What is this website?
StyleMirror (also presented as AI Hairstyle Changer) is an online AI tool for previewing haircuts and hair colors on your own photo. After uploading a clear selfie, you can try about 65 curated styles, a reference hairstyle photo, or a text prompt—while aiming to change only the hair and keep your face and background. It helps compare short cuts, bangs, curls, braids, or color changes before a salon visit; it does not replace real-world cutting judgment.
Core features
- Upload a selfie and try about 65 curated hairstyles
- Copy a cut and color from a reference photo, or describe the look in words
- Covers pixies, bobs, bangs, layers, curls, braids/locs, natural textures, and color changes
- Compare results with the original photo and keep them in private history
- New accounts get trial credits; failed runs refund credits automatically
- The site says uploaded source photos are not kept long-term; history results can be deleted
Common use cases
- Before a salon appointment: preview short cuts, bangs, or bold colors to narrow the brief
- Inspired by a celebrity or magazine look: upload a reference and see an approximate fit
- Color-only experiments: pick presets such as platinum or copper, or describe the shade
- After comparing options, download watermark-free images on paid plans for client or social use (per site commercial-use notes)
Who is it for?
- Individuals who want a visual preview before a haircut or color appointment
- Light stylist-assistant use when quickly comparing looks with a client
- People who want their facial features preserved while only the hair changes
- Poor fit: treating an AI preview as a guarantee of real hair texture, head shape, or salon technique
- Also a poor fit for group photos, heavy occlusion, or hats/hands covering the hair
How does it compare with similar tools?
Compare whether the tool stresses "hair only, face unchanged"; whether inputs include presets, reference photos, and text; how broad the style library is; whether trial credits and per-run cost are clear; and how uploads versus history results are handled for privacy. StyleMirror is a hairstyle try-on preview, not a general portrait-retouch suite.
