license as well as ownership rights, while the terms of service stipulate that the content uploaded by users remains their property, with the platform having permission to use the content that is created there. Business projects should keep records of these terms and verify third-party rights on their own.

Does HairstyleAI have a mobile app?

No official iOS or Android native applications were found during this verification. Users primarily use web interfaces for operations, and the support for HEIC file uploads does not indicate the existence of an Apple-specific client.

Does HairstyleAI offer an API?

No public APIs, SDKs, or developer documentation were found. The terms of service also prohibit the use of automated tools for accessing and generating content; therefore, it is not allowed to scrape web interfaces on one’s own.

Is HairstyleAI open source?

The product itself is not open source, and no verifiable official GitHub repository has been found. Any open-source hair styling projects with the same name or similar names available online belong to third parties.

Can the AI-generated results be given directly to the barber?

It can serve as a reference for shaping, but it cannot guarantee that the actual texture of the hair, its volume, and the shape of the head will yield the same result. It is best to choose candidate images from both front and side views, and then have a barber give an assessment.

Summary

HairstyleAI is suitable for users who are willing to provide multiple selfies and want to see a large number of hairstyle options at once. Each project offers 30 different hairstyles along with 120 high-resolution images, enabling vague ideas about a hairstyle to be turned into more concrete visual materials for communication.

Before making a purchase, it is important to understand the training process, the strict conditions for refunds, the requirement to delete photos after 7 days, and the role of third-party services involved in cross-border transactions. The results generated should serve as inspiration and a tool for communication, rather than representing a guarantee of the actual outcome of the haircut.
