HairTry

HairTry is an AI tool for previewing hairstyles and colors on your photo before a salon visit. It is best for people who want to compare looks from several angles or start from a reference image or written prompt. Its flexible previews are a strong way to explore options, but credits expire after 60 days.

Overview

HairTry combines a large, growing style library with personalized recommendations: the company says its AI analyzes more than 67 facial points and its library has more than 1,000 styles, with more than 50 added each month. That gives users plenty to explore, but a digital preview is a planning aid, not a promise of what a stylist can reproduce.

The service is available on Android, iOS, macOS and the web. Its free trial includes all features and does not require a credit card, making it possible to assess the experience before buying credits.

Key features

Previews cover front, side, back and top views, and the app offers 15 hair colors, from natural shades to bolder choices. Seeing multiple angles and colors can help users settle on a direction before an appointment, although the available color range is still a defined set rather than an unrestricted palette.

Users can upload an inspiration photo and transfer its hairstyle onto their selfie, or describe a look in text for the AI to generate. The reference image offers a concrete starting point; prompts are more open-ended but rely on how clearly the user can describe the idea. HairTry also advertises custom views, personalized recommendations, social sharing and HD downloads, with ultra-HD output and watermark-free exports.

Photos and privacy

Uploaded photos are automatically deleted after 14 days and are not used for other purposes. HairTry says facial data is not used for identification, biometric recognition is not performed, and facial data is not shared with third parties. Registration may require an email address, city, gender and name, so users should consider that account information alongside their photo.

Pricing

HairTry has a free trial with access to all features and no credit card requirement. Continued use is sold as one-time credit packs, not recurring subscriptions. Each pack includes all hairstyles and colors, custom views, personalized recommendations, watermark-free results, 14 days of cloud storage, social sharing and HD downloads.

The larger packs provide more credits, while the listed feature set stays the same. Choose a pack you expect to use within its 60-day validity; unused credits do not remain available beyond that period. Cloud storage lasts 14 days, shorter than the credit window, so users should download results they want to keep.

Platforms

HairTry supports Android, iOS, macOS and web. That mix suits people who want to use a phone for selfies or continue exploring on a desktop; mobile app support is specifically offered for iOS and Android.

Who it's for

HairTry is a good fit for people preparing for a haircut or color appointment who want to compare several angles, test a reference look, or explore an idea through a text prompt. It is less suitable for someone seeking a lasting free allowance or who may not use credits before they expire.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Four viewing angles and 15 colors help users examine a look beyond a single front-facing preview.
• Pros: Reference-image transfer and text prompts offer two ways to move beyond browsing preset styles.
• Pros: The trial includes all features without requiring a credit card.
• Cons: Paid credits expire after 60 days, which can penalize occasional users.
• Cons: Cloud storage lasts 14 days, so keeping a result requires downloading it in time.

Alternatives

AI Hairstyle Generators is a useful place to compare options across the category.

Choose The Right Hairstyles AI Hairstyle Changer if one free, watermark-free try-on and a library of 100+ styles are enough to start. Consider Hair AI Salon for an Android or iOS alternative with free credits for initial previews.

HairHunt offers a free, watermark-free try-on with 100+ styles, plus a 9.99 USD monthly subscription for users who prefer monthly credits over HairTry's expiring one-time packs. Mira is another freemium option across Android, iOS and web, with a 9.99 USD one-time web credit pack.

Pict.AI may suit users who want free web access, with two free uses per tool per IP address before further use directs them to the mobile app. AI Hairstyle is a web-only option with a Basic plan at $1.99 a month. SeeMyCut is worth considering for a web-based annual plan at $7 a year, while Hair Magic is an iOS alternative.

Verdict

HairTry is a strong choice for anyone who wants a detailed, flexible preview before discussing a new look with a stylist: multiple angles, color options, reference transfers and prompts make it useful for turning an idea into something to compare. The all-feature trial lowers the barrier to trying it. Look elsewhere if you want credits that do not expire or cloud storage beyond 14 days.
