Hairstyle Atlas

Matching cuts to face shape before the try-on is a nice touch. How does it cope with selfies in bad light or with hair pulled back? In our camera app the first photo is rarely a clean one, so a quick tip like 'face a window' before the 20-second render could save people a wasted try.

The face-shape matching is the part I find most useful, since most people don't know which cuts suit them before sitting in the chair. Do you show a few alternatives side by side from the one selfie, so users can compare a fade against a crop before choosing?

good project thank you

The drag-to-compare slider on the textured fade sample sells the idea well, and I appreciated the note that those samples are pre-generated rather than live. It does mean the first real test of your own selfie sits behind an account, so I'd be curious whether one render without sign-up would convert better. I also wondered how it copes with harder photos, like long hair, a hat or a side angle. Does it keep the person's own hairline, or replace it with the model's?

Showing cuts matched to face shape before the try-on is a smart touch. A short on-screen tip about lighting and framing for the selfie would probably improve first-try results.

HairstyleAtlas tackles a real problem: it’s hard to know how a haircut will look on you from inspiration photos alone. I like that you can preview specific cuts and colors on your own face, then bring a comparison sheet to your barber—it makes the result useful beyond the screen. One feature I’d love to see is a shareable shortlist for comparing a few favorite looks with a stylist before an appointment. How are you thinking about helping people narrow down their final choice?

Matching cuts to face shape before the try-on is a thoughtful touch, since most people only find out what suits them in the chair. Does the 20-second render handle colour changes as well as cuts, for example showing a fade with a darker tone on the same selfie?
