PRIVATE AI HAIRSTYLE PREVIEW
AI hairstyle changer for your own photo.
Upload your photo, choose a hairstyle, and preview the change on the same face, pose and background. HairWhatIf is an AI hairstyle changer for haircut planning, not a salon result. One delivered curated-style preview is available before account creation when the guest path is open. Custom reference is available only where Studio shows that option.
Hats, heavy filters, cropped crowns and blurry faces still fail. A passed preview does not prove salon density, texture or technique.
No account before the first delivered preview.
The guest path gives one successful curated-template preview when the guest feature is available. The free result is low-resolution, lightly watermarked and short-lived; registration keeps the same owner and opens account, history and checkout flows.
- One successful guest preview first
- Hair changes without moving the face goal
- No credit settlement for undelivered jobs

THREE STEPS
Upload, choose hair, then review the delivered preview.
- 01
Upload your photo
Studio checks file type, dimensions and consent before private upload for the selected job.
- 02
Pick the hairstyle
Start with a curated style. Custom reference is selectable only when the signed-in Studio path shows it.
- 03
Generate and check
The result must pass delivery checks before a credit settles or the guest preview is consumed.
Change the hair, not the person.
HairWhatIf treats your photo as the identity and scene. A hairstyle reference supplies hair structure, not a new face, pose or background.
Face, expression, skin tone, clothing and background are not the intended edit.
A provider image is only a candidate until it passes identity, hairstyle, locality and artifact checks.
A preview is a decision aid for hair planning, not a salon outcome guarantee.
FREE PREVIEW RULES
Know the free result limits before you generate.
The free preview is meant to prove whether the product can produce a useful first result. It is not a hidden subscription, daily free credit program or unlimited comparison flow.
One successful guest result consumes the guest entitlement. Failed, blocked or undelivered terminal jobs release the reservation only after the service proves no future deliverable or unresolved provider outcome remains; that release is not a card refund.
The guest path starts from curated styles. Custom reference upload still follows the signed-in Studio capability.
The free result is served as a low-resolution, light-watermark preview with a short guest access window.
History, keeping a result, HD download, more comparisons, checkout and account billing require registration and server-side entitlement checks. Another generation or hairstyle comparison starts a new job.
COMPARISON USE CASES
Use previews to narrow choices before a haircut.
Test references
Use a curated style first, then sign in for custom reference where the product shows that path.
Prepare questions
Bring the preview to a stylist as a visual note, not as a promise that hair texture and technique will match exactly.

The intended edit is hair. Source photos and references are private inputs, not public examples or marketing testimonials.
Guest previews are short-lived.
Guest delivered results use a seven-day access window. Source inputs are handled separately from kept account results and the account deletion path remains the owner data-removal boundary.
PRICE PREVIEW
Credits stay tied to delivered results.
This homepage preview uses the same server-published catalog as Pricing and Checkout. If the catalog is unavailable, no purchase button or guessed price appears.
One credit is one checked delivered result.
One automatic retry is included for directed quality repair.
Failed, blocked, canceled, or undelivered terminal jobs release the reservation only after the service proves no future deliverable or unresolved provider outcome remains; provider-accepted unknown outcomes stay held for reconciliation and do not settle.
Starting another generation or comparing another hairstyle creates a new job and needs a new reservation.
For paid results, HD download, repeat download, included watermark removal, and result access do not create another credit charge.
A generation reservation release is not a card refund; refunds and chargebacks are handled in Billing and the refund policy.

Model disclosure and safety rules are public.
HairWhatIf currently uses GPT Image 2 through an OpenAI-compatible image-generation route. HairWhatIf is independent from OpenAI and GPT. Every AI hairstyle preview is governed by the AIGC Use Policy before upload, generation, delivery, download or support review.
Read the AIGC Use PolicyNo sexual/NSFW, violent, gore, blood, hateful or discriminatory content
No child-unsafe content, CSAM, minors or age-ambiguous people
No deepfakes, impersonation, unauthorized identity replication or IP infringement
Violations may be rejected, removed, reviewed, reported or account-limited
How Studio works
Do I need an account before the first preview?
No. The guest flow can show one delivered curated-template preview before account creation when the guest feature is available. Registration keeps the same owner instead of moving the result to a new account.
What does the free preview include?
It is a low-resolution, light-watermark preview with a short guest access window. History, keeping results, more comparisons, checkout and billing remain behind registration and server-side entitlement checks.
Does a failed generation consume a credit?
No. One credit settles only for one checked delivered result. Confirmed no-delivery terminal jobs release the reservation rather than consuming a credit. Provider-accepted unknown outcomes stay held for reconciliation until the service can prove the safe outcome.
How is this different from a random hairstyle generator?
The target photo supplies identity and scene. The reference supplies hair structure, and a candidate must pass delivery checks before it is treated as a result.
Can I use a custom reference?
Only where Studio shows the signed-in custom-reference path. The reference must be an image you own or are allowed to use.
Which AI model and AIGC rules apply?
Generation currently uses GPT Image 2 through an OpenAI-compatible route. The AIGC Use Policy prohibits sexual/NSFW, violence/gore, hate, child-unsafe content, deepfakes/impersonation and IP infringement, with reporting, enforcement and platform review.
