How to Try On a Haircut Before You Commit

Isabella García 2 min read

Cutting your hair is the one style decision you cannot undo. A stylist can show you photographs of other people with the cut, which answers a question you did not ask: it suits them.

MioLook puts a hairstyle on your own face instead. One photo, about a minute, and you get to see the thing you were actually wondering about.

Step 1. Use a close-up photo of your face

This matters more than anything else here. A full-length photo leaves very few pixels on your face, and the result comes back looking like someone else with the right haircut. A head-and-shoulders shot, taken straight on in daylight, keeps your features — and it is your face you are trying to judge.

Step 2. Pick a cut, or describe one

The catalogue holds several hundred combinations of cut, length and colour, sorted by face shape. If nothing fits what you have in mind, describe it in your own words instead — the field below the catalogue takes free text.

Step 3. Look at your own face

Three cuts on the same person, all from the photo on the left. Note that the freckles survive: it is the same face throughout, which is exactly what makes the comparison worth anything.

A pixie is the decision people agonise over for months. Seeing it on your own face for one euro is a different proposition from finding out in the chair.

What it costs

A hairstyle try-on costs 100 credits — one euro, and the most expensive single operation in the app, because it generates a full portrait. A makeup try-on costs the same. Access to MioLook is a one-time €0.99 payment including 200 credits, plus 5 free credits every day.

The honest limitation: the result is a rendering, not a photograph of the future. It answers whether the shape and length work with your face, not how the cut will behave on your particular hair on a Tuesday morning.
