Hair AI Salon vs Snipd

Hair AI Salon creates photorealistic previews of hairstyles, cuts and colors using photos users provide. The app advertises more than 130 haircut options and unlimited hair colors, and users can describe a desired style for a custom preview. They can also upload a reference hairstyle photo for adaptation to their face shape and hair type. Results include a before-and-after slider and can be saved to the gallery to show a stylist. New featured trending styles are released every Saturday. Available for Android and iOS, the app is free to download and includes credits for initial previews. Listed purchases include $3.99, paid once for five style credits, $6.99, paid once for a top-up, $9.99 a month, $14.99, paid once for 40 credits, $34.99, paid once for 100 credits and $59.99 a year. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled through store account settings. Uploaded photos are sent to third-party AI providers with explicit user consent. The privacy policy says images are not used for advertising or AI training and are not retained after processing except temporarily to deliver the feature. The service is intended for personal, non-commercial use.

Snipd lets users preview hairstyles and hair colors on their own photos before visiting a stylist. A selfie-based try-on shows possible looks, and a photo-match feature lets users bring a hairstyle reference image to explore that style on themselves; some features require Premium. For ideas without a photo or sign-up, the website offers a free quiz: five questions produce three hairstyle ideas. Snipd says its suggestions span straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair, along with braids and locs. The app is presented as a way to explore a look and share a preferred preview with a stylist. The previews are inspiration, and a real cut or color may look different. Snipd is listed for iOS and web, while its site says the iPhone app requires iOS 17 or later. The Free plan is free. Premium costs $29.99, paid once, billed 3 months, or $69.99 a year, billed Yearly. App Store subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before renewal.
