# Hairstyle Atlas

> Hairstyle Atlas is an AI hairstyle try-on. You upload one clear, front-facing selfie, pick a cut or a colour, and it is rendered onto your own face in about twenty seconds with your features, skin tone and the lighting of the photo held exactly as shot - so two looks are genuinely comparable, and the render is something you can hand a barber or stylist as a reference. It is built for the decision before the appointment: the point is to stop paying for a badly described haircut with a month of grow-out. There are focused pages for the single question people actually arrive with - fade height, clipper grade, bangs, a receding hairline, going short, going blonde - alongside a full men's and women's catalogue, colour try-on and a hairline preview. The first render is free and needs no card. Photos and renders stay private to your own library: no biometric faceprint, no face recognition, nothing shared with advertisers, and everything deleted with your account.

## How It Works

- Upload one clear, front-facing photo. One selfie is enough - there is no model to train, no photo set to submit and nothing to install.
- Set your hair texture, and your face shape if you want the recommendations. The cut is rendered for your own hair rather than salon-smooth stock hair.
- Pick a look from the catalogue, or upload a photo of a haircut you saw somewhere and have the cut read off that reference instead.
- Compare looks on the same photo, download at full resolution without a watermark, and take the before-and-after sheet to the chair. Ask in numbers - clipper guard, fade height, fringe length in centimetres - because numbers survive the conversation and adjectives do not.

## Who It Is For

- Settling on a haircut before booking, instead of describing one across a barber's mirror.
- Testing a colour - balayage, blonde, a money piece, a grey grow-out - before anyone opens the bleach.
- Seeing a buzz cut, a shaved head or a first short cut on your own head while it is still reversible.
- Checking how a cut sits with a receding hairline or thinning on top.
- Working out what suits your face shape and hair texture rather than the model's in the photo you saved.
- Barbers, stylists and salons agreeing a look with a client in the chair before the clippers come out.

## Pricing

- Free: the first render costs nothing and needs no card - 15 credits, which is one hairstyle and one colour on it. Granted once, no refill.
- Starter: $9/month or $90/year - 150 credits a month. Enough to settle one haircut.
- Pro: $24/month or $240/year - 480 credits a month, with the extra angles. Try everything before you commit.
- Enterprise: custom pricing for salons, barbershops and teams - from 2,000 credits a month, seats for the whole floor.
- Credits are denominated in pictures, because a picture is what the image provider bills for. A hairstyle on your photo is 10 credits, a colour on that cut is 5, and each extra angle is another 10. Length, fringe and parting are free - they are part of the same picture. A render that fails hands its credits straight back.
- Cancel in two clicks, and a full refund is available for seven days with no conditions.
- [Pricing](https://hairstyleatlas.com/pricing): Current prices, what each plan unlocks, and the billing FAQ.

## For Salons & Barbershops

## Privacy & Your Photos

- Your photo is stored to create your render and stays in your library, visible only to you, while your account is open. Copies are held for up to 90 days after you delete the account, then removed.
- Renders are produced with AI image models, including models run by third-party providers on Hairstyle Atlas's behalf.
- No biometric faceprint is built or kept for identifying anyone, no face recognition is run, no photo is matched against any database, and no face data goes to anyone who does any of that.
- Photos are not sold and are not shared with advertisers.
- Deleting your account removes your photos and renders from the service straight away, and individual ones can be removed sooner on request. Copies kept for abuse and dispute handling go within 90 days, and backups roll off within 30.
- Identifiable photos and renders are used to train or fine-tune models only where you have switched that on in account settings, and you can switch it off again. De-identified and aggregate data is used to improve the service without that permission.
- Nothing you upload is published. There is no public gallery of users' faces on the site.
- Hairstyle Atlas is not for under-16s, and photographs of children must not be uploaded.
- [Privacy Policy](https://hairstyleatlas.com/privacy): The full policy, including who processes a photo and how long it is kept.

## Limits & Accuracy

- A render is a reference image, not a prediction. It is close on shape and length; how a cut actually behaves depends on your cowlick, your growth pattern and how much product you use.
- Hairline and thinning previews are pictures of a haircut, not a medical opinion, a diagnosis or a treatment recommendation.
- Face-shape guidance is a starting point for a conversation with a professional, not a rule.
- Hairstyle Atlas does not cut hair, book appointments or sell haircuts. It ends at the reference image you take to a barber or stylist.
- Colour renders show the target shade. Whether your own hair can reach it in one session is a question for a colourist.
